I love Molly Harper. And have read her two paranormal series'. Her Bluegrass series is what I lovingly call just plain Chick Lit. Great love stories, very funny, with characters that are a great combination of lovable and odd ball.Bonnie Turkle is the historian for the Kentucky Commission of Tourism. She has been dispatched to the small Eastern Kentucky town of Mud Creek, to catalog and inventory historical items from McBride's Music Hall before it is torn down to make room for a new factory.McBride's Music Hall was one of the first venues of the early American music scene. Showcasing country acts as well as some rhythm and blues. Now it has fallen into disrepair. Abandoned by the McBride family after the death of the owner.Will McBride is that owner's son, he also happens to be the new mayor of the town. Bonnie has never met a mayor quite like Will. He's young, tall, handsome with adorable blue eyes. No mayor should be that sexy. And the last thing he wants is anything to do with the music hall. As far as he's concerned it can be bulldozed, and trashed.But what Bonnie finds while cleaning out the old hall, may put everything on hold, including the new factory that the town desperately needs to jump start their economy and provide much needed jobs for the struggling community. Bonnie has found hand written notes for the first lyrics of an extremely famous country love song. Now the music hall is going to be proclaimed an historical site, and made into a museum. Putting the new factory on hold. And making Bonnie a very unpopular person in town. Especially to the new mayor who was starting to take a personal liking to Bonnie. Now he just wants her out of their town.I was a bit confused while reading this book. I loved the story, and the characters, but after reading the first book in the series, My Bluegrass Baby, it almost feels like this should have been book number one. Events in the first book, according to this story haven't happened yet. They seem to be out of order. But looking past that, it was a great book.
