Description from the publisher:
Scarlett Oliver's life hasn't always
been easy. Though many believe it has. The lyrics in her songs come from her
soul and the music that accompanies them from the world around her. Both help
her to get through some of the toughest times in her life.
When she was 18, she planned to
marry her true love...until he abandoned her at the altar and ran away with her
best friend. She threw herself into her music and built a career most would
envy. Everything seems all right until the only man she loved returns, and his
very presence might destroy her carefully crafted facade.
Jensen "JD" Drake has
always loved Scarlett. His one regret was leaving her behind to pursue his own
dreams. He allowed her to believe he cheated on her so it would be easier for
him to leave, but no woman has ever held his heart the way she has.
Now a starting catcher for the
Sparkle City Suns, he's come home, and he intends to stake a claim on her heart
once again. It won't be easy, but nothing worth having ever is.
Through all the heartache, Scarlett
never stopped loving JD, but she doubts she can ever trust him again. There are
too many years and uncertainty between them to go back.
Just when she starts to hope,
something else threatens to destroy her, and she'll need JD more than ever.
Healing old wounds might be the salve Scarlett needs to find the strength to
survive the upcoming agony awaiting her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DIAMONDS DON’T CRY is the first book
in the multi-author Mystifying Music series. Each will stand on its own. The only unifying factor is the magic of
music.
I love second chance romance
stories. After ten years apart, JD has
returned to stake his claim on the only heart that ever mattered to him. Scarlett is his only love, besides the
baseball diamond. He just has to prove
it to her. That’s what is wonderful
about second chance romances. That
proving – it’s not supposed to be easy, but it is the stuff that makes me
swoon.
I’d love to read about Scarlett’s
sisters as this series continues.
Narration: Rhonda Cusumano
narrates and though it starts out a little rocky, she soon finds her own voice
as she brings her characters to life.
There were times that it was hard to tell which character was speaking
because she was using the wrong voice for the line. That happens when an actor cold reads. Still, I like her voice and she does an
excellent job at pronunciation of the difficult words.
