This is a book that mixes wonderfully country music and the LGBTIQIA community in an excellent way with two male leads, Emmett who dreams of being a famous queer Country music star (something in the story is deemed near on impossible) and Luke who hates Country music with every fibre of his being. I enjoyed how you get their story from both perspectives and the reader is treated to little insights from the young men as their perspective is told.

Brian D. Kennedy brings the world of A Little Bit of Country and with him being a lover of Dolly Parton cokes through with the fictional Country music star who's the idol of Emmett; Wanda Jean Stubbs. I just love the slight comparisons in the character portrayal of Wanda with her larger-than-life personality and of course the theme park!

Emmett and Luke's love story unfolds from the initial (very large) spark of curiosity and desire at first meeting to their realisation that they've found their missing piece in one another and I loved every moment of it. They're both adorable and in their unique way, both need a big ol' hug and reassurance that it's more than okay to fight for what they want over what others demand of them.

Alongside their love story, is a mystery from the past involving Wanda Jean and Luke's late grandmother, Verna Rose and it weaves its way into the boys' lives as they try to understand why the two ladies fell out and that alone could have been a story in itself.

If you want a HEA with some angst along the way with a load of Country music thrown into the mix with that Southern hospitality that seems to be synonymous with Nashville and every TV show set there? This is for you.
