And I was ready to give it all up.
I was ready to give up on myself.
Until she walked into my life like a ray of sunshine lighting up my dark world.
Lola Lively.
The hottest new thing in country.
The hottest thing I’d ever seen.
With a voice so full of life it made my dead heart beat again.
I should stay away.
I’m too old, too jaded, and too damn wrecked.
But from the second I laid eyes on her, I knew I didn’t have a choice.
I knew I had to have her.
I knew she was already mine.
I may be almost twice her age, but I’ll be her first.
Her only.
Her forever.
She saved my life.
Now I’m gonna give her mine.

This one is oh so sweet. It's perfect as a light read. A world-weary older country singer meets eyes with another younger upcoming country singer, and the rest is history. Both are terribly besotted with each other. There is absolutely no angst. Reading this made me feel like I'm being hugged in a warm and loving embrace. So fucking safe.
This was smokin!! A hardened, jaded rocker and the gentle, innocent singer who refreshes his soul!
I loved this one from start to finish!!
Safe. Hero’s past isn’t mentioned, but he doesnt come off as a manwhore. Heroine is a virgin and belongs only to her hero. No ow/om. No cheating or sharing. Hea with epic epilogues years out
This book focuses on Cash and Lola. Cash has had a very successful music career for over 20 years but he is now just completely over it. He feels disconnected from the world and is incredibly unhappy in life. That all changes the day he meets Lola, an up and coming musician. Immediately, his obsession with her begins and his new life purpose changes in an instant. She becomes the absolute center of his universe and his new purpose in life is to love her and make her happy. I love that they both felt the instant connection and both fell hard for each other at first glance. This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

The spice was nice, the story was sweet, and the age gap was distracting me from all of that.
PROS: - Lovable cast of characters - Sweet love story - The spice was nice - Short and sweet
CONS: - HUGE age gap - She is a virgin when they hook up for the first time - The young, innocent, virgin angle was the only reason the age gap was so jarring for me the whole time. It haunted the whole story. WHEN OTHERWISE the storyline was very cute.
THREE out of five stars that were born without the tragic ending

Age gap Both country singers He falls fast She has loved him since she had his posters on her wall Virgin FMC They make great music together
I loved this no angst, HEA, no 3AB, short fun read. Even though it’s <100 pages, I still felt there was some character depth which is hard to do with a book this short. This won’t be my last book of Olivia’s that I read, that’s for sure!!!!
Country Heat by Olivia T. Turner is a räcƴ ägë-gäp, grumpy/sunshine, he-falls-first... but she's had a crush on him for awhile, romance in the world of country music. Cash is a world famous country music singer with bad habits and is weary of everything. He takes no pleasure in anything. He has been in the music industry for over 20 years and has zero inspiration. Lola is the talented up & coming country music singer that has a zest for life, loves her fans and is brimming with creative energy. They are both at a music festival in Tennessee. Olivia writes the differences between Cash & Lola beautifully in each of their performances at the festival. Cash is first and Lola is second, how they perform mirrors how they feel about their life and what they are doing with it.
With classic Olivia's pizazz - Cash changes everything when he first sees Lola. 🥰
"...I feel something taking over as I watch her sing. I feel different. I feel… revived. It’s her. I feel like everything is changing with every second my eyes are on her. I’m being reborn as I watch her play. The old way of doing things is over..."
Olivia is the maestro of the Possessive Male in all of her books...major swoon! It can show up in different themes & flavors... 😏 Cash is no different. We see this ṣëxƴ man begin to mark his claim on Lola...
"...the icon, my lifelong crush, my idol, the most talented man in the world is staring at me like I’m his. I can feel the possession rolling off that gaze and wrapping around me like a warm blanket on a chilly night..."
Always, always, always - we have some seriously ṣtëämƴ ṣëxƴ times, HEA and fun future epilogues. 💗 Give yourself a treat & read Country Heat!
...aaaaannnnddd the scenes in the horse stables & on the piano will live rent free in my mind forever! (...plus this sexy A.F. Cover)🥵🔥💋
'Her mesmerizing eyes locked onto mine, freezing my breath. Freezing time. I’ll never forget it. It was the moment that changed everything. It was the moment that pulled me out of the deep unyielding darkness. Normally, I’m drained after a show. I usually drink until the voices go away and my eyes close for the night, but instead, I’m vibrating with enough energy to power the entire hotel. The only thing that calms me, focuses me, is the thought of pen on paper, strings under my fingertips, turning this overwhelming obsession into music. I’ll write a hit song that we can sing together. That will bind Lola to me forever.'
I loved this book. It's not the usual setting I'm used to from Olivia T. Turner, but as always, it quickly hooked me. I loved both Cash and Lola. Loved that she literally inspired him to LIVE again; and to throw away his vices. Love that he channeled his obsession into writing a song for them to duet. It was sweet and hit me stronger than the usual love at first sight scenarios. I also love what an incredible moment it must have felt to Lola to not only meet the man who inspired her to be a singer and was her crush and lifelong idol, but for him to have known her name and told her she was "something very special." My fangirl heart was screaming on her behalf! The chemistry between them was scorching- literally stopping her in her tracks... more than once. I couldn't get enough of these two. My favorite scenes were them singing together, and meeting Vince and his nieces. I also need to point out Rachel as the best wingwoman ever!
This story turned out to be one of my favorites. I hope it goes to audio someday! 5 stars.
This was a fabulous over the top posessive, dominant, very Alpha Cash character paired with a naive, innocent, talented, younger Lola. He was tired and weary from decades of stardom and living in a guided cage while she was still experiencing the high of being recognized in public or on the street. Their in two completely different places in their careers, but that didnt matter to them. The attraction was immediate and intense for them both, though it was Cash that continuously moves first (understandable with her lack of experience and the notoriety disparity). The story itself was engaging, the totality with which Cash devoted himself to one singular thought. Also, while Cash and Lola were certainly the main characters, all the secondary players were wonderful, as each had a role in how the story progressed. I would be interested to read a story about one of the other couples that was created by the close of this book (please).
I voluntarily reviewed a gift copy of this book. Happy Reading Y'all 📚
Oh my!! Cash is really instantly obsessed with Lola as soon as he sees her. It was an easy relationship because she was already crushing on him since 13 years old. I like his obsession, his care, how fast he changed some things to be better for her, his desperation to see her soon, and how upfront he was with her about having her forever. It’s a low angst, easy, sexy story. The only thing it’s missing is the vagueness of his dating life. I would like to think he didn’t date nor had any casual s*xs either, because he said he was a loner and basically didn’t like people. But then he says he’s done a lot. So, idk what to think about his previous relationships. I also would’ve loved a little more of the story. Especially, him proposing, how did the crowd/paparazzi reacted when they saw them together, how was his reaction toward what was publicized, them recording their new album, him finding out he’ll be a father. Just more.
SAFE OTT, alpha, obsessed, insta-love alpha No cheating No separation No drama Recommended.
This short and steamy read brings all the feels and all the fire. Cash is a broken-down country music legend who's ready to walk away from it all, until Lola steps into his life. She's young, talented, and full of light, and the way their connection jumps off the page had me hooked right from the start.
The age gap romance is done in that classic over-the-top style where the older alpha hero is all in from the beginning, and honestly, it works. Cash is protective, intense, and totally gone for Lola, and she’s just the right mix of starstruck and strong.
It’s a quick story, definitely focused on the romance and chemistry, with a sweet HEA that ties everything together. If you enjoy possessive alpha vibes, small-town music scenes, and fast-burning insta-love with heart, this one’s a great pick for a cozy night in. 💫🤠.

He meets his muse at the Tennessee County Festival
Country Heat is a fabulous story with an age-gap mixed with country musicians romance between Lola and Cash. From the first time Cash Edwards laid eyes on Lola Lively backstage at the Tennessee County Festival he was obsessed with her and knew she was perfect for him, even if he was going to have to change some of his ways. Cash has been a country superstar for decades and lives an isolated, lonely and booze and cigarette filled life. Lola is a young star who first became known from her YouTube postings. But one recording contract and album later and she has the number two song in the country, right behind the man she has loved and dreamed about since she was young, Cash. These two are head over heels for each other from the start, with her acting as his muse and reigniting his passion and songwriting. I loved this OTT, intense, sweet, sexy and steamy book.
Cash Edwards is a country star that his music has lost its appeal and does not seem to have any new music in him. He is ready to give it all up, he cannot stand to sing his songs anymore. Until he sees up and coming, Lola Lively for the first time, she makes him interested in something again, her. He should stay away from her, he is too jaded and old for her. There is nothing that is going keep him away from her, she has just sparked an interest in music, she is his muse.
Lola has a poster of Cash Edwards on her childhood bedroom in her parents house, she has always had a crush on him. When he shows romantic interest her it is like a dream come true, and he also wants to sing with her.
This is sweet and oh so steamy read as only this author can write them.

I went into this read not sure what to expect beyond “this will be a nice quick read.” Well… I’d say it was so much more. This was short, fast, so sweet and very fairytale romantic.
This is my first book by this author and I was not disappointed at all. If anything, I wanted more. I’m reading wondering, hoping, that this is based on a true story. I was so caught up I didn’t want it to end and wished it was longer or hell even a movie that I could watch many times over. I’m running to Olivia’s website after this review because I need to know if any of these songs are actual tracks because they need to be added to my playlists.
I’m going to end this review as not to drop any potential spoilers. I love to go into a read with fresh eyes and hope I haven’t spoiled that part for anyone.
This was absolutely gloriously gorgeous. By far my favourite OTT story to date. Olivia paints a vivid picture of Cash - the weary, lonely, depressed and disillusioned mega famous country star - whose whole world is changed the moment he sets eyes of Lola. I loved the instant attraction between these two, and the way they become everything to each other. Every moment was heartfelt and authentic. Their story brought tears to my eyes, and the steamy scenes were electric, hot and intensely heartwarming. That they were not only love soul mates, but also creative soul mates, was perfect, and I enjoyed the beautiful music they made together.

This was freaking awesome. Cash was swoon worthy. At the beginning he is in a dark place. He doesn't feel in control of his life. His fame is. He feels more like a puppet than a man. And I absolutely love how he changes so much as soon as he meets Lola. Heck, just when he sees her for the first time. She irrevocably stole his heart and changed his outlook on life. Lola was a ray of sunshine. She felt blessed and was thrilled with the fame she had. She was the girl next door. I loved these two together. Their chemistry was beyond combustible. OTT gave us her definitive OTT MMC. I loved every bit of it.

Instalove slice at its finest, with this age gap country musician romance featuring Cash and Lola. Feeling like the lifestyle of the rich and famous is just a weight around his neck, Cash is distant from his fans finding solitude in the bottle rather than engagement. However a three day festival in Tennesee changes all that when catches a glimpse of Lola an up and coming talent. Lola has had a crush on Cash since she was a teenager, and finally meeting him and speaking to him backstage is a dream come true. So when he gives her a proposition of a duet she's definitely interested. Can the relationship stay purely professional or will the country heat become too much.
Cash and Lola what they are ? I mean their chemistry omg 😍. Cash wasn’t interested anymore in his career as a singer but then he met Lola and everything changed from that moment. Lola had a crush on Cash from the very first moment when she heard his voice. Their instant connection was on point. The way they both had ideas for songs whenever they were thinking about each other. I just loved this book 🥰🥰.

“I bet that singing is the third most exciting thing we can do with that mouth.”
Super sigh worthy, moving, instalove story that hits all the feels. Both Cash and Lola are singers, but Cash was getting burnt out until he finds his passion again upon seeing Lola for the first time. Lola is just hitting the big time but has had a crush on Cash since her teens. Another meet up at a party and along with one horse stable things really heat up. OTT could easily be a songwriter but so very happy she chose to be an author instead!!!.

I hated all the remakes of “A Star is Born”, especially the original. This is the short story rendition about a burned out old country star, who has succumbed to drinking, smoking and loneliness, and the rise of a young, inspiring starlet. I despise stories about celebrities. I loathe C&W. I purchased this novel. Why? Only Olivia (over-the-top) Turner’s reputation for delivering fabulous short steamy reads with enchanting characters could convince me. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! As Teddy Swims deliciously croons, “…I lost control”. I’m tired of stars 🌟. This is getting ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥.
Grumpy, burnt-out singer meets ray-of-sunshine newbie singer and falls head over heels in love.
It was short, sweet, and steamy—but unfortunately, I just wasn't into it. Did I hate it? No. Did I love it? Also no. It's somewhere in the middle of my scale, but since I wasn’t really invested, it’s gonna have to end up with a 2.
Kudos to the multiple time-skip epilogues, though. That should really be a staple when it comes to romance erotica.

This was a really good book! I really enjoyed Cash and Lola's story. Cash is tired of the life that he has been leading; he no longer has the desire to perform his music until he sees Lola. Lola is just starting her career and loving it. Cash knew Lola was meant to be his as soon as he saw her. There is no drama between these two but Lola is able to help Cash find his love again in music and they are able to get there HEA.

Cash is a jaded, world weary individual just going through the motions in a haze of alcohol and nicotine until he sees an angel. Now he just has to persuade her to be his.
Lola is an up and coming young musician just coming off stage when she makes eye contact with her idol. Can he really be interested in her?
A wonderful steamy instalove romance between a disenchanted heart throb and a young woman still full of life. Thoroughly enjoyable and instantly engaging.

This was a wonderful and inspiring romance for Lola and Cash. They're both country music singers but he's been around for quite a while and she's new on the scene. That being said, she's crushed on him for years ;) He sees her perform at a festival, after him, and he's fully overcome. She becomes his muse and he truly turns a new leaf to be better for her. As they get to know each other, and make music together, they quickly find they're perfectly matched. What follows is a heartwarming and heated romance that leads to a fab HEA. Good fun!
