I adore Kylie Ryans. I fell head over heels in love with Trace Corbin. I majorly fan girl over Caisey Quinn on a daily basis. So it shouldn't be a surprise that I absolutely loved Girl in Love. It has easily become one of my favorites of 2014 and of all time.When we first meet Kylie she was leaving her small town and her demon of a step mother behind. She was following her dream of moving to Nashville and getting noticed by an executive in the music industry. She was head strong, determined, she listened to her heart, she had that fire in her belly that had everyone rooting for her. This is not the same person that we see in Girl in Love. We see Kylie being very cautious, battling what her head and heart are telling her. Instead of living life she's robotically surviving, working herself and her crew to the point of exhaustion. She's trying to move on and get over Trace but her label, which is also Trace's, send them on tour together again and that puts all of Kylie's effort of moving on back to square one.Which leads me to Trace.Who could not love the extremely sexy, tight jean wearing Trace Corbin. I fell for him when we first met him in Girl with Guitar at the Rum Room. Even though Trace had his own demons he always put his sisters first and when he met Kylie he put her first as well. I was upset with him at the end of Girl on Tour but he redeemed himself in Girl in Love. Trace was bettering himself in Girl in Love, making decisions that would give him a better future- a future he hoped to share with Kylie. Trace lets it be known from the beginning that he still loves Kylie. In the previous books Trace always thought less of himself but we saw Kylie continuously reassure him that he is one of the most kind, giving, loving men that walk the earth. In Girl in Love Trace realizes that he his worth more than dirt and fights harder to win Kylie's heart back. We may have fallen in love with Trace before but my heart practically exploded with Trace love, he loves fiercely and makes sacrifices for the people he loves. No Trace isn't perfect but he is pretty darn close.I swear Caisey Quinn should win a CMA award for this series alone. I only recently (late 2013) started reading her books and was addicted before I finished the first book. I could read her books over and over and still feel all the same emotions throughout. Her writing will have you feeling all different emotions and feeling like you're the character in the story. As I've said before I fangirl over Caisey constantly and can go on and on about what a wonderful person and talented author she is. She definitely put her heart and soul into a Girl in Love, like with her other books, and it shows.Girl in Love closes a series where in the first two books the characters steal your heart and the story keeps you so invested that you need to continue reading until the very last page. Girl in Love is absolutely no exception. In fact, I think this book will have you more invested because everyone wants to know if Kylie gets her HEA and if Trace gets his and if they get their HEAs together. Caisey Quinn keeps us on the edge of our seats, gripping our iPads, kindles, Nooks, etc. to find out those answers but it was one heck of a ride getting there. I would most definitely urge you to buy this book, it's a solid 5 star and a CMA award winning type book that you'll love.
