Country music heartthrob Jonathan Van Castle, on the run from overenthusiastic groupies, barges into the shop of the one woman in town guaranteed not to be impressed by him, his music, or his fame. Lily's husband is dead, her livelihood is in danger, and her concern is only for Jon's two children, whom he hasn't seen in years. Gradually, Jon comes to see Lil as the answer to his dilemma. He arranges a marriage of convenience in order to wrest custody of Melanie and Michael from Belinda, their abusive mother, but comes to love Lil for herself and to enjoy the loving atmosphere she and her unconventional extended family create for him, his children, and his entourage. As the custody hearing approaches, Belinda's greed overcomes her good sense, and Jon realizes just what a treasure he has found in Lil. Corgiat's Missouri Ozark-based contemporary romance starts slowly and builds rapidly toward a shattering climax

This was a very sweet, if sometimes a little predictable, romance. I thought the characters of Lil and Jon were a lot of fun, but it sometimes seemed as if the supporting cast were a bit too much of a caricature. For me, excepting the main characters, the best one (and one I vote for a book on) is Zeke. I'm pretty sure that the author pursued the other sisters' lives but I'd love to know more about Zeke. The set-up for the action seemed a little draggy in the middle of the novel and I think that this novel could have had about 50 pages edited with little loss. However, with all its flaws, I did like this story and you are rooting for the HEA.
