If I had one complaint about Taming the Country Star: A Hometown Heroes Novella by Margo Bond Collins, it would be that it is just too short.  After I read Legally Undead by Ms. Collins, I pretty much knew that I would love anything she writes.  And she proved me right with this little book.  I just loved it.  Even though it is short, I was drawn in and completely fell in love with the two main characters.You could say that Kylie Andrews has trust issues.  Her Daddy was a rodeo star and lived the high life.  Which included being photographed in the tabloids numerous times with various other women.  Eventually he abandoned Kylie and her Mom and Kylie knew that if she ever married, it would be someone safe and stable, the complete opposite of her father.  That didn’t work out so well either, though.  She was supposed to marry her childhood sweetheart but was left at the altar.  She decided to take her honeymoon by herself and it is there she met the handsome Cole, no last name, and had a sexy, romantic, time with him.  It wasn’t until she was at the airport on the way home that she spied her own photo, kissing Cole, in a tabloid magazine.  She then realized the true identity of the man she just spent the last few days with.  It was Cole Grayson, the huge country music star!A year has passed since Cole Grayson met Kylie on that beach in Mexico.  And a day hasn’t gone by that he didn’t think of her.  He is doing a concert in Fort Worth, where Kylie lives and  has a little shop, and he is determined to find her.  But will she give him a second chance now that she knows who he really is?“There were plenty of women who wouldn’t walk away, who would love the flashy life he could offer.  But Cole didn’t want any of those women.  He wanted Kylie.”Kylie’s best friend convinces her to go to Cole’s concert with her.  She was given free front row tickets.  But what happens when Cole spots her there and their eyes meet?“She could lose herself with him, or find herself.”This is a story of getting a second chance at love.  A story of not letting the circumstances of your past dictate the potential for your future happiness.  This is a story of taking a chance, and falling in love.“So this is what love feels like.”
