You’re never too old to fall in love with a rock star. Or chase your dreams. Every girl dreams of dating a rock star–even a girl who just turned the Big 4-0. Is it the beard? The flannel? The guitar? Claire isn’t sure, but Jack is simply irresistible. Music was Jack’s first love. When life got in the way of him making it big as a singer/songwriter, he settled for teaching music–which included … teaching music–which included giving piano lessons to a certain stunning redhead named Claire.
He’s fallen head over heels for her–just in time for his big break to finally arrive. But do you ever really give up on your first love?

This is really a wonderful read! The story has its ups and downs. But really towards the end….I couldn’t put it down. Those words he wrote are worth tearing up over. The characters we have met almost all of them previously (if you read Fat Girl). This story made me like Claire, Jack and Anita more. Each showed great growth in their character. I enjoyed how not every thought of Claire was self doubt on her looks, thoughts or actions. It was nice plus she got some backbone. Jack went from a sexy man beast to an unrecognizable Star. For Anita? She surprised me the most and I have to say I loved all the Darth Vader references to her.
Overall this is a story I read really quickly. It has a nice flow and the plight of the characters kept me reading. Jacks song’s were great but even more because he wrote them for Claire. I didn’t realize he had that in him. Very Enjoyable!
Music Man: A Single Dad Rock Star is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L Montgomery. The cover art is not what I envision with the book, and was originally hesitant to read it, but the description captured me. I am so glad I took the risk because I LOVED this book and Montgomery’s style of writing. Her characters are wonderful. At times she talks to the reader. And the story was funny, suspenseful, emotional. I read it in 2 sittings, staying up hours past my bedtime to finish! I look forward to more in the series (there are SEVEN, whooo), and will go back and read the prequel, Fat Girl. That being said, you don’t need to read the prequel to love this book. Promise. Read it. you won’t regret it.
Music Man: A Single Dad Rock Star Romantic Comedy (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery. This author knows how to keep me coming back for more and I always glad I do. Once again I was completely hooked from start to finish with Jack and Claire’s story. These characters draw you into their world and you forget you’re reading a book heck I forgot what time or day it was. Their chemistry jumps off the pages. Each character brings something different to the storyline and will have you trying to both read as fast as possible and slow down and make it last. Once again I find myself lost without these characters now but I’ll definitely be reading them and and of course the rest of this series. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

4 of 5 Stars
Music Man is a single Dad rock star romantic comedy and is a fun and enjoyable read. Book one in a new series by K.L. Montgomery, each book in the ‘Romance in Rehoboth’ series is a standalone story set in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. “You’re never too old to fall in love with a rock star. Or chase your dreams”. Claire has just turned 40 and fallen in love with Jack, a want to be, rock star. Claire’s not sure if it’s his guitar, his beard or the flannel he wears but she finds Jack utterly irresistible. Music has always been Jacks first love but having failed to make it big as a singer and songwriter he turned to teaching music instead. When he starts teaching piano to Claire, he finds himself falling for the stunning read head. Then just as they start a relationship Jack’s big break comes and he has a chance to become a rock star and fulfil his first love.
I enjoyed this romantic comedy, Claire is an independent and strong female lead character and Jack is essentially a nice guy. I like the fact that Montgomery has written a romance novel where the main characters are over 40, rather than the younger norm. The storyline flowed nicely and I was fully immersed in Claire and Jack’s love story and loved the setting of Delaware’s top vacation destination. I look forward to reading other books in this series.
K.L. Montgomery always has the best plot lines and characters. I am never disappointed when I pick up her books. Her characters are complex and many layers go into their personas. They are so real and I personally feel like I am in the story with them.The plot line is one that could happen in everyday life. To be honest that is one reason why I love reading K.L. Montgomery’s books. Who can honestly say that they did not fall for a music man? Even if it was just a crush. Jack’s story is just that. He is a musician man but also a single dad. Claire is that girl. She just had a milestone birthday and has fallen for her “Music Man”. What will become of the relationship with Jack and Claire? I highly recommend you reading this story to find out.
Montgomery is a must read. Every. Single. Time. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Rehoboth series and this latest installment definitely didn’t disappoint. The perfect combination of wit, laughter, and romance – this book and series has it all. Loved every page and you will too.
Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) by K.L. Montgomery was a deep and real read. I loved the story and enjoyed the characters because they felt more like people and friends than characters in a book. I struggled to put the book there was something in the writing that just pulled me. I loved that there were pieces of inner monologue that felt like they were breaking the fourth wall. I enjoyed the journey and especially since I know I could never carry a tune to save my life.
Music Man is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L. Montgomery. This book portrays Claire and Jack’s story in a very romantic but comical way. Claire has just turned 40, a momentous occasion in any woman’s life, and now finds herself falling in love with a rockstar. But you can’t really blame her, with Jack’s passion for music and his rockstar look, who wouldn’t fall for him. Then there is his relationship with his daughter Mariana, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him myself. I found myself rooting for Claire and Jack as they faced bumps along their road of a relationship. The author did a wonderful job describing each character and making the overall storyline flow. I look forward to reading the other books in this series.

Music Man was yet again another wonderful read from this author! I always fall in love with her stories so easily because they just feel so real. The characters are easy to connect with and Ms Montgomery writes about them in such a way that they do come alive on the page. I loved the characters Jack and Claire, they were relatable and I was really rooting for them the whole way through. I love reading about older characters, it definitely makes them more relatable to me as a reader. I really loved Claire! I thought she was an awesome character; one of those that you really wish was real because you just know they would make an awesome friend! The inner dialogue really made me feel like I knew her personally!
Music Man was a fantastic read and I 100% recommend it! I cannot wait to read more from this series!
Music Man is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L. Montgomery. This is a series of stand-alone romance novels set in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Montgomery is an author I have read before, in fact I have read one of the other books in this series. I have thoroughly enjoyed the other books I have read by her and had high hopes for this one. I was not disappointed.
This book is slightly different from many romance novels in that that our hero and heroine, Jack and Claire are already a couple. This book explores some of the difficulties that couples can face when one tries to follow their dream.
Jack is a music teacher and enters a music competition (urged by Claire to do so) and is stunned when he wins. This leads to further competitions and then to him going on tour with some of the other contestants. This is what he’s always wanted to do. It’s his dream…or is it?
Jack soon discovers that being away from his beloved girlfriend Claire and his adorable daughter is much harder then he though. Added to that, those running the tour are trying to make it look as if he’s having a relationship with one of the other artists. This puts a massive strain on his relationship.
I really enjoyed reading this story. It flows really well and the characters are great. It has the addition of some really great secondary characters that add so much to the story. I enjoyed reading as Jack participated in the competitions, his excitement and nerves.
All in all, this is a really sweet romance story with great characters that provides a very enjoyable read.
Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) by K.L. Montgomery. I LOVE K.L. Montgomery so any book she has I grab. This one is no different. This is a great series and this is the first book. Its about a lady named Claire who has just turned the big 40. Jack is a singer/songwriter who after life changes direction he decides to teach music. He has always loved music more than anything.

They both hit it off and are having a great time learning about each other and falling in love. When Claire talks Jack into entering a contest things change. Will he choose to follow his forever dream even if it means losing Claire? Read Music Man to find out! I love this series and this book is one of the best.

4 Stars!!!!
I am so bad at reading series out of order and once again I have done it. I have read most of this series but hadn’t read the first one and I was not let down. It was nice to read the start.
I really found the chemistry between Jack and Claire to be hot. The way that the music plays such a big part really adds to the story. I like how the author has such a refreshing style. The characters just pop right off the page and come to life. I felt as though I was right there with them as the story progressed. I just couldn’t put the book down. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
Music Man by K.L. Montgomery is book one of the Romance in Rehoboth series. This book is a standalone and the series can be read in any order. I haven’t read the series in any particular order and I haven’t missed anything.
This book is Jack and Claire’s story. Jack has always dreamed of making it big in the music industry. Sometimes things don’t always work out to plan which is how Jack ends up teaching music and meeting Claire. There is an instant connection between the two and things progress naturally between them. Claire encourages Jack not to give up on his dream and as unlikely as it may seem, Jack gets a second chance at it. With Jack’s dream job on the table, what will the future look like for the two of them?
This was such a fun, sweet story to read. I’ve read other books in the series and each book has its own feel making it such an enjoyable read!

Music Man: A Single Dad Rock Star Romantic Comedy is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series by K.L. Montgomery. Ms. Montgomery is one of my go to authors. It amazes me how she can pull these characters and make me feel like I’m right there with them dealing with life’s everyday problems. Jack and Claire’s story is full of emotions and it gave me all the feels. I really relate to Claire’s character, she makes me happy. I feel like I could be her. If you like Sweet Romance with a little Steam, this is a great book for you. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
I loved this book. It was such a great start to a new series by an author I’ve liked for a while now. It was well written and I couldn’t put it down. The characters are what made this book amazing and I couldn’t get enough of them and I was rooting for a HEA throughout the whole book. I cannot wait to read more by this author and I would recommend this to anyone that loves Romance!
Happy reading!
Music Man by K.L. Montgomery is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. Jack and Claire’s story was sweet romantic and proof that you can fall in love at any age and fulfill your dreams. But will that dream get in the way of falling in love?
K.L. Montgomery knows how to write great characters, in a way that you can see yourself being friends with this group. I have only read a few of this author’s books but she has me looking forward to whatever she writes next.
Music Man by K.L. Montgomery a five-star read that is like music to your ears. This is number one in the Romance in Rehoboth series and what a start, I am in love already, I have read the rest of the series and gone back to the start for this one and can attest that they can be read as standalone as they set in the same amazing place with some interacting characters but not in each other’s pockets, best of all worlds. This brings to us what I have come to love from this author and realness and a harsh look at life as it really is, but with a heart warming spin that sows us that just because there are wicked people in the world doesn’t mean deep down we have to join them, and just because you see the pretty outside doesn’t mean you see pretty inside and vice-versa, I love how the author shows us that side of life. I simply adored Claire as she has this amazing inner monologue that just made me relate to her infinity. Do not miss this story as it will bring music to your life.

Music Man is the first book in the ‘Romance in Rehoboth’ series by K.L Montgomery. It is a really fun and very enjoyable romantic comedy. Romance in Rehoboth is a series of standalone stories where each book centres on its own particular character/couple. The stories differ in their storyline, feel, and tone- but they all are set against the backdrop of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. I have read all the books in the series so far, and highly recommend them as they are wonderful stories and well worth the read!
We meet Jack and Claire and follow along as their story unfolds.
Jack dreamed of making it big in the music industry. But things didn’t go quite according to plan and he ended up teaching music instead. Then he meets Claire, who arrives for lessons. There is an attraction and instant connection between them that draws them together. Things are going really well. But when Claire encourages Jack to enter a contest, things take a different turn as Jack gets another chance to follow his dreams. What will the future hold for these two? Can they juggle a relationship and family, as well as a demanding career? Will their love survive?
As I have said many times before, I think Ms. Montgomery is a gifted storyteller, easily pulling her readers into her story and keeping us connected and hooked from beginning to end. I love how her story depicts characters that are realistic, believable and completely relatable.
As with all her other books, this is really well written, entirely captivating, and was a really fun read. I can’t wait to see what she does next!
Thank you, Ms. Montgomery!

Music Man: A Single Dad Rock Star Romantic Comedy (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1)
by K.L. Montgomery
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Claire and Jack are wonderful characters that you just can’t help but want to root for. Claire is a very strong and independent woman who speaks her mind. Jack is a music teacher that once had dreams of being a rock star, now those dreams might be coming true. They have fallen in love but are they ready for all that comes with Jack’s dream possibly coming true? This is not the first book I have read by this author so I knew this would be a wonderful story and I’m glad to see I was right. I found myself laughing, feeling disappointed, and sad and all things in between. There are also some other really great characters in this story you will love. I highly recommend this book.
