100th read of 2020!! 🥳This was a quick cutesy story of a girl who can sing, making it big by touring with a boy who can sing. They’re both country artists, so there are some country life things thrown in there. Kinda predictable... 😬 Pure Country. A Star Is Born. Country Strong. There’s a tear in my beer.... and country artists have a lot of baggage. 🤷🏼♀️ I can’t say it’s the best I’ve read, but not the worst either. 😊
3.5 StarsCW: (view spoiler)[Drug overdose resulting in death of mother, grief stricken father commits suicide, excessive drug and alcohol use by other characters (hide spoiler)]Well this book ended up being less cute and fluffy and more damaged and heartbroken than I was expecting. It took me a while to get into the story but overall I enjoyed it. It could have done with a wee edit as I think it felt longer than the story warranted. The romance wasn't super swoon worthy but I really liked Jeffer...
❥ 4.5 / 5 starsBut if I close my eyesAnd wish it all awayPretend I'm someone else,Pretend I'm here to stayGave us half a chance,Let my stupid heart decideThere's no doubt in my mind, You'd be mineWOW. This book is really GREAT and completely beyond my expectation. I’m so in love with it that I want to read the second book from Erin Hahn today or tomorrow. 😍🥰
You’d Be Mine by Erin Hahn is a young adult contemporary romance that takes readers behind the scenes of the world of county music. It’s a bit of an opposites attract where the bad boy isn’t really as bad as he pretends to be.Annie Mathers isn’t too sure of stepping into the spotlight in the country music industry after what happened to her parents. Both music legends themselves Annie’s parents fell victims to the dark side of the industry and it cost them their lives leaving Annie alone in the
This one opens with a bang and sucks you right into the life of Clay, teen country music sensation who’s waking up after a bad night and a bar fight. And now his agent and his label are pissed. I was immediately captured by Erin Hahn’s fun voice and also her quick no-nonsense storytelling. Clay’s label tells him he has to convince Annie Mathers, the daughter of country sensations (recently deceased) to come on tour with him if he wants to continue playing. I loved the small scenes in this one, t...
Obviously, I've already written, read and loved this book... but I just wanted to say that I sincerely hope everyone who takes the time to read Annie and Clay's story finds something of themselves in it. You honor me with your support and curiosity and I can't wait to share my country music kids with all of you! <3
4.5 starsOh wow!!!!This book was way more than I expected. And it was so much more than I could have hoped for. I was feeling this giddiness, happiness, and an all around enchantment I haven't felt in a long time.2018 has been a year of wonderful debut novels. I found so many new authors to keep an eye on, and I'm thrilled that Erin Hahn is one of them.The rockstar genre has been a favorite genre of mine, and I think a young adult novel about two country singers fits nicely into this category.Be...
A sugar sweet romance cupped in the hands of tragedy.This story went a lot deeper than I anticipated but I hella enjoyed it!There's a little Johnny and June in all of us.Full review to come...stay tuned.
I was fortunate enough to read an early draft of this book and I absolutely loved it!You’d Be Mine is my favorite kind of YA contemporary: witty, charming, uplifting, and off-the-charts swoony, but with enough tension and challenges to keep the story grounded in reality. Annie is country music royalty and a reluctant rising star, signed to Nashville party boy Clay’s summer tour to help rehabilitate his image. They’re both playing a role, but their hidden depths, dreams, and complicated back stor...
Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for a digital galley in exchange for an honest review. 5 Nashville stars for the new Johnny and June! I realize that I am not the target audience for this YA country music romance. Then again, I am not the target audience for Riverdale or Pretty Little Liars, but I love those too! Terrific characters, great storyline, and music lyrics that I wish were on Spotify so I could download them. Annie is trying to make her own way on the country music scene
I loved the synopsis of this one and had heard from a few friends that it was great. Sadly, it was not the cute and fluffy contemp I was expecting. I liked Annie and Clay well enough. They’re both stronger and more resilient than they think. There were qualifiers constantly used for the secondary characters and with a pretty small group, it felt unnecessary and clunky and no one really stood out. Plot wise, I was bored. The shows were repetitive and I skipped over all of the song lyrics. I did l...
Be still my music- and drama-loving heart!!In Erin Hahn's You'd Be Mine , Clay Coolidge is one of the hottest young country music stars out there. Sexy and talented, he’s perfected the frat-boy, everyone-have-fun, check-out-the-pretty-girls type of music that has netted him a Grammy for Best New Artist, and has crowds following his every move, especially women, despite his only being 18.But Clay’s fun-loving style barely hides his drinking problem, his emotional issues that push anyone away w...

Happy pub day week to this book! Check out my blog tour via instagram today for this all those that follow me there :). You'd Be Mine is such a sweet and charming YA novel!! I finished this book in a little over one day!! Let's meet Annie and Clay. Two young and upcoming country stars that have their own inner demons and challenges to overcome in this journey called life. What I really loved about this one? It wasn't all that cheesy romance scenes between teenagers... it went so much more deeper...
You'd Be Mine is a story about two teenage, popular country music singers Annie Mathers and Jefferson (Clay) Coolidge who are dealing with their own respective inner demons and tragic pasts--Annie is trying to get out of the shadows of her famous country music singing duo parents and their volatile marriage and violent death while Clay is angry with his elder brother for going off to war and dying in the ine of duty. Both are exceptionally gifted singers and when Clay gets into another violent r...
A sweet love story lively with swoon and swagger! Erin Hahn’s debut is a lively heart warming contemporary YA romance. The kind of book that puts a BIG smile on your face! The thing I really like about young adult romance is how innocent it is; how everything is just so exaggerated, because it is the first time these characters have ever felt this way. I guess I appreciate that the characters have not been jaded yet and I can forgive them their naïveté because they are young. Perhaps I long for
This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.This was a wonderful romance! I went into this book without a whole lot of expectations. I picked this book up largely because it sounded somewhat original. I don't remember ever seeing another book about a pair of young adult country music stars so I decided to give it a chance. That risk worked out pretty well. This was one of those books that sucked you in and didn't let go. I just had a great time with this book.Annie is the daug...
Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/You’d Be Mine showed up as a surprise “I think you’ll love it” in a box of ARCs from St. Martin’s Press. My initial reaction was . . . . I mean, for real. I’m the worst. Which is why I try to be very selective when it comes to reader copies and only request/accept things I think I’ll love. YA romance? Yikes. I’m not always so good at reading those. Buuuuuuuuuuut, sometimes you just know you’re gonna be okay right from the jump. The...
DNFI don't normally write a review for books I DNF, but I came pretty close to the end so I'm going to sum up my dislikes as briefly as possible. This is the author's debut book, and sometimes that comes through in the writing, sometimes it's indiscernible. Unfortunately for me, the writing was just average, and failed to garner any excitement. The synopsis sounded promising, if a bit cliché. Two teen musicians on tour, discovering an attraction for each other as they deal with the ups and downs...
2.5 starsI thought for sure when I read the synopsis this was going to be a great read for me. I normally love stories revolving around the entertainment field, in this case the country music industry, I like romances and well-developed characters with interesting backstories. And while this book had those elements, I found myself bored for so much of the story. There was only one brief moment towards the end I felt any type of emotional connection to the characters. Given so many of the early r...
