My Review:
I'm not quite halfway through the book, but I think this is one I'm going to like. This is the first book I've read by Rachel Hauck, but if you visit her site, you'll see she's published through Steeple Hill, Heartsong, Westbow and Barbour. I can tell you, she's an accomplished writer and an author I'll definitely add to my "To Be Read" list.
Okay - here's what I think:
Diva NashVegas' characters are real life. From the opening chapter, I could feel what it was like being onstage with Aubrey James at the CMA Fest. I can feel her slight dissatisfaction with her fiancee through her subtle actions. The character of Scott, seems to be like the All-American, sports-minded male. Aubrey seems to be the starlet we all wished we were friends with. I imagine a Carrie Underwood type, fast forward a few years.

I'll be finished with Diva NashVegas in a few days. Check back with me then and I'll post my complete review.
