I put off reading this book and now I'm really not sure why. I think the whole South Beach & country music part struck me as odd and put me off it at first. Once I actually started reading I liked it. To me this is more of a novella, and I would have loved to have read this as a full length novel.Lacey has been the screw up her whole life. First as a rebellious teenager, and then believing a "lying, cheating ex" who also left her in a lot of debt. The reason I use the quotation marks is because we never actually got the story with her ex. She's starting over with her dream of running her own cafe. She desperately needs investors and hires the country singer she had a crush on in college.Billy, has a tragic past. The trauma came just as he was realizing his dream. He lived the stereotypical star lifestyle. Everything was going well (or so he thought) until his ex betrayed him. He lost his career, and got a 10 year long case of writers block. In an effort to jump start his career again, his manager Chip books him for the opening of Lacey's Cafe.The story follows them as they try to realize their dreams, or what they thought were their dreams.
