Author Reader Match – Terri Osburn

September 12, 2017

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Reader Match” where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in love with. It’s our great pleasure to present Terri Osburn.

Writes:

I write contemporary romance novels with heart and humor, typically in a small town setting. But my newest release, RISING STAR available Sept 12th, is set in the gritty and glittering world of the Nashville country music scene, and features a spotlight-reluctant country radio DJ falling for an up and coming country singer.

About:

I’ve been a romance reader for more than three decades and can’t believe this is how I get to make my living. I’m a northerner transplanted to the south more than twenty years ago and will stay here, far from extended winters. I hate to be cold! Last year I moved back to Nashville, which is truly the city of my heart. One early reviewer of RISING STAR said I wrote a love letter to Nashville and country music. Though that wasn’t my intention when I started the book, I love the sentiment and hope readers will not only enjoy the love story between Charley and Dylan, but maybe fall so in love with the setting that they just have to pay Music City a visit.

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

  • You’re a night owl who thinks rising around 10am is early.
  • You love all types of music but especially country music.
  • You’ve lost many hours sleep thanks to romance novels that you couldn’t put down. (Totally worth it!)
  • You can appreciate a nice alpha, but melt for a hunky beta hero every time.
  • You’re willing to tolerate if not totally understand my emotional (and financial!) investment in the Nashville Predators hockey team.
  • You like driving down the road with the windows down and the radio up, singing along (badly in my case) to your favorite songs.
  • You love a cute or feisty pet in your romances.

What to expect if we’re compatible:

  • Swooning when a hero kisses his heroine’s forehead or tucks a lock of hair behind her ear.
  • Wishing you could have drinks (coffee or wine) with the characters you’re reading.
  • Some laughter, a few tears, and a big happy sigh upon reaching the happily ever after.

RISING STAR by Terri Osburn

Shooting Stars #1

Rising Star

A popular DJ at the hottest station in Nashville, Charley Layton is doing what she’s always wanted to do: living in the heart of country music. Charley puts her career first and relationships second, but when a charismatic stranger in a black cowboy hat invites her back to his place, she decides to give herself one night of no-strings fun.

But Dylan Monroe isn’t a no-strings kind of guy. Charley is beautiful, brainy, and brassy as hell—the kind of girl he’s always wanted. When his record label books him an interview on Charley’s show, he’s determined to find out why he woke up alone, and when he can see her again.

With Dylan now the most eligible bachelor in country music, Charley doubts their fling stands a chance, but she’s willing to try. Dylan dreams of fame, but he also craves a life offstage with Charley. Can he convince her that both of their dreams are worth chasing, and that love is still possible, even in the spotlight?
