Blair Harton has always wanted to write a novel—especially a love story.

After years of playing around with the idea of a rock star falling in love with a small-town girl, she wrote Love, Lydie as a brand-new mom living in Monterey, California.

Currently, she resides in Alexandria, Virginia, with her husband and two daughters.

When she’s not writing, she can be found cooking, camping, or enjoying a nice glass of Chardonnay.

Editorial Reviews for Love, Lydie:

"Love, Lydie, the debut novel for author Blair Harton, is an absolutely wonderful read and a home run for this new author.

Editorial Reviews for Love, Lydie:

"Love, Lydie, the debut novel for author Blair Harton, is an absolutely wonderful read and a home run for this new author. Not all novels in the romance genre can be perfect in terms of plot, character development, realism, and roller-coaster emotion, but this one rings the bell in all of these things." Feathered Quill

"Harton delivers a winsome love story between a young woman and a single father. When Anna Kinser, an event coordinator, meets the bossy and adorable eight-year-old Emily who asks Anna to date her dad, Nathan, Anna is flabbergasted. But Nathan is single and gorgeous. Anna soon finds herself falling for the man, unaware he is carrying a heavy burden from the past. Harton's novel is a carefully plotted, engrossing romance with plenty of twists and turns. Her prose is crisp, and her three-dimensional protagonists with their elaborate backstories are easy to root for as they navigate the ups and lows of their lives while finding their way to one another. Nathan is easy to crush on: he's sweet, sincere, and sensitive. He and Lydie are from different backgrounds, and the conflict between them, though short-lived, is richly layered. Anna and Finley are equally compelling. But it's the feisty little Emily who steals the show. Anna and Nathan's gradually budding relationship is made even more enticing by a healthy dose of poignant emotion, human drama, and Emily's precocious behavior. Harton skillfully links diverse plotlines in a tightly woven narrative, putting forth an uplifting message about how sometimes the best comes after experiencing the worst, and how despite everything life is still beautiful. A heartwarming romance that hits all the right notes." BookView Review, BookView Review Recommended Gold Badge

"The story is fantastic and the right kind of complicated to make sure we stay until the end. The dialogues are wonderful, the characters are fantastic, and the overall feel of the story is great. I loved Emily and her spunky attitude. Lydie was the calm in Nathan's storm, and Anna was the balm to his aching soul.” Readers’ Favorite, ★★★★★

"A tender and engrossing work of romance, Love, Lydie by Blair Harton encapsulates a teenage girl's dreams of romantic fate. On the streets of Greenwich Village, rockstar Nathan Roth defends a young woman, Lydia, in an altercation with her boyfriend - a fateful encounter, as they fall in love. The novel fast-forwards a decade to Lydia's hometown, where Nathan is a single father working at the local theater, and their relationship takes a turn because Nathan is in love with the theater's events coordinator. Secrets and wounds are unearthed, weaving unexpected mystery into the novel through a series of enticing letters from Lydia appearing in the form of a scavenger hunt. Though the novel is a bit clichéd with gooey dialogue, Harton's lighthearted voice, and the story's intriguing twists, make this a wholly satisfying work of romance."
