Stage Fright
by Kate Lloyd
| -From Goodreads- Jessica Nash loves to sing but is paralyzed every time she gets on stage. After blowing an excruciating audition, she wonders if she should give up on her dream. She’s already committed to a weeklong choral tour of England with her church choir, though, and as a single mom with a limited income, this might be her only chance to travel. The trip gets off to a rocky start when Jessica has to sit next to Martin, a once-famous British tenor whose career plummeted in a scandal, on the flight to London. Is it her imagination, or does he seem to aim his bitterness toward womankind specifically at Jessica? And to make things worse, once they arrive Jessica discovers she has to room with the choir’s thorny lead soprano. When Nick, their handsome tour guide, takes a special interest in showing Jessica the sights, things finally seem to be falling into place. She starts to relax and let herself be wooed against the backdrop of the charming English countryside. But is she ready to give him as much as he’s asking for? Things aren’t as simple as they seem. Almost every person on the tour, it seems, is hiding a secret, and before her English holiday is over Jessica will find herself stretched and tested in every direction—including the soloist’s place center stage. ASIN: B08D9WZS9T It started out as a simple trip to England... |  This Book received a 4 Bark rating.

I've read several of Kate Lloyd's Amish novels, and I liked them, so when she came out with a novel in a new genre I was eager to check it out. That new book was, of course, Stage Fright. And I'll tell you right off that I was not disappointed at all.
I fell for Jessica and all of her insecurities and flaws right off. And her friend Roxanne was the friend we all wish we had. The two possible love interests were, at least to me, very unprepossessing. As in, I was not favorably impressed with either one of them. At least for awhile anyway...
I really liked Kate Lloyd's voice in this story. She had that delicate balance between blunt honesty and Christian, well, morality, down pat. It made the story so much more relatable and, in my opinion, flat out more enjoyable. I also loved that Stage Fright was a cross between women's fiction, romance, and even a surprising bit of suspense near the end.
Stage Fright may have been a different genre than usual for Kate Lloyd, but, in my opinion, she aced it and I wouldn't hesitate to read any of her books whether they are Amish or not. Now I just have to impatiently wait to find out what she has next in store for readers...
