About this ebook

Scarlett Oliver's life hasn't always been easy. Though many believe it has... The lyrics in her songs come from her soul and the music that accompanies them from the world around her. Both help her to get through some of the toughest times in her life. When she was eighteen, she planned to marry her true love--until he abandoned her at the alter and ran away with her best friend. She threw herself into her music and built a career most would envy. Everything seems all right until the only man she loved returns and his very presence might destroy her carefully crafted facade. 

Jensen "JD" Drake has always loved Scarlett. His one regret was leaving her behind to pursue his own dreams. He allowed her to believe he cheated on her so it would be easier for him to leave, but no woman has ever held his heart the way she has. Now a starting catcher for the Sparkle City Suns, he's come home and he intends to stake a claim on her heart once again. It won't be easy, but nothing worth having ever is. 

Through all the heartache Scarlett never stopped loving JD, but she doubts she can ever trust him again. There is too many years, and uncertainty, between them to go back. Just when she starts to hope, something else threatens to destroy her and she'll need JD more than ever. Healing old wounds might be the salve Scarlett needs to find the strength to survive the upcoming agony awaiting her.

Ratings and reviews

Diamonds Don't Cry by Dawn Brower is a wonderful story that I have read. This book number one in this wonderful start to a brand new series that I fell in love with and I can not wait to read the next book. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading womens fiction, contemporary and paranormal romance. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I am a fan of this author however I have mixed thoughts about this book. The story is good. Scarlett and JD are interesting characters. Scarlett is all over the place with her feelings. There are secondary individuals that didn’t really add much to the story. *******SPOILER ALERT*********** She sure gave in to JD fairly quickly. I’m not sure that’s very realistic. The part of the storyline about Remy, his father and her mother could have been better developed. Her donating bone marrow felt glossed over as well as his part in helping her. His teammates were there because? I’m not sure they really added much. This is not a bad read, but I’ve read better from Ms. Brower. I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Diamonds Don't Cry is the first book in the Mystifying Music series. I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading more books in this new series. Scarlett and JD are great characters that have past issues between them. The storyline is well written and flows nicely. This story has heartbreak, drama, tragedy, unforgotten first love, and a second chance at romance. Will Scarlett ever be able to trust JD enough to let him heal her heart? I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.
