Lost in Nashvegas
by Rachel Hauk
Review by Laura V. Hilton

Robin Rae has always dreamed of being a song writer/singer. She’s got the voice of an angel. Only problem is, she’s afraid to sing in front of people. At least until the triplets fall through the stage at the Freedom, Alabama music hall. Then, to save her friends embarrassment, she gets up on the stage and sings. Her song is received well, and so Robin Rae decides its time to spread her wings and fly—to Nashville, Tennessee.

First step, break up with Ricky, her hometown hero who wants to make her queen of his double wide. Second step, inform the family—harder than it sounds, especially since Mama is all for Robin Rae’s little sister going off England, but strangely against Robin Rae going a mere two hours away to Nashville. Third step, quit her job at the local grocery store and load pick up.

At first, Nashville is a big adventure. Robin Rae is quick to make new friends, but when she lands her first gig she’s ready to run. Will Robin Rae find the strength she needs to pursue life in Nashville, or will she run home to Ricky?

LOST IN NASHVEGAS is a fun, southern chick lit about a loveable girl with downhome family, sweet as anything, and never met a stranger. Robin Rae takes that friendly attitude with her into Nashville, and even a stranger stranded on the highway is an instant friend. I couldn’t help but wish Robin Rae the best as she ventured into her new life, though I understood her mama’s concerns too.

There are some original lyrics included in LOST IN NASHVEGAS which sound like they’d be lovely songs. I would have liked to know the music to some of them. The faith message is woven in flawlessly, and the characters are loveable. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book. Fans of Music City, USA, chicklit, and of Rachel Hauck will not want to miss LOST IN NASHVEGAS. $14.99. 315 pages.
