~ Synopsis ~

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?

~ Excerpt ~
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. 
Travis.
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.

Good Girls Don't Date Rock Stars (Rock Canyon Romance #2) by Codi Gary

Gemma Carlson is a young mother. She is getting a child-free weekend in Vegas to attend a book event. The last thing she expected was to see the love of her life Travis Bowers again.

Travis Bowers is a country singer. He is famous and he could have any girl he wants. To his surprise, he seems to want the girl that broke his heart.

When Travis bumps into Gemma in Las Vegas, he knows this is his chance to spend time with her and maybe rekindle their love.
The last thing either expected was to wake up married.

“Usually when Cinderella ditches the prince, she leaves behind a shoe.”

This is a sweet story that I enjoyed reading. It was fast paced and the angst was minimum.
Both characters were well developed and very likable.
I didn't know this was the second book when I started reading it but it can be read as a standalone.

"I came here to tell you that I’m ready. I’m all in, if you’ll have me, because if you won’t, I’m going to be alone for the rest of my life. No one could ever love me the way you do. You’ve forgiven me when other people wouldn’t, you’ve loved me when I couldn’t even love myself, and you’ve shown me that some things are worth fighting for."

I do need to go back and read the first in this series.
An added bonus was that there is no cheating and no cliffhanger.

“We share a bittersweet past and a roller-coaster present, but I have a good feeling that the future is going to be a smoother ride."
