Today’s Friday 56 is featuring Gathering Storms by Lex Martin.
I’ve only read a few chapters of this novel and I’m nowhere near 56 percent…
but let’s dive into it anyways.
My Friday 56 Sentence/Paragraph:
Chuckling, I lean up to kiss him,
wishing I could tell him i love him. But
that’s all he hears from his fans. Would
it mean anything if i said it? “You’re
going to kick ass tonight.”
His grin goes crooked. “I kick ass
every night.”
There’s the spirit. “Yeah. You do.”

Synopsis:
What’s more complicated than a marriage of convenience? Falling for your husband.
After losing my apartment and librarian job in the same week, I’ve hit rock bottom. That’s the only reason I consider Jace Walker’s offer to be his toddler’s nanny while he goes on a national tour.
I don’t even like the man. But he recently had a baby he didn’t know about dumped on his doorstep, and for once in his charmed life, he’s as desperate as I am.
The plan seems simple—until his label says only spouses can join the tour. And Jace Walker, it turns out, would rather lose the chance of a lifetime than leave his daughter behind.
So when he asks if I’d consider marrying him, I know exactly what I am: His last resort.
I agree to his four-month marriage, convinced he’ll never tempt me. Besides, he’s too charming, too handsome, too talented to look twice at a bookworm. I have walls up for good reasons.
Except life on the road with this rugged cowboy has other plans—bandmates who resent me, his conniving ex who joins the tour, and a deranged fan who leaves us creepy gifts.
And nothing prepares me for Jace himself. The man underneath the charm. The father who’d give up everything for his daughter. The one who makes me feel things I buried a long time ago—and the storm building between us reminds me exactly why I buried them.
If you enjoy reformed playboys, swoony cowboys, single dads who adore their daughters, or prickly, closed-off librarians who would rather read than hang out with country stars, this one is for you!
