Night Songs

By Jennifer Sienes

In Bedford County, second chances grow like wildflowers after a storm.

When Charlotte "Charlie" Van Cleave's picture-perfect life implodes in true country-song fashion, she does what any good Southern woman would do-dusts off her boots, holds her head high, and goes back to her roots. Her only inheritance is a run-down farmhouse full of memories, peeling wallpaper, and whispers from a life she tried to forget.

But Charlie's no stranger to starting over. She clawed her way out of grief before. If there's one thing she knows, it's how to survive the unsurvivable.

Now, rebuilding her life one crooked floorboard at a time, Charlie is determined to rise again. But when she reconnects with Derek Daniels-a wounded veteran who's finally come back to his family farm-old romance stirs. Derek tries to keep his feelings to himself, but when Charlie pleads for his help in unraveling the mystery of her parents' deaths, his protective instincts take over.

Set under the soft light of Southern stars and the hum of cicadas, Night Songs is a deeply moving story of second chances, small-town values, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. This southern romance story will have you laughing, crying, and longing for just one more page.

If you love second chances and Southern charm, your next favorite read starts here.

Customer Reviews

Enjoyable contemporary romance

Not having read any books by Jennifer Sienes, I wasn't sure what to expect. But I enjoyed Night Songs, the first book in The Bedford County Series and am looking forward to other books in the series. Southern charm, a damsel in distress (big time distress--country music type distress!), a hero challenged by circumstances but wanting to help, and a long-time mystery waiting to be solved--what more could a reader who likes contemporary romance stories ask for? The author created realistic and relatable characters--characters who are normal everyday folk with struggles and dilemmas that need to be solved. I like how faith in God is brought out in a personal way, recognizing that He is there in the struggles and the joys of life. I listened to an audio version of the book and Christa DelSorbo did a great job narrating Charlie's journey to trusting God to fix her brokenness. I listened to a complimentary copy of the audiobook through Celebrate Lit and was not required to write a positive review. The opinions are my own.
