TITLE - Macon
AUTHOR - Marie James
BLURB:
Tossing a middle finger to Macon, Georgia as I made my way to Nashville was always the dream. Sing country music, go on tour, top the charts—with my popularity growing every day, I was on my way.
But then a gust of wind blew up your skirt, and those white cotton panties had me hooked. I didn’t know your name, and you turned down every attempt I tried to throw your way. But I knew you were different, even though you told me I was the same.
“Friends” is what you offered, and I played by your rules, but, Adelaide Hatfield, you have to know, from that day, it was only you.
I just hope I can make you see how much you mean to me before we both drown in the sorrow of what heartbreak can truly be.
REVIEW:
“A push and pull kinda story, 5 stars”
So, to be completely honest when this book came up for review I was riding passenger through Macon, it was like a sign. I didn’t read the blurb, I just chose to review.
Macon isn’t the typical love story that I go after. It had its hot moments but it also had moments of religion which I usually avoid. With that said though I enjoyed the story James wove for us. The religion was light and there was still heat so I was happy enough.
Axton is the typical musician. He has a bad boy edge and is just trying to make it. Doesn’t care about anything or anyone aside from his music. Until he sees Addie.
Addie is the good girl, preacher’s daughter. She brings out the good in him and he brings out the naughty in her. They’re a great pair. When they are together everything is great, it’s when they are apart everything falls apart. Communication is the issue but throughout the story you watch them learn from their mistakes.
Honestly parts of this story reminded me of Sam Hunt and his wife’s love story. I don’t know if that was something James did intentionally but it worked.
