Description
This one goes out to the one he left behind . . .
Guitarist Noah Kennedy is in a foul mood. He once stood at the proverbial crossroads and sold his soul for a successful rock career, but the sacrifice proved too great: Chasing his dream cost him the love of his life. Now he wants a do-over.
Museum curator Lucy Griffin has always loved Noah, but she has no use for a vagabond musician, not even one as intoxicating as Noah Kennedy. The last time she let Noah seduce her, the tour bus rolled out of town before Lucy discovered she was pregnant. Not that he ever knew. Having grown up with an absentee dad herself, Lucy shut Noah out of her life, vowing to protect her child from the heartache and empty promises of a fly-by-night father.
Now Noah’s back, tempting Lucy with everything she’s ever wanted—his time, his attention, his presence. Reuniting with Noah would mean revealing their child, risking his fury, and destabilizing the safe world Lucy’s created. But if she can’t trust Noah with her secret, she’ll lose her one chance to build the stable family she’s always wanted.

This is a lovely story about second chance love. Lucy and Noah have loved each other since high school but they don’t live in the same world. She can’t stand being apart all the time so his music career is a deal breaker. Lucy doesn’t want him to give it up and end up resenting her so she broke up with him. Over the years, they’re drawn together at various times but now Lucy has a secret that will change everything. She wants more with Noah, but doesn’t believe it’s possible. Noah only cares about Lucy, nothing else, but she’s always pushing him away.
They struggle to find it within themselves to compromise, and in Lucy’s case, to even recognize that compromise is an option. She’s had her mind made up about this for so long that she’s never questioned her convictions, but maybe it’s time re-evaluate what she wants and what he can give.
I keep reading series out of order. It’s unintentional, but I see a book that looks good and jump on it without any research. A blurb is enough for me. Typically this is no big deal except that it’s kind of a spoiler for when I read the earlier part of the series and Kind Of A Big Deal is no different. This is my first book by the author and I absolutely loved everything about it: the characters, her writing style, the ending. This was a beautiful story and I couldn’t put it down.
