I give Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery, 5 stars.
This is another amazing book in an incredible series. First off, this series is in my neck of the woods. That is what interested me in the series in the first place. How many people write about Delaware in fiction?! What kept me is the incredible writing of an obviously talented author. This book is another amazing example of it. These characters are so real, the have real faults, real issues, and real feelings. Not one of these characters are flat. There are parts that will make you cry, parts that will make you laugh and parts where you really want to smack the characters upside the head. But that’s ok, they’re allowed. The story of him wanting to be a “rock star” is an interesting twist for this series. I am blown away at how may different storylines and types of people the author can come up with. They do not feel like the same thing again and again. I congratulate her on this and hope to read many more in this series. Needless to say, I could not put the book down.
Oh and for the record, driving while being stuck behind a chicken truck — pure Slower Lower. Talk about realism!
If you are a fan of sweet romances where the people are real and they struggle just like normal couples, this book and series are for you.

Montgomery – Review by Tausha Treadway
Romance in Rehoboth Boxed Set (Romance in Rehoboth #1-3) by K.L. Montgomery was a great 5 star read. This is a great opportunity to have the first three books of this great series all at one time. Once you start you will be pulled right in.
Book 1 Music Man: This is Claire and Jack’s story and I loved it. Jack has always had the dream to make it big in the music industry. Life had other ideas for him and he ended up a music teacher. When he meets Claire there is an instant connection, they are great together. After Claire encourages Jack to enter a contest, things take a great turn for him and he gets another chance at his dream.
Can Jack have it all, family, music career and Claire?
Overall I really enjoyed this story. Claire loves Jack and will support him in anything he wants to do. Jack also loves Claire and is great with his daughter. There is so much going on in this read I don’t want to give anything away. The secondary characters were great. I also had some LOL moments as well.
Book 2 The Flip: What do you do when the person you hate becomes a co-owner of the same house as you? Andrew and Sonnet have a not so great past from high school, when they find themselves in an odd predicament they choose to fix up the home and sell it. Sounds easy right? Not so much.
These two have such a connection that they try to deny in the beginning, eventually they decide to give a little summer romance a try. Will it stay just a summer thing?
I was pulled right in and couldn’t stop until I was done. I loved all of the characters, they added a great element to the story. Both Andrew and Sonnet grew on me, I loved her sassiness. There was something enlightening about reading this book, I had so many LOL moments. If you’re looking for a good fun read, this is your book.
Book 3 Plot Twist: Lindy is a teacher who is taking care of her parents and working on her dream. When Lindy’s friends convince her to join the theater, this is where she meets Meric.
Meric is an accountant and is in the middle of a divorce. When he meets Lindy at the theater he is drawn in by her. He wasn’t planning on any type of relationship but something about her is different.
These two have some issues that have them holding back. Can they get past these feelings and have something together? They form a great friendship, it’s great watching them grow and develop their relationship into something more.
Will they get a HEA?
I really liked Lindy’s sassiness and how she connected with Meric. These two pulled me right in with their story. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. The only thing that gets to me is that Lindy is plus-size and I at times have a hard time with what is considered plus-size, I would have been just as happy not knowing her size and only knowing her as the great loveable character she is. If you are looking for a great romance with some LOL moments this would be a great book for you. Thank you K.L. Montgomery for another page turner.

Montgomery – Review by Michelle Austin
Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery was just what I needed. A nice and refreshing funny romance comedy. I love that KL writes about real women with less than what others perceive perfect bodies. There were lots of feels in this story but I laughed out loud so often my husband thought I had gone bonkers. KL has a way with words that just make you settle in for the ride and enjoy yourself.

I’ve read various books from this author and its been a while so I was glad I got my hands on this read! Music Man is Book #1 in a new series and I can’t believe I waited to read more books by this author! This book had me hooked from the very beginning, it was fun, it had Laugh out Loud Moments and it had romance what more could you want! This author has an amazing way with words and in doing so creates a storyline that is brilliant and characters that are relatable, lovable and you really connect with them and can’t wait to find out more of their journey. I loved that Fat Girl wasn’t the end of Claire’s journey and we got more of her story in this read, and boy I wasn’t disappointed, I loved reading about her developing connection to Jack but would his dreams get in the way of their HEA?!
I’m so glad I read this read, and can’t wait for more to come in this series. I highly recommend this read and all other reads by this author!

Montgomery – Review by Chantelle Smith
This is really a wonderful read! The story has its ups and downs. But really towards the end….I couldn’t put it down. Those words he wrote are worth tearing up over. The characters we have met almost all of them previously (if you read Fat Girl). This story made me like Claire, Jack and Anita more. Each showed great growth in their character. I enjoyed how not every thought of Claire was self doubt on her looks, thoughts or actions. It was nice plus she got some backbone. Jack went from a sexy man beast to an unrecognizable Star. For Anita? She surprised me the most and I have to say I loved all the Darth Vader references to her.
Overall this is a story I read really quickly. It has a nice flow and the plight of the characters kept me reading. Jacks song’s were great but even more because he wrote them for Claire. I didn’t realize he had that in him. Very Enjoyable!

Music Man by K.L. Montgomery is the first book in the Romance in Rehoboth series. This is a fun and charming series with highly relatable and amusing characters. I always love picking up a book in this series as they always feel so real and engaging. You can easily picture these characters as though they were people you would see every day. Reading about them is always so entertaining – you will laugh, you will cry, you will rage and you will fall in love. This book had it all and then some. I was hooked by the time I finished the first few pages. K.L. Montgomery is one of those authors that has a unique writing style. She seems to be able to turn her hand to anything she tries. She has easily become one of my favourite authors and I cannot recommend her work highly enough.

Music Man by K.L. Montgomery a five-star read that is like music to your ears. This is number one in the Romance in Rehoboth series and what a start, I am in love already, I have read the rest of the series and gone back to the start for this one and can attest that they can be read as standalone as they set in the same amazing place with some interacting characters but not in each other’s pockets, best of all worlds. This brings to us what I have come to love from this author and realness and a harsh look at life as it really is, but with a heart warming spin that sows us that just because there are wicked people in the world doesn’t mean deep down we have to join them, and just because you see the pretty outside doesn’t mean you see pretty inside and vice-versa, I love how the author shows us that side of life. I simply adored Claire as she has this amazing inner monologue that just made me relate to her infinity. Do not miss this story as it will bring music to your life.

K.L. Montgomery always has the best plot lines and characters. I am never disappointed when I pick up her books. Her characters are complex and many layers go into their personas. They are so real and I personally feel like I am in the story with them.The plot line is one that could happen in everyday life. To be honest that is one reason why I love reading K.L. Montgomery’s books. Who can honestly say that they did not fall for a music man? Even if it was just a crush. Jack’s story is just that. He is a musician man but also a single dad. Claire is that girl. She just had a milestone birthday and has fallen for her “Music Man”. What will become of the relationship with Jack and Claire? I highly recommend you reading this story to find out.

Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) By K.L. Montgomery 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the story Music Man (Romance in Rehoboth #1) by K.L. Montgomery. It is a book that pulled me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved reading about the characters of Jack and Claire. Jack’s first love has always been music. Life got in the way of him making a big splash in the music world and he finds himself teaching music. What will Jack do if he is given a second shot at his first love? Claire is sassy, strong, and independent. She has fallen for Jack. She finds Jack irresistible. What does the future hold for Jack and Claire? Will Jack’s dream finally happen? Read this book to find out. This story has lighthearted moments that made me laugh and other moments when situations would happen that made me wonder how everything was going to work out. I found myself rooting for Jack and Claire and wanted them to be happy. Other characters interact with Jack and Claire and are enjoyable to read about. This is a book that has moments that touch and warm your heart. It is a story that you don’t want to miss out on. I highly recommend it.

I loved this book. It is a great start to a new series by this author. This is a well written story that has characters that pop off the pages and into your heart. They are connectable and they easily pulled me into their story. They kept the story engaging and I love how the females are very strong and know what they want and how to get it. What happens when music is the only thing you love? Jack meets Claire and their is instant attraction. What will happen when Jack finally gets his big break but he has a strong love for Claire? This is where the story picks up and I couldn’t put it down. Their story is awesome and I highly recommend this must read book. You won’t regret picking up this book.

You’re never too old to fall in love with a rock star. Or chase your dreams.
Every girl dreams of dating a rock star–even a girl who just turned the Big 4-0. Is it the beard? The flannel? The guitar? Claire isn’t sure, but Jack is simply irresistible.
Music was Jack’s first love. When life got in the way of him making it big as a singer/songwriter, he settled for teaching music–which included giving piano lessons to a certain stunning redhead named Claire.
He’s fallen head over heels for her–just in time for his big break to finally arrive. But do you ever really give up on your first love?
Music Man is part of the Romance in Rehoboth Series, where the ladies are strong and independent and the men are actually nice guys. These fun standalone romantic comedies are set against the backdrop of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware’s top vacation destination, and can be read in any order.
