The Sewing in SoCal series is complete! Each woman has had the chance to shine in her own story. First Molly, then Jocelyn, Nicole, and Amanda. Finally, the spicy Argentine Betsy has her turn in the spotlight.
Except the spotlight is exactly what Betsy does not want. Music flows through her veins, but she wants to take a back seat as a producer and sound technician. And her #1 rule in life? Never fall for a muscian.
When Asher North stumbles into Betsy's little recording studio looking for someone to mix their sound board for his upcoming tour, he's floored by the singing he hears before Betsy realizes he's present. How could such talent hide away?
Betsy doesn't want to go with Asher's band, but the paycheck he is offering would help her family. And family is everything. Determined not to give in to the hum of attraction she feels toward Asher, Betsy dials her sarcasm up to 12 and agrees to accompany True North on tour.
I really enjoyed the sweet heat in Asher and Betsy's romance. He is determined to show her his intention with patience, building a foundation of trustworthiness. She is determined to rebuff him—except there's something about him she can't deny. Unlike the musicians she's known before, he isn't in this occupation for personal glory. She can't figure him out.
Asher's faith is beautifully portrayed within these pages. I really, really liked him as a hero. I wish Betsy's had been a little more clearly seen. That was my only small complaint in this story, but overall the faith message was really strong, which I always appreciate.
This has been a wonderful series, and I can't wait to see what's up next from this author, who provided me an early copy of this book. All thoughts in this review are my own.
