MOONLIGHT KISS is a Cricket Creek novel, set in a
southern town
reinvigorating itself since the building of a baseball
stadium. City girl Addison Monroe never expected her
fiancé to suggest making a reality show of their upcoming
wedding. She's got a business degree and she's quite
private, and the idea of being famous for being famous
simply doesn't appeal. Garret's from a celebrity family
however, and he intends to use his connections. Maybe it's
better to find out now that they're not really suited after
all....
MOONLIGHT KISS follows Addison's visit to a friend in
Cricket
Creek, Kentucky as she takes a break from her life. Taking
stock, she realises that she's been drifting, without a
passion for anything, and probably wasn't very exciting to
know. Time for a change. Meanwhile, siblings Reid and Sara
are arguing. Sara's quit teaching to run a visitor-
friendly family farm business and hopes to branch into
weddings, while Reid has the dismal facts about farm
economics at his fingertips. Reid just doesn't want to see
his sister fail and lose her own money as well as the
family farm.
Addison's pal Mia suggests she take on a wedding dress
store. They could link businesses and help each other. It
sounds very interesting, and the town is thriving. Mia adds
that there's plenty of baseball players and country lads in
jeans around - the city girl isn't interested, until Reid
enters the restaurant... Reid however makes assumptions,
fuelled by showbiz rumours.
I was pleased to meet up again with Tristan and Savannah
who run the Whisper's Edge retirement community, and other
townsfolk are discussed. A new reader should be
comfortable but there is quite a lot of gossip instead of
action or challenges, making this a quieter read than some
of the series. I was puzzled by how people get all their
clothes off before deciding that they've let matters go too
far; this is handled well in the book but in reality could
lead to trouble. A more mature musician also visits
Cricket Creek and I like the multi-generational tone of
these romance books, especially as mature women and not
starlets are valued.
Personal issues are to the fore in MOONLIGHT KISS and many
readers will take encouragement from LuAnn McLane's story
of starting a business. Sometimes it's worth taking a
chance.
Cricket Creek, Kentucky, is a sweet river town known for
its baseball, shopping, and cuisine. After finally
rebounding from the recession, the residents are ready to
repair their lives—and their hearts...
After two very public broken engagements with two very
famous men, Addison Monroe is ready to avoid the spotlight.
She decides to put her wedding planning experience to good
use by opening a bridal boutique. Setting up shop in small
town Kentucky is the perfect way to escape prying eyes and
live a quiet, single life.
Investment consultant Reid Greenfield is fed up with
weddings—and not his own. He's certain his sister's
plan to turn their family farm into a wedding reception
venue will lead to bankruptcy. Reid hopes that city girl
Addison will be an ally in getting his sister to change her
mind before she loses her savings. Instead, Addison adores
the idea and jumps on board. It's a risky
business—especially once romance gets involved. But
sometimes a little risk brings a huge reward...
