A short, sweet and romantic little diddy that won't take long to read but will leave you with a smile on your face. When a small town girl makes it big on the country music scene, she meets Jake Bryant, the Country Music God. There's a little flirting, some heaving hitting and a trip home where she comes face-to-face with what's real. Even if it appears there's a romantic triangle to this one, there's always a clear winner and absolutely no cheating.

Fun-to-read!

Belle Montgomery has done her share of singing in local country bars but now she’s touring and opening for the “country music god” Jake Bryant and with a voice like hers, she’s bound to hit it big. Admittedly, she fangirled over Jake when she first found out she’d tour with him. I mean, who wouldn’t? He’s a hottie with a perfect voice, he’s a gentleman, and he knows how to rock a pair of tight jeans.

While on tour Belle and Jake have quickly become friends. They flirt non-stop but they can’t go there, not without making things weird, but he’s proving hard to resist. Especially when they find themselves with a few days off during the tour and Belle invites him back to her small hometown and her family’s cotton farm. All Jake wants is a genuine girl that likes him for him, not for his fame, and Belle could be that girl.

Enter Chase and Lindsay, Belle’s BFFs from home. Chase has always been there for Belle, but never more than a friend. Everyone else sees how Chase looks at her, even Jake, but Belle doesn’t see him as more than a friend. Belle misses her family, her home, and her friends, but she loves her singing life and is looking forward to that career taking off. If only she could have the best of both worlds.

What happens when Belle and Jake get a little too close during their downtime? Is the risk of the aftermath worth what she’s feeling in the moment? Jake’s jealousy of Chase could prove what Belle has denied all along, that there may actually be something between Chase and herself. Will her heart lead her in the right direction?

Our Song is another great story from the fabulous mind of Casey Peeler. It is a short story, but it’s not short on feels and down home country fun. Give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed.

This sweet country novella will put a smile on your face from the beginning to the end. The chemistry between Belle and Jake is undeniable. But the love between Belle and Chase is unmistakable.

Once Belle hits it big opening for country music star Jake Bryant, she is living her dreams. When they are given a few days off what better way to spend them that at home in Lattimore? And why not bring the big country star Jake to her hometown?

As Belle and Jake head home to hang with her family and friends, the sparks fly between them. Can they keep things professional between them? Then there is Chase to contend with. He is home to Belle but they are just best friends right?

Sometimes the grass is not greener on the other side. And you have to decide if you want new and exciting or familiar and safe? These are the choices that Belle must decide on. Can she follow her heart to the man of her dreams?

I can truly say that having been a fan of Casey’s from her first book; she just keeps getting better and better. I can not wait to see what else she has in store for us.

I was provided a copy of the book by the Author for an honest review.

O.M.G. I just finish reading this book, and I love it, love the characters, and love how the book turn out to be, I have to say that I am a big fan of Casey I love the way she writes, I am gone keep this short, since this is a short novella.

This is the story of Belle, she is small town girl who love to sings, and now her dreams had come true, now she is on tour opening up for country music sexy mega star, Jake Bryant who is also had become one of her closer friends, after the last night of the concert, that they will get to have a break, Belle ask Jake to go home with her, Jake accepted but what they where not expecting was for things to get a little hot between them two, and for Belle to start seen her best friend Chase differently, the question is who will she choose.

I really love and enjoy reading this book, Author Casey Peeler THANK YOU once again for introducing me to this amazing characters and this awesome book love it.

Casey Peeler knows how to write southern romance!!! Being a country girl myself I can always get lost in Casey's writing. This was a great quick read and I feel in love with Belle!

Up and coming country music star Belle Montgomery is the opening act for country music god and hottie Jake Bryant. They have a few days off on their tour and Belle brings Jake home to Lattimore her hometown for a little break, and things get a little complicated when sparks start to fly between these two.

"I know you want to keep this relationship professional, but I’m not makin’ any promises.”

While at home Belle and Jake spend sometime with her best friends Chase and Lyndsay. Chase has always had a thing for Belle and watching her with Jake is less than ideal. When faced with the choice ... what/who will she choose ... what she believes her heart desires or her best friend who's been there all along??

Another enjoyable read from Casey Peeler with a beautiful story and characters you can get caught up in. I always enjoy Casey's writing as she makes you feel like you are right there with the characters.

Belle, a small country girl with big dreams that are finally coming true. Opening for a huge sexy star like Jake Bryant would make anyone swoon, but Belle and Jake find more than physical attraction they find friendship. But when a break on the tour arises and they venture to Belle's hometown things start to heat up and get a little complicated.

Chase is one of Belle's childhood friends and he has been in love with her just as long. Now that she's home will he finally tell her and make his move or will he be too late?

Well, if you want to know the answer to that question you're going to have to go 1~click your copy of Our Song and find out!

In this fantastic novella, Casey Peeler continues to prove she's a talented author. Rising country music star Belle Montgomery is the opening act for the one and only Jake Bryant. While taking a few days off during their tour, Belle takes Jake home to Lattimore with her. Sparks fly between them as she shows him what her hometown has to offer.

Belle's friends Chase and Lindsay want the best for her. Chase, however, has always seen her as more. Will he be able to control his feelings once he sees Belle living it up in Lattimore with Jake? Or will Jake prove he only wants a good time while on tour?

This quick, feel good novella is jam-packed with every quality a Casey Peeler fan is accustomed to. It is a definite must read for everyone who loves a genuine down-home love story with a country flare.

4 sensational stars

This was a quick, little hot novella.

Belle is the opening act for Jake Bryant, the IT country music star. When they arrive in Belles hometown for a little break things begin to change for them. Belle is smack dab in the middle of good old rock and hard place. She knows she wants Jake but deep down in her heart Chase has always been the one. Will Chase step up to the plate and make his move or is it already too late? Will Jake show her who he really is and beat Chase to the proverbial punch?

You'll have to read this one to find out for yourselves. Casey put a whole lot of story into such a small book! I felt like I was at the swimming hole and honky tonk. I loved the family feel and the honest to life feel of the book! Way to go, Casey, can't wait to read more!!

MUST READ!!

I'm pretty sure that if you put charley, Raegan , the Kluft girls, belle, Emmett, cash money, Joe, Lyndsay, and Jake in a room it would be one hell of a party. I absolutely love casey peelers books. She truly never disappoints. Her stories make you believe in love and crave that southern down home charm. I think the country music and the reality of her books draws me in. You get hooked after reading one chapter!
It's the same with Our Song. I was hooked and dying to read it after reading the overview. There's always something you can take from Casey's book and something you can always relate too!
If you have not read any of Casey's book you NEED to! Your missing out if not!

If you're looking for a quick read about love, this is the one!! Casey you've done it again!!

Belle Montgomery has finally been seen. She's on tour with Country Music God himself, Jake Bryant. While on a break from the tour, she asks if he'd like to go to her home town of Lattimore with her for a few days. It's not long before things start to change between them...even though Belle want to keep their relationship professional.

What else do you do when you go to your home town and visit the place that helped you get noticed? You sing of course! She also gets Jake up on stage with her - they sign a duet. Jake has a motive....why is he acting like this?

Our Story is a great read. It's a novella so, it is a quick short read.

Belle is the opening act for Jake. During a tour break Belle takes Jake home with her. Jake meets her family and they have time to spend with her friends Chase and Lindsay. Things seem to change from friends to something more with Jake and Belle. Chase has feelings for Belle too. I loved all the characters. Both Chase and Jake are sweet. I won;t tell you which one Belle ends up with, you'll have to read it to find out.

Belle finally makes it and is opening up for the country music God Jake Bryant. When they get a small break and are close to Belle's family farm she invites Jake to tag along. Jake and Belle are just friends until he makes it clear he wants more. Then there is her friend Chase and that one time with him. Belle thinks it's in the past, but he wants her future. Chase makes his feelings known and Belle has to make a decision. The best friend that she cares a lot about, or the country music God.

A short but beautiful romantic story that is easy to read and will leave you feeling happy and content. A HEA that will not be as you expected but will leave you smiling because you know the right choice was made :-)

This is my first book by Casey Peeler but I will definitely be adding more of her books to my TBR list.

Easy and simple read

Two young friends who like each other but doesn't think it will ever be anything else. Jealous is obvious and what makes them realize their true feelings.

Casey Peeler is a new author to me. I loved this novella! Good introduction. I like a good story with a twist. Sometimes love needs a little help. I liked that history didn't end how I thought it would and I was ok with it!

Cute story

This was a cute short story of a girl who followed her dream of stardom. She met a super hot guy, only to realize she already had a great guy waiting for her. I definitely think she picked the right one in the end.
