Love Me Like a Love Song


Book Description

She used to be on top of the music world. He's desperate to get there. Unable to compose since the death of her rock star husband, Grammy award-winning songwriter, Grace O'Connor is terrified the tabloids are right: she's nothing without her famous husband. But when she's ordered to help a pompous pretty-boy finish his album or be blacklisted, Grace can't give up on her love of music-no matter how infuriating her new partner. Andrew Hayes is crumbling under the weight of his ambition. Determined to prove himself to his hypercritical father, his attempts to write the songs for his band's first original LP are rapidly unraveling. When his record label sticks him with a washed-up celebrity, the future seems clear: he's going to let his band down and finally prove his father right. Forced into an unwilling partnership, the frustration is as thick as the sexual tension. With the deadline looming, Grace and Andrew agree to a temporary truce, only to uncover a far more dangerous threat-a crazy-hot attraction that can't be denied. But Andrew's terrified romance will spoil his chances of creating the album that'll put him on the map and Grace worries she's fading into the shadow of a charismatic performer-again. Will they take a chance at a love that could catapult them both to the top of the charts or will this complicated couple allow fear to tear them apart? Love Me Like a Love Song is the first book in the Storyhill Musicians contemporary romance series. If you like strong women, starry-eyed dreamers, and unquenchable chemistry, then you'll adore Annmarie Boyle's enemies-to-lovers, slow burn, rock star romance.




Like a Love Song

Not only is it humiliating--it could end her career. Her PR team's desperate plan? A gorgeous yet oh-so-fake boyfriend. Nati reluctantly agrees, but William is not what she expected. She was hoping for a fierce bad boy--not a soft-hearted British indie film star.

The Song Poet


Book Description

From the author of The Latehomecomer, a powerful memoir of her father, a Hmong song poet who sacrificed his gift for his children's future in America In the Hmong tradition, the song poet recounts the story of his people, their history and tragedies, joys and losses; extemporizing or drawing on folk tales, he keeps the past alive, invokes the spirits and the homeland, and records courtships, births, weddings, and wishes. Following her award-winning book The Latehomecomer, Kao Kalia Yang now retells the life of her father Bee Yang, the song poet, a Hmong refugee in Minnesota, driven from the mountains of Laos by American's Secret War. Bee lost his father as a young boy and keenly felt his orphanhood. He would wander from one neighbor to the next, collecting the things they said to each other, whispering the words to himself at night until, one day, a song was born. Bee sings the life of his people through the war-torn jungle and a Thai refugee camp. But the songs fall away in the cold, bitter world of a Minneapolis housing project and on the factory floor until, with the death of Bee's mother, the songs leave him for good. But before they do, Bee, with his poetry, has polished a life of poverty for his children, burnished their grim reality so that they might shine. Written with the exquisite beauty for which Kao Kalia Yang is renowned, The Song Poet is a love story -- of a daughter for her father, a father for his children, a people for their land, their traditions, and all that they have lost.
