Rachael Herron seamlessly blends romance, friendship, and laughter. Barbara Bretton, USA Today Bestselling Author From international bestseller Rachael Herron, comes a book too delightful to put down:The saloon had always looked old-fashioned, but now it resembled a set in a ghost town. The problem was that Adele wasn’t in an old western, or a ghost town. Darling Bay was the sleepy gold-rush … in an old western, or a ghost town. Darling Bay was the sleepy gold-rush town her great-grandfather had given his name to.
The town she’d left for good a long time ago.
The building is a ruin, the business is broke and customers are scarce. Add into the mix Nate Houston – the handsome, guitar-playing bartender who had always believed he would be the next owner – and Adele has one potent cocktail on her hands.
Can a rundown saloon in a sleepy town finally offer Adele a way into love?

I loved immersing myself in this book! Ms. Herron is terrific at crafting believable worlds and characters with complex emotional lives.
I’m a big fan of her Cypress Hollow series, so it was especially fun to escape into a new place she’s created. I really enjoyed the former country star twist, the extended cast of side characters, and the heat between the MCs! Looking forward to the sisters’ HEAs, for sure!
Enjoyed the entire trilogy
Niece of deceased bar owner decides to keep the bar instead of selling to bartender.
Some friction occurs when they fall in love, but all works out for the best. A
Cliffhanger.
Enjoyable series.
A different backdrop and story line. Interesting.
This is not my usual read lately. I am alwayslookingfor new stories to hear. I am so glad I did. I enjoyed the style and character’s. It’s was worth the down time just to unwind and let others cares and worry and joy remind you that life happens. This is an author whom is now on my list. Thanks I love good books. This wS nice.
The exceptional character development was what made this book so readable. The reader was drawn into the story because the characters were so believable. They experienced trials, heartaches, forgiveness and joys as every reader has experienced, also.
Pretty well written.
The storyline on this dragged along. female character was at times silly, not a fan
Want to read more of her books,
I did not like the female lead character initially or in the middle. She ruined her relationship with her sisters and never had figured it out. She was horrible to the person who had been so wonderful to her Uncle. She was not a likeable person. She does become likeable near the end.
The male lead was in serious need of Al-Anon. Major rescuer … not sure he ever figures out he is an enabler.
Not steamy until 3/4ths of the way through and then pretty steamy on about 3 occassions.
Major issue with her income. It opens with her being a very successful country music songwriter. But, suddenly she is broke and evicted. That is never explained.
I loved this and can’t wait to read the rest in the series.
Such a good book that it made me want to read the next in the series, The Songbird’s Call. Just downloaded it! Thank you Rachael Herron! Good job!!!
Just didn’t think it flowed very well. I know flashbacks are done all the time but I couldn’t get into the idea of someone wanting a broken down near bankrupt property.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Easy, fast reading
I totally enjoyed this book. The characters were real, and all dealt with their own problems. There was a bit too much sadness in their backgrounds, but everyone struggled to change their lives for the better. Original story-line.
Herron’s character’s are always so richly drawn that I quickly find myself invested in their happiness. The Darling Songbirds is no exception in this heartfelt romance. A great escape!
Loved it.
Plot was a bit of a stretch but entertaining non the less.
