This was such a cute fun romance, this was such and easy read I couldn’t put it down love the cartoon cover, it’s so cute

I’m over the moon to say this dual POV romance was a total hit for me. *Grin* Set in the lively Austin music scene, refresing- from the usual New York and LA, Eleanor Hayes, an archivist, stumbles upon a mysterious photo of a musician from 1993. This sparks a whirlwind of forbidden love, family secrets, and a delightful journey of self-discovery. Eleanor, with her quiet strength and past heartbreaks, is as relatable as they come. Enter Luke Wyatt, and their undeniable chemistry is off the charts *grin* even though they both try to play it cool and fail hilariously.

As a huge music fangirl with a deep love for Austin’s 6th Street from my SXSW days, I was absolutely swooning and kicking my feet with joy. This book hit all the right notes, blending romance tropes perfectly while showcasing Austin's musical magic. I was rooting for these two from start to finish, and I couldn't get enough of their story!

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

3.5/5

I thought this was a pretty cute book. It follows Eleanor, who is new to the Austin, TX, area. Eleanor is a photographer trying to find more history about the Austin music scene. She gets some help from Luke, a handsome cowboy who essentially gives her a tour around the city.

Dual POV, so you get perspectives on both sides. The writing was good. However, there were some parts that felt forced between the two characters. Overall a quick read.

The Lost Love on 6th Street is an absolutely captivating read that left me spellbound from beginning to end. The author masterfully creates a rich, immersive world and the depth of detail in the world-building is truly remarkable.

The protagonist, is a beautifully complex character whose journey of self-discovery and courage resonates deeply. Her growth throughout the story is both believable and inspiring, making her a heroine you can’t help but root for. The supporting characters are just as well-crafted, each bringing their own unique charm and depth to the narrative.

The plot is filled with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. Just when I thought I had figured out what would happen next, the author skillfully surprised me. The themes of friendship, sacrifice, and the fight between good and evil are woven seamlessly into the narrative, adding layers of meaning that will leave readers pondering long after they turn the last page.

Overall, this book is a must-read for fantasy lovers. I can’t wait for the next installment!

I liked the plot in this book – and the book itself more than I initially thought I would. Elanor is new to town and trying to navigate her way in a new city. I love books that have dual point of view, so that scored a point for me.

The search for an answer kept the book going, while their relationship played by on the sidelines, keeping us in the loop. Quite a different theme in the book than I usually read, and I’m not mad at it!

Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publishers and the author for the opportunity to read this. All opinions expressed are my own.

This could’ve been good but it was almost juvenile in its execution. Maybe a different spin with it could’ve made it better. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this copy for read and review

First things first I would like to thank NetGalley, the publishers and Lolu Sinclair for the advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

So, this book had potential. I enjoyed the setting. The vibes were good, I've never been to Austin Texas but I feel like I got that part and completely understood it.
However, you can really tell that this is a debut. The author has talent and potential but needs more time to grow because there are quite a few things that didn't jive well for me. A lot of the initial portion of the book drags on the pacing is off.
Luke gave me the ick repeatedly. Like he lies to her, come on we do not Stan this energy. The plot is predictable once you get to the last 3rd of the book. There were moments it felt really cringey.

That being said I would be interested in still reading other books by this author in the future. I think there's lots of potential to grow into writing and really develop a writing style here.

I really forced myself to finish this book. For me was to much insta-love. I also thought some of the resolutions where forced and I would like to see them a bit smoothly.

Overall not bad, but not good too.

A sweet idea of a photo archivist pursuing the unrecorded story of an unidentified woman in a busy music town with the convenient help of a local music scene player.

The story was simple to read and quite juvenile at times. I understand the idea of “beginning with a lie” can be written well. It is not my favourite trope by a long shot but, it can be done. This felt too contrived. There was never any doubt that this was a work of fiction.

Our main characters were straightforward and were written in a dual POV. The bookish type FMC and the reformed player MMC who ran a thin line between over the top cinnamon roll and unidentified “ick”. The third act was a bit messy but no doubt over a HEA.

No surprises here. A palette cleanser between reads.

My thanks to NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read this eARC. All opinions are my own.

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.

A major thanks to Netgalley and Lolu Sinclair for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

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.

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
