When six musicians come together to form an all-girl country band, The Sweethearts of Country Music are born. But can they balance their musical worlds with their personal lives?Lead singer, Katie Lyn Bishop, is ready for her first holiday in her new home in Nashville and she can’t wait to spend it with her three-year-old daughter, Madison. Unfortunately, her ex-husband, Trevor shows up after a … Trevor shows up after a four-year absence, suing for custody of their daughter, not to mention a hefty chunk of Katie Lyn’s profits.
The band’s attorney, Alec O’Donnell, assures her that’s not going to happen. But Alec’s interest is more than professional. He and Katie Lyn have a past—and there are skeletons in his closet that are best left in the dark. As he goes to battle against her ex, he worries his personal feelings will interfere with protecting her in court—and that if she finds out the truth, it could ruin everything.
Swirling rumors have the media targeting Katie Lyn wanting answers. Can Alec protect her? Will the secrets destroy not only her relationship with Alec, but the entire safety nest she’s built for her and Madison? Or is Alec exactly what she needs to truly make her new house a home?
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.

I don’t even know where to begin with this one, except to say I could not put it down. I finished it in two sittings (work got in the way or it would have been one sitting haha). Marie Savage quickly became a favorite author of mine last year and this book did not disappoint. I love Katie Lyn’s relationship with her mama and her little girl! I found myself intrigued by the story and on edge a few times waiting to see what would happen. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the Sweethearts of Country Music series and I hope I find new authors I love.
Fantastic read!! Full of surprises!!! Fun to read.
I loved this sweet, emotional read. Katie Lyn and Alex’s romance captured my heart and every bit of my attention. I thought that both these characters were very likable. Katie Lyn was a unique heroine. I thought she was amazing and I was so happy to see her get her HEA because she really deserved it. As for Alex, I felt he was a really good guy. I just wish he could have been more open with Katie Lyn from the start. In spite of this, I really liked this two as a couple. Simply a very enjoyable romance.
A beautiful fairy tale romance filled with surprises, love, heartache, and a wicked ex-husband, heartfelt tears, hope and joy. I really enjoyed book 4 in The Sweethearts of Country Music series about Katie Lynn Bishop and her daughter Madison.
The characters were so real and Katie Lynn’s and Lynette’s stories were so compelling and mirrored each other which added to the story and helped to make it come full circle. It was also nice to see Katie Lynn reunited with her father, Waylon and how romantic that Katie Lynn found her own Prince Charming in Alec or as her daughter said, Prince Charmin. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.
Marie Savage’s Novel “Katie Lyn’s Guarded Heart” was such a sweet and entertaining story. While Katie Lyn had a complicated past and emotional relationships the story was heartfelt and at times both intense and poignant.
Katie Lyn’s life was not easy but she overcame so much…….
Marie Savage is very talented at character development, you’d enjoy getting to know her characters.
I finished this book in one night and was pleasantly surprised with the ending.
I have read a number of her books and definitely recommend them.
I received this ARC from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I read this book without knowing a thing about it and LOVED IT!!! What an adorable read!!! Katie Lyn has had a difficult life and totally deserved her fairytale HEA!!!
I devoured this book so fast and now need to find the rest of this series!! Cant wait to read what happens to the rest of the Lipstick Outlaws!!
A fantastic addition to The Sweethearts of Country Music series. I loved Katie Lyn’s spirit! Well written, well edited, and inspirational. Highly recommend!
Katie Lyn was a strong girl raising her daughter Madison after her deadbeat husband walked out on her with their savings and her guitar. She’s found success with the Lipstick Outlaws and now he’s back trying to get some of her earnings and ride on her coattails by threatening to take Madison. From the moment he met her Alec was Prince Charming, getting her to hospital to have Madison, going above and beyond to get the costume that matched Katie Lyn’s and another one that made Ariel obsessed Madison happy, to always putting their needs first, and doing whatever he could to keep her selfish ex away from them. He was definitely one of the best guys. This was a sweet Cinderella-like rags to riches story where the heroine and her little girl get the prince.
Such a sweet story. Alec is a true romantic, patient, supportive and very loving. Katie Lyn is humble, well overdue for receiving the love of a good man. I like both characters & their story is such a heartwarming tearjerker. Very well written, realistic issues and inspiring. This is the one book I have ever read by this author and it is excellent.
Sweet funny down to earth story. Yes, their celebrities but they are also human. Marriage, birth of babies, divorce, court hearings, custody, estranged relationships, mended relationships, greed, friendships, family, engagement, family vacation, blending of families, n so much more.
