We've had a bit of excitement at our house today. My husband and daughter were broadsided in a car accident. Thankfully no one was hurt, but it isn't looking good for the car. Sigh. But the bright spot to the day is the book I'm going to tell you about---Sun and Moon by Lee Strauss.
When I first started reading this book I was a bit put off because the first chapter starts out great, then goes to a flashback and down a road with a main character I wasn't sure I wanted to go. I was so glad I read on, though, because there was an unexpected twist and the author made the situation into something that really drew me to Micah, our hero. Boy, did that keep me turning pages. Micah is a mysterious man and a gentleman, and I couldn't wait to see how our couple overcame the obstacles in their way and how his secret would be revealed. Really well done!
I liked how the author brought the indie music scene into the book and really folded that into the characters' lives. She does a good job keeping the romantic tension between the two main characters and I enjoyed the happy ending. Ms. Strauss is a new author to me and I will be looking forward to the second book in the series.
Read on if you want to hear a bit of the soundtrack and learn more about the author and her book!

I had a neighbor run a stop sign and t-bone our minivan, hitting us in the backdoor hard enough the license plate got stuck in the metal. Normally, the backseat rider sits at that door, but instead my son sat in the middle and was unhurt. My bruises healed after a couple of weeks, but I couldn't get over how my neighbor could put his five-year-old twin daughters in such danger (in running the stop sign) all because they were late for soccer practice. Can you imagine?
I'm glad your husband isn't hurt.
Thanks, Debra. My little girl seems a bit traumatized. What a scary thing for all of us. I hugged them both a little tighter tonight.
That is so lucky that no one was terribly hurt in your accident. That sounds awful! I hope the neighbor learned a lesson. :(
