I liked this book way more than I thought I would.
For a debut, it was very good. It kept engaged and entertained and I couldn't ask for more.
Eleanor was new in town and that's never easy but she more than make it work. She tried to resist Luke but it was impossible.
Luke was so smitten with her the moment he saw her, it was adorable. She pust him in the friendzone a little in the beggining but she changed her mind quick enough.
They had their ups and downs but despite it all, their love for each other never changed.
The mystery part was so good, it was a very nice plot and I was hooked.

I don't know what to ask first are straight women okay or was this book secretly written by a man?!

This had a promising premise, with the story of a photographer navigating a new city's vibrant music scene plus it came packaged in a cute cover.
Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended for me. Plot was underwhelming but that wasn't the main problem I had with it.
I did not finish this book and that mostly had to do with the male protagonist, Luke. He give me the ick right at the beginning and he just kept being a red flag. After some time, a short period of time might I add, i just couldn't with him anymore and cut my loses with this book. Luke's behaviours is nothing to write home to about nor should it be romanticized. In my head Eleanor is living her best life without him.

I think my expectations on this one were too high, but I still really enjoyed the book and think it was a very fun read.

In the book we follow Eleanor during her research in Austin on a photo she found. She gets unexpected help from Luke, who at the same time gives her a tour around the city. As the story is a dual-pov, we get to know both their thoughts and the way they develop feelings for each other.

“I didn’t know I had a cowboy fantasy until this very moment.”

Overall, the writing was good and easy to read and the story was definitely interesting. Still, I’m not a big fan of the miscommunication trope which ruined jt a bit for me. I just feel like a lot of the plot could be avoided if Luke would have been honest from the beginning.

“Just because he’s on my shitlist doesn’t mean I don’t care.”

I really enjoyed the way music and history were incorporated in the story and I felt like not only Eleanor got taken on a tour around the city but me as reader as well. If you’re in the mood for a cute romance story with a bit of a scavenger hunt, this one would be perfect.

This Reviewer Received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

Starting this book I really loved the cover art and the adorable premise of the story. A photographer and a music producer meet over uncovering the story behind a mysterious photo in what I can only describe as a simple romance novel. It has dogs, it has music, it has a sort of cowboy? Eleanor was a cute heroine, but I found her a bit underwhelming. Luke did not seem like a very great guy and I didn’t love their chemistry together. There were parts of the book that would have been great if more polished and less drawn out or dramatic.. I think this has its audience, but it wasn’t for me.

This is one of those books where 1) you still think about days after & 2) even if you nothing about the subject matter/are an expert it's still thoroughly enjoyable. Eleanor is a photographer by passion and an archivist by trade. She just moved to Austin and discovered a photograph that led her down a rabbit hole. Enter Luke Wyatt, who decides he wants to help her find the story behind the picture, but not cause he's attracted to her, no he's being a good Southern gentleman. I did not see the plot twist coming until Luke started to have doubts, turns out he's known the whole time who the person in the picture is! Luke's Dad's affair partner and the former best friend of both Mom and Dad. While the revelation made Eleanor doubt Luke's initial intentions what I disliked the most was his apology. I thought he needed to grovel more for stringing her along for so long and then just dropping her like a hot potato. She took him back way too easily in my opinion. This was a fun read with really vivid characters and a surprising twist.

Ok, now this book was adorable.

Eleanor Hayes secures a job in Austin, Texas, as an archivest in their thought music library, and she stumbles upon a photo of a mysterious young female musician from 1993. This photo sends her on a whirlwind adventure of forbidden love, family secrets, self realizationn, lost and found family, and ultimately love for herself.

Eleanor is like so many women. She has a quiet strength that she has quieted because of her low self-esteem, which she has largely due to failed relationships and the margor heartbreak she received by her previous long-term philandering boyfriend. She meets Luke Wyatt, and the two of them have an undeniable chemistry that they both try to ignore.. but they fail!

This was just the romance trope that I needed.

Thank you, Netgalley and Lolu Sinclair, for the e-arc of this beautiful book.

Lost Love on 6th Street by Lolu Sinclair was an adorable romance story!
The dual POV of Eleanor and Luke was amazing. I enjoyed getting both perspectives.
The characters were fantastic, the story was gorgeous and I loved the setting.

The way Lolu sinclair writes is unlike anything i have read before.It is not only fast paced and easy to read but it also keeps your attention,making you want to read even more until you find yourself finishing the book.In all honesty i wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as i did.I loved the plot,especially how she added this mystery element to it so that it wasn't just focused on the romance but you were also constantly wondering what is going to happen with this photo Eleanor has found at her work and if it's going to be this next big story.This was also set in a small town and it had all of the cowboy vibes we all know and love.I also loved the male main interest - Luke.He was so sweet and genuine and although he did mess up at some points he grovelled for her forgiveness and i feel he done so strongly and well.I will definitely be reading anything and everything Lolu releases as this book made me feel such good,positive romcom vibes with a good plot but also a mystery within it that doesnt take up the entire book so you don't feel overwhelmed but it also has all of the romcom elements you look for in a romance book.

Not sure about this book. I just couldn't take to the main characters Luke and Eleanor. I kept reading hoping I might but I just didn't. Luke was just too smooth and I just didn't warm to Eleanor.
I loved Shortbread and felt as if Eleanor let him down. I liked Jolene and Claire.
I wanted to like the book as I love music but just didn't love it at all.
Thanks to Netgallery.

This book will make you want to plan a trip to Austin!

Eleanor Hayes is an archivist who thinks her temporary gig at Austin’s music library is going to be all about dusty old files. But then she stumbles across a photo of a mysterious musician from 1993, and suddenly, things get way more interesting.

Luke Wyatt is a charming music promoter and their partnership turns into a whirlwind adventure full of clues, late-night texts, and lots of chemistry.

I thought this book was absolutely adorable!

The Austin vibes were so spot-on that I could practically feel the energy of the city while reading.

Eleanor and Luke’s relationship is super sweet. It’s one of those books that just makes you smile.

If you’re into light-hearted romance with a bit of mystery, or if you just love Austin’s culture, you should read this book!

Thank you NetGalley and Lolu Sinclair
for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Eleanor Hayes ttook a temporary job at Austin’s music library to get her out of Chicago. She never thought she would run into Luke Wyatt a local music promoter. Together they end up trying to solve the mystry of who the woman is in a captivating photo of a mysterious young musician from 1993 that Eleanor found in the archives.

Thank you NetGalley and Lost Lust for an ARC, It was fun to read a book that was placed in my town.

This is rather lovely - as much it is a romance between Luke and Eleanor, as it is a love letter to Austin, Texas and the music scene there. Luke and Eleanor literally bump into each other in the street, and Luke manoeuvres to stay in touch with Eleanor as she investigates a photo she finds at work. She is new to Austin and looking for a space for herself. He’s a local, knows everyone and everything in the town and in the music scene. It’s tender as they fall for each other. The photo is a bit of a MacGuffin but it works to propel the plot forward, before other factors take over. Luke keeps a secret - silly boy - it’s bound to come back and bite him. And then one little lie leads to …

I loved getting to know Austin, the music, the clothes, all the characters they come across. It’s all feels a little other-worldly, even though it’s set in the present. It’s first person dual POV, so even with secrets, we get to know both Luke and Eleanor really well. There’s instalove, caretaking and steam 🌶️. A promising debut for Lolu Sinclair.

Thank you NetGalley, and Lolu Sinclair for the ARC. Opinions are my own.

A little mystery and a lot of love! Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

Photojournalist, Eleanor Hayes, is determined to find the story behind a photo in the Austin music scene archives she is cataloging. When he literally bumps into a beautiful woman on 6th Street in Austin, Luke Wyatt is quickly smitten. He eagerly offers to help Eleanor solve her photo mystery. As a music promoter, he knows everyone in the business. In particular, he knows the woman in the old photo, and he has his own questions about her. But of course, he doesn't tell Eleanor. And this is where I had problems with this book. I hate the I-didn't-think-it-would-matter-if-I-lied-and-now-how-am-i-going-to-tell-the-truth trope.. That said, I liked the premise of solving a mystery. The plot is well organized, has some nice twists to it, and the story is told well. There is a very steamy scene and some good sexual tension leading up to it. There were just some inconsistencies in the story-telling that were irksome. It starts out all sweet, clean romance, then when the less sweet-clean stuff shows up it's a bit jarring. Overall, it's a an enjoyable read, if you are ok with the now-its-too-late-to-tell-the-truth bit.

First and foremost, thank you NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

I really wanted to love this one, I really did. I loved Eleanor’s character and her quest to find the woman in the picture, but I wasn’t a big fan of Luke. He was okay-ish, I guess, just didn’t seem to work for me. It felt a bit insta-love the relationship between Luke and Eleanor and I’m not a huge fan of that trope. I also felt the book dragged a little bit, things could’ve been solved a little more smoothly. Overall, it was an okay read, so that’s why I’m rating it three stars.

This was a cute read but I didn’t feel like I wanted to continue reading this book, I feel like it sort of dragged on longer than it needed to and that I had to finish the book. However, I can see the idea and how it could have developed so hopefully in the future there may be something that captures my interest more.

Thankyou NetGalley for the arc

Archivist Eleanor Hayes thought her temporary job at Austin’s music library would be all about dusty files and faded images. However, when she finds a photo of a mysterious young female musician from 1993, she finds herself determined to uncover her story. Soon Eleanor finds herself enthralled by Austin’s vibrant music scene. When she meets Luke Wyatt, a music promoter she finds herself drawn into his world, as they both try to uncover more about the musician.
An interesting story with two quite engaging characters. Their dialogue is quite witty with plenty of banter. Eleanor’s inquisitiveness together with Luke’s trustworthy nature, made for an entertaining read.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced reader copy.

This was a sweet, dual POV romance set amidst the Austin music scene. It was refreshing to see a romance set in a metro area outside of the usual New York and Los Angeles. Both Luke and Eleanor were likeable and made you want to root for them individually and as a couple.

I wanted to love it. The concept was great but it dragged for me. The writing style was just not for me.

The concept for the book is really cute but unfortunately the book dragged for me. The writing felt flat and I had to force myself to finish.
