By K.L. Montgomery
5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the story Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) by K.L. Montgomery. It is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Jack and Claire. Jack’s first love has always been music. Life got in the way of him making a big splash in the music world and he finds himself teaching music. What will Jack do if he is given a second shot at his first love? Claire is sassy, strong, and independent. She has fallen for Jack. She finds Jack irresistible. What does the future hold for Jack and Claire? Will Jack’s dream finally happen? Read this book to find out. This story has lighthearted moments that made me laugh and other moments when situations would happen that made me wonder how everything was going to work out. I found myself rooting for Jack and Claire and wanted them to be happy. Other characters interact with Jack and Claire and are enjoyable to read about. This is a book that has moments that touch and warm your heart. It is a story that you don’t want to miss out on. I highly recommend it.
Gorgeous cover (check), curvy main character (check), 40 (check)… I loved this book before I even cracked the cover! I can’t wait to read more in this series!
Music Man is another great read from KL Montgomery. She is an amazing author who you cannot help but love all her books. This was no different. This is book one of a fantastic series and boxset. You will fall in love with her writing style and her characters. For once, these characters are ones you can relate to. Jack is a music teacher who always loved music and Claire is an awesome partner for him. This book will leave you wanting more and once you read this you will be addicted to this author.
So incredibly sweet! The Music Man is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth Series by K.L. Montgomery. This story follows Jack and his daughter Mariana. Jack wants to be a rock star and make it big. Well, things didn’t go as planned. He is still extremely in love with music. But because he can’t pursue his music at the time he does the next best thing, which is to teach. This story also follows Claire. Claire decides that she wants to take piano lessons. So when Claire shows up to start her lessons, sparks start to fly. But, Claire is determined to learn how to play the piano. This really is a cute book with lots of funny scenes. It was a great way to start a series that’s for sure!
Music Man is the first book in the ‘Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L Montgomery. This is a single dad rock star comedy that I absolutely loved! I had trouble putting it down, it follows the lives of 2 single parents, Claire and Jack. The two characters fall in love throughout the book but when Jack gets his break can they make it work? This is a book that will pull you in and won’t let you go until the last page. Loved it!
This hits home for a lot of people. You hit 40 and feel like your world stops. At least that’s how Claire felt. But Jack doesn’t see it that way. Hot!
Music Man follows two people one thinking his dream had gone forever and a woman who’s reacting a big birthday and wondering if there is more too life. Add these two characters together and you get a beautiful story. Claire is learning to play the piano from Jack who has always had a dream of becoming a singer/songwriter so when Claire convinces him to enter a local competition will he have another shot at this dream. This is a lovely heart warming story and you will fall in love with these two characters instantly.
I love this author, KL Montgomery writes characters with flaws but this I thinks just makes you love them a little bit more than others. The stories are well written and engage you from the beginning, the way they are written you believe these powerful woman could be friends and you are invested in them to find happiness.
I really enjoyed Music Man, the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series! One of the more unique things I enjoyed was the timing of the beginning of the story. Instead of it starting before the two characters meet each other, you enter when they are still fairly new, but been together for about six months. I was a little skeptical at first, but it really allowed the author to take the story a step farther.
Jack Reilly is a high school band teacher. He has a young daughter he doesn’t get too see much and is currently exploring large with your heroine, Claire Sterling. When she dates him to entera small singing competion aft the restaurant they were dining at, who knew their lives would change forever.
Claire is a writer, working on a self help book and had a column in The New York Times. She had a teenage son and some crazy neighbors.
I quickly adored the chatacters in this story. Some were quirky, some you didn’t like at first, and some you didn’t like at all. The wonderful writing helped with that! Great job with this story! It had all the feels and I couldn’t put it down!
Who doesn’t like a rock n roll romance to start an epic series of stories. I cannot remember a time when I felt so many contrasting emotions while reading a book. Each character had many admiring qualities that were addictive and bewitching. Strength, tenacity, loyalty, passion, independence, compassion and understanding. I laughed, cried and ranted. Jack and Claire were a beguiling couple that endlessly amazed and impressed me. I never wanted it to end.
Music Man: A Single Dad Rock Star Romantic Comedy (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery
I think I liked this book more than when Jack and Claire met. Maybe it was the familiarity with the characters or maybe the way the characters had evolved, not sure which. I was up way later than I should have been because I couldn’t put the book down.
I was able to feel Jack’s emotions as he was figuring this musician thing. The nerves, excitement, loneliness and exhilaration. They were conveyed perfectly.
Claire is amazing. I liked her well enough in their book, but I fell in love with her in this book. She did so much to encourage Jack to follow his dreams and was willing to take on more than she ever could have anticipated.
I have yet to get disappointed with anything I have read by Ms. Montgomery and will continue to seek her out.
Music Man by K.L. Montgomery is book number 1 in the Romance in Rehoboth series. This is the second or third book that I have read from this author and I have yet to be disappointed. This is a charming romance novel about 2 single parents trying to make things work between them while following their dreams. The point of view in this story goes between the 2 main characters: Claire Sterling and Jack Riley. Claire is a single mom to a teenage book, an author, and just an all over amazing woman. Jack is a single father to a young girl, band teacher, and a wannabe rock star. I love the personalities of each of the characters, especially Claire. She is spunky and fun and just someone that I’d like to be my best friend. I enjoyed reading this book, its perfect for a weekend read. My only complaint, is I wish that there was more build up and introductions to the characters in the beginning of the book. However, I was able to gather what I needed throughout the book. I think that Montgomery is a talented author who paints beautiful and captivating stories. I will be reading more from this series.
I’m a huge fan of K.L. Montgomery and a massive fan of this series! Miss Montgomery has a way of writing stories that are completely different from anything that you’ll find out there in the book world. This couple is definitely different. They are already together but the face issues that can put pressure on their relationship. Jack wins a music competition that his girlfriend, Claire urged him to do. He goes on tour and the pressure begin when the pressure of his dream begins as well as the people in-charge of the tour suggest he’s dating another contestant.
This book was written flawlessly and, as always, so different from anything out there. this is definitely a one-click read!
I’ve read various books from this author and its been a while so I was glad I got my hands on this read! Music Man is Book #1 in a new series and I can’t believe I waited to read more books by this author!
This book had me hooked from the very beginning, it was fun, it had Laugh out Loud Moments and it had romance what more could you want! This author has an amazing way with words and in doing so creates a storyline that is brilliant and characters that are relatable, lovable and you really connect with them and can’t wait to find out more of their journey.
I loved that Fat Girl wasn’t the end of Claire’s journey and we got more of her story in this read, and boy I wasn’t disappointed, I loved reading about her developing connection to Jack but would his dreams get in the way of their HEA?!
I’m so glad I read this read, and can’t wait for more to come in this series. I highly recommend this read and all other reads by this author!

Music man by K.L. Montgomery was a great read it’s a book that pulled me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Jack and Claire even when I first met them in Fat Girl. Music Man is about chasing your dreams and second chances. I just simply loved it. The characters are great, and the plot was amazing and different.
Claire dares Jack to audition for Benefiting the support art foundations and he wins now so now he must leave Claire for six weeks. What could happen in six weeks? What will happen to Jack and Claire when the six weeks are up will Jack choose his first love music or Claire? Can Claire compete with all this hype and does she really want too?
You will need to read this amazing story to find out. I highly recommend this story….

Romantic Comedy
(Romance in Rehoboth
Book 1)
By K.L. Montgomery
What can I say about this book? It’s a full length Romantic Comedy with a twist of Rock Star. This book can be a standalone. Although I don’t think it will be for many people.
Jack loves his music. Sense he can follow his dream at the moment, he settles for the next best thing. Teaching Music! But let’s not forget that little cutie Mariana, Jack’s daughter. The two have a special bond, one of love and for Jack’s dedication.
Claire has the gumption to get it done. She is also strong in her conviction. If she decides on something, she follows through. Learning to play the piano. Is really where she wants to be. Feelings are shared and this story is off and running.
K.L. Montgomery is a fabulous writer! The Jack and Claire story is just one example. Her characters are just everyday people, making the best out of life. The women are strong and not whiny, the men are real people. I love this story and can’t wait to read the series. I have read many of K.L. Montgomery ‘ s books and find this series is becoming my “Can’t wait for the next one” series to go after.
Okay so firstly I’m a huge sucker for a novel which has a storyline with music involved it is my absolute favourite! Well this story definitely didn’t disappoint at all I was hooked lined and sinker when it came to reading this book i was just eager to read the novel without stopping. I have read many books from this author so I know even before starting this that I would fall in love with it and boy was I right it was an excellent read and I can’t wait to read more!!
Music Man is the first book in K.L. Montgomery’s Romance in Rehoboth series. The books work as standalones (I’ve definitely been reading them in the wrong order…) but they share a setting and characters pop up in each other’s books which is a fun way to get to know them and give their stories more depth.
Music Man focuses on the relationship between Jack, a music teacher and performer, and Claire, an author. Both have been married before, and have children from their previous relationships. They’re ready for a new, serious relationship, but Jack also has his performance career which is just starting to take off to worry about.
This is an enjoyable read. It’s nice to have a romance with more mature characters, who have all the messiness of their previous marriages to deal with and who already have children in their lives. As a music teacher myself, I particularly enjoyed having a character who is a musician. Jack’s experiences felt very familiar and relatable.
For me, this is a five-star book. It’s romantic and heart-warming, and made me laugh! I’d recommend this series to fans of romance novels who like characters with depth and stories that explore friendships and familial relationships as well as romantic ones.
I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. I love a good rock star story but this book exceeded all my expectations. This is the first book in the Rehoboth series and wow what a perfect start. I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I could not put this book down. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story.
Claire is turning the big 4-0 and she is not afraid. She has her new Rockstar boyfriend. Claire is a well known author but she can’t get into her writing. When she sees a singing contest she enters Jack into it. Claire is so excited for him to live his dream. She is in complete shock when Jack goes on a small tour. Claire quickly realizes that Jack is changing but is it his choice? Will Claire’s choice backfire and break them apart or will it make them even more close?

5 +++ Stars
We met Claire in Fat Girl, I loved that book and now we move forward with the rest of her story and I loved loved loved it!!!
I have already read most of this series and loved when this one popped up as the first, I was afraid it would be hard to go back to the beginning but that worry was for nothing. I think what I love about this series the most is the friendships and the family feeling that is weaved through many of the books. The characters flutter in and out of all the books but they all can be read as standalones. This is a good thing because I have read them out of order. Claire is a person I completely identify with and feel like alot of her thoughts and words were stolen out of my own mind.
I cried more than once during this story, I laughed out loud even more while reading, and I wanted to transport myself into my kindle and totally slap people upside the head. It will touch just about every feeling with a name and then some that Ive never felt before.
Pick this up and then grab the rest, you will love them all! This author is absolutely an auto one click for me and sits in my top 3 of all time.
Loved this and now want to go read all the rest all over again 🙂
I don’t think this author has ever written a bad story. I will read anything and everything she ever writes.
This is a series of standalones, but I love the whole series so read them all.
I have to say, I love that all the women aren’t weak and helpless and are actually strong and speak their minds. Claire, I loved her so much! Her inner dialogue made this story so great.
And Jack, I love all the guys in this series. Seriously i cannot recommend this book, series, author enough. You will find something for every type of reader in these.
