    内容简介

    Lindsey Scott and Wes Bailey are reluctant partners in a New Orleans dueling pianos/singing act, they performing primarily in a Bourbon Street lounge in the approach to Christmas. That reluctance is due to each being the antithesis of the other: Lindsey is hard working and classically trained and as such is always seeking perfection in her meticulous plans, while Wes is more relaxed and carefree. He has a greater ability to improvise being a jazz aficionado, and that general relaxed nature makes him outwardly more affable and approachable, which bothers Lindsey in he generally getting more attention than her. That's why Wes naturally has more connections in the business, like a friend of his currently being on tour with one of Lindsey's favorite singers, country star Cassie. And that's why Wes doesn't want to tell Lindsey that he has been offered a job on a nine month tour with with a rock s{Ziyuantun.Com}inger by the manager Lindsey brought in to watch them perform in hoping to sign them or at least her as an act. When their last gig of the year just days before Christmas is canceled at the last minute leaving Lindsey without sufficient funds for a flight to head to her hometown just outside of Akron for Christmas - it more important this year as her sister Allie is due with her first baby just on the other side of New Year's - Wes, just learning that he grew up in a neighboring town from her and too wants to head home for the holidays, suggests that they make what would be the fifteen hour straight through drive together. With the thought of not being home for Christmas the only thing worse than spending fifteen hours with Wes, Lindsey, with no other option, reluctantly agrees. On the road trip, they hit one detour after another - some agreed upon, some bad circumstances - which in combination may threaten them making it to their respective homes for Christmas. But in the process, they have to spend extra time together, which allows them truly to get to know and fall for each other, one of the questions being if they can admit that to themselves and to each other. The situation is further complicated by Wes' upcoming new job on tour without her.   译文(3): 林赛·斯科特(Lindsey Scott)和韦斯·贝利(Wes Bailey)是新奥尔良钢琴/歌唱表演中的勉强搭档,他们主要在临近圣诞节的波旁街休息室表{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。这种不情愿是因为两者都是对立的:林赛工作努力,受过古典训练,因此她总是在一丝不苟的计划中寻求完美,而韦斯则更加放松和无忧无虑。作为一个爵士迷,他有更大的即兴发挥的能力,而且一般的放松天性使他外表上更加和蔼可亲,这让林赛感到困扰,因为他通常比她更受关注。这就是为什么韦斯在这个行业自然有更多的人脉,比如他的一个朋友,目前正在与林赛最喜欢的歌手之一乡村明星卡西进行巡演。这就是为什么韦斯不想告诉林赛,他被一位摇滚歌手邀请参加为期九个月的巡演,由林赛经理带去观看他们的表演,希望签下他们,或者至少签下她作为演员。当他们在圣诞节前几天的最后一场演出在最后一刻被取消时,林赛没有足够的资金飞往她在阿克伦郊外的家乡过圣诞节——今年更重要的是,她的妹妹艾莉即将在新年的另一边怀上她的第一个孩子——韦斯,刚从她那里得知他在邻近的一个小镇长大,也想回家度假,这就意味着他们要一起开车15个小时。想到圣诞节不回家是唯一比和韦斯一起度过15个小时更糟糕的事,林赛没有其他选择,勉强同意了。在路上,他们走了一条又一条弯路——有些是商定的,有些是恶劣的环境——这两者结合起来可能会威胁他们去各自的家过圣诞节。但在这个过程中,他们必须花更多的时间在一起,这让他们真正了解并爱上对方,其中一个问题是,他们能否向自己和对方承认这一点。韦斯即将在没有她的巡回演出中获得新工作,这使情况更加复杂。
