“Luke’s unwavering loyalty to Lexi and her family gives this sweet romance unexpected integrity …Readers looking for a tender romance that leans … romance that leans more toward the emotional than the physical will find this very satisfying.” ~ Publishers Weekly

A second chance… A scandal ended the careers of the Wilder Sisters, the chart topping country rock band. But Lexi Wilder is okay with that, thanks for asking. She’s been on the road since roughly forever, so she’s going to enjoy the break. After all, there’s nothing quite like the beautiful sandy beaches of Monterey Bay to soothe a woman’s soul.
Luke Wyatt never wanted to trade fame and fortune for the only woman he’s ever loved. Now that he’s finished a punishing year-long national tour he’s headed back to his hometown of Whistle Cove for the quiet, the beaches, the inspiration, and the girl. Not necessarily in that order. Nashville wants more country gold like the #1 song he co-wrote with Lexi. Luke is looking for peace and Lexi.
But Lexi hasn’t forgiven him for choosing fame over her…
“Country Gold is a chart topper! Heatherly Bell two-steps her new series onto the stage with a sweet but realistic love story. The juxtaposition between Lexi and Luke is unique, as she has spent most of her life on stage and his fame is almost a fluke. Lexi’s burn-out is palpable, as if her heartbreak, dimming Luke’s hopes of patching things up between them. You don’t have to like country music to love this couple and their happily ever after. ” ~ 4 stars, In’Dtale magazine, November 2018 issue

I really liked Luke and Lexi and their relationship. Not sure why Luke was surprised that Lexi dropped him after he left her to chase fame when her career hit the skids. If he hadn’t ignored her texts and calls and reassured her when he was photographed with other women, she wouldn’t have broken up with him. Luckily she forgave him and they got their HEA.
Very good book. A sweet love story.
Very well written and entertaining! Fun characters
Really enjoyed reading this book. Great characters.
An interesting read, but if you read many of this type of book you can predict early on how it is going to end. Enjoyed reading it.
It was just okay for me, kind of slow at times but still a good book.
I liked the syory overall…. hard to believe it was only a month. I thought the Kit portion could be seriously shortened or dropped. Having lived in San Jose and Palo Alto I was surprised that they were phrased as not part of SF Bay
The characters were delightful, and delightfully misguided about each other! The book was an easy, quick read and lots of fun!
Very good story. Enjoyable read.
LI thought it was a good book, but not a great one. I’m not fond when an author lays out there character ‘s problem whether trust, bad child hood etc… and then repeat that trouble over and over again. The first time is fine, by the 5th time it’s getting old, by the 20th time it’s annoying. That was my main complaint of the story. I felt like I was getting hit over the head of their issues. The premise was great, the story was enjoyable, but repetitive.
Barely got through this book. Just okay…
Interesting to see the life style of musicians and the difficulties.
I was excited to read Country Gold by Heatherly Bell. I was intrigued by the blurb and I was not disappointed. I am a huge fan of actor/musician stories as they try to maneuver real life with fame and fortune.
Lexi Wilder and her sisters were part of a successful country band, until a scandal brought them down. Now they are living a quiet life back home. Lexi is okay with that. Luke Wyatt just finished his own tour and is ready for a break. He decides to go home and get his girl back, but can Lexi ever forgive him?
Lexi is not ready to let Luke back in her life, but he is one very determined man. But Lexi is done with life under the lights and attempts to push Luke away. All Lexi wants was to live a quiet life and move forward, but Luke was not willing to let her go. I loved the characters and their journey so much. I am looking forward to getting the other sisters stories as well!
