Walker by Josie Johnston

Ed "Woody" Walker became a country star after his song Liquor Licker became famous when he was only 19. Now in his late 30s, he's trying to escape his bad boy younger image, but can't seem to stop being pressured to give the fans what they want. When the stress becomes too much and his phobias have him trying to break out of a plane while in flight, he needs a place to lie low for awhile.

May has given up being a PA for spoiled celebrities after her client's meltdown and her best friend's death on the same night a year ago. But if she ever wants her jewelry business to take off, she needs money. So she takes the job, but didn't realize "laying low" meant that he would stay in her apartment and be underfoot… and put herself under the scrutiny of the paparazzi. But after learning more about him, she realizes he's nothing like the media has made him out to be.

This was a sweet love story, with each helping the other with their issues and becoming closer as time went on. I loved the song lyrics at the beginning of some of the chapters, funny memos from the gossip rags on the others. I really felt like they had so much to overcome but they were able to stay strong together.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
