I thoroughly enjoyed every page of Nashville Gold. From the very beginning, the author had me hooked. Being from Texas, this book really touched me the way the author described the beautiful Texas Hill Country, the horseracing scene, and while I don't personally know too much about the country music industry, it was clear the author does! The characters were so believable and so real, I was very attached to them (the good guys at least!) by the end of the book and really hated to see the book end! I hope there's going to be a follow up to Nashville Gold because I wasn't through reading when the book was over!

Nashville Gold starts with a bang and never skips a beat. You'll be hooked from page one. I only hope there's a sequel.

A MUST read! The characters are so well written it's as if they are real, rather than fiction. The author describes in vivid detail the area of Texas which I grew up & I can still see now through the vision of his writing. I tried repeatedly to put the book down, but was unable to lose the grip which was necessary to keep it from slipping from my hands in between the hysterical laughter and sobbing tears.
Definitely a book that will make you fall in love with the characters, their stories, and the wonderful Texas ways of life.
I can't wait for a sequel! I will be standing in line to buy copies for everyone I know!

How delightful to find a book that has it all! The characters are all so real-I felt their pain and shared in their joys.
The story flows so smoothly-I warn you-there is no place in the book that you can put it down! Don't start it unless you have time to stay with it because you will be hooked, as I was.
My only problem with the book is that it ended too soon. I MUST know what happens to these new friends!

Country music, horse racing, and the beautiful Texas hill country set the scene of Dekker Malone's Nashville Gold. A surprised Payne McCarty hears country music's hottest singer, Rusti King singing the song he wrote on the radio. Payne and his horse jockey best friend, Skeeter head to Nashville to the offices of Sure-Star Publishing to find out why they stole Payne's song. Before he can get an answer from unprincipled publisher Roger Durwood, Durwood has Payne arrested and thrown into county jail where he spends ten miserable days for assault. Dekker Malone has given the characters distinctive personalities that provide the book with its charm. Those who aren't fans of country music and Texas cowboys should still take a look at the book. Though I'm a Texan, I'm no fan of country music. We city types are constantly trying to prove we're not all "cowboys" and "country," but at least readers can get an inside look at the picturesque Texas country. Finishing the book leaves the reader wanting more of these likeable folks and happy to know that Malone has a sequel called KENTUCKY ROSES. The book receives an old-fashioned Texas yee-haw to Dekker Malone for striking gold with his first book.
