One More Round

By Amber Palmer

Olivia Hart always dreamed of following in her father's footsteps to become the CEO of Hartstring Records-the massive record label that's been in her family for generations. Before he died, she vowed she'd do whatever it took to make that dream a reality, regardless of the personal cost.

Now, at thirty-seven, she's kept her promise. Only, instead of bringing her joy, she finds herself divorced and resenting her position at the top, forced to prioritize her career over her daughter, Charlie. The days are long and the nights are lonely. She finds herself longing for a fraction of the happiness her ex has found after their divorce. When Olivia gets an unexpected call from her brother that their uncle's health is failing, she seizes the opportunity to step away from the career that has become more of a chore and drops everything to head back to Tennessee and the charming little town she left behind.

It doesn't take long for Olivia to realize that not everything is the same as it was before she left. Especially not her brother's best friend.

Duke Bennett was carefree and vibrant the last time she saw him, but now his dark eyes are haunted by something that wasn't there before. He's brash, stubborn, and adamantly against her being back in his life for any reason. Unfortunately, his daughter and Olivia's have become inseparable, and there's no avoiding each other. What starts as after-school playdates and Saturday morning soccer games reluctantly becomes more. Before she knows it, her brother's broody best friend becomes the one thing that makes her feel free for the first time in years, giving her hope for something she thought she'd never have.

As Olivia's time in Pinecrest comes to a close, she is faced with a decision that could wreck her heart either way. Does she walk away from Pinecrest and return to the dream she thought she always wanted, or will she realize that sometimes it's the legacy you choose that matters the most?

Read EVERYTHING by Amber Palmer RIGHT NOW!!

I will 100% read anything that Amber Palmer writes because she just GETS it! I thought I couldn’t love anyone in her books more than I love Bishop, but then Duke swooped in. Pinecrest Ridge is a related series (I DIED OF HAPPINESS WHEN I SAW THE NAME FOR A SECOND BOOK) to the Black Springs Ranch series. Olivia is the CEO of Hartstrings, a music label that was started by her grandfather. She’s the type of gal who won’t be talked down to by men who think she got the job through nepotism and will work all hours of the day and night to prove herself. She doesn’t love it anymore and is growing more and more unhappy spending time away from the people she loves, especially her daughter, Charlie. When the uncle who raised her after her father’s tragic death falls ill with end stage liver failure, she returns home to Pinecrest Ridge to spend time with him and her family. What she doesn’t expect is to run into (literally) the grumpy single dad that also happens to be her brother’s hunky barback best friend. Even worse, their daughters are best friends so they are forced to spend time together. O shucks! After her uncle dies, Olivia’s world is flipped upside down, and Duke is the only one who can help her right it. Olivia may be forced to go back to her whirlwind life on the road, but Duke gives her a reason to stay! One of my favorite part of Amber Palmer books is that she makes a playlist that goes along with the book, and when Can’t Fight the Moonlight from Coyote Ugly came on, I just KNEW this book was going to be good. 10/10 did not disappoint!! **I received an advanced copy of this book in return for an honest review.
