A review by izziede
Famous in a Small Town by Kylie Scott

3.0

First of all this is my least fav troupe, Hero or heroine having a lover/spouse who they loved very much who has died.
For romance I struggle with it, mostly as getting the balance between moving on and not making the Hero or heroine seem like second best can be difficult.
I was hoping that as the Hero and his wife had been a famous couple it would be revealed their relationship wasn't as perfect as it had seemed but no, it seems everyone loved her.

It's been 2 years and the Hero is grumpy, brooding.
The heroine also has had some bad experiences with relationships and has some hang ups.
There is ex drama for the heroine, just small and the memory of the dead wife for the Hero and a misconstrued photo at one point.

No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
Convo 'im clean' and it's the safe time of the month for me.

I loved the small town, the secondary characters, neighbors, community.
Other band members are introduced with various back stories so plenty of material for future books.

Hero is not a man-whore.
It does feel a bit quick once he makes up his mind.
He's a bit push/pull at first, that is the drama in the book not really the fame issue.

Very irresponsible attitude to contraception, heroine is then pregnant.
HEA implied
I imagine if the author writes the other band members we will see their HEA in those books.
