Girl on Tour by Caisey Quinn - Review

Girl on Tour (Kylie Ryans #2)
by Caisey Quinn

Published: August 27, 2013

An up and comer trying to make a name for herself...

KYLIE never expected to be stuck on a tour bus with a pampered princess and her boyfriend’s ex.

A troubled artist struggling to hold onto his career...

TRACE thought he was finally getting to do things his way. Until the label added co-headliner Gretchen Gibson, the only person in country music with more issues than him, to his No Apologies tour.

Surrounded by tabloid rumors and people they can't trust, Kylie and Trace need each other more than ever. But the choices they make will change everything.

Because chasing your dreams and following your heart don’t always lead you to the same place…

My short and sweet review:
Girl on Tour starts off with the heat right from the very beginning. Kylie and Trace pick up where they left off in Girl with Guitar and are not wasting any time getting to know each other before they both go on tour separately, which presents troubles for their new relationship. It was interesting seeing Kylie grow as she is realizing her dream and dealing with the pressures from doing so. I have got to say Caisey Quinn broke my heart with this one though, and I am definitely interested in reading Girl in Love (Kylie Ryans #3) to find out what happens next. 

You will like this book if you like contemporary romances.

You may not like this book if you don't enjoy romances, prefer "clean" romance, or if you don't like waiting until the end of the series for the "happily ever after."

Unhinged by A.G. Howard

(Splintered, #2)

Expected publication: January 7, 2014

Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole and faced the bandersnatch. She saved the life of Jeb, the guy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly seductive Morpheus and the vindictive Queen Red. Now all she has to do is graduate high school and make it through prom so she can attend the prestigious art school in London she's always dreamed of.

That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. And it would be much simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didn’t show up for school one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderland—where she (partly) belongs.

As prom and graduation creep closer, Alyssa juggles Morpheus’s unsettling presence in her real world with trying to tell Jeb the truth about a past he’s forgotten. Glimpses of Wonderland start to bleed through her art and into her world in very disturbing ways, and Morpheus warns that Queen Red won’t be far behind.

If Alyssa stays in the human realm, she could endanger Jeb, her parents, and everyone she loves. But if she steps through the rabbit hole again, she'll face a deadly battle that could cost more than just her head.

Girl with Guitar by Caisey Quinn - Review

Girl with Guitar (Kylie Ryans #1)
by Caisey Quinn
Published: May 22, 2013

After Kylie’s dad dies in a freak accident, he leaves her with nothing other than her crazy step-mother, Darla, and the ability to play guitar. When Darla kicks Kylie out and she loses her job all in the same day, she hops a bus to Nashville determined to make her late father’s dreams come true. Waitressing and saving her pennies to record a demo, her big break comes when she’s asked to join a tour going down the tubes with once platinum album-selling country music superstar Trace Corbin. But touring with Trace is hardly a dream come true since he’s pretty much drinking his career down the drain. If Kylie can’t pull Trace out of his rut, he’ll pull her and her dreams down with him. 

My short and sweet review:
Caisey Quinn burns it up in her debut. Kylie Ryans is a sassy spitfire that is not afraid to say what she thinks. In this first book of the series, we see Kylie beginning to pursue her dreams, but along the way, she falls fast and hard for Trace. I must admit there were a few times I would have liked to tell Kylie to pull it together, but that is because Caisey Quinn has given us a character we can't help but connect with. Kylie feels like a friend, and you can't help but want her to succeed. You will want to read the next books to follow Kylie's story.

You may like this book if you like contemporary romance, especially ones with hot country music stars.

You may not like this book if you are not fond of romance, prefer "clean" romance, or don't like "insta-love."

Just One Week

by Stacey Lynn

Expected publication: October 24, 2013

Two years ago, Mia had everything she thought she wanted. She loved her job, and her best friend Nicole was finally recovering from losing her family in a car accident. When they met rock star Zack Walters and given backstage pages for his concert in their hometown of Minneapolis, Mia had no idea she would get involved with the band’s drummer, Chase Harper. It was simple, fun, and exactly what Mia liked best – no strings attached.

Then Chase decided to change the rules and Mia did what she’s always done best: she ran.

Now she’s on her way to Los Angeles to help Nicole get ready for her wedding to Zack. The one thing she’s not looking forward to is seeing Chase again. With his sculpted muscles, strong hands and dark gray eyes that seem to know everything she’s thinking – Chase has the ability to make her forget. He also has the power to make her feel, something Mia refuses to let happen. 

When everything around Mia’s life begins to crumble, and she keeps all of her secrets tucked close and hidden away, Chase is the one who steps in to help. 

Because he has decided that he isn’t letting her go again. Not until she finally admits she’s his.
