~Synopsis~
Hensley Bradley is the
definition of the girl-next-door. She’s kindhearted, beautiful, and talented.
Bored with her mundane life, thoughts of fleeing her small town begin to
consume her. With aspiring dreams to use her voice as a one-way ticket, she
suddenly discovers that music might not be her only passion.
After a fallout back home, Colby Grant decides to leave his family’s farm, determined to show his father he’s more than just a wanna-be country singer. With his All-American good looks, it doesn’t take long for girls in his new town to focus their eyes on him. But things aren’t what they appear from the outside, and it isn’t long until Colby feels he doesn't fit into the perfect world that so quickly embraced him.
A chance encounter places Hensley in Colby’s path, but it isn’t her natural beauty that first captures his attention – it’s her voice.
When love and music mix, will the combination blossom into a beautiful melody or wither into a heart-wrenching tune?

~Excerpt~
“Do you know the first thing that I
noticed about you?”
She shakes her head no.
“It was your confidence. I had just gotten to town and
was going to grab a bite to eat and then call Dusty, but I saw this girl
sitting on the street corner.”
“I felt like you were staring holes in my
head,” she says softly.
“Truthfully, I was. Anyway, once you
started to sing…it was like…ya know when your favorite song comes on the radio
and you’re jammin’, listening to every word, your heads bobbin’, and you’re
just feeling the music, but then your phone rings and you know it’s a call you
can’t miss? There’s a split second where you debate on pressing forward to
voicemail so you can finish the song, but you’ve been waiting for this call, so
you turn down the radio knowing you’ll miss your favorite part just to answer
it. It was like you were my favorite song, and I was forwarding my calls to
voicemail. In that moment, I didn’t care who was standing around me. All I was
worried about was tuning in to you, listening to your voice.”
“I love you.” Those three simple words are
spoken, and much to my amazement it’s Hensley that says them first.
Clutching her face hard in my hands, I
kiss her. I kiss her for being so darn dumb and insecure, for acting like a
jealous girl, and more importantly, for loving me through it all.

~Review~
Love, love, love,
loved “In the Lyrics” by Nacole, she did such a wonderful job with writing such
a beautiful love story. First up we have Colby, he is a young man who wants to
make his dream come through by becoming a musician, not only that but he also
wants to run from his alcoholic father and the demons that hunts his father’s
past. Then we have Hensley, she build this wall up around her heart that she
claims no one can break away until we put into Colby. Oh how I love him, I
started to feel bad for him because of his dad. But once you find out what the
demons are you will start to pity his entire family too. Once Hensley started
to fall for Colby, in enters Brittani or Dusty calls her “Bitchini”, no good
story is one without the town’s whore/bitch. She knows how to stare trouble
boy, her and Logan, there’s something about rich snobby people boy, the drama
they bring to a story just does it for me every time. In the Lyrics had a
little bit of everything in it, a sweet love story, sex scenes that were just
right, sexual innuendos that I always love. Nacole did an excellent job with
writing this book guys and you will not be disappointed not one bit.
