A Love Song and You
Judge Laura Remington's father had gone to jail for pirating Dallas Jones' country-western songs. By rights she and Dallas should have been enemies; yet when they met, nothing seemed to-matter except the magnetic energy neither could deny.There were all kinds of reasons why they shouldn't get involved. But Laura chose to accept the love that had been denied her for too long. And Dallas justified all their feelings for the sake of that love. So behind closed doors, behind Nashville's back, Laura and Dallas claimed what was rightfully theirs.

This is my second Linda Shaw book, following her historical romance "Odessa Gold" that I read last year.
The premise of this book centers around Dallas, a 30-year-old country song artist, and Laura, a 36-year-old female judge whose father was imprisoned for pirating Dallas's music.
A notable trope in this story is the reverse age gap, which added an interesting dynamic. Laura's insecurities about their age difference and Dallas's popularity were strongly palpable. Unlike other books, where the age gap often feels negligible, here it felt pronounced – Laura seemed much older, and Dallas appeared to be seeking comfort rather than love. Also, the romance felt rushed, leaving me unconvinced about its long-term prospects.
Given that my Italian edition was about 100 pages shorter than the original, I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 2. I believe the author's original work was better executed, and my disappointment stems from the abridged version.
