You know when you start reading a book, and you just kind of stay in that same uncomfortable position because you’re unsure if it will grab you?  And then you have those types of books that make you stop everything you’re doing just to make sure you’re comfortable for the long haul because there’s no way in hell you’re going stop reading.  This is that book. THIS is that series!  Ever since Girl with Guitar I have been 100% invested in this series, I’m in love with these characters, and my heart ached for them to come full circle.  This beautifully written conclusion to the Kylie Ryans Series will pull your heart 8 different ways, and at any given moment you’re unsure of just which way that is. But I will say this, my heart is whole & completely satisfied.When we first met Kylie Ryans in Girl with Guitar she was a witty, feisty, full- of-life little spitfire with dreams bigger than the sun, and a heart open and willing to love.  Kylie is hands down one of my favorite Book Girlfriends ever!  She says it like she means it, but not in a bitchy way.  She’s just modestly confident.  And going through this journey with her was such a surreal thing as a reader.  You actually get to see all of the facets of emotions she goes through and the growth and strength she continues to have regardless of the hurdles that are thrown her way.  In this third book she’s lost a little of herself, she’s not the same she was before, and trust me you can feel it come through the pages.  For those who have read the first two books, you know the reason for this is none other than Trace Corbin.Trace Corbin Just about killed me in Girl on Tour.  I was never mad at him though. It was more of a disappointed feeling more than anything.  The fact that he didn’t want Kylie by his side during his rehabilitation was just foolish pride I believe.  I know he cared for her deeply, and that in his own mind, he was making the right decision for the both of them.  And I find that admirable in him.  This is why Girl in Love will pull at your heart.  In Kylie’s head he didn’t trust the relationship enough to have or want her by his side. She felt unloved, unappreciated and abandoned by Trace.  Trace basically wanted to do right for himself so that he could be the kind of man Kylie deserved and needed.  This is where everything gets all screwed up, and the true guts of the story will put a slow lingering burn inside of you throughout this whole book!Caisey Quinn does an amazing job of fueling your heart with her love potion just a little at a time.  Just the tiniest of drops here and there.  Just enough to keep you wanting more.  The build up and angst in this book is phenomenal, and to be honest I wouldn’t want it any other way.  I just want it to keep going forever and ever.The whole time I was reading this book I just wanted Kylie and Trace to get their crap together straight away!  But that would be boring and dumb I guess.  Instead you get this heart wrenching, sweet & sour, head scratching-ly good story about love and forgiveness and acceptance. And it’s beautiful how it all comes together.  I probably cried way too many times throughout this story, for both good and bad reasons.  But that is probably because this series ending is so bittersweet for me.  If you haven’t read the series do it now!  You won’t be sorry.  The biggest surprise for me was the transformation Trace made.  Which I ultimately think wasn’t that big of a change.  I believe the man he needed to be has always been inside him, and I truly think his biggest addiction will always be Kylie.  Like I said before, so many people were mad at him after Girl on Tour.  And after reading book #3 I think he is probably one of the most stan- up dudes I have read.  It takes a lot for a man to do the ACTUAL right thing.  And he does. And my heart is still swollen from this damn book!  Just go read it!
