Another standalone Starstruck romance from the HarperCollins author who brought you Amazon #1 bestseller Before He Was Famous and Before He Was Gone
“What if we can’t choose
Every battle we win and lose
What if we decided years before, to live this life, to fight these wars
And all the dreams we ever thought were ours
Were written in the stars”
Waiting tables isn’t exactly what singer/songwriter Stephanie has in mind for her move to Nashville, but memories of the past and a case of writer’s block mean inspiration isn’t coming easy. When brooding pianist Conor Judge opens his mouth in a smoky bar he proves music can heal, and even help you re-write your story, but a history of his own means the one thing he starts to want most is always just out of reach. Stephanie.
Enter Travis Flynn – an upcoming star who won’t take no for an answer, and a record label intent on helping Stephanie shine, without Conor. As fame comes knocking as hard as the ghosts of their pasts, it soon becomes clear that no matter how hard you might fall in love, having the perfect songs doesn’t always mean perfect harmony.

Before He Was A Secret was a tantalizing tale of love found through the love of music, but also both trying to let go of their pasts and make something of their futures. I would give this book a 4 star and would definitely recommend to others. This is third book in the Starstruck series but can be read as a standalone. The other books in this series are Before He was Famous and Before He was Gone both of these books were really good as well. This book is Stephanie and Conor's book who were friends first but fought off there chemistry that was brewing as long as they could until it exploded into something amazing.
Stephanie is moved to Nashville to try and make something out of her music career, she is semi famous because of a reality T.V. show she was apart of and she found that it was the biggest mistake of her life. Now she is trying to pick up the pieces and help her family so they don't loose there house. When she meets Conor she will find they work well together as artists but can they work together as a couple? One problem Conor has a long time girlfriend but secretly he is pining away for Stephanie. When he makes a decision to end this with his girlfriend it will be eye opening for him, but his family is holding him back from telling everyone that it ended.
Will these 2 get together finally get together? Or will it just be there love of music that they will share? With twists and fate coming into play they will struggle with what is right and wrong but in the end it will all come down to one song.
Go pick up this series you will not be disappointed! I will be following Becky Wicks for a long time to come!
