REVIEW:

I am in such a happy place today. I just finished the book Second Song by Tess Thompson. It is the fourth book in The Parent App series. I have read all of the books so far and was immediately drawn in with the premise of the series. There are five moms whose children are starting school for the first time. A coffee gathering was organized for the mothers that first morning. Five of the moms  quickly become fast friends and lean on each other for support. They call themselves sisters. 

Several years down the line their oldest children decide their mothers should fall in love and get married.They put profiles online for their mothers before they tell them what they are doing. Needless to say, the moms were not happy about the situation. Three of them have gotten married so far.

Second Song is about Seraphina. She has one son and is a very well known and popular romance author. She works hard and has written sixty-one novels so far. I love a good book about an author. Part of this book is about music and has a visit to the Country Music City of Nashville, Tennessee. I love country music and have been to Nashville many times. This book hit so many good points for me. 

Second Song has so much happening that you just can’t be bored. I could never wait to get back to it. It was heartwarming and made me cry at least a few tears several times during the reading of this book. It truly is a must read. The whole series is! 

If you love clean romance and heartwarming family stories about everyday struggles, then this book and series is for you. I highly recommend The Parent App series and of all the books that I’ve read so far in the series, I think that Second Song is my favorite one. These are a must have for your nightstand. Until next time… Happy Reading!

SYNOPSIS:

Authors have two favorite words: The End.
Seraphina Sinclair has written sixty-one of them. None of them hers.

Sixty-one romance novels. Sixty-one happily-ever-afters for her characters — and exactly zero for herself.

And she’s been fine, thank you very much. Raising her son in their cliffside home above the Pacific. Keeping her heart safely out of the equation. Letting the fictional men do the falling.

What Seraphina does not know — what she will, in fact, be the last person in Willet Cove to find out — is that her fifteen-year-old son and his friends have quietly written her a dating profile on an app called Second Chance. And that her son has, independently and with the cool competence of someone who was clearly born to run a con, requested guitar lessons from the brooding, beautiful bartender at the local watering hole.

At their house. Every week.
Purely coincidentally.

Hunter Sloan came to Willet Cove to disappear. After a bitter, very public divorce, he walked away from Nashville, took a job pouring drinks at a small-town pub, and told himself a quieter life was what he needed. He was supposed to heal. Write some songs. Figure out what came next.

He wasn’t supposed to fall in love with Seraphina Sinclair the first time she walked into his bar.

But then — he also wasn’t supposed to spend the winter before he met her alone in a cottage by the sea, reading every one of her novels and wondering if the woman who wrote them could ever believe in one of her own.

What Seraphina doesn’t know is that Hunter has heard of her long before she heard of him.

Because her favorite song — the three-chord country ballad that’s been on repeat in her writing studio ever since it first hit the radio, the one that cracked her heart open and found its way into every love story she’s written since — was written by the man now standing in her living room tuning a guitar.

He wrote the song she’s been writing to.
Hunter.

When buried feelings finally surface and the outside world comes crashing in — tabloid lies, a scandal neither of them asked for, and paparazzi who do not care that Tyler is a minor — Seraphina and Hunter will have to decide whether the love they’ve quietly been making of each other for years is strong enough to survive the noise.

Luckily, her son and his band of determined teenage matchmakers have already done the hard part.

They were ninety-nine percent sure about it from the beginning.

Second Song is the fourth book in the Parent App series — a slow-burn, behind-closed-doors small-town romance featuring a guarded single-mom author, a songwriter hero who’s been pouring his heart into her favorite song for years, meddling teenage matchmakers considerably more effective than their mothers suspect, a country-music superstar best friend, and two people who found each other’s art long before they found each other.

Because in Willet Cove, the best love stories aren’t the ones you write.
They’re the ones your kid signs you up for.

Turns out Seraphina’s two favorite words might not be The End after all.
They might just be The Beginning.
