* The excessive use of yall in this review is to show my inner country girl.\Now yall know how I felt after book 2 Girl on Tour… pissed off, sad and confused with the Author and characters. So to say my little ole broken heart was NOT highly anticipating Girl In Love’s release is an understatement! But once the ARCs came out I was so nervous to read it. I was nervous that I would’nt remeber some important details from the previous books since I read them over 6 months ago. But the author does a good job of adding minor details that are enough for you to remember past times.I had other friends reading Girl In Love before me and based on their goodreads updates I was not sure which way Kylie & Trace story would end.Especially since it seems like authors lately are doing 180s on books and ending them without HEA (not okay for Juewelz) but I digress…So to leave yall that have been long time Kylie Ryan’s fans like myself in no more distress and disparity I will say we do get our HEA in Girl In Love but damn you Caisey Quinn!! She makes these characters WORK for it. So the angst, banter and heart ache continues in Girl In Love. Let me just say Trace and Kylie are the two most stubborn people I know. I wanted to physically liquify myself and go into my iPad, travel to Macon, GA and just yell at them both. ” GET YOUR S*** TOGETHER” Gah!We get to see a different side of Steven in this book. Rumor has it there will be a spin off series for him. I’m excited about that. I am also shocked at this but I wouldn’t even mind knowing a little bit more about Gretchen. She plays such a huge role in Trace’s life and is Kylie’s biggest pain in the ass it only be right.  :-)Trace & Kylie really mature and readers get to see the transition. I am so proud and happy for the both of them as individuals everything that they went through from book 1 until now. I feel content and happy (finally) with the way their story ended.What I didn’t like: I have to be honest and say out of all 3 books this was my least favorite. But keep in mind there are 3 total books! Typically in trilogies its the 2nd book that I am not that big of a fan of but this series it’s the 3rd. My issues were I felt like it took too long for the characters to make up. I understand the story had to build up. But damn their  ”living/working” situation made it hard to believe that it would take over 50% of the book for them to GetItTogether.net but it did! And I found myself skim reading some of the book because I was over the avoidance between Kylie and Trace.Would I recommend this series: Umm hell yea! I told Nic to read it and she finally listened to me (she’s stubborn like Kylie) and took one of my book suggestions seriously and LOVED it and I know for a fact you will too. Especially if now that you can do a series binge and read all 3 books at one time! Wow I know you will be BLOWN!Laters,Juewelz*ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review for SMIBookClub.com
