Musical Games by Evie Alexander

As an actress who plays a small part in a UK soap opera, Sam is looking for bigger and better roles. When she learns that big time star Brad Bauer is shooting his new film in Kinloch, her best friend Zoe's new home, she plays hooky from work and takes a chance to meet him, date him, or whatever works to help her acting career. She stays with town gossip Morag and her son Jamie, a shy electrician still living at home with his mother. From the start it seems like Jamie resents her and everything she does seems to make things worse. Until one night, he brings it his guitar and their harmonies together are magic. Her nerves get the best of her when meeting Brad and she promises him an album for his movie, and suddenly she's dragging Jamie out of his shell to help her with the music. 
Jamie has always been shy and protective of his mother, afraid to move out and leave her. Living in a small town, the chances for romance just got away from him and suddenly he approaching 30 and still a virgin. Sam is beautiful, bubbly, and loud and Jamie finds himself continually tongue tied and ashamed, but after she sings with him, he's overcome by a sudden love for her. But he'll never be enough for her when she can have any man she wants.
Oh Jamie <swoon>!! I absolutely fell in love with his character, hiding his true feelings beehive a grumpy shell. Sam was the perfect sunny character to bring him out of his shell... but it definitely took some work and a lot of miscommunication before they got their HEA. I think this book was the best of the series yet!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
