I have always enjoyed Mandy Baggot’s books. She has a very strong style of writing and her plot lines are never dull. ‘Strings Attached’ has always been one of my favourite books by Mandy, that was until I read MADE IN NASHVILLE. I enjoyed every word of it.
Jared Marshall, Mr Bad Boy, who is actually Mr Good Guy, is to die for. I loved the rogue element to him, yet was safe in the knowledge that underneath it all, he was full of morals and a sense of doing the right thing.
Honor Blackwood was equally engaging. Her character really developed through the story and she came out the other side a changed woman.
The backdrop to the story was Nashville and I really felt the whole Rock/C&W scene going on through the story. Usually, I don’t like to see the written word exactly how it is spoken by dropping ‘g’ at the end of words like ‘doing’ or such like. In the past I have found it distracting and to break my reading, however, this wasn’t the case with Made in Nashville. It really gave a depth to Jared’s persona and drew me even deeper into the book and the setting.
Another great novel from Mandy Baggot!

Thank you for having me ladies and what a wonderful review from Sue! I had a feeling she might fall in love with Jared!

Read Cormac McCarthy and see the words written as spoken ‘so y’all know bout it and y’all preciate it’ It immediately takes you right there… ‘I’m fixin to cut off this here animal’s head, it dont look too good to me. It bettern be properly dead I’m thinkin’.
Go for it Mandy Baggot, and good luck!!
