This debut blew me away! It takes off from the very first chapter and really doesn’t slow down. I read it so quickly! Christine is a song plugger (I honestly didn’t know this existed, but of course now that I do, makes total sense 😁), who has a high-heel mishap out the CMAs. When the man that comes to her rescue is none other than country superstar Austin Garrett, her life is changed in some pretty awesome ways. Unfortunately, it ends up being changed in some not-great ways as well. I’m not going to mention these because I don’t want to give anything away, as is definitely a huge piece of the story.
Love on Tour is written by a country music exec, so there is so much back stage knowledge filtered throughout the story, which made the story so much richer.
I loved the dynamic between Christine and Austin, and the dynamic between Christine and Matt even more. Christine’s friends, as well as Austin’s band, play a big role in the story as well which I loved. This was such a great read. I hope we get lots more from Lee Adams!

ABOUT THE BOOK
Who knew a broken heel and bad fall would result in falling in love?
Though she has her dream job—finding new songs for singers in the booming country music industry—music executive Christine Matthews lives an unexciting life. That is, until a broken shoe sends her sprawling on the street right in front of Nashville singing sensation Austin Garrett’s tour bus, and Austin himself comes to her aid.
When Austin recognizes Christine as the woman who pitched him his recent number one hit, he invites her to be his date at the CMT Awards that night. Just like that, Christine is catapulted from a life of solitude to the spotlight, with Austin’s fans assuming she’s his new romantic interest. Suddenly, Christine’s the subject of much speculation—and criticism. Some jealous fans think she’s not pretty or thin enough, and they begin to cyber-bully and body shame her.
But that’s not the only reason Christine thinks accepting Austin’s invitation to join him on tour and help him find another big hit might be a bad idea. She’s also developing feelings for his tour manager, Matt. And one of her online bullies has turned threatening, bringing up trauma from Christine’s past. Is the turmoil worth it? Or is her only real solution to walk away from all of it—even the man who might just be the love of her life?
