Discovering Jillian
Bucket list item #1 - Get arrested! ✔️
Jillian Montgomery loves her job as a police officer. She just bought her first house - a fixer-upper, and she scored a date with a very interesting and incredibly attractive man.
Her life is on a roll—or so she thought. Then everything comes crashing down...
Jillian loses her job helping country music legend, Tessa Starr, check a unique item off of her bucket list. And the very interesting and incredibly attractive man she had a date with, happens to be Tessa’s grandson, and the person who got her fired. But wait, there’s more! Foundation issues have forced her to move out of her beloved house.
Jackson Starr is an influential music manager who makes singers' dreams come true. When an over-eager cop arrests his grandmother, he takes action without knowing the whole story. Even after getting Jillian fired, the determined woman agrees to help his grandmother complete her bucket list. Something about the cop living on his property tugs at his heart, and he can’t help but want to make her dreams come true, too.
Working with Tessa repeatedly puts Jillian in Jackson’s path, and the more she learns about the over-protective man, the more she starts to understand and care for him. Would he be willing to help her tick off the biggest item on her own bucket list—singing in front of a large crowd?
Can Jackson help Jillian make her dream come true, knowing he could lose the only woman he’s ever loved? Does he love her enough to let her go? Or will love find a way to make all their dreams come true?

What a great story!
As an ARC reader, l got this book in advance,
here is my honest opinion.
This was a great story about Jillian and Jackson. It's not your standard love story, but that's what made it a fun read. The plottwist, at the end, kept me reading until late in the evening, past my bedtime.
I loved how the author describes the scenes, and l could smell the food! Grandma Tessa was a wonderful lady, oh my goodness!
I have read the 3 books before this one in the Nashville Hearts Series. It was great to get back together with the characters from those books, as if reconnecting with old friends. And, although it is not necessary to read the other books it sure was helpful and fun!
If you're looking for an easy, feel-good story, this is the book for you!

Discovering Jillian is book #3 by Becki Lee in her Nashville Hearts series. You can read each one of these books as a standalone novel. It was a fun read with so many surprises for anyone having a bucket list. Had me laughing and giggling so many times. Wonderful and quick to read with lovable characters. You never know who comes in your path that rocks your world in a positive way! Thank you Becki for a great series!

This book is a fun read and kept my interest.
Hilarious adventures and romance. The characters are likable and other characters from the first two books are mentioned.
A book about friendship, family, adventure and romance. Very well written.

Jillian's story didn't disappoint!! Jackson aka Tex has his hands full with his grandma. Jillian and Jackson are just making plans for their first scheduled date when he gets a call that his grandmother needs him to come pick her up from jail. What cop arrested his grandmother for having a party at her own house? Grandma Tessa talks Jillian into helping her complete a joint bucket list. Who knew that the police or security would get involved for almost every item of the Grandma's? What's on Jillian's bucket list? How does Jackson get involved? Will they complete their bucket lists together?

Sweet romance, fun locations, great details, and laugh-out-loud moments make this book a must-read!
In Discovering Jillian we get to travel beyond Nashville, stopping in DC and Italy. Becki Lee’s great sense of place has you feeling like you are really there with the characters. Also, Tessa Starr plays a big part in this book and it’s fun to get more of her backstory and personality.
I have enjoyed the entire Nashville Hearts series. Any of them could be read as a standalone but you really should read them all!

entertaining chaos
I´m usually not a big fan of celebrities but I just loved this book: all the chaos going on, well meaning efforts to help turning into disaster, being fascinated and drawn to a person that makes you roll your eyes constantly and to make the combination perfect a grandmother prone to mischief.
I received this book as a review copy.

I loved this one! The series is great but I think Jillian is my favorite. The characters are all lovable and intermixed from the other books in the series. I loved the bucket list and all the shenanigans related to it. I could not put this one down and I can’t wait for another from Becki! I definitely recommend this book!
