| Description from Publisher: | |
| Natalie’s world is shaken to its core when she discovers an old photo of a woman who looks like her. Could this woman be related to her birth mother, who put Natalie up for adoption as a baby? When she tracks down the person who dumped the photo album at her thrift shop, she’s shaken again. Especially when the gorgeous fire-fighting guitarist offers to help her find the owner. They quickly become friends – which is all they’ll be, as far as Natalie’s concerned. Her rebellious youth turned her off cheating men, and the new Natalie is looking for true love and a family of her own – something Casey isn’t willing to provide. But how long can Natalie ignore her undeniable attraction to the man with the Irish accent and the broken-down ’57 Chevy?
In Chelsey Krause’s second novel, friends become lovers over a whirlwind summer of rockabilly rhythms, twirling skirts, and a mystery that takes them hilariously far out of their element. | |

I liked this a lot. It was funny, and interesting, and Casey and Natalie were both very endearing characters. The mystery of Natalie's mom wasn't overpowering, but still present enough. I enjoyed the friendship between Nat and Casey and how it built up in a very natural way. I got hints of attraction, but the chemistry took a backseat to a more casual bond of friendship. In fact, the romance took a backseat to Nat's personal development, which was really the star of this. The rockabilly aspect was a charming addition to the story and I enjoyed all of the references. I enjoyed the nerdy references too ("Winter is Coming"). The situations Nat encountered along the way were so varied, it was a really fun adventure. There is a shroud of mystery and suspense that I really liked to it all. | |
| I received a digital ARC from the publisher for an honest, unbiased review. This in no way influenced my review. My opinion is my 100% own. | |
