I would firstly just like to say a big thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources who very kindly forwarded me and arc copy of this book, for my Kindle, in return for my honest review.

Rock n Rose is a very sweet, light hearted, enjoyable, heart warming story and was such an easy read, you find yourself turning the pages quicker and quicker just to find out what happens next!!
Daisy is left a ticket to Memphis from her Grandmother when she dies and also the revelation that Elvis is her Grandfather. So she sets off to try and uncover the truth and discovers a lot more too.
Full of wonderful characters and a wonderful feel good story - I really enjoyed this one…..

When Daisy's grandmother makes a huge confession shortly before she passes away, Daisy is confused. She must find out the truth so a trip to Memphis is calling. She a sweet story, perfect for Elvis fans.

I love, love, love this book! Just the most gorgeous story, set initially in Wales, so a win with me straight away! I adored Daisy and her Grandmother, Rose. When Rose dies, Daisy travels to Memphis in search of the truth behind a secret her Grandmother kept. Her adventures are often funny and heartbreaking. It was so emotional when Daisy found out the truth about Rose's past, especially how it affected Lillian. I couldn't get enough of this book and could have carried on reading Daisy's story

Rock'n'Rose was a sweet and lovely story about Daisy, her mother Lily and grandmother Rose. Right before she dies Nana Rose tells her daughter and granddaughter that when she visited Memphis, Tennessee at the age of eighteen she fell in love with Elvis Presley - and that Elvis is Lily's father. This leads to Daisy flying to Memphis to find out the truth about her family's history.

I think the best parts of the story were the ones where Daisy was in Memphis and everything was described so vividly you could feel like you were there yourself. Daisy's determination and her love for Memphis were wonderful to see and she made really good friends while there. I felt like the story dragged in other parts, though, and couldn't quite keep my interest... There was a bit too much going on at times and I just wanted the story to go back to Daisy and her family.

All in all, this was a delightful read - and I hope to visit Memphis one day and see all the sights I read about!

I give this book three and a half stars.

It’s now or never…
In the summer of 1960, eighteen-year-old Rose Featherstone took a trip to Memphis that changed her life. Now, Rose confesses to her granddaughter, Daisy, that she returned home with more than just memories all those years ago – she was carrying Elvis Presley’s child!

Daisy is sure the claim can’t be true, and yet, what if it is? When her grandmother passes away soon after her startling revelation and leaves Daisy with a ticket to Memphis, Tennessee, Daisy decides it’s time to discover the truth. She’s always struggled to fit in but this trip might just show her the benefits of being born to stand out. And especially when she meets Joe Cody, aka Officer Blue Eyes…

This book was a thrilling ride from the beginning. The author’s style places the reader in the book in each scene for an entertaining journey.

This is a fun and interesting read. I am not particularly a fan of s Presley but I enjoyed reading this book.I found the book to be a little slow in places but I still liked reading it. If you are a fan of Elvis then you should definitely read it. I really liked the characters of Rose and Daisy.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for my ARC.

Rock n Rose is a bittersweet charming story. Daisy is swept up in 1950s nostalgia thanks to her grandmother Rose. Right before she dies, Rose reveals the father of her only daughter, Lily. Daisy sets off on a once in a lifetime trip to Memphis to see if she really is a Presley.
Ever since seeing the Elvis this summer I’ve done a deep dove into the land of E. I loved all the references and descriptions of Elvis, his home, and the other characters.
I really loved Officer Joe as well as his southern manners and silky voice.
If you love Elvis then you simply must read it. It will leave you with “Memories.”

Rock N Rose is a beautiful front cover that makes you want to buy it instantly and reading the blurb just signs the deal. Rose 18 year old girl who goes to memphis and meets Elvis.

This is beautiful romance and a lovely story that makes you smile. The theme going through the book is family , love, loss and sadness. Rock n Rose is definitely relaxing book to read. if you love romance and Elvis you will love this book. 4 . Thank you NetGalley for letting me reviewing this book.

As a fan of history and musicals this book really appealed to me, and I think for anyone who enjoys the rock n roll period and of course Elvis Presley will enjoy this book.

I really liked the character of Daisy and enjoyed reading about her experiences in Memphis. It was written in a very detailed way so I felt like I could build up a strong visual for the settings whilst reading. It was a really nice read and one that I think a lot of readers will enjoy.

… from Clandovey, Wales TO Graceland, Memphis, Tennessee!

Daisy’s quest is filled with missteps, adventure, and shining lights until the truth is revealed.
I so enjoyed the idea of Daisy, with her grandmother Rose’s assistance, running a vintage clothes shop with the name ‘Blue Moon Vintage’. I was caught right there. I could live with Daisy searching for the truth about her grandfather, the hype around Elvis and Graceland, but after the initial whoha I ‘ALMOST’ lost interest. Then I honed in. Along with Daisy’s purchase of the cowboy boots “that felt as though she was destined to have them. The unusual rose pattern embossed into the leather would be a fitting tribute to her music-loving nana,” just as Daisy’s search to solve the mystery of her grandfather was a tribute. I was hooked!
What a fabulous concept. Lost generational love! ❤️The search for the man who was that lost love, and all that follows. And let’s not forget the cop called Blue— Officer Joe Cody.
A love story for the ages!

Many thanks to the author and publisher.

Daisy travels to Memphis after her grandmother hinted just before she died that her mother might have been as a result of a fling with a certain Elvis Presley.....
As with the author's previous book that I had read and enjoyed the background is heavily influenced by music, this time with Elvis Presley. I've not really followed his career and music, however I still found the background interesting. There is romance with a local police officer, a surprise visitor and a suspicious character blended together with a touch of humour. Again this is a slow burner, so not for those who prefer something faster paced, but a book to sit back and relax with whilst immersing yourself in all things Elvis.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book which I have already pre-ordered.

4.5⭐️

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was so much fun, had a great mysterious aspect to it, and all of the Elvis information was super neat! I actually found myself doing some research of my own while reading!!!
I really loved all of the characters, they were written so well and it is a great cast of people. Daisy has such a great personality and I love that she is so much like Rose. It is almost as though we get to experience what Rose was like in her younger years!!! It is also fun getting snippets of the other characters lives along the way.
This is my second Holder book and I enjoyed this one quite a bit more than the other one. However, if you are a Beatles fan be sure to check out Shake It Up, Beverley!
I would definitely read this story again and I feel the potential to pick up little details I missed the first time is great and would add to the reread experience!!!!
Thank you to Suzan Holder, One More Chapter, and NetGalley for a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

A bit of a marmite book for me - some bits I really enjoyed but equally there was a lot I didn't as the book seemed to waffle on a lot and go into depth about secondary characters that weren't really needed for the plot. The stuff about Daisy in Memphis, especially with Blue was thankfully more enjoyable to read.

You will always get a good story from Susan, well written and enjoyable. Makes a good read and well worth 5 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for this ARC

A unique, light hearted novel about a young woman’s search for her grandfather.
Daisy lives in Wales and owns Blue Moon Vintage Clothing. She is heavily influenced by the music and times of the 1950’s /1960’s just like her Grandma Rose. Grandma’s home is a tribute to the King, where Elvis music fills the air and the decor is an assortment of Elvis memorabilia. Daisy’s mother Lillian does not share or have an interest in their fandom.
On her deathbed, Rose shares a secret. She was in Memphis in the 196O’s, had an affair with Elvis and carried his child. That child, is Daisy’s mother Lillian. Astounded by the news and left with a ticket to Memphis, Daisy embarks on a journey to research her Grandma’s confession. Is it the truth or had Grandma’s memory become fragmented as she aged?
Suzann Holder writes with passion. She transports the reader onto this atmospheric path of music, pop culture, guided tours, Graceland and the unknown.
This story is so much more than a search for the truth. It is as story of family, missed chances and above all else love.
A recommended read that simply warms the heart.

Elvis was part of my childhood so I was keen to read this book. Outside my normal genre this was a bit far fetched, a bit predictable and utterly enchanting. The book is full of great characters, most of whom are larger than life but nice people apart from Sid the Snake and, for most of the book, Lily. I loved the descriptions of Memphis and the various tourist attractions, it’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit. Written mainly in the present but with flashbacks to Rose’s visit to her friend in the 1960’s; the trip that changed her life.

Briefly, Daisy has followed in her grandmother Rose’ footsteps. She loves everything about the 1960’s unlike her mother Lillian (Lily) who has refused to be part of their obsession. When Rose is dying she whispers to Daisy that Elvis Presley was Lily father and after her death Daisy finds Rose has left her a ticket to Memphis. Although she is sceptical about Rose’s claim Daisy decides to use the ticket and see what she can discover; and she finds a lot more than she bargained for!

The overriding theme of the book is love. Love between families, love sadly cut short by outside interference, love found in the most unexpected circumstances. The ending was happy but tinged with sadness at the missed opportunities for Rose. A great feel good read but with a bittersweet moment that lasted a lifetime and affected three generations.

A unique and interesting story which seems a little slow in places, perfect though for those interested in Elvis and Memphis as Daisy sets out n her voyage to uncover her grandmother’s past.

Rock N Rose by Suzan Holder is an absolutely delightful contemporary novel that warmed my heart and soul.
The central premise is a really intriguing one that really captures the reader’s imagination. It is so well written by Suzan Holder that the reader wonders, could it actually be true? And to be honest, I wanted it to be true!
Rock N Rose feels like a fairy story for grown-ups. The story surrounds Elvis Presley and Graceland as we travel from the Welsh valleys to Memphis. There has always been a bit of a mystery to Graceland, and a terrible tragedy that Elvis died so young and alone. As Suzan Holder says in her novel, it was a defining moment, we all know where we were when we heard the news on 16th August 1977. I still remember the disbelief that the king of rock and roll was dead. It is a moment where I have been frozen in time (along with where I was and how I felt when I heard that Tommy Jansson, a speedway rider, had died on 20th May 1976, and also when Princess Diana died).
The novel is about love, missed chances and new opportunities. There is so much love that radiates from the pages. There is a love that lasted a lifetime, a new love beginning to bud and a love between a grandmother and her granddaughter. Love does not turn off at the point of death. Love lasts as our memories keep us warm.
It is a bittersweet read about missed opportunities as we witness the damage meddling can do. The reader wishes there was a do-over button. How different lives would be.
I loved all the characters. They were well drawn. Likable and realistic. There were some really fun characters who knew how to grab life and really live it. There were characters teetering on the edge of life who needed to seize the day for tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Pilgrimages to Graceland on behalf of those no longer here, offered opportunities to glimpse into the past. It was a different but beautiful bygone era.
The novel is mainly set in the present but with flashbacks to 1960. It is all beautifully and seamlessly done.
Rock N Rose was a really fun read. It sparkles with life and I loved it. I cannot wait to read more by Suzan Holder.
I received a free copy via Net Galley for a blog tour with Rachel’s Random Resources. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
