Gemma Carlson didn’t plan on waking up married.
She also didn’t count on running into her old flame—and her son’s father-turned-country-rock star—Travis Bowers, followed by a night of drunken dares. Apparently one of those involved a ring on her finger and a vow…neither of which she intends to keep. Now with a hangover from hell, this good-girl-gone-bad knows there’s just one thing to do: run.
Travis has been all over the world, but Gemma has never been far from his thoughts. So when he had the chance to catch up over a few drinks, he didn’t hesitate. Of course he didn’t expect it would lead to marriage, or a runaway bride!
Travis finally has a second chance and doesn’t plan on losing Gemma again—or the son he didn’t know he had. He proposes—albeit belatedly—a date. Or rather, a few. If they can make this marriage work by starting over, he stays. If not…
Gemma’s not interested; she’s got a son to protect and a heart to heal. But having Travis around could make both a little easier. Still, good girls don’t date rock stars…right?
Good Girls Don't Date Rock Stars is a sweet story about second chances and not giving up on what you want. It's also a story about not letting other people who you come in contact with get the best of you. It's about letting go of the ugly words that may come your way. Holding your head high, regardless of your shortcomings. And making life what YOU want it to be.
Gemma, words brought her down her entire life. To the point that she retreated in her own personal bubble for protection. When the one boy she trusted with her heart shatters it, she does it again, regardless of what he has to say about it. Years later, Gemma has become a successful business owner, and runs into that boy again. The one guy who has never been far from her heart, far from her mind. Travis.
Travis left when Gemma didn't trust him, or believe in him. Seeing her standing in front of him brings back the heartache he once buried. Desperate to make her see the friendship they threw away, Travis takes her out for a night on the town. The next morning? All heck breaks loose, and what fun it is.
Codi Gary has a funny, sweet series here with all the elements to make the reader want to read it over and over again. Sexy guys, sweet independent heroines, nosy neighbors, and even a secret town gossip columnist who seems to know anything and everything. You won't be disappointed with this sweet sassy read, perfect for these beautiful spring days.

Excerpted from GOOD GIRLS DON’T DATE ROCK STARS by Codi Gary
How many glasses of champagne did I have last night? Gemma Carlson groaned, gritting her teeth against the stabbing pain that seemed to be spreading through her brain. She didn’t want to open her eyes, afraid of what she would find. Right now she was only sure of two things. One, her head hurt like a son of a bitch and two, she was very, very naked. Prying open her right eye, she tried to focus on her surroundings, but instead of seeing intricate, golden wallpaper, she found the walls were now light colored. A couch sat in the corner of the room, though her room had had a tiny office chair and desk. The landscape on the wall was new, too. She opened both eyes, blinking rapidly at the dryness, and realized she had no idea where she was. Which meant she obviously wasn’t in her hotel room. A light snore behind her caught her attention and she stiffened, turning her head slowly to look at her bedmate. She sucked in a breath at the sight of dark curls and a broad back, the only things visible above the heavy comforter. What have I done? Sitting up, she swallowed down the rolling nausea and fought the splitting headache, catching her face in her hands. And then she felt it. Something cool and metal on her finger. Something that definitely shouldn’t be there. Pulling her hands back, she stared at the large three-stone diamond ring on her left index finger and froze.Playlist
