Nashville - Part One - Ready to Reach

The Year of Sweet Small Reads
Cece Mackenzie has taken off with her dog in her grandma's old car for Nashville to pursue her dream of becoming a country singer. Too bad that the car breaks down. And catches on fire. And her purse and all of her belongings are lost when it blows up. Thank god two cute guys stop to help her and offer her a ride. Oh wait...one of them is kind of a jerk. Will she ever get to Nashville?

“I hear the car explode even as I'm still running flat out. I feel the heat on the backs of my arms. Hank Junior yelps, and we run faster. I trip and roll on the rough surface pavement, my guitar case skittering ahead of me, Hank Junior's leash getting tangled between my legs.

I lie there for a moment, staring up at the blue Tennessee sky, trying to decide if I'm okay. In the next instant, I realize the flouncy cotton skirt Mama made me as a going away present is strangling my waist, and Hank Junior's head is splayed across my belly, his leash wrapped tight around my left leg.”

When Holden meets Cece he thinks she may as well be named “Calamity Cece” in his mind. She's a curse for Thomas and Holden who are moving to Nashville for their career. This first part in the serial is a cute introduction to the characters and reminds me of the “Nashville” TV series. All of these talented people just want to catch their big break. I enjoyed the beginning and definitely want to read more about these characters.

I know this is a short but sweet beginning and will read the next part in this series to find out if this trio has what it takes to make it in Nashville. I'm crossing my fingers that they will get themselves a record contract and be on their way! I have been busy reading so I have also read part two and am working on part three.
