What The Hell Do I Know is a short and sweet read from the Fan Girl Series. Ollie and Lacey are purely hot and sweet from beginning to end. This book may be short, but it gave enough backstory to Ollie and Lacey’s life for their love to have meaning. Ollie who was once a manwhore, changed his outlook on life when Lacey came into his life. He treated her like a queen and given her anything and everything she could need. Even with Lacey’s insecurities on love and life, Ollie stayed loving and sweet.

If you have a couple of hours to to spare, this is a great book to sink your teeth into. This book is pure joy and happiness. Love it.

Drowning to Breathe is a great ending to Shea and Sebastian’s story. It’s a beautiful story of the love that they both deserve to have.

photo DrowningtoBreathe-Teaser.jpg

This book picks up where the A Stone By The Sea had left off. Shea and Sebastian goes through an emotional roller coaster ride of emotions and pain, that in the end will lead them to the forever love that they never thought they were looking for, but found. What they both went through before finding each other was pure hell. That I do agree with both of them, that they are made for each other. Sebastian completely turns into a loving, protective guy and caring guy that Shea and her daughter both needed. Super cute moments with Sebastian and little Kallie bug alone. This book is a lot slower pace than the 1st book, but still a great ending.

I am hoping for Sebastian’s brother Austin’s story, because I am curious where his road to finding himself will lead him.

Take a Chance is the 4th Willow Creek and what a book it is. I enjoyed reading every one of the books in the series and what I love most about reading each book, is getting a glimpse of each couple while the story is focus one a certain couple. In this story it’s about Joshua Hayes and Arden James. I can say that this book is a straight 5 star and they are my favorite couple, after Maddox and Emma of course.

photo WC4-TakeAChance_1.jpg

This book was fun, sweet and with a little drama mixed in. Most of all how cute is Arden’s little girl Mia? You have to read to see what I mean. And Hayes can I say melt my heart with his great fathering skills. I am in awe of this book. Hayes may have been a playboy in the beginning of the series, but this story shows just how much of a man he had become. Hayes and Arden’s relationship was full of so many sweet moments, then add Mia to the mix….Pure melt your heart kind of story and love just bursting out of my heart. Emma and Maddox maybe my favorite couple, but Hayes and Arden are a close second. I can never get enough of sweetness in books, I live for those moments. If you haven’t read this series, start now..trust me you won’t regret it.

Leaving Amarillo (Neon Dreams, #1)

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.

photo LeavingAmarillo-Teaser1.jpg

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.

photo LeavingAmarillo-Teaser2.jpg

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.

photo 1LeavingAmarillo_zpsrcphh5jo.jpg

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Reviewed by: Michelle

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."

Jared is a famous Rockstar, but his simple, a hard worker and doesn’t live the rock star life. The first time he met Paige, he made sure she knew he was interested and didn’t leave until they exchange numbers. They started seeing each other casually, but their time together was always fun, special and turned into something so much more. Jared was the sweetest and treated Paige like a queen. Paige though they were seeing each other just for fun, but what she didn’t realized was Jared was crazy about her. Instead of treating Jared like a King that he is, she completely treated him like he didn’t mean anything to her. Will Jared ever forgive her before it’s too late?

Fun and short read, that will keep any reader wanting more. Jared and Paige are so cute together, you can’t help but love them. This is a real page turner, that ended before I was even ready to let go. Love the ending, pure sweetness. <3

**ARC provided by author, in return for an honest review.**

Tormented rock star bad boy, what more do you want? Ryker had a past that he blamed himself for, so he never let himself get close to a woman he would care for. He doesn’t feel worthy to be loved by a good woman like Faith. Instead of treating Faith like the queen that she is, he pushes her buttons in the worst way he possibly can. He treats her like trash he is, parades his conquest all around her and breaks her heart over and over again.

Faith is a good girl and have been pining for Ryker for years, but every time she thinks she’s taking a closer step, Ryker pushes back. For years Ryker had been hot and cold with her and she’s starting to think letting go is the best thing to do. Until it wasn’t. When Ryker started opening up about his past, Faith thought they were finally connecting. Then hot passionate night followed, Faith was in cloud nine. Until she woke up with an empty space next to her. Had Faith finally had enough of Ryker’s mistreatment? Only one way to find out. Read now..

This was a real great story, that took my mind off the gutter of my last read. This story made me giddy and made my heart flutter. Faith was such a great heroine, that I couldn’t help but want her to have her happy ending..even if it meant no Ryker. Ryker and Faith were hot together, that you would love every moment they had together. When Ryker started to finally show who he really was, I couldn’t help but love this broken tormented rocker. Through the first part of the book I wanted to just reach out and slapped the man for the way he was treating Faith. But because Joanne Schwehn is such a great writer, she did Ryker justice and redeemed his character in the best way possible. A real must read.

WICKED INDULGENCE was fun... getting to know Saxton's back story was what I have been waiting for. He comes from a wealthy family who does not agree with his decision of becoming a famous rock star. No kind of support from his family other than his sister Stace, however, it does not stop him from pursuing his dream. The question is... Will he be able to stick it out, handle everything that comes with being a rock star? When a very attractive new PR is hired for the band, promoting them and getting them shows, turns his life around. A little overwhelmed by the fans, partying, and feeling a little suffocating makes him turn to the one thing that might very well ruin his dreams. Things aren't what they seem and he makes it his mission is to find out if who's out to get him and ruin his life for good.

For anyone who wants a quick and hot read, then this book is for you. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Wicked Indulgence is really short and straight to the point of Saxon’s life before Micah. It has a whole explanation on what gave Sax the bad boy image and why he was closed off when he first met Micah. Saxon had the life that everybody dreamed of, a life to party and have any woman he wants. But he was also spiraling out of control and at times he had no idea why he was left in situations he doesn’t even remember getting into. You find out early on that Sax may be a bad boy to the media, but in the eyes of his sister and himself….he was no where near what the media had painted him out to be. So if you are ready for a ride into Sax’s painful past, read now.

BE WITH YOU is the last book of the Fallen Star series.

Tex is now rebuilding his house after the fire he's caused from being reckless. Ruby and Tex move forward with their relationship. All Tex wants is to be there for Ruby. But how is that even possible when he's miles away from her? No matter how many miles apart they might be, Tex will drop
everything just to be with her. All she needs to do is ask and he'll come running to her.

photo BE-WITH-YOU_zps3gko4ioe.jpg

In this book, Ruby and Tex, spend some time apart. There are some things that Ruby needs to figure out all on her own. Without any contact from Tex while he's on the road might be the way to help her overcome the anxiety she has been battling with. The separation for a month between the two could either end badly or might just be the one thing that could help heal both of their wounds. I didn't really like the time apart in the beginning, but it all made sense in the end. You must sacrifice what you want in order to have what you truly deserve.

I loved reading the entire series. I loved how Ruby and Tex's love story was a slow burn. Reading a series with the same couple from beginning to end, was what pulled me in. For anyone who loves rock star romance, I highly recommend you get to know Tex and his hot package. Thank you for the opportunity, Ms. Starr.

Cry for You is the last book of the Fallen Star Series. This book is not like the other two at all, it didn’t have the same pull and great story line the last 2 books did. This book was a little bit slower. As much I should’ve enjoyed this book, I couldn’t too much. I felt like the Ruby and Tex spent too much unnecessary time apart, that I didn’t agreed on at all.

photo FS3-BeWithU-Teaser.jpg

Yes, the main characters got the happy ending they deserved, but I felt like they deserved a lot more. Their time together wasn’t enough for me to really enjoy the book. I felt the pain of them being apart. I wanted more focus on the love that Tex and Ruby really have for each other. I just wish there was so much more that the Author gave us for the ending. So this was an ok book.

After Tex’s big comeback performance at the Festival, not only did he still want Ruby…he only thought of her. After coming home and staking a claim on Ruby, he promised her he would protect her from any danger that could come her way. But when a crazy fan started making herself known, without even realizing it. Her stalking and crazy ways of winning Tex, started to get in the way. How much can Tex really protect Ruby from a psycho stalker, that would do anything to ruin Ruby and pull them apart in any way necessary?

As Ruby and Tex grow closer and their sex life gets busier, the crazy fan was plotting her next move on how to split them apart.

I enjoyed this book as much as the first, but this book takes a serious turn when the stalker decided to do everything she can to win Tex. Even though Tex bad side came out this book, I couldn’t stay mad at him too long. He was just too sweet and delicious to be mad at. We all have our flaws and Tex showed a big part of that in his book. No matter how angry he may have gotten, he still showed how much he cared for Ruby and will do anything to love and protect her.

An awesome follow up to book 2, I cannot wait to read the 3rd and final book of this series. Love it.

Flynn Beckman is the new rock star in town, the opening act for Dylan Ryder the biggest rock star to all. Flynn is an up and coming rock star, who doesn’t act like one. He is a good guy with a face and body to die for. Then there’s Dylan, yes his handsome, but nothing compared to Flynn, but he is also rock star and living like one. Dylan is an a**hole who has a gorgeous girlfriend named Lucky.

When Lucky and Flynn meets for the first time, they clicked right away. Flynn was a the biggest flirt, who only had eyes and time for Lucky. But what he didn’t know was while he works his magic on Lucky, she wasn’t available even if she was interested. As the Tour of Dylan’s band started Flynn and Lucky end up spending lots of time together, got to know each other and became friends. Their attraction for each other, was steaming hot. No matter how much they tried to keep away from each other, the feelings only grew stronger.

Be warned there is some cheating in this story, but it’s not what anyone would think. So even though this is a love triangle it’s a damn good one. Flynn is the sweetest and hottest guy you would ever meet. He was the guy that Lucky belonged to and this story may not be all about sex, but when these two got together it was nothing but hot. These two are sexy together and the best of friends. What I loved most about this story is the connection that Flynn and Lucky had, the relationship they had was so much more than sex. And of course I cannot forget about Flynn’s little 5 yr old niece Lane, who is so adorable. Lane makes Flynn so much sexier than he already is, you gotta read this book to know exactly what I mean.

Love this story, it’s fun, sweet and a real page turner. Once you start this book, you may not be able to stop. So get going, read about this gorgeous guy now and I promise you won’t regret it.<3
