What a strange way to end the book, but still I really enjoyed it. It was a solid read with an interesting look into the songwriting industry, offering some real insight into what it might look like behind the scenes.

There was something that annoyed me though. Christine is a grown woman, yet she struggles so much with expressing her romantic feelings and taking action. I get that past trauma can affect communication, but still, it was frustrating at times.

And don’t even get me started on Phoebe. I think the author tried to give her redeeming qualities but the harsh stuff she said and the way she acted around Christine outweighed those moments. I just couldn’t warm up to her. Truthfully speaking, I couldn’t stand her.

Overall it’s a nice read. Definitely one for readers who enjoy music industry based stories.

This is a good choice for someone who wants a fast, “celeb” romance with drama sprinkled in.

I enjoyed the musical/Nashville aspects of this story, but I think my favorite part of this entire story was the relationship between “Don’t call me Chrissy” Christine and Austin. He helped her see herself in a different light and that was refreshing (even though Austin is portrayed for a good portion of this story as the stereotypical drunken frat boy musician on the rise). Other than that though, all of the character “miscommunication” in this story started to drive me nuts towards the end. I found myself saying out loud multiple times, “just talk to him already ffs!” I was glad there was at least the start of character growth by the end of the story for some of the characters. Phoebe, however, I think was a terrible character with no redeeming qualities. Even when she was “vulnerable” she was still unlikeable.

Not a bad story overall, just slightly frustrating at times. It is still worth a read if you’re just looking for a quick “dramatic” romance.

Thank you to NetGalley and She Writes Press for the eARC for my honest opinion.

Thank you so much to Lee Adams and She Writes Press for the eARC of this book. This is such a fun, cute, and quick romcom read, I love it involves country music and touring. two of my favorite things! This is a perfect summer read!

Are you in the mood for a fun romcom? Check out Love on Tour by Lee Adams. It publishes this summer.

Ever wonder what it’s like to be on tour with a major recording artist? This book’s got you covered. Christine, running late for a music awards show, does a face plant in front of Austin, a rising star in country music. Which leads to him inviting her to be his date for the evening. Soon Christine is joining the tour bus to help Austin find his next hit song…and falling in love with the tour manager! I loved all of the insider details into life on tour and also the fact that our heroine’s love interest was actually the manager and not the mega star. And who knew that it is actually someone’s job to help singers pick the songs they’re going to record? (It’s called being a song plugger). A fun read for country music fans.

It's such a cute read! I like that there's friendship along with romance. Something specific I tend to really like, in books like this is when characters connect because of their work and being in similar fields.

This was a fun book for any country music fans. I loved the behind-the-scenes look at the country music industry. Adams takes us backstage, on the bus, and to award shows. I loved it! Plus, she tackles really important issues like harassment and trauma in serious, but not over powering way.

It is a sweet story with a lovely HEA. It was nice to see the relationships and friendship blossom throughout the book. The love triangle is not my favorite trope. And I found Christine a little immature. There was a long slow burn in this book instead of a ton of anticipation. It worked and I couldn't put the book down.

The ending left room for a second book in this series. I'd like to read that one too! Thank you Netgallery for the ARC.

Who doesn’t love a Country Music Romance? I was excited to get an ARC of Love on Tour via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the behind-the-scenes look at the country music industry and you can tell the author has plenty of experience (she’s been active in the industry since the 1980s and VP of Promotion at Broken Bow Records since 2007).

I like the FMC, Christine, she’s relatable and I think her job as a song plugger sounds interesting. I respected how she didn’t try and use her friendship with Austin to further her career even though her boss was trying to encourage her to.

Austin’s really fun and it would be great for him to get his own HEA although it’ll take one helluva woman to tame him. I was rooting for Christine and Matt from the very beginning, there’s a definite chemistry between them.

The mystery of Christine’s stalker kept me engaged but I felt like it was resolved a little too quickly which is why I gave Love on Tour 4 x Stars.

I’m very conflicted about this book: If I had read this as fan fiction in 2012, I would have definitely appreciated it.
But, honestly, I think that as a book in 2025 it doesn't work: maybe as a YA it could find its target, but at the moment I don't think it falls into the adult romance category.

The beginning was too fast paced and very unrealistic: Do we really believe it's possible for a music star to pick up a semi-unknown girl off the side of the road and take her to an awards show? Or that a thirty-year-old falls in love at first sight with a handsome man, experiencing the typical reactions of a teenager? The insta connection is kinda weird and inexplicable, as it’s the whole relationship between the FMC and the tour manager: how could they fall in love if their interactions are very limited and… flat? There’s no chemistry behind the lust filled one.

On the unrealistic note, I need to mention the fact that the first time Austin kisses Christine, he does so without her having actually expressed her consent or shown interest and she doesn't have any kind of negative reaction, which would have been justified given her past: a past that, in the last 10% of the book, influences the relationship with the man she claims to love.

Overall I found the characters to be quite stereotypical and full of clichés, without any deep characterization that made it possible to identify with them or find a connection.

The plot also presents, in my opinion, several critical issues: identifying and solving "the mystery" is quite simple and, honestly, from the very beginning it would have been quite solvable with surveillance cameras that however nobody thinks of installing, finding it easier to move condos and start a self-defense course. It’s just too forced to be the life of a grown woman!

In short, I appreciate the author for wanting to bring a novel based heavily on the music industry and life on the road, but I think it needs some deep editing work.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

🎵 Love On Tour hits all the right notes with its vibrant depiction of the Nashville music scene, offering an enjoyable blend of romance, industry drama, and suspense. Christine’s journey from low-profile music executive to unexpected tabloid sensation makes for a compelling premise, and the added stalker subplot adds an intriguing edge.

While the celebrity romance is fun, the plot relies heavily on the miscommunication trope, which made the relationship drama feel a bit drawn out. I also wished for a clearer narrative direction beyond Christine’s romantic entanglements. Still, the lively country music backdrop and the touch of celebrity glamour make this an entertaining read for fans of music-themed romances.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 stars) – A light, enjoyable romance with a Nashville twist, perfect for readers who love a little star-studded drama with their love stories.
