Made in Nashville. Mandy BaggotReview from Jeannie Zelos Book reviews.By now Mandy has become one of my auto read authors, I just know I’ll get a romance that's well written and plotted, and has lots of emotion and drama and that's what I need to enjoy contemporary romance. Not just a sweet boy meets girl HEA, but a story with highs and lows, full of emotion and angst.So Honor, what an awful thing to happen when she was so young, and just having tasted success. Not only was the attack horrific but her then boyfriend dumped her, and her confidence plummeted. Its now ten years later, and her agent and record label want to release a greatest hits album. She's not sure she's ready for the publicity, and then...Country star Jared hears her singing to herself in the store, when she thinks she's alone. He wants her on his tour, he thinks she's got the voice of an angel and also...there's a strange attraction he didn't expect, doesn't need at this point and yet can't seem to let go of. Honor becomes more and more important to him, and along the way they meets her ex, who's just been signed by her label and her agent, and seems to be manipulating things his way, she gets a stalker that erodes her confidence even more, secrets from her past come out and … there's a huge mystery that breaks in the press that Jared can't or won't explain and takes their fledgling but intensely hot and steamy romance to the very brink. She's left again not knowing who she can trust and her self confidence is tested once again.Once more Mandy delivers an excellent story, with just the right amount of danger and angst to balance the wonderful love story that's growing. I can't do sweet, sweet, sweet, I need some grit – a bit the way the oyster does to make the pearl. Another book I really enjoyed reading, and would be happy to re read. Great characters, intense drama and action and incredible hot erotic but well written sex scenes. Whats not to love? Great price at 1.99 for 306 pages.Stars: five,  sensual romance tied up in a lovely and engrossing story.ARC supplied by Netgalley.
