LOVE STRUCK

LOVE STRUCK                                               LAURELIN McGEE

Welcome to a seductive world where two solo artists combine their talents-and their hearts-to make beautiful music together...

SHE'S GETTING INTO THE GROOVE 
Lacy Dawson is a young singer-songwriter with a record deal, a studio gig, and a serious case of writer's block. After looking for love songs in all the wrong places, she finds inspiration at an online support group called Song Writers Anonymous. Thanks to one mysterious member who motivates her and inspires her, Lacy's career is back on track. But is she ready to meet her sexy musical muse...face to face?

HE MAKES HER HEART SKIP A BEAT
Eli is definitely interested in hooking up with Lacy, aka "LoveCoda." But between writing her new album and his band's success, they can't find the time to face the music-or each other-about their burgeoning online romance. All that changes when Eli and Lucy get booked on tour together. In person, the attraction is all too real and explosive. They both should walk away, but once they are in each other's arms, there is no turning back...

MY REVIEW:

     Lacy Dawson has had the deepest of lows and some highs that are truly on the way up.  It is just that steps on the way there that are a little bumpy.

     A year ago Lacy’s love of her life passed away.  Since then she has hit a writing dry spell which is not good since the date to record her next album has just moved up by several months.  She works at the recording studio where she will be recording it and Darrin her boss and Kat who she works with always see her with “Lucky” her guitar strumming. Yet, she’s got nothing written.

     She’s even joined several songwriter sites but most they know about Lance’s passing except for one site that is totally annoyance.  SoWriAn is a site where you can’t give any personals about yourself, only generals.  In fact you have to sign a contract and there are monitors for the site, you know like police.  So, there she can tell her fears about writing such as being blocked.  Not be the poor girl left behind again.  Her handle is “LoveCoda” and she starts in a group chat room but becomes friends with “FolxNotDead27” “Folx” for short.  So they decide to branch off and he is really active in trying to get her past her block issue. 

     Folx is Eli Frank a member of The Blue Hills and he’s the main writer for the band but LoveCoda doesn’t know that.  Remember only limited info.  What he does say is that he is not been happy in the band for a while.  That the band makes changes to his writing for so not for the integrity of the music, mainly to make one person happy.  LoveCoda encourages him to branch out on his own.

     Eli was too loyal to his college buddy and the closes thing to a brother he had.  No matter how many times Jax stepped on his toes, changed his lyrics, stole his girls or assumed his persona he could never walk away especially after the scare.  Jax says he did it for the art but Eli believes it was more.  The more they bowed to Jax the more detached Eli found himself becoming.

     One of the reasons he turned to SoWriAn he liked that he could talk and share with others like minded artist who wrote music.  Finding someone like LoveCoda has been a Godsend.  She speaks to a side of him no one has ever touched before.  Which is amazing to him because friends had talked about online dating or meeting girls in chatrooms and he thought they were crazy and now well…

     Watch as these two find their lives crossing without knowing and how complicated it becomes when they do.  Does the heart know what the mind doesn’t?  You might be surprised if this story has even a chance at being true. 

     I very much enjoyed the plot twist in this story.  Yet, with all the possibilities for change for this couple.  The heartache is real but the joy is too.  I give this 5 stars.  Provided netgalley.com.  Follow us at:  www.1rad-readerreviews.com.
