Under a Georgia Moon by Cindy Roland Anderson
5.0
I received a copy of this book as a part of a blog tour from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.
Ok so you know those cheesy Hallmark movies that come on nonstop this time of year? The ones that are so sappy and so predictable that your husband or significant other rolls his eyes at you for watching them? The same ones that even though you know how they end you still watch them, still laugh at them, still cry during them all the way to the ending credits? You do...that's great! That's this book :D
Despite the cheesy Hallmark feel, I ♥︎ this book so much! I'm not sure I can put it into words. Under a Georgia Moon follows the story of Addie, a jilted young woman forced on vacation to forget her heartache, and Chase, a young musician realizing his dreams may not be what God has planned for him.
Addie is exactly what you would expect of a woman dumped by her fiancé a few weeks before their wedding. She is angry, hurt, and extremely self-conscious. Nothing really that you can fault her on because I would be exactly like her. Finding moments that just cause you to break down into tears. Yep, we've all been there at one point. Now though her father and sister think it's time she gets back out there. Her ex is married to another woman and expecting a baby!! She needs to move on. She knows this, but her heart and her head are saying doing the same thing for once...building walls to protect what's left of herself.
Chase is just....wow! He's not only nice looking (thank you Cindy ;) ) but he is a talented musician and puts his family and God first. He's not looking for marriage though his friends and family tell him it's time to settle down. He's just looking for his big break into the country music scene. That is until he meets Addie.
Addie's aunt sends Chase to the airport to pick up the forlorn traveler and from there a relationship blossoms...however it isn't what you think. You see, Addie's aunt is determined for her to meet a guy and start dating again the two weeks while she is visiting in Macon, GA. And Chase's ex is in town trying to force him to be with her. So he comes up with a little proposal for Addie to get both of them off their backs...they fake a relationship. Yeah...you see where this is going without me telling you right ;) because I'm not spoiling anything for you! Navigating the relationship between Addie and Chase is rough waters as the lines between what's real and what's pretend begin to blur. And Addie is unsure what she wants as her heart and her head begin to conflict.
Despite the predictability, I really enjoyed this book! I sat down one night before bed to read it, thinking "Oh, I'll just start this one tonight" and about eight hours later at four in the morning I had finished it. The characters, the writing, and even the predictable plot sucked me in and I just couldn't sit it down. Bonus and kudos to the author...the book is completely clean! No closed door sex scenes or anything, no foul language either! Maybe one or two heavy makeout sessions ;) If you enjoy clean, contemporary romance, I highly recommend you check this book out! It will not disappoint!
