Neon Dreams #2
Loving Dallas
In the second novel in bestselling author Caisey Quinn’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 another—except it isn’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 events—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 they’re forced to work together, Dallas and Robyn realize that the old spark they thought they’d extinguished might still be a burning flame.

***WARNING! There may be spoilers for Book 1!***
Loving Dallas is the second book out of Caisey Quinn's Neon Dreams series. It follows the lives and loves of the country band Leaving Amarillo. This time, it's all about Dallas.
Loving Dallas starts right where Leaving Amarillo left off with Dallas going off on a tour without Dixie or Gavin as a result of Mandy's manipulation and Gavin's personal troubles. Dallas Lark is no more. Dallas Walker would have to go at it alone without his sister and his best friend.
When Dallas joined Jase Wade's tour as an opening act, he never expected to come face to face with his past. Robyn Breeland wasn't the same girl that Dallas left years ago. She's now a successful career woman and being the PR and marketing person for Midnight Bay for Jase Wade's concert tour means she finally has the chance to prove her worth. But her plans got derailed when she came face to face with the only boy she's ever loved.
I liked the second-chance romance theme for this book. It's quite clear to the reader that Dallas and Robyn still have feelings for each other. Their chemistry is still potent. But getting together now might jeopardize their dreams. Plus, they have a lot of unresolved issues stemming from their first break up that was never really resolved. That contributed to the fragility of their reunion. So they tried to keep it casual. No promises beyond what they're getting during the tour. It was mutual and it was fun. At least at first. But then you just can't shake that feeling that shit will hit the fan soon and it could obliterate their bond once again.
And shit did hit the fan. And it's frustrating as a reader when the characters you're rooting for manage to ruin a good thing by doing the exact same thing they did before which was the reason why they broke up in the first place. To be fair, they were able to resolve it but it seriously annoyed me. I wanted to chuck my Kindle across the room. Also, heads up there's which was okay to me. It was done well and I had no problems with it.
Again, I loved the way Caisey Quinn wrote the music business aspect of the book. She captured the seedy side of the business and the struggles Dallas is going through, trying to remain true to himself while embracing stardom. It's a constant struggle. I think the author did a fantastic job writing one secondary character in particular. I thought Jase Wade was an asshole at first but the author added complexity to his character. Mandy, Dallas' manager, didn't fare as well as Jase. She was this clichéd bitch who undermines her talent's authority. But I can't complain too much because she did get her comeuppance. Or at least I think she did.
But unlike the first book, we get an HEA for Dallas and Robyn, which was a relief. There are some parts to their story that remain unresolved like Robyn's job at Midnight Bay or Dallas' prospect after he walked out of the tour without permission. These things remained unresolved for now. We also get a taste for Gavin and Dixie's story which will also be resolved in the next book. So to say that I'm in pins and needles waiting for the third book would be an understatement.
So despite that momentary glitch around 71%, I still ended up liking this one very much. The story came together really well and the writing was wonderful and engaging, so I can't down rate it based on that glitch alone. And relationship wise, they managed to resolve some of their problems earlier than expected. Not to mention, this book was very, very hot. That was an unexpected surprised. One that I enjoyed very much.

"The grown-up Dallas Walker Lark is all hard edges, and intensity—sin wrapped in sugar sprinkled with lust. And I want to savor every single bite."

4 Loving Dallas and Robyn Stars
Loving Dallas is a standalone and is part of the Neon Dreams series.
You do not have to read the first book Leaving Amarillo prior to reading Loving Dallas, BUT you will need to read Leaving Amarillo prior to reading the last book, Missing Dixie.
I really liked Dallas and I was interested in his story. He was the side-character that was just there. He was the over-protective brother and always blocked Dixie and Gavin from hooking-up. So, now it’s Dallas’ story and it’s a finding-love-again storyline.
I love these.
Robyn and Dallas dated, but Robyn left Dallas and broke his heart. When she tried to make nice again, Dallas didn’t want anything to do with her and broke her heart in return.
A lot of hearts were broken.
Years later, Dallas is on tour sans his bandmates, Dixie and Gavin. Dallas is on tour with headliner, Jase Wade. Jase Wade’s promotions is handled by **GASP** Robyn and oh how the drama unfolds.
I’m still me, Robyn. No matter what’s changed between us, I’m still me
Here’s a BIG surprise, the angst in this one is VERY MILD! CQ is known for crazy angsty books and it drives me crazy. Dallas and Robyn have great banter and mild sexual tension. There are a lot of unresolved issues and it kind of all comes out. I liked the beginning and pace a lot. I found Loving Dallas to read quicker than Leaving Amarillo and I liked how “adult” Dallas and Robyn were.
When they both realize they would be working closely with each other, they meet up and kind of talk it out. You have no idea how many times I LOVE this in a read. I love it when characters “work-out” issues, it’s just common sense right? Don’t worry, there still plenty of drama to keep you entertained.
I’m going to risk a world of hurt for experiences that might become painful memories. Because I’m pretty sure it will be worth the pain.
For better or worse, I am his, and he is mine- even if only for a little while longer
On tour Dallas needs to work out a lot of stuff. He still has guilt for leaving his bandmates, he tries very hard to push away Mandy’s (his manger) advances and he doesn’t know how he feels about Robyn. I kind of liked Mandy and I know she’s the crazy villain, but she’s so mean that I love and hate her. I kind of hope she gets her own book and it explains why she is the way she is.
Robyn wants Dallas to be successful. She understands Dallas has an image and he needs to look single, even if that means he goes to parties and flirts with girls. Robyn handles it fairly well. I liked this and no she isn’t passive, she’s just realistic.
Towards the last 30% things get crazy angsty. I was pulling my hair out, just a bit, but it didn’t last too long. I never knew what was going to happen and I was ready to push Robyn to talk to Dallas and Dallas to talk to Robyn! Don’t worry, it will keep you glued to the pages.
If you are a fan of the series, you will love Dallas’ story.

Aspettare 3 anni un libro ti porta a caricare il romanzo di aspettative e quando queste vengono disattese, il risultato è un fiasco. Mi sono annoiata, di categoria "second chances" non ho riconosciuto le qualità. 💔

4.5 Stars!
My WORD these books need to come with a fan. And maybe tissues.
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!

I love books that are part of a series yet standalones. Part of me would love to say that this is a stand alone, and I do think it can be read alone but I also think it’s better after having read Leaving Amarillo.
I had a hard time with this book. Don’t get me wrong, the book was good, very enjoyable; but with the way Dallas so easily let the stupid manager cut his sister out of the band in the first book (Leaving Amarillo), I just couldn’t get past my anger at him. (I’m known to hold grudges). It seemed like every time I’d start getting into his story, there’d be a scene where he was all protective of his sister and I’d get ticked off all over again. I just kept thinking “Where was this guy when your bitch of a manager cut her out of the band!?”
As for Robyn, I really liked her. But I really wish she had told Dallas about her mom. When the book started and Dallas and Robyn first got back together, I kept wondering why Robyn dumped him. If the info was given in book 1, I didn’t remember it. But I was disappointed to find out that it was Robyn not telling Dallas about her mom. It just didn’t seem like a good reason to break up and I hated that she kept it from him.
Dallas and Robyn had great chemistry. It practically jumped off the page…er…screen of my kindle. The best part of the book was that there is a HEA for Dallas and Robyn, unlike for Dixie and Gavin, who’s story is still unresolved ( See, grudge.)
Overall, this was a really good book. I had some issues but I do enjoy the author’s writing and stories. I can’t wait to read the conclusion of Dixie and Gavin’s story!

Loving Dallas is book 2 in the Neon Dreams series, and while you could read this as a standalone you would miss out on some tough choices Dallas had to make in Leaving Amarillo that really play into some of his internal struggles in Loving Dallas, so I don't recommend it. (Besides Leaving Amarillo is one of the best books of the year, so go indulge yourself)
I 100% completely and totally fell in love with the Neon Dreams series in book one, Leaving Amarillo, but to be honest, I did not like or care for Dallas. Dallas is dedicated to his dreams and comes off as an arrogant and selfish person to get those dreams to come true. However, Caisey Quinn is a brilliant writer, she knows how to layout out and tell a story, so I trusted that she would help me see more in Dallas and I dove in. (Never doubt Caisey)
While I did not fall in love with Dallas like I did Gavin, I get him now. Dallas gets thrown into this life he has always dreamed about, but he had to pay a price that now weighs on him. Sometimes getting everything you ever wanted can be a bitter pill to swallow if you don't have the people there that you dreamt the dream with. Getting to know Dallas and reading about his struggles really helped me connect to him and understand some of the choices he made. Caisey Quinn has never written a character that has the easy road to dreams and love, and I really love that. Reading the struggles, the human-ness of her characters is what makes her writing so special, so "real".
Robyn we also meet for a bit in Leaving Amarillo, but in Loving Dallas her part with these characters really makes sense and explains some of the moods she brings out in Dallas. Robyn is a tough, independent woman who wants to reach her dream of success. She is has a hard shell, but it takes seeing her old flame, Dallas again to help melt her into a softer character. I loved seeing these two "play" in New Orleans, I loved the heat and anger that came out in Denver, but I just wanted more something from them that I didn't get.
Caisey Quinn did a great job of taking two ex-lovers and reconnecting them with sparks. While I liked Robyn and Dallas, I felt like their story was really just a transition to get to the rest of Dixie and Gavin's story in the third book (coming soon). Loving Dallas was written beautifully, the emotions, the struggles and the revelations that are made in this book were really needed for me to start liking and relating to Dallas's character. The Neon Dreams series is shaping up to be an intense, amazing and emotional series about chasing dreams and I can't wait for more. I loved the direction Loving Dallas took this series and I will be on pins and needles to see how it all comes together in the end.
If you are a fan of Caisey Quinn you will love this series. If you are new to Caisey Quinn and the Neon Dreams series, please snatch up Leaving Amarillo, when you 1-click Loving Dallas, no matter what order you read them in you will want to read both, I promise! Now the hard part.... waiting for Missing Dixie!

RECENSIONE COMPLETA QUI:
http://valentinaabbr.blogspot.com/201...
Il battito del nostro amore è una storia di seconde opportunità, di vero amore, quello che dura per sempre e che supera ogni barriera. È la storia di un ragazzo e di una ragazza con tanti sogni nel cassetto, tra cui quello di diventare qualcuno. Il sogno di Dallas è sempre stato fare musica, diventare qualcuno, far sognare la gente. Il sogno di Robyn è quello di eccellere nel suo lavoro, di dimostrare al mondo che ormai è una donna capace, in gamba, e che ce la fa da sola, senza l'aiuto di nessuno.
Le loro strade sono destinate a incrociarsi di nuovo perché il sentimento non si è mai spento. L'attrazione è più viva che mai, esattamente come l'amore. Hanno provato ad andare avanti, a dimenticarsi l'uno dell'altra, ma quando si vedranno sarà come una fiamma che divampa inarrestabile. Si abbandoneranno alla passione, e non riusciranno più a smettere.
Dopo aver letto il primo volume della serie, Il ritmo del mio cuore, non vedevo l'ora arrivasse il terzo volume, quello che mi avrebbe finalmente regalato il lieto fine per Dixie e Gavin. Non ho preso bene la scelta dell'autrice di intervallare la storia di Dixie con quella del fratello. E vi dirò di più: a fine lettura ho pensato che della storia di Dallas non me ne sarebbe potuto fregare di meno. Poi è arrivata la notizia della pubblicazione de Il battito del nostro amore e per amore della Quinn l'ho acquistato e letto subito. Mi sono innamorata. Sono rimasta folgorata. Proprio com'era successo con Il ritmo del mio cuore, forse anche di più.
Incredibile, inaspettato. Un'emozione bellissima. Perché la storia di Dallas e Robyn è di una dolcezza e di un romanticismo senza eguali. È una di quelle storie che ogni sognatrice vorrebbe leggere e rileggere infinite volte, senza mai trovarla noiosa, scontata o meno emozionante della prima volta.
Dallas è un uomo diviso in due. Da una parte vorrebbe mettercela tutta per realizzare il suo sogno, vorrebbe viaggiare con la quinta e non voltarsi indietro. Vorrebbe cavalcare l'onda, perché quello che gli sta succedendo è incredibile. La gente inizia a riconoscerlo, le fan strepitano per lui, la sua manager gli dice che andrà lontano. Dall'altra parte c'è il cuore, i ricordi, le persone che ama. Soffre ogni giorno per la band, per essere andato avanti senza di loro, e si chiede se non ha lottato troppo poco. Forse se avesse insistito ancora Dixie e Gavin sarebbero stati lì con lui a godersi il successo. Può veramente andare avanti nella scalata senza pensare a come sarebbe stato se ci fossero stati anche loro?
Rivedere Robyn sarà un colpo al cuore perché quella ragazza ha ancora un certo ascendente su di lui. Quando la vede non sa essere razionale.

I was not a fan of Dallas in Leaving Amarillo. Not even a little bit. I thought he was selfish, oblivious, naive at times and overbearing. You know what? I now see him differently. He won me over. While I can't easily write off all the things he did in book one, I have a new found appreciation for who he is and maybe some understanding of his past mistakes.
Robyn starts the book off as a seemingly abrasive, no nonsense woman. She's very career driven and I wasn't all together convinced I would like her much. Honestly, I had the thought that her and Dallas deserved each other.
They do. But not for the reasons that initially crossed through my brain.
Robyn is focused on her career, in promotion and marketing for a liquor company that happens to be sponsoring a country wide tour that features her one and only long lost love, Dallas. Robyn broke up with Dallas years ago. It was sudden and painful but he's since been building a career in music. Ending up on tour together brings back all the old wants, the aches and the secrets as to why Robyn really pushed Dallas away. Add in current life difficulties and these two have their work cut out for them.
Quinn did something with Robyn and Dallas that I rarely see in books, something I really appreciated. She brought these two back together, after so much time apart, yet instead of them having a long drawn out push and pull - she threw them right back together. Yes, there is still the mental anxiety with each of them, wondering why they haven't been together all this time, or if they could ever really make it work. But neither of them denies any feelings or chemistry from the start. All to often you read a book where the characters fight the connection and it feels like so much filler. I didn't get that with Loving Dallas, thankfully. That aspect felt very grown up.
However, these two haven't quite grown up. They still make many mistakes. Mistakes that they had already made years before. I wish there had been a little more character growth in that area. By the end of the book they seem to have caught on though and I liked how it all worked out.
If you are a fan of second chance romance, country rock star hotties that go after what they want, or not too angst driven love stories - there is a good chance you'll end up Loving Dallas. See what I did there? ;)
I was not a fan of Dallas in Leaving Amarillo. Not even a little bit. I thought he was selfish, oblivious, naive at times and overbearing. You know what? I now see him differently. He won me over. While I can't easily write off all the things he did in book one, I have a new found appreciation for who he is and maybe some understanding of his past mistakes.

UPDATE 23.06
4.5 stars
I have to say I was worried I wouldn’t be able to focus on Dallas probably, while still thinking of Dixie and Gavin. But I’m happy to say that wasn’t the case and I managed not to think of them too much. So good job, Quinn!
This may be my new favorite series by Caisey Quinn. Kylie and Trace will always have a special place in my heart, and they are the reason I fell in love with her books, but I love the way she’s developing this series.
It was smart the way she decided to left us hanging and tell us Dallas’ story instead of continuing with Dixie and Gavin’s. I mean, I still think it’s torture and october can’t come soon enough, but the hype is so high! And honestly if we think about it, more Gavin is a pretty good silver lining.
But besides that, Dallas’ story was phenomenal. I loved everything about it and even though I was expecting the twist at the end I was still happy when I saw it happening.
I loved Dallas and especially the way he cares deeply for her sister and strangely enough I loved Robyn too (strangely because I’ve been known to have some problems with all the heroines).
At some point I was afraid Robyn was going to make the same mistake twice, but fortunately she was able to do the right think.
NOW GIVE ME 'Missing Dixie'.
---
Mmh..
I liked Dallas in Leaving Amarillo and I love second chance romances but I need to know what happens between Gavin and Dixie. It's going to be hard paying attention to what's going on with Dallas, when all I want is more of them.
You better be good, book!
But Caisey Quinn is one of my favorite authors, so I have faith in her.

Loving Dallas
4.5 Sacrifice Stars
Warning: This is the second in the Neon Dreams Series. Do not read it until you read the first. You need to read them in order. Besides, the first one is really good.
You know that saying, "If you love something let it go..blah blah blah..." The problem with that is that you have to let your love go. As in away. That leaves you with no love. Kinda sucks.
Robyn has plenty of practice with sacrifice. She let her high school boyfriend, Dallas, go on tour with his band without her. She needed to stay home with her mother while she underwent cancer treatment. She didn't tell him about her mom. Another sacrifice she was willing to make for his happiness.
Dallas has hit the big time. He is on tour with a big name star. He is living the dream. By himself. Only problem....he is living the dream by himself. Not with his sister. Not with his best friend, his drummer. And certainly not with the girl he left behind several years ago. The girl he thought was forever but ended it that summer he went on tour. The girl who inspired his songs.
You rocked my world, turned it upside down.
Now you’re nowhere to be found.
When Dallas gets signed to do a big time arena tour, he finds out that Robyn is trying to make her dreams come true too. She is the marketing executive for the sponsor of the tour. You knew that was going to happen. They had to get back to the same place same time. But can they get back on the same page?
Dallas Lark is hold a blowtorch, steadily burning a hole in my steel wall.
Yes, resistance is futile. Dallas is a sexy singer and the boy who held your heart years ago. Who could resist? But can he be her final guy? The one to give Robyn the life she wants? He is screaming fans, tour buses and travel. Not exactly picket fences.
And I want to be happy, you know? Not just content. But full-on happy.
And Dallas? What does he want? His dream of fame is coming true. Is it enough if your dreams come true but you don’t have anyone to share it with?
I’d had a choice to make. I could let her down or let her go.
Dallas is on a tour alright. A tour of self discovery. Will he find out he is Dallas Walker, stud singer or Dallas Lark, country boy who needs his loved ones? Is there any way to be both?
There are two men inside of me: one I know well and one I am still getting acquainted with.
And Robyn? What does she want? She has spent so much time and energy on making others happy and comfortable, will she know what she needs to be happy? Is it time to stop sacrificing for others and grab a little life for herself?
Loving Dallas is a great continuation of the Neon Dreams series. Ms Quinn takes you on the road with country superstars and down the road of finding what defines happiness. Is it following your dreams or making new ones? Dreams you didn’t dare to wish for? And love? Love means sacrificing for others. But how much sacrifice does love demand?

I did not, did not, DID NOT like Dallas Lark in Leaving Amarillo, the first book in Caisey Quinn's Neon Dreams series. The guy was a bossy, self absorbed, drill sergeant of a big brother to Dixie, his younger sister. I dreaded picking up this book number two for so many reasons but none of them held any whiskey by the time I finished this in yet again record time. As usual, it takes the woman to make the man...
In this case, the man needs some work. Dallas Lark has just left his band in the dust and is heading on the road to be a solo act. He just landed the gig of a lifetime, opening for a big name country singer on his big tour. Dallas is happy, he's worked hard for this, this is where he always wanted to be. But at the same time he's lonely and he's got a bit of writer's block...
Enter in the woman! Completely by coincidence, the main sponsor of the tour is the company Dallas' high school sweetheart works for. The girl who broke Dallas' heart. Or did Dallas break Robyn's heart? I couldn't keep it straight but I do believe that's how it's meant to be in the story. It's completely a "he said, she said" as to why they broke up. I know the score but you won't unless you get to the end of the story!
Starting out with that typical storyline, "what the hell are you doing here?", the story quickly turned into so much more than that. I think Robyn really made the story for me. She ended up being more than just a side character added in to match up with Dallas. She is all spunk, independence, and a bit of OCD. She is one woman who needs to relax her routine.
I've said it before but it bears repeating, Casey Quinn can write a sex scene! She did not hold anything back when it came to Dallas. Again, I thought I'd be let down by the "drill sergeant" (pun completely intended). I was not... and neither was Robyn ∗ba dum dum∗
Seriously, though, I'm really beginning to see what Ms. Quinn's style of writing is and she's one to not hold back. She'll take a story and push it farther than you think it should go. When you think it'll be close to the HEA, there will be just one more obstacle that you forgot needs taking care of. Or she'll throw an obstacle in NOT just for giggles, but because it'll make the romance that much sweeter when Dallas and Robyn finally get their HEA.
Which they do... don't worry about having to wait for another book (torture)...

I do love a good second chance romance and Caisey does not disappoint. I really loved Dallas in Leaving Amarillo, but I think I fell even more when reading Loving Dallas. Being in his head will do that though right?!
Dallas has always dreamed of making it big and honestly the man does well in the spotlight, it was made for him. But chasing his dreams always means leaving something behind. Last time he had to leave his high school sweetheart behind. Now several years later it's his band he's forced to leave back home. What he doesn't expect is someone from his past to show up for the ride.
Robyn and Dallas called it quits years before when he went chasing his dreams, but now she's working the tour that he just got signed on to and their past and present collide and when they do it is HOT!
I have to admit there were a few times I was upset with Robyn. I get her logic behind some of the choices she made, but that doesn't mean I agreed with them. Dallas is a whole different story though. Maybe i'm just a sucker for the hot musician though ;) Together these two light up the pages. I could not put this book down and finished within a matter of hours. Now I am itching for book 3 so I can see what happens with Dixie and Gavin. We do get glimpses of them in this book but not enough to go on. Either way this is another brilliant book by Caisey Quinn, not to mention the lyrics in this book need to be on the radio!
Another 5 star book!

Secrets - why do these characters always think that's the way to go? It only brings on the angst and heartache. Well, there you have it -- the answer in a nutshell that keeps the story rolling. And Dallas and Robyn certainly followed that scenario. The band "Leaving Amarillo" has broken up and Dallas is on his own after signing a contract with Capitol Records. He's out on tour and making a name for himself. Robyn has loved Dallas since high school. She broke off their relationship when "Leaving Amarillo" was just beginning to tour fearing that her "secrets" would prevent Dallas from following his dreams. Now years later, the company she works for is representing his musical tour and they once again come face to face. Sparks reignite and things get hot quickly. The road is still bumpy filled with jealousy and more secrets. You would think that they would learn to just blurt it out and move on -- but still the story must continue. And so it does. And it gets better and better and there is no doubt that love has never died between these two.
There is a whole lot to love about this series and these characters. I can not wait for the third installment which will bring the series to a close with Dixie and Gavin's story. Thumbs up for a series that so far has really been fun to read.

I received this book in a Goodreads First Reads Giveaway, but this is my honest opinion. When I found out that I had won this book, I read the first book in the series before I read this book. I was hooked as soon as I started the first book. Caisey Quinn has become one of my favorite authors. I started this book last night before I went to bed. I was just going to read for about 30 minutes. Instead, I read until 4:00 am, slept for three hours, and woke up at 7:00 am and read until I finished it. This should tell you how good of a book this is. It is the story of a young, sexy man that is beginning to make it big in the music scene, but at costs. It seems to give a very realistic look at what life can be like for a big time musician. I like how the author shows the two people in one, the performer and the man. There are some very hot sex scenes, but that is not the focus of the book. Instead, it is about dreams, family, friends, and love.

2.5*
Grosse déception pour ce second tome qui est nettement en dessous du précédent. L'histoire est vue et revue et le héros manque cruellement du charisme que l'on attend chez le leader d'un groupe. Il faudra attendre les toutes dernières pages pour avoir un peu d'action.
Bref je me suis ennuyée...
J'espère que le tome 3 sera à la hauteur du premier tome.

If I could describe LOVING DALLAS by Casey Quinn in one word I'd say it was predictable. If I had two then it would be predictable and frustrating for LOVING DALLAS was filled with ALL THE CLICHES!!! And they just made my head hurt. On its surface LOVING DALLAS seems like it had everything I'd love in a book for it was a rock star romance and it was also a second chance at love story. But, oh my stars, were these two leads so super frustrating! I knew Dallas was going to be a chore going in just based on how he was in LEAVING AMARILLO (my review) and while I liked him better in this book I still didn't fall head over heels for him. I also was way way more annoyed with Robyn so any flaws he had kind of paled in comparison.
Where LOVING DALLAS excels over LEAVING AMARILLO is in how it is a dual POV story. I don't think I would have finished this one if it had been told entirely from Robyn's POV. She was so quick to make judgement and assumptions and was often the one causing all the drama between her and Dallas. She based a lot of what she did on his high school self as well on what she thought he would do. Even though nothing in his current persona indicated that he would act as she thought. In fact, more often than not how Robyn thought Dallas would react was the exact opposite of how he did react. And I just loved when Dallas finally called Robyn out on all of her crap.
I also didn't agree with many of Robyn's choices in this book. Not that Dallas was perfect or gets a free pass as he had his douchy moments too. But he wasn't working under all the same facts as Robyn had as she didn't show him her full hand. Where Dallas often annoyed me was in his belief that he could only have part of his dream. Like he could date Robyn or be a musician. There was no shades of grey with him it was all black and white and like Robyn he made assumptions on the choices she might make and he often assumed wrong. I hated how these two didn't seem to know the word compromise and that there was a way for them both to live their dreams and still be together.
As you can imagine, LOVING DALLAS had a lot of unnecessary drama and even a WTF moment (or two) but overall I did like it better than its predecessor. As much as the story and characters annoyed me at times it was still a highly readable book and I read it in about a day. Granted I was also vacationing in Greece at the time so that definitely aided in the amount of free time I had to read. LOVING DALLAS will never be a favorite book of mine but I don't feel as though my time was wasted for the read of it. And I can see how it will appeal to many who aren't as tough on books as I am and who don't mind all that angst. Because there was a lot of angst. Though there could have been more so there is that. At the end of the day only you can decide if LOVING DALLAS is right for you or not and I think that you should give it a go if you have a few hours to give to this story.

Read the book while on the airplane. Had to flip forward a few pages because it has some in-depth love scenes and I was squished between two men who were reading shoot-um-ups.

An odd read during lockdown. Flights, music tours and eating in diners. Love and cheesiness felt good.

My Thoughts:
I am loving the Neon Dreams series! In Leaving Amarillo, we meet the main characters Dixie, Gavin and Dallas. With book one, we learned about the special bond between brother and sister, and their best friend, Gavin. We also learned about the secret love that Dixie and Gavin have been holding on to for one another. We got a to be continued ending, and now in Loving Dallas, Ms. Quinn focuses on Dallas' story and view point.
Dallas' dream has always focused on his love of country music. He has been the driving force and managed his band, Leaving Amarillo. He now has the opportunity to make it big in the music industry. Unfortunately, the music producers do not want his sister, Dixie. When Dixie decides to leave the band and encourages Dallas to follow his dreams without her, he is very upset and feels guilty. Then Gavin leaves, and Dallas is on his own performing as a solo act.
Dallas is shocked to discover that his first and only love, Robyn Breeland, is heading up the promotional campaign for the Kickin' Up Crazy Tour, and will be traveling with the artists. He never got over the fact that Robyn left him, and he still carries a torch for her. Robyn still loves Dallas, and sacrificed her relationship, so that Dallas could pursue his dream. As Dallas and Robyn are together constantly, they both realize that the love they once felt for one another, never went away. They were high school sweet hearts, but now as adults, they are falling in love even more the second time around, discovering the older more mature versions of each other. However, their lives are going in two very different directions. Robyn is becoming highly successful in her career as a marketing specialist, and Dallas is reaching stardom. Can they finally be together? Or, are they doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past?
Loving Dallas was a real page turner. I enjoyed watching Dallas and Robyn rediscover the love and passion that they had for one another. They had both grown and matured since high school, and it was obvious that they were destined to be together. However, there were a ton of obstacles in their way. Dallas had a manipulative and sneaky agent, Mandy Lantram, who I despised. They also had to contend with jealousy, insecurity, and the many pitfalls of superstardom. I loved secondary character, and famous musician, Jase Wade. He made a lot of mistakes on his rise to being a star, and saw a version of his younger self when he looked at Dallas. He told his sad and heartbreaking story, and gave wise advice so that Dallas could learn from his mistakes.
Dallas and Robyn were great together. Dallas had writer's block for many years, but quickly realized that Robyn was his muse. She made him happy, and every day these two were together, they truly enjoyed their lives. They had so much passion, excitement, and love for one another, that I got swept away in their romance. Robyn was a real spitfire! I loved the way she voiced her opinion, didn't let others walk all over her, was driven, and such a go-getter. Dallas was very sweet, possessive, and protective with her.
I loved the theme in this story about making difficult choices and having to live with the consequences of those choices. Dallas had to decide if fame, fortune, his passion for music, and living his dream were worth it, at the cost of being with those that he loved most. What a conundrum! The next story in the series, Missing Dixie, will continue Dixie and Gavin's story! I can't wait to see how everything plays out between these two.
My Rating:
I give, Loving Dallas, by Caisey Quinn, 4 First Love, Rise to Stardom, Life-Changing Decisions, Passion Filled, Forever-Love Stars!!!

I loved the theme in this story about making difficult choices and having to live with the consequences of those choices. Dallas had to decide if fame, fortune, his passion for music, and living his dream were worth it, at the cost of being with those that he loved most. What a conundrum! The next story in the series, Missing Dixie, will continue Dixie and Gavin's story! I can't wait to see how everything plays out between these two.
My Rating:
I give, Loving Dallas, by Caisey Quinn, 4 First Love, Rise to Stardom, Life-Changing Decisions, Passion Filled, Forever-Love Stars!!!

Loving Dallas
Caisey Quinn
5 Stars
We met Dallas in Leaving Amarillo and we loved him, right? He was the overprotective big brother who loved fiercely, was extremely loyal, and had big dreams. We pick up with Dallas getting a shot at making those dreams come true, he’s going on the Midnight Bay tour with Jase Wade. He’s actually touring, singing, and making a name for himself. Yet, he has reservations about losing his identity and not being the Dallas Walker Lark that his grandparents loved. He doesn’t want to become unrecognizable to his faithful followers nor to himself.
Robyn Breeland was Dallas’ first love. She was also the one who broke his heart, stomped it to pieces, and handed back to him. She walked away just as he was getting ready to take his band on a tri-state summer time tour. She didn’t give him a reason just said she had to do what was best for her. But was it what was best for her? Maybe so, she finished school and was working at one of the biggest bourbon companies in the world, Midnight Bay. She was newly promoted to head the campaign for the Midnight Bay concert tour featuring Jase Wade and newcomer Dallas Walker.
Can two adults with the history these two have live in harmony while touring around the United States? Dallas and Robyn come to an agreement that they are both adults, the past is the past, and they will stay out of the others way. Wait, what?? I’m sure they thought that would work out great for the first few minutes but when you have that love of a lifetime, can you do that? Can you really act like there’s no history there? When the attraction and sexual tension is as electric as it is between these two you can’t just put it on the back burner. It burns a flaming blue, is strong and intense and just pulls them together. So since neither of them can actually have a relationship right now they decide to do the next best thing - friends with benefits that no one can know about, especially Midnight Bay and Mandy, Dallas’ femme fatale manager.
Can they actually be friends with benefits or will too many feelings bubble up from the recesses of the past and take over their hearts? Will they be able to make it work or will the lights, the fame, and the touring end their relationship before they even get it off the ground?
Robyn knows why she walked away from Dallas all the years ago, so he could live out his dream. She didn’t want to be the reason he stayed behind and walked away from his career because that’s the kind of person Dallas is; He will give up his happiness to ensure someone else’s. So when Robyn is faced yet again with giving Dallas news that will possibly end his dreams, will she tell him or will she keep it all to herself to make sure he’s happy and fulfilling his dreams of being a country music star? You will just have to read and find out.
I was so happy that we got to keep in touch with Dixie and Gavin, separately of course, in this book. I can’t wait for Missing Dixie. I hope she and Gavin are able to get their shit together. They both deserve happiness and I pray it’s found with each other.
Favorite Quotes:
The boy version from my memories was sweet, polite, and somewhat distant. The grown up version of Dallas Walker Lark is all hard edges, and intensity – sin wrapped in sugar sprinkled with lust. And I want to savor every single bite. – Robyn
She’s the one who blows me away and brings me back down only to turn me inside out and send into a free fall all over again. She’s my muse. – Dallas

••
Loving Dallas follows Dallas and Robyn on their way through second chances and a dream-filled journey.
Dallas Lark is finally getting his big break in the music industry. Under the much flashier name Dallas Walker, he hops on board the popular Jase Wade tour.
Robyn’s company has scored the job in promoting Jase Wade’s tour and she’s thrilled to finally get her chance at proving herself within the company.
What neither of them expect is to see the other on the same tour. Their strong high school love that came to a halting crash years ago, is suddenly becoming the elephant in the room.
Knowing they both have unresolved issues and feelings to air out, they do the adult thing and talk it out right away. But some things can’t be expressed so easily and seeing each other for the duration of the tour will prove to be eventful and enlightening.
••
Dallas and Robyn obviously had high tension between them and things they seriously needed to work out, but the connection they held was so clearly present. The years had no power over the deep bond they once shared.
The banter was comical and sexy, and the physical attraction was as hot as ever.
I can’t express how much I relished in the fact that they communicated right from the start. Though secrets were still being kept after their initial meeting, they aired out a lot of their issues when they first realized they’d be working alongside each other. Even though we don’t really see their once thriving relationship, the underlying love and friendship they share for one another is so palpable that it’s easy to believe these two were once madly in love.
Their effortless moments of talking and listening to each other made their relationship that much more adorable.
The last quarter or so of the book was surprisingly intense. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what the outcome for those two would be. This story will definitely keep you charmed with every turn of the page.
I wasn’t able to read Leaving Amarillo before starting Dallas’ story, but that in no way hindered my reading experience. There are some moments that I believe had to do with book one, but it didn’t confuse nor distract me from Leaving Dallas. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a music based, second chance story with a little country twang. I was pleasantly surprised by this novel and really adored every aspect of it.

“Handing over my boarding pass, I adjust the guitar on my back and take the first step toward a neon dream I’ve been chasing for as long as I can remember. I knew I’d get here one day—I just didn’t expect to be alone.”••

Actual Rating: 4.5 Stars!
“More of my granddad’s wisdom comes to mind. A woman’s like a guitar, son. It’s all in how you hold her. After that he added, Get comfortable with her but never take her for granted, appreciate every single inch and curve. The imperfections are what make her unique, what make her yours.”
Loving Dallas is the second book in the Neon Dreams series and is the companion novel to Leaving Amarillo. I was a little surprised that Loving Dallas was the second book in this series, especially with the way things ended in Leaving Amarillo. I’m not gonna lie. I wanted more Dixie and Gavin. However, things happen for a reason and I’m glad that we got Dallas’ story first.
Loving Dallas follows the story of Dallas and Robyn. Dallas and Robyn were high-school sweethearts and had big dreams of their future. That is until one day, Robyn ends things. Never understanding the reasons behind their break up and not really giving Robyn the chance to explain things, Dallas moved on. Focusing on his career, sacrificing everything in the name of fame….
Robyn has always regretted the decision she made to end things with Dallas. She has a successful career and loves her job. But, not a day goes by that she doesn’t think about Dallas. Then one day, when she least expected it, fate decided to intervene and put Dallas back in her path. Now the two of them will be forced to work together and face feelings that they thought were in the past…..
Loving Dallas was such an enjoyable read for me. I’ve been hooked on these characters ever since I read Leaving Amarillo and couldn’t wait to spend more time with them. I wanted to know why Dallas was the way he was. What had happened between him and Robyn? Was there anything left to save? I am a sucker for a second chance romance and Loving Dallas does not disappoint. You can feel the spark, the connection between Dallas and Robyn almost immediately. Their chemistry is off the charts, unwilling to stay buried in the past. I found myself rooting for the two of them, wanting the truth to get out and for them to find a way to move past the hurt. They both made so many mistakes and I just hoped they wouldn’t make the same mistakes twice.
Loving Dallas was a fantastic addition to the Neon Dreams series. Caisey Quinn has once again given me an amazing story with intriguing characters that I can’t help get lost in. I loved the music, the angst and the romance. Fans of Dixie and Gavin, don’t worry, there are little breadcrumbs sprinkled within the story, that have me anxiously awaiting the next book!

Review by Lisa Kane
Dallas Lark, now known as Dallas Walker, is about to embark on a tour-without his sister, Dixie and his drummer and best friend Gavin Garrison. At the end of Leaving Amarillo. Gavin was going to find Dixie and tell her he loved her and Dixie was going to go RV'ing and fulfill a life long dream of their grandparents.
Dallas is feeling a little lost without the two of them, but he knows he owes it to his parents' memory and his sister to follow his musical dreams. Since their parents death, he has taken on the responsibility of raising his sister. Letting go isn't easy.
"Take care of each other,"he'd said to my sister and me before he and my mother were killed in a car accident involving a drunk driver. But he'd give me this look before he left and I knew what he really meant. Take care of your sister, Dallas, he'd conveyed silently.
He isn't the only one who is chasing his dream. Robyn Breeland is now handling the marketing account for Midnight Bay Bourbon the company handling the meet and greets for Jase Wade's tour. Headlining it, Jase Wade, is the number one country singer on the scene right now. It seems Jase, who enjoys spending lots of time with groupies, is interested in Red. (his nickname for Robyn)
Dallas and Robyn share a history together. They were each other's first loves and things ended badly for them. Their paths have crossed over the years, but Dallas still blames Robyn for things falling apart for them and Robyn is still hurt and devastated by their break up.
"Look, I know it's not ideal, having to see someone from your pasts intruding on your shiny new future."
So the two of them being on the same tour is a recipe for disaster. Throw in Dallas' unscrupulous manager, a pair of overactive jealousies and hot tempers and the truth about their break up is finally going to be faced and confronted. But at the end of the day, is the love still there between them?
"I saw you in a white dress becoming my wife. I saw my family." I hold her close and kiss her hair. "Be my family, baby."
Meanwhile, Dixie, Dallas' sister never heard from Gavin. But she lets Robin know she finally saw him, working in a bar, not far from where she lives. He wasn't alone. Seems these two will have their story continue in Missing Dixie.
"Oh, I heard from him eventually. Not because he called or even texted to say he was alive. I ran into him by accident, actually. and he wasn't happy to see me. At all."
This series has its finger on the pulse of the country music scene and all the turmoil and drama that sets the back drop. I am loving it and can't wait for Dixie and Gavin's story.
