My Review:
Honor was once a bright country singer, but now she's a twenty-eight year old woman who has been broken. After an attack ten years earlier that left her scarred and several operations to repair the damage, Honor became an Agoraphobic. Afraid to face the public after the attack left her disfigured, Honor settles for working in a small music store.
With her fears at an all time high, Honor is scared to put her music back out in to the world so as she writes lyrics she puts them into a drawer and hides them away much like she hides herself away.
Jared 'Jed' Marshall is topping the charts as a country musician. Gearing up for his tour, Jared is looking for a supporting act. When he hears an angelic voice across the radio, he knows he needs the angel who sings that song. Jared is determined to get Honor to go on tour with him although Honor refuses.
When Jared begins to realize how broken Honor truly is, he realizes it's no longer about wanting Honor for the tour, it's about wanting Honor herself. Will love be enough to heal Honor's scars and get her back into the spotlight?
Author Mandy Baggot's 'Made in Nashville' is beautifully written. Full of grief, passion, and love Made with Nashville has readers falling in love with this book and with the characters. Honor has been through hell the last ten years, but when Jared walks into her life he gives her the strength she has needed to begin to move on. Honor is one of the strongest, bravest characters I've had the pleasure of reading about before. She's an angel with a broken wing.
Jared is an amazing musician resolved to being a serial bachelor. When he hears Honor's song he thinks she's an angel and upon meeting her and realizing how broken he is, he still believes in her and what she could do if she freed herself from the past. Jared is the strength Honor needs and he supports and guides her every step of the way.
The relationship between these two characters was sweet, passionate, and you could feel the chemistry between the two from the very first meeting.
Made in Nashville was my first country music scene romance which is just a crime if you ask me, since I love country music. I absolutely loved this book and believe it is a must read for all romance lovers out there. With that being said, I give Made in Nashville 5 stars.
