Synopsis (from Amazon)
Bree Matthews has always had two dreams:
① To become a famous country singer
② To marry Trent Walker
Bree and Trent grew up together as good friends. College, life, and a million other things come between them, and even though they’ve come close to giving love a try, by the time Bree’s on the brink of musical success in Nashville, she’s lost track of the man she once dreamed would be the one.
When an old friend begs Bree to sing at her sister’s wedding, Bree’s in for a huge surprise. The groom is none other than her first love—Trent!
Convinced she’s capable of sticking it out, Bree decides to follow through with her obligations and sing at Trent’s wedding, but as secrets come to light, she begins to realize the bride isn’t good enough for him. Will Bree tell Trent the truth in time to stop the wedding? Will he believe her?
Is Trent truly meant to marry Bree?
If you love romances with lots of twists and turns and plenty of opportunities to suspend belief, then you’ll love this new series, Nashville Country Dreams, originally written as a fast-paced, page turning webseries.
Review
This was a fun read, great for a change of pace. Bree is smart and ambitious, slowly climbing her dream ladder to be a professional musician. When it comes to her singing, she has no bounds. Her "flaw" is her love of Trent, her best friend. Only they never seem to cross that bridge from friendship. Enter Hank, another old friend who has impeccably bad timing and his own issues. Out of college and in Nashville, when Lily calls and asks her to sing at her sister's wedding at the last minute, she agrees.
The story flows and it's obvious there's something brewing, other than Bree's angst when she discovers the groom is Trent. Relationships and insecurities abound amidst the weeklong wedding preparation with Bridezilla particularly nasty. Well-written, this should appeal particularly to new adult readers and those of us who still think about that boy from high school and wonder, what if... This is the first of two in this series. The second is now on my TBR list.
