WOW! What an wild ride this has been for Kylie Lou and Trace in this conclusion of their journey together. We left Girl on Tour with my heart pounding in my chest and aching for Trace. And of course we begin Girl in Love in the exact same spot. Trace is returning from his stint in Rehab, and Kylie Ryans is experiencing wonderful success in her country music career. Due to the phenomenal success of the song that they wrote and performed together about their love, the record company has a crazy idea: For Trace and Kylie Lou to tour together promoting their hot single, after all this is how they met, and of course the public will eat it up! Only problem is that Trace and Kylie are in a very different place emotionally and mentally. They are at a crossroads in their relationship; what they perceive about each others lives is very different than the actual reality. Kylie's hurt and anger of how things ended when Trace left for Rehab has now shaped how she approached life; the loving, carefree spirit we loved so much in Girl with Guitar and Girl on Tour now has a darker edge and harshness that she is using as a defense mechanism. Trace feels healthier yet vulnerable, and trying to take it one day at a time; his love for Kylie Lou is unwavering, yet he knows that she has the power to break him which could undo all the hard work he has put into being clean and sober.TRACE: I love his fortitude, strength, and commitment to his health, his family and his sweet Kylie Lou. I admired his patience and devotion to his love for Kylie and that protective nature to guard her at all cost. He matured and grew from not only his experiences but also from his love for Kylie Lou.KYLIE: As much as I loved her feisty spirit and naivety in the first 2 editions, she frustrated me in this read. I had to remind myself that she is only 20, that she had a pretty rough time of it after her parents died, and her step mother is Mommy Dearest at her finest. But even with all that in consideration, I was disappointed  in how she chose to cope with her hurt and anger. She purposely deceived Trace regarding her relationship status, and her coping mechanisms just alienated her from Trace even more. But with all that said, Caisey Quinn has mad writing skills because all these emotions that I was experiencing throughout this series, was a testament to how real these characters are to me, and by real I mean human, with real human emotions and reactions.I was literally on the edge of my seat for the majority of this read, as Kylie's manic reactions, all the missed communications, and cat and mouse chase kept me guessing as to how and when our couple were finally going to make their way back to each other. Trust me, we do FINANLLY get there, and it was a sweet ending. Caisey, I am not a country music lover, but I didn't have to be to be thoroughly wrapped and engulfed into this story. Thanks for a wonderful, wonderful experience.
