Caleb's Song
Music was his life, until it cost him his brother… As lead singer of the world-famous band, Three Odd Lizards, Caleb Roman had it money, women, and a superstar life envied by millions. In a split second, everything changed. Now, silenced by grief, he lives the life of a recluse, consumed with guilt, and tormented by regret. Small town girl, with no room for dreams… Gabby thought she had it all, her dream job in Paris, great friends around her, and a perfect fiancé. In a single moment, everything changed. Frivolous hopes and dreams were packed away, replaced by duty and responsibility. A single mum, running the family bakery and caring for her parents, there just isn't time for 'what ifs', and no use for them in small town Beryl Creek. A chance encounter… Swapping bustling Sydney for a short break in the country, Caleb sees no harm in being less than truthful about his identity with the locals. When Gabby and Caleb's worlds collide, mutual attraction sparks, igniting long dormant desires. In each other's arms they both find what it is they never knew they wanted, but as dawn breaks, will one night be enough? When the paparazzi storms into town, confronting Gabby and revealing Caleb's true identity, will Gabby forgive his lies, or will she walk away forever?

Caleb's story was poignant and engaging. I was happy to receive an ARC copy of this book from the author and Voracious Readers Only and really enjoyed the story. The story involves coping with grief and loss - not just through death, but also because of choices made by many of the characters. Understanding Gabby's relationship with Caleb involves understanding her parents, her and Caleb rolled up in one big ball of emotions. The story brings the reader through grief, joy and reconciliation in its many forms and made for a gripping read. Personally, I could have done without some of the descriptive bedroom scenes as a couple of times they went on for a bit. A unique story, well layered with a satisfying ending.

3.5 rounded up to 4
This was a pretty sweet story. Caleb and Gabby were solid mains and the chemistry between them was well done. I liked their back stories, but it seemed most of the novel was centered on Caleb and his flashbacks - it would have been nice to read more from Gabby's perspective. Overall though, a lovely book about overcoming past tragedies and finding happiness and love.
Thank you Voracious Readers and Kathleen Ryder for my copy! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Sweet story!
Caleb’s Song was a good story. It had anguish and love! There were some minor grammar and spelling errors. I felt the flashbacks were over done. Though I liked the last flashback with the conclusion.

Enjoyable story. Needs a reader to edit it though - a few typos scattered throughout. Received as a complimentary review copy from the author via Voracious Readers Ony in return for an honest review.

Not a bad romance with some steamy stuff too. Loved the story line but felt somewhat confused by the change in the writing style. Nice to read an Aussie book.
