Among them, a successful career in Nashville and finding the love of a lifetime in each other.

About the author
Inglath Cooper
63 books934 followersVirginia author Inglath Cooper fell in love with reading as a little girl, devouring most of the books in her elementary school library. At some point, she decided she wanted to pursue a writing career, creating romance fiction that did for others what her favorite books have done for her. “I love character-driven books that leave me feeling as if I’ve really known these people and make me wish I didn’t have to turn the last page.”
“Romance fiction has always appealed to me because it deals with so many of the relationships in a woman’s life. Not only the love of her life, but often her relationship with her mother, sister or best friend. Romance authors have so much room to explore many of the meaningful moments and transitions in women’s lives. And who doesn’t love a good love story?”
Inglath most often writes stories about love and life that are set in small Virginia towns like the one where she grew up. “I like to think the flavor of my hometown shows up in my books both in their setting and through the characters who people it.”
When aspiring writers ask her how to be an author, she says, “Everything I know about writing books I learned from reading books.”
Inglath has been chosen as a RITA® Award winner for best long contemporary romance novel given out each year by Romance Writers of America. Her books are available through Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, itunes.com, and Kobobooks.com.
Outside of writing, Inglath is actively involved in dog rescue, working with The Franklin County Humane Society to place dogs and cats in need of rehoming. She volunteers her time in every capacity possible: serving on the Board of Directors, fundraising, photographing dogs and cats available for adoption and serving as a foster home. “Helping an abused or neglected dog go on to have a wonderful life with a family who loves them is more rewarding than I can possibly say.”

I was hooked when I read book one, but I never thought we would be on book ten with the same story and characters. Yes I love CeeCee, Holden and Thomas and yes I want there story, but now I would love a conclusion.
This book CeeCee and Holden's love and marriage is tested yet again when she goes overseas with Jacob another country music star. Holden is not happy but CeeCee goes anyway, she wants to help with the orphanage but things don't go smooth and CeeCee and Jacob are in danger.
And yes I will say it, when there is book 11 I will probably buy it. This series is expensive.

This final installment of the Nashville series was one of the best but I felt like every tragedy that could fit into a few chapters happened here. The part about the orphanage pulled at the heartstrings. Then there was a kidnapping and a sick baby. Everything known to pull a reader in was used in this series. There was love, fans, music, success, stalkers, orphans, dogs, weddings, and tragedy. I'm glad I finished the series, just not totally sure I'm glad I started it.

4 for story,2 for writing
This "10- book series" is really just one, at best 2, books. It wavers from I introduction to semi- climax repeat oops, cliff-hanger..bang! End of book, download the next. Repeat this frustrating process with no real conclusion until end of book 10 while the author tries to cover e very disaster possible for an entertainer. Irritating and exhausting. Inflate Cooper has written some interesting stories, but I am taking a vacation from her. Thank goodness I read it on Kindle Unlimited and did not buy 10 books to read one story!

Nashville books
Interesting. Stories too short. Should have incorporated several books for a better story line. Otherwise ok. Bought all 10, but they could have been done in 4-5 books.

Not the best
I read all the books in this series and this one was the most naive. I know everybody wants to know what will happen with CiCi and Holden, but don't expect too much

Awesome read...
From the very beginning it was always Holden and CeCe and this book goes on to prove it. What a great couple written by a great author.

Not Without You: Nashville ten is by Ingath Cooper. This is the last of the books about the Barefoot Outlaws. Things are working well with Lila and Thomas and Lexie. The only problem now is getting CeCe well after the fall that killed their baby. She isn’t the same anymore and Holden thinks it may be the end between them. He doesn’t know what to do. When she meets Jacob Bartley, he is just another singer to her; but he is a rival as far as Holden is concerned. Jacob interests CeCe in helping the fundraiser for his orphanage in Belize. He asks CeCe to go with him as ambassador to help get Baby Giovanna treatment. Holden isn’t happy with this arrangement; but doesn’t take CeCe’s invitation to come along very seriously. CeCe falls in love with Giovanna and the other children of the village and sets out to help them. However, when she and Jacob are kidnapped. Can they get them back before Giovanna needs the surgery?

One of the best series I have ever read
The series starts with three people heading to Nashville to sing and write songs. their lives become important to the reader. We follow them through becoming successful, and the good and not so good results of living in other people's lives, while trying to keep their lives in some privacy. Doesn't always work, but you're always rooting for them. I have read the whole series three times in the last few days and I had the same emotional action each time. It doesn't hurt that the children being separated at the border is causing emotional strain. This was the perfect time to encounter this series. Read it from book one, they really follow in a very meaningful way.

Great series , I can't put the book down
I have crid and laughed with the characters in this series, Life is a series of ups and downs😂 We do take things for granted when things are going smoothly and question why bad things happen to good people. I have seen many heartaches and pain in my own life . This story reminds me just now precious living every moment with your loved ones can be. I'm looking forward to the next book in the lives of these characters and sincerely appreciate the sweet stories of this author.

Great series
This series should be made into a mini series for tv.
The stories have every thing , I could not stop until I completed the series.
All of the books have sex suffering murders and mayhem, along with HEA.
I rated all of the books 📚 five 🌟.
You won't be bored if you read the series

This is the final (thank goodness) in this series. Each in the series has some crisis to be solved, but this one tops them all with multiple catastrophes. Unfortunately I am big on closure, so I had to know what happened to this threesome, but I felt like I was being conned most of the time with too many too short episodic "books" which could have been combined into many fewer volumes.

Hooray for the Nashville Series!!!!
Loved each and every book!! I was really there in every installment! You won't regret reAding this one. My world fell away as I read the wonders and horror that levelled each person and family. Extremely well written!!

Loved the series
The series was well written and I grew to love the characters (including their dogs). There were enough surprises to keep me guessing and plenty of romance, but not in an offensive way. Will definitely read more by this author.

The end
There is a lot crammed in her that you could separate it into parts. I was at least able to sleep and put it down a little bit. Amy believe the series is complete.

Nice series
I don't know how I found the series but glad that I did. Each story ends with a cliffhanger causing you to race to the next installment.

Worst of the series
Too much negative drama. Nobody could endure all of these constant tribulations. Hope next book in series has some positive outcomes for CeCe .

Great
Sorry to see the series end. Maybe the author will do a. Spin-off with Gigi about 13 years old. Great story but you still need those tissues.

This is the final installment of the series and it didn't disappoint. Jacob and CeCe are kidnapped and trapped and it's up to Holden and Thomas to find them. Loved the ending to this series and the way everything turned out for everyone. Enjoyable read!
