Fighting for redemption…
I've lived most of my life in darkness, beneath the shadows of secrets and addictions. The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt the only girl I'd ever loved-the one who brought me into the light. In my entire life I'd made one promise-a promise I'd intended to keep. I've broken that promise and now I have to live with the fallout. Dixie Lark hates me, and I have to tell her that I love her. I also have to tell her a truth that might destroy us forever.
Can she love me even if she can't forgive me?
Learning to move on…
Gavin Garrison broke his promise to my brother and he broke my heart in the process. I may never love anyone the way I've loved him, but at least I won't spend my life wondering what if. We had our one night and he walked away. I'm finally beginning to move on when my brother's wedding and a battle of the bands brings us back together.
Our band is getting a second chance, but I don't know if I can give him one. How do you hand your heart back to the person who set it on fire once already?

Leaving Armarillo broke my heart…in a good way. I couldn’t wait for us to get back to Gavin and Dixie. I was a bit torn up that I had to make my way through Book 2 with little to no Dixie/Gavin but it was worth the wait. Missing Dixie is a book full of rollercoaster emotions. I smiled, I laughed, I cried. I just loved it.
Gavin is everything you want in main character: sexy, brooding, tortured drummer who just grabbed my heart. He is just the right amout of everything and he loves Dixie. Hands down. Not questionable. The question is does he love himself enough to believe he can love her enough. The answer is yes but Gavin has to figure this out for himself because he spent most of his life not feeling worthy of anyone until he met the Lark siblings.
Dixe fell in love with Gavin when she first met him and nothing changed for her. She is beyond brave, strong and ridiculously beautiful. She knows Gavin can be dark but she also knows he is full of light. She wants him to be happy and she thinks she can handle whatever it is that Gavin is hiding from her.
Caisey Quinn takes us on a hell of a ride as Leaving Amarillo attempts to reconcile and with the band getting back together, Dixie and Gavin are thrust together to deal with their mess head on. The moments between these two seem so real, you feel the pain radiating off the pages. You root for them because you know they are right for each other.
Don’t miss this series. It is a showstopper from front to back cover….all three books. I can’t wait to see what Caisey has in store for us next because she poured her heart into this one. Book hangover guaranteed!
