Great Country Music Themed Suspense Novel!

Great Country Music Themed Suspense Novel!
“That’s what a good country song is: a story about real things and real people and real emotions, set to a really good tune.”AnnieLynn Keyes has a past that she’s desperately trying to leave behind as she hitchhikes her way from Texas to Nashville. Her dream is to be the next Ruthanna Ryder, one of the queens of country music. She stumbles across an off-Broadway bar in Nashville, Cat’s Paw Saloon, and convinces the bartender to let her play a few songs for the patrons. What she doesn’t know is the bar is owned by Ms. Ryder herself and AnnieLynn has the caught the eye of Ryder’s guitarist, Ethan Blake. While AnnieLynn’s future starts looking brighter when Ruthanna takes notice of her, her past starts catching up to her and tries to drag her back where she came from.Let me preface this by saying I absolutely adore Dolly Parton! When I heard she teamed up with the writing legend that is James Patterson, I couldn’t not read this book! Turns out, Dolly can add darn good writer to her repertoire! Dolly is 💯 Ruthanna Ryder and it comes out through the writing. I can just picture Dolly saying the words of Ruthanna. This book is about a sharp-tongued singer-songwriter who wants to her leave her dark past behind her and to chase her dreams of being a Nashville star. It has the twists of turns of a typical James Patterson novel, sprinkled with some slow burn romance, and set to a whole album full of great country songs written by Dolly herself. I highly recommend this book!

RUN ROSE RUN by Dolly Parton and James Patterson is an exciting suspenseful story of a young singer/songwriter trying to make it in Nashville with a mysterious past that she refuses to share with anyone. It has been a while since I read a book from the prolific Patterson co-author line, but I could not pass up a book co-authored with the fabulous Dolly Parton and I am so glad I didn’t.

AnnieLee Keyes has dreamed of making it Nashville. She writes and sings her own songs, is naturally beautiful and more than willing to put in the work to make it, if only someone will give her a break. She shows up broke, homeless and on the run but when a local bartender finally gives her the chance to sing, she shocks everyone with her talent including Ethan Blake who is sitting at the bar and who plays studio guitar for the bar owner and famous retired country legend Ruthanna Ryder.

Ruthanna takes the feisty and proud AnnieLee under her wing and helps her navigate the music business and Ethan helps with her protection, but AnnieLee still keeps her past a mystery even as her feelings for Ethan grow. When Ethan opens up about his painful past, AnnieLee gives him a small amount of her own past, but not everything. After another attack, AnnieLee runs away back to her hometown to settle the mystery from her past to be able to grab hold of her promising future.

I really enjoyed AnnieLee and her rise from nothing. Her character pulls you in as you follow her from running away to becoming a rising country music star. Later in the book, when you know her complete backstory, her survival is truly heartbreaking, inspirational, and realistic. Ruthanna and Ethan are both fully drawn, and you become as engaged in their personal stories as you do with AnnieLee’s. The plot moves along at a good pace as the reader follows AnnieLee’s rise in the music industry, the mystery of her past and romantic elements with Ethan all coming to a satisfying conclusion.

I really enjoyed this engaging suspense book with a memorable protagonist with a mysterious backstory and romantic elements.

This is the kind of book that you don’t want to put down. When you do, it leaves so many questions. Is it part autobiographical. No ….maybe…oh well time to start researching.
