This Is Our Song

Samantha Chase. Sourcebooks Casablanca, $7.99 mass market (384p) ISBN 978-1-4926-1631-3

In Chase’s fourth Shaughnessy Brothers contemporary (after Always My Girl), a rock star gets his mojo back with the help of a sexy journalist. Riley Shaughnessy is having trouble finishing an album—his first solo project—and his record label has lost all patience. In return for extra time, he agrees to be interviewed for Rock the World magazine. Reporter Savannah Daly is not happy when her boss demands she take the assignment. She initially thinks Riley will be shallow and self-absorbed like all the other celebrities she’s encountered, but while spending a month in North Carolina with the lively and endearing Shaughnessys, she discovers his rock star image is all smoke and mirrors. He appreciates that she treats him like a “normal man,” and soon Savannah becomes Riley’s muse. Their connection strengthens, and he sees a future with her as long as they can get past the secret she doesn’t even realize she’s keeping. With seasoned characters, plenty of humor, and tastefully implied sex scenes (which will appeal to those who prefer less heat), Chase has crafted another successful love match that readers will embrace. Agent: Mark Gottlieb, Trident Media Group. (Dec.)
