A lovely heartfelt country romance.

Gunner has a troubled past, but the fact that his initial interaction with Aubrey sparks his recovery is an incredible opening to the story. Seeing Aubrey navigate her abandonment hang ups to allow herself to open up to Gunner is just beautiful.

This was a quick, cozy read with very little angst. A romance between a big country star facing his demons and a city chef finding herself. The setting felt familiar, almost like a Hallmark movie.

It would have been great to have a little more build up to their love story, as some parts felt glossed over or sped up.

My first time reading this author.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.

A great second chance romance that's full of emotion and yearning.

The MMC here is a famous singer recovering from addiction. I thought Gunner's story arc was emotional and a beautiful tale of redemption. Aubrey has been through a lot and is finally in a good place in her life at the Naked Moose. When Gunner re-enters her life she has to decide whether he's truly a changed man or if she should kick him to the curb. The romance here is really moving since both characters have an undeniable connection but a lot of hurt stands between them. I thought the romance was believable and incredibly sweet. The yearning and angst here will make your heart ache.

Love the title for this one. It's very fitting and catchy.

Would recommend.

I devoured this story in one sitting. Talk about a second chance love with a cowboy singer who is healing from addiction. It was emotional and, most of all, full of hope and yearning. I love when hearts get another chance to connect with the heart that it once had stopped for, that it broke, it melted, and grew stronger. It was sweet as sugar with a bun of spice.

The Rebel with Broken Strings is a gut-wrenching, heartwarming tale of second chances and redemption. Our hero is a country star who blew up his professional life and with help from his friends is trying to get his life back on track. One of the things he lost was a chance to love Aubrey the incredible chef in Atlanta. Now Aubrey is in his hometown in Montana creating magic at the Naked Moose. He’s a new man can he convince her to give him a second chance. I ached at Aubrey’s pain and respected Gunner’s path to redemption. This is a fantastic addition to the Naked Moose series.

Thankyou net gallery for providing me with this ARC!

The Rebel with Broken Strings - book 3 in the Naked Moose series, i loved books 1 and 2 so was super excited to read this one.
Wow, firstly I love the name, so fitting for the story and secondly the front cover is to die for!
Perfect for fans of spicy romance, the spice starts in the epilogue and the second chance trope. I did really enjoy the story like i did the rest of the series and i would recommend, it's quite a short read i just felt that something was missing but I'm not sure what.
