Leaving Amarillo is about about Dallas, his sister Dixie and their friend Gavin as they find their way in life and music. Chasing their dream around wherever their music will take them, hoping to find their big break on becoming the next big thing.

They are each others everything, but a long time ago when their friendship started Dallas made it clear with Gavin that if he wants their friendship to work he will never touch Dixie. At that young age Gavin agreed and kept his promised for a decade, but the more Dixie opens up about what she really feels for Gavin, the harder it is for Gavin to stay true to his promise to Dallas. Will Gavin keep ignoring his feelings for Dixie to keep Dallas’s friendship? Or will Dixie break through Gavin’s control and give in to the connection that they have been building for so long? Read and find out.

As broken as Gavin maybe because of life, he is whole because of their band Leaving Amarillo. And as hard it is for him to stay away from Dixie, the way he cares for her is sweet. Dixie is everything he always wanted and shouldn’t have. Gavin is such a tortured soul, that he makes you just want to give him a big hug. I love how caring Dixie is with not only her brother and grandpa, but Gavin. She always wanted what’s best for Gavin since they were kids and she tries so hard to keep him as level headed as she could. No matter how much of a connection Dixie and Gavin have their relationship is a slow burn..but once they get their it is worth the wait. This book is not about sex, it is about their relationship and how much they care for each other and their music.

Keep in mind that this is the first book of Leaving Amarillo, so once the story reached its climax the story ends in a cliffhanger. A cliffhanger that made me want the next book so much more and I am hoping I won’t be waiting too long. As always another great book from Ms Caisey.

I have been waiting for a new book by this author. I have loved Caisey Quinn since the Kylie Ryans Series. She never disappoints and will leave you wanting more. I highly recommend this book. It's book 1 in A Neon Dreams Novel. A story about loving someone from afar or maybe more like secretly. It can't be pursued since one is off limit.

Gavin has had a bad childhood experience and after all these years, it seems like it's still chasing him and stopping him from living his life. All these issues was caused by none other than his mother. She's a drug addict and will use her son just for her to feed her bad habits. She's one irresponsible woman that drags her Gavin with her nasty and embarrassing issues. He tried to get away from his mother, but somehow, he can't seem to do just that. Since he was a child, he was treated like no other kid should be treated. So, what happened when he was a child and his mother never provided for him? His best friend Dallas and his sister became his family.

Dixie quit school to pursue her dreams. Show everyone her talent and to be able to be with her brother without missing him, since he's the only family she's got other than her Papa. Dallas and Dixie's Papa became more like their dad than their grandpa. And then there's her brother's best friend, Gavin. Who she's had the hots for since she was a kid. Since the first time she laid eyes on Gavin, she could not help herself but stare and admire him. Gavin and her tell each other that they are like siblings from another mother. She has tried to resist the tattooed, who's been to hell and back, drummer. How long will she be able to hold in what she truly feels for Gavin?

Since Gavin only has one night stands, Dixie thinks that maybe she can also get the one night with him. Just for one passionate and lustful night, that will be unforgettable. Just to get him out of her system. Gavin knows for a fact that one night will not be enough and once he gets to have her, he will be unable to let her go. And what Dixie doesn't know is that his brother Dallas has forbidden his best friend Gavin try anything with him. Will they both be able to resist this burning hot desire and longing they feel for each other? Or will they keep denying the feelings they both have just to make Dallas happy?

I enjoyed this book just like Caisy's other books. I am looking forward to reading book two. The cliffhanger is killing me, but I would suffer just to get a chance to read the author's books. You want a hot forbidden road? Then you need to read this steamy, forbidden romance.

I have a confession to make. Leaving Amarillo by Caisey Quinn is the first book that I have read from this author. I know I have her other previous books sitting on my kindle and need to get on them stat because after reading Leaving Amarillo, Ms. Quinn has managed this city girl to fall in love with country music and her writing.

#LeavingAmarillo

If we really think about it, music has the power to heal, touch us, and link our hearts. With it's simple beat, tune, and lyrics, music has a divine way of bringing beauty into our lives whether we see it or not. And for some the lyrics to a song feels as they were written just for you. And in Caisey Quinn's Leaving Amarillo, Ms. Quinn has managed to not only capture our attention in this beautiful tale of family, love, friendship, music, and life but she has also manage to strum and play the beats of our hearts. In this palpable and tangible book, Ms. Quinn took music and friendship to another level where emotions are left raw and life choices are made.

"We've always had something. A connection. But the older we get, the more complicated it becomes."

In all honesty, I don't want to spoil the book for the readers since Leaving Amarillo is journey of choices good and bad. These choices whether we want to admit it or not affects the outcome and the people that surrounds our lives. So what is this book about? Well all I can tell you three lives intersect, three lives are at a crossroad, and three choices are made. And what does all three have in common: music and friendship. In this book, Caisey explores the raw and yet vulnerable side of a band trying to get a music deal. In one week, lives will forever changed and be impacted. Hearts will soar, love will ignite, music will be made, and heartbreak will forever shape their lives.

Leaving Amarillo was one of those reads that had my emotions all over the place in the middle half of the book because as much as I wanted to be frustrated with these characters, I understood them because what unites them and what tears them apart is the pure raw emotion of love. LOVE. Four letters. L-O-V-E. This word is simple to define but hard to explain because it such a complex emotion and action. It is true when they say love isn't complicated, people are. Because in Leaving Amarillo, love, music, friendship and family are all bundled together as Dallas, Dixie, and Gavin are forever entangled into each other's lives.


#LeavingAmarillo1

Though this book ends unresolved, I will just say that I loved it because the journey of life and happiness is not an easy feat. Leaving Amarillo was just a reminder of the many bumps and choices we have to make for ourselves. And so I look forward to reading what's in store for the trio as they embark on their own path and leave Amarillo.

"You have me, Bluebird. You've always had me."
