Can a boy from the country and a guy from the city ever make it work?

Adam Chambers has never seen eye-to-eye with his father and is reluctant to take over the family’s property-development company.  To clear his head and work out what he wants to do with the rest of his life, Adam leaves his responsibilities in the city and heads out to see the country.

He isn’t much closer to deciding what to do with his life when he arrives at one of Australia’s largest events, the Tamworth Country Music Festival, and meets Joey Callaway.

Since Joey’s father’s tragic death left Joey the family’s debt-ridden pub, Joey has struggled, desperate to turn the business around and give his mum the life she deserves. A break away from the pressures of running the pub is just what he needs, and a hook-up with Adam is the perfect way to forget about his troubles.

The one-night stand might just be an opening act. If Adam and Joey can follow the music in their hearts, perhaps they can heal each other and create a melody that will last a lifetime.

Now and again I find a book that turns me into a big puddle of goo......this is one such book. Joey and Adam are completely adorable and their story is just lovely! [...] .I did lots of sighing reading this book. Feel good, heart melting romance with a capital R! (5 stars)

Sammy on The Novel Approach wrote:

The real beauty of this sweet love story is the incredible depth of characterization that takes place over the course of the novel. [...] Honest dialogue, some very sweet and hot sex, and strong female side characters who give sound advice to both men all combined to make Rustic Melody a lush story with a hard earned happy ever after. (4.5 stars)

Mari on Bike Book Reviews wrote:

... The story line is really interesting and keeps you wanting to read more. [...] Rustic Melody is a well written book ... about the importance of family, friends and more importantly about believing in love ... even when it is hidden in plain sight. (5 stars)

Dawn on Gay Media Reviews wrote:

... I really loved this story, as it was two people from different backgrounds. Both were at a crossroads in their lives, and until they met had no idea what to do. As this story finishes, you meet the MC for the next book, which I can't wait to read. (5 stars)

Kris on Joyfully Jay wrote:

... Overall, this is a really nice story. The characters grew and changed, fell in love and made it work, and went after their dreams. I liked that there was a theme of music woven throughout the whole tale. And there was a wonderful sense of place that I found charming. I’d encourage you to pick this one up if you’re looking for a lovely, sweet read. (4.25 stars)

𝘼 𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨…

Owen Hewitt thought he had weathered every storm life could throw at him, but the last twelve months have tested him like never before. His six-year relationship with Sebastian Carmichael, the love of his life, is crumbling under the weight of Owen's injury-induced depression and chronic pain. Once a vibrant and active partner, Owen now feels like a burden, believing he's holding the younger Sebastian back.

Desperation sets in when Sebastian, seeking solace and clarity, retreats to their holiday house on the Tasmanian coast. The distance between them feels insurmountable, and Owen fears it's the end of their love story. But as nature unleashes its fury in the form of a devastating tsunami, the end of their relationship might be the least of their worries.

𝘙𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴 is a story of love's endurance against all odds. It has themes of natural disaster, rescue romance, hurt/comfort, and the dynamic of an age-gap relationship.
