But can they balance their musical worlds with their personal lives?Cinnamon Chadwick’s dream of musical stardom have come true. She’s part of the all-female country rock band, the Lipstick Outlaws, and their first year is going fantastic! The only downside to her life is her brother … is her brother tried to do a HGTV remodel on her charming old farmhouse and demolished it instead. Now she has to hire a contractor to fix it, but the band is about to leave on another big tour. To the world, she’s cin-vincable, but not so deep down, she’s still aching from the last time she tried to love someone. Now she hides the hurt behind the music.
Silas Black is tired of the cookie cutter houses he’s been working on. He longs for a genuine piece of architecture to fix up. So when he gets the contract to fix up Cinnamon’s farmhouse, he’s in heaven. And spending so much time with the beautiful star is the cherry on top.
But as Cinnamon bops in for short stays and leaves for extended periods, Silas soon sees the old farmhouse isn’t the only one needing time for rebuilding. So does Cinnamon’s heart, if only she would trust him and find the courage within herself to love again.
The Sweethearts of Country Music series includes six books by six different authors. Each novel features a member of the band as she struggles to balance music and love.

Cinnamon’s Courageous Heart by Ryan Jo Summers is the fifth book in The Sweethearts of Country Music series. Cinnamon Chadwick regrets letting her brother, Nick touch her house. Nick claimed he could handle the work after watching HGTV shows. He has left her farmhouse a wreck and now she needs to call in a contractor. Cinnamon hires Silas Black who understands what she wants in her home. Silas is not a country music listener, so he is unaware of the Lipstick Outlaws. Cinnamon is attracted to Silas, but she is afraid to risk her heart. Can Silas break down the walls surrounding Cinnamon’s fragile heart? Cinnamon’s Courageous Heart is a charming story. I thought it was well-written with a steady pace. I quickly devoured this book. Cinnamon appears to be a strong, brave woman, but she is really fragile. Her trust needs to be earned after she was burned by her ex-boyfriend. I liked the interactions between Maddie and Cinnamon. Silas is a handsome man with a heart of gold, and he did a wonderful job on Cinnamon’s farmhouse. I like the addition of the animals in the story (horse, cat and dog). It was interesting to learn about the app that will allow Cinnamon to watch her cat, Jasper at the kennel (interact with him). There seems to be an app for everything these days. I suggest you read The Sweethearts of Country Music series in order. It allows you to get to know each lady in the Lipstick Outlaws as well as Val, their families and the special someone in each of their lives. I am eager to read Mac’s story. Cinnamon’s Courageous Heart is an enticing romance with country refrains, bus bedlam, Skype sessions, and a fabulous fiddle.
Love the storyline in this book. So many people are afraid to take a chance on love after being hurt in another relationship. Cinnamon and Silas took the time it takes to develop a solid foundation for them as well as Cinnamon’s house. Cannot wait to read Mac’s story to finish this wholesome series.
This series is heartwarming and inspiring.
The plot is full of emotions and twists so that you can’t put it down.
The characters are so real and delightful that they become my friends.
I’m sad there’s only 1 more in the series. I hope it connects them all, especially the part of what they plan/do for their crew. Or maybe even 1 more book with the future updates on each of the girls and their families. I love the sisterhood connection is amazing, their caring, supportive, even the teasing is so sweet.
Their issue/trials are real life as well as how we react to them. Glad we have “family” to help us step by step.
Looking forward to Mac’s story next.
Cinnamon’s Courageous Heart is a sweet romance. Cinnamon’s ex had really done a number on her – but it led to a new song. Then she hires Silas to remodel her farmhouse – the remodel her brother messed up. Cinnamon and Derek are great characters. Cinnamon will have to learn to trust again if she wants to fate Silas. There are several ups and downs in their path. This wonderful book had my attention from the first chapter. If you like to read clean romance where characters get past their hurts, this is a good book for you.
I enjoyed this really sweet romance. I loved Cinnamon and Silas and I thought that they made an amazing couple. The story was very moving and I could not help falling for this talented woman with a wounded heart and the wonderful man that was eager and able to help her heal. The story was easy to get into and I felt the way that these two were brought together was clever simply because it was so realistic. A simply wonderful read that delivers lots of feels.
Watching HDTV will not help you in home renovation, Cinnamon learned hard way, when her brother promised that he can renovate her home. She needed professional contractor and this is where Silas comes.
Great story, wonderful characters.
A good clean continuation of the country music romance series. Cinnamon has gone through a bad relationship and is very distrusting. Silas, her construction contractor, falls for her at first sight and must fight for her and her trust issue. Will he be able to break through the wall she has built up?
Cinnamon’s heart has been shattered into pieces for her ex-boyfriend. When she meets Silas, the man responsible for redoing her old house, an spark flame between them. Can Silas show Cinnamon that not all men are the same? Can Cinnamon open her heart to love again?
Good story but she ignored a major plot point regarding one of the characters from the previous book that would certainly affect her actions in this one.
But the main story was well done. The misunderstanding and recovery from it handled well.
This series has been so much more than just a female band dealing with life on the road to make their careers better. This has been about starting over and building better lives for themselves and their families, learning to trust again after having your heart and lives broken, having new loves come into your lives and building those new relationships even when obstacles get in the way. Each of these books have made me smile, laugh, cry and rejoice these ladies as they grow and become better people. Get your copies today and enjoy these beautiful stories they tell us and teach us.
The story of Cinnamon and Silas and 5th book in the series. All are stand alones but I liked some better than others. This is well written and progresses slow enough to make believable. Silas is the contractor working on her farmhouse. He has to work through the heartache and walls she built up from a previous relationship.
Love, Love Love this series. I can’t say enough. It’s good clean read. Love how all their lives tie together and they have such a “sisterhood”. Can’t wait until the next one!
I received an advanced ebook and I am voluntarily leaving my review.
This is a part of a series about six members of a country band. Cinnamon needs a remodeler for her farmhouse. Silas was just what she needed or maybe even more than she wanted. Just beginning a headlining tour with the Lipstick Outlaws she isn’t looking for a relationship. She was hurt really bad and vowed not to date. Silas edges his way in. But can he win her trust.
A great read but make sure you read the others too.
Another great story for the series
It was a joy to read. A wonderful, well written story with great characters and good story line.
Highly recommend.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I want to move into Cinnamon’s house. Silas definitely understood her vision. Ryan Jo Summers has given us the perfect amount of romance, misunderstanding and tension. You have to wonder since many of their big hits are based on bad experiences with men, will the Lipstick Outlaws have a problem writing new music as they find their happily ever afters? I enjoyed this book.
I really like this series and this book about Cinnamon Chadwick did not disappoint me. I do not think I have read any books by Ryan Jo Summers before but I will now. I loved Cinnamon’s character. She comes across as strong, brave, and nothing can bother her but she is trying to protect her fragile, broken heart.
I liked her love for her horse and her cat and how she got along with the other band members and Madison. What I really liked was her relationship with Silas Black, her new contractor to fix her house after her brother got in over his head trying to do the work himself by watching HGTV.
Silas was charming, sexy, romantic and very down to earth. I liked how he tried to understand Cinnamon and how she had been hurt and he tried to get her to trust him and fall for him. This was a great story. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.
The fifth book in the series and one of the most romantic. The characters are memorable and believable.
Wonderful story that has you hoping it happens to you. Amazing characters that was added to this book. Loved it
