⭐⭐⭐✰✰

She's a star on the rise, singing about the hard life behind her.

She's also on the run. Find a future, lose a past.

AnnieLee has run away to Nashville determined to become a country music star. When a studio musician for the world-famous, and retired, Ruthanna Ryder, hears her perform in Ruthanna's bar, he knows she has something special and makes sure Ruthanna knows it too. After Ruthanna takes AnnieLee under her wing, the past she ran away from comes back to haunt her.

This book was a little slow at the beginning but got more exciting toward the middle. My biggest complaint about this book is that the ending was rather short and abrupt after all the build-up throughout the book.

AnnieLee Keyes (aka Rose) is an aspiring country music artist. She arrives in Nashville, Tennessee with little to her name and nowhere to stay. She soon meets Ethan Blake at the Cat's Paw bar owned by Ruthanna Ryder, who is a retired country music superstar. Secrets of AnnieLee's past are very slowly revealed through the story as she becomes an up-and-coming country music superstar, thanks to Ethan and Ruthanna. Will the secrets of AnnieLee's past get in the way of her rising stardom? Who is AnnieLee really? This is a somewhat suspenseful read, but it's a bit slow until the very end. I liked it, but would give it 3 out of 5 stars.
