"Lost in NashVegas" tells the story of Robin, the girl with music living inside of her. She's a born songwriter but her terrible stage fright has kept her singing at home rather than on the big stage. Now at age 25 with a boyfriend who is ready to settle down, Robin figures that the time to give Nashville a try is either now or never and jets off to the land of musical opportunity.

Just because she's decided to face her fear it doesn't mean it has gone away. Robin has a stru More...

Picked this up at the library this summer. The "Lost in Nash Vegas" title and cover art (reminiscent of the Melissa Etheridge album cover) appealed to me. (Yes, I do judge books by their covers. So what?) Anyway, didn't know until I got home that it was Christian "chick lit". It's published by a subsidiary of Thomas Nelson publishers (they publish Bibles) based in, of course, Nashville.

Robin Rae MacAfee & Lee Rivers
She's a songwriter in Freedom AL who moves to Nashville. Finds out she's a music row label owner's daughter. She has stage fright and keeps running away. Love story isn't the central focus of the book.

Gosh, I hope my little red-headed daughter turns out like this heroine! She knows what she wants and uses her head instead of just her heart. She's sassy and funny and smart. Good book and you really feel like you are buddies with her by the end!

Funny. It was better than I expected. The whole Southern angle (complete with expressions and accents) might be a little annoying to some, but the author handled it in a way that was enduringly serious not corny.

Great story with humor about facing our fears. Loved the way she wove God through the book in a realistic way. Highly recommend!

I didn't finish, becuase it just wasn't interesting to me and Robin got on my nerves.

Besides the erroneous and insulting depiction of those who might use antidepressants, it was cliched writing. I liked it much better when it was called "Coyote Ugly".

I really enjoyed this book about a songwriter navigating her way in Nashville. The characters were engaging, and I even laughed out loud a couple of times, which I don't do often when reading. Fun read.
