4.5 Stars!

In the second novel in bestselling author Caisey Quinnā€™s Neon Dreams series, a country rock band and its members embark on the rocky road to fame and find love along the way.

Dallas Lark is so close to achieving his dream of making it big in country music that he can taste it. Arriving in Nashville after signing with sexy, successful manager Mandy Lantram, his life goes from tragedy and turmoil to one lucky break after anotherā€”except it isnā€™t really luck because Dallas has sacrificed everything for his career, leaving behind his band, sister, best friend, and high school sweetheart, Robyn, in the pursuit of fame.

Robyn Breeland is a successful marketing coordinator and promotions specialist for a thriving liquor distributor out of Texas. She loves every aspect of her job: coming up with new ideas, traveling, hosting promotional parties and exclusive eventsā€”until it brings her face-to-face with the man who broke her heart, prompting her to erect a steel cage around it.

When their paths collide and theyā€™re forced to work together, Dallas and Robyn realize that the old spark they thought theyā€™d extinguished might still be a burning flame.



*I received an ARC of this from the publisher in exchange for an honest review* 


My WORD these books need to come with a fan.
 
I really like how these books are companions and not necessary sequels, OR the same story told from different POVs. Each one has it's own voice and unique storyline. I'm a sucker for second-chance-at-love stories, and LOVING DALLAS did not disappoint! Both Robyn and Dallas are strong-willed characters determined not to let anything or anyone stand in the way of achieving their dreams.

And then they run into each other again. 

*cue FIREWORKS*

They try to set boundaries; no PDA, no commitments, etc., but quickly find themselves unable to resist the pull of their shared past or each other. One pancake date leads to another and before they know it, this causal relationship is anything but. Caisey Quinn knows how to pull at my heart-strings while kicking me in the feels in the best way!

LOVING DALLAS has all of the elements I love in a NA; witty banter, romantic tension and a good story with an abundance of steam. It makes for a FANTASTIC addition to the NEON DREAMS series and I CAN.NOT.WAIT for Gavin's story now!

Welcome to Jenuine Cupcakes Thank you Cuddlebuggery for organizing this Best Series Blog Hop! *cupcakes for everyone* I have quite a few series that I love but the one I chose to spotlight is The Sweet Series by Wendy Higgins.  Why?

"Clockwork Prince" (The Infernal Devices Book 2) ~ Cassandra Clare

Let's take a moment to drool over, I mean, appreciate the pretty cover, shall we? *sighs* Once again, Cassandra Clare has managed to suck me into her colorful story of adventure, intrigue, love, romance and excruciating heartbreak.  *clutches chest*  Normally, I blast through books in a few hours, but I purposely took my time with this one because I wanted to savor every minute with Will, Jem and Tessa but HOLY CUPCAKE!!  Could you find another way to rip my heart out, do a "stomp the yard" dance on it and throw it back at me with demon pox all over it?!  *clutches chest*  How anyone with a heart can NOT be "Team Will" after this book, I'll never understand but if they aren't, then I say, in the words of giddy Will, "A demonpox on all your houses!" OK, so that's a tad harsh but still. "Clockwork Prince" picks up right where "Clockwork Angel" leaves off, with Tessa still trying to discover who she is and what Mortma...
