After a devastating accident crushed my dreams, I ended up back in my hometown teaching kindergarten. I was trying to make the best of it. That is, until the world I had to leave behind, showed up in my classroom in the form of a five-year-old little girl. Her father living the exact life I almost had.

Adam Jacobson is known as the bad boy of rock. While he and his band tour the world, they leave a trail of mayhem. What no one knows is behind the music is a caring, straightedge man with a secret-a daughter who the world is about to discover.

When they move to my small town, their secret is blown. He needs my help to keep her out of the media, and with each exchange we grow closer. Only problem is I need to stay away from the memories he ignites, and the temptations he brings my way.

Secrets I've kept and thoughts of that fatal night come crashing back into my life. I have to wonder if it was more than fate that brought his little girl into my classroom.

Contains mature themes.

The male voice was not what I pictured at all for the character. The story was well written. Likable characters.

Great story

I love a rockstar romance and when I read the blurb for this one, I thought I want to read it. Then I saw the rating and thought, maybe not However, I did take a further look and saw that it hadn't been rated many times, and only one bad one brought it down. So I went to Amazon and saw it had a lot of positive reviews and I had to give it a go.

Unlike many other books, the description that comes with the book is good and that is really what it was about. It was a lovely story about Sarah and Adam, along with his daughter Cailin. It wonderful how the relationship grew between them and kept getting stronger. Unlike many other romance books there wasn't the inevitable conflict, split and getting back together, so cliched. There was conflict but not the way you imagine.

So, the only thing that really bugged me about the story was all the religious talk. While I didn't think it was too bad, I think it missed the mark. There was an opportunity to really show how narrow-minded some communities can be, especially ones that hide behind the Church. I think Lauren Runow could have done a lot more with that or left it out. It was hinted on, but there could have been more. Just a thought.

The thing I really didn't like was the narration. I felt neither narrator was really good for this story. Madeleine Dauer had a stop start to her voice and it felt like she was just reading the lines. I didn't think Erik Bloomquist's voice suited Adam. That could just be me. I've heard both narrators before and have liked them, so not sure what went on with this one. Sort of helps explain why the Amazon book got better reviews than the audible.

I enjoyed the story and I'm glad I persisted through the narration. Don't think I could listen to it again, sadly as I thought it was a great story. It was worth the credit, but only just.

Some great aspects, and missed the mark on others

I would happily give Our Song more stars if Goodreads would allow it. I finally get it when people say "It had all the feels". Our Song brought out all of the emotions. My journey was long, draining and wonderful.

Sadness poured from the pages as Sarah lost everything she had become in New York City. In the bright lights of the city her light dimmed. Her hopes were extinguished. Her life darkened. The Sarah she was would be no more.

Five years passed. Back home in small town California, Sarah goes through the motions. She teaches Kindergarten. She dresses conservatively. Sarah placates her Pastor father, changing who she was in a town where her father is everything. A new year. A new group of students. A new beginning.

Adam Jacobson will do anything for his little girl. Giving her a normal life has become his goal. That life begins in small town California, ruled by an ultra conservative Pastor with his daughter entering Sarah Russo's kindergarten class.

Adam and Sarah's lives collide and sparks fly. Our Song can be put in so many categories it should satisfy every reader. Small Town. Rock Star. Single Dad. Forbidden romance. New beginnings. Opposites attract. Our Song is their journey toward a HEA, toward a wonderful future.

Best of all there was so much that wasn't expected. I wanted to cheer loudly as Sarah gained inner strength. I wanted to laugh and dance with Adam's sweet daughter, Cailin. I bawled sad tears. My eyes glistened with happy tears. I smiled brightly as all the characters grew emotionally. I gained strength along side them. I found myself crying like a girl having chocolate for the first time in years. It was pure bliss. I felt a great satisfaction.

The author gave me everything I didn't know I needed. I closed the book knowing the story and the characters would remain in my heart and in my thoughts. Lauren Runow out did herself when she wrote Our Song. I can't thank her enough for the amazing wonderful fantastic story.

9/10/19 still beautiful the second time around.

Was a little drawn out, the male narrator did not go with the character, if I’m being honest, he was a bit cringy at times. Definitely didn’t portray a rock star vibe.

This was such a beautiful story. Full of so many feels. This was another one that I just had to hug my kindle when I was done. I love when authors make you fall so hard for a story. Ms. Runos has such a way with words. This is an absolute must read!

Beautiful!

Sweet, endearing and beautiful romance. Adam and Sarah are cute together, they each found something neither of them expected but sincerely deserved. I enjoyed going on this journey with them.
