“All I wished for was to experience that spark you read about, just once. What I wasn’t expecting was the Fourth of July and heaven on earth all rolled into one.” ~ Stella
Bass player Kade Tucker is known as the Magic Man, and not only for his riffs. After breaking off a disastrous relationship, he swears off women. Only problem is, five minutes later, he might have just met the love of his life.
Stella Bell has always done what’s expected of her. Until a secret letter and an unexpected proposal on the same day prove to be her breaking point. For once in her life, she’s going to do something for herself. As fate would have it, that means taking a spur of the moment trip to Nashville.
A hopeless romantic, Stella has been hiding her true self for far too long. And when a gorgeous, mysterious stranger rescues her from a torrential downpour, she decides to go with it. The hot, dreamy Kade Tucker proceeds to enlighten Stella in every possible way, until she begins to realize that some dreams really can come true.
But will Kade’s twisted ex and Stella’s family secrets – and a very accidental pregnancy –get in the way of their HEA? Or is this a star-crossed match made in Music City heaven?
Nashville Dreams is a super-sexy standalone rock star romance starring a hot alpha musician and a sweet & sassy dreamer who’s the one he always knew was out there somewhere. Now that he’s found her, he has no intention of letting any one of her dreams go unanswered.
Julie Capulet is an Amazon top 20 bestselling author of contemporary romance. She writes steamy he-falls-first romance with heart, heat and fairy tale HEAs. Her stories are inspired by true love and she’s married to her own real life hero. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, traveling, walking on the beach and watching rom-coms. ♥
Nashville Dreams is book three in the Music City Lovers series by Julie Capulet. In the previous two books, we have met Travis and Vaughn, two of the three Tucker Brothers. These three brothers are world famous for their country rock band, managed by their sister, Roxie. We have watched both Travis and Vaughn fall in love. Now, it’s Kade’s turn.
“She has to be out there somewhere.”
Kade Tucker is twenty seven years old. He is the bass player in the band and the oldest of the Tucker siblings. He is so happy for his brothers, finding true love. But yes, maybe he is a little bit jealous too. There are only two things that Kade wants from life, to make music, and to fall in love. Time and time again, Kade has tried to find love with the women he has dated, his latest girlfriend, Carmen, he’s been with for six months. He kept hoping to feel something but it didn’t happen. So, he ended things, deciding that he should just give up for awhile, stop trying to find something that might not exist. But, you know how fate is. The minute you stop trying, or in this case, five minutes, there she is. The one. His unicorn.
Stella Bell is twenty one years old. She is nearly finished with her English degree at Princeton. In Stella’s own words, she has always felt like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. She has a wonderful family, two parents who love her and a sister she adores. She has always tried to be what they wanted her to be. Her father, a professor at Princeton, thinks he knows what’s best for her. But it’s not what she wants. She has dreams of her own. With the semester over, she knows she needs to take some time to figure out what she wants, to chase her own dream of writing a romance novel, so she packs up and heads for Nashville.
Stella and Kade, both with romantic hearts that have been searching for that one thing that always seemed to elude them. As it turns out, it was each other. One torrential down pour, and a chance meeting puts them where they need to be. Now it’s up to them to take that next step.
I loved these two. Kade’s intensity towards Stella was just what I love about Julie’s writing. He just knew that she was the one. In the beginning, he tried to rein it in so he didn’t scare her off but it was a struggle for him because she was it. Stella might have been a little more unsure about what was happening but I love that she just went with her feelings, went with her heart, and went with Kade. Was their road easy, no. Kade is a huge international star. Women throw themselves at him. His crazy ex can’t seem to let go. To say this life overwhelmed Stella is an understatement. But still, she stays. I love that Julie doesn’t let them push each other away. These two are all in, are willing to fight for each other.
The epilogue was perfect. And Julie gives us a couple of hints of things to come which I’m so excited about. I do believe that Kade is my favorite of the Tucker brothers. My belly gets all swoopy just thinking about how he feels about Stella. Once again Julie Capulet swept me up in her sexy, sweet, swoony world. I loved every page of this and am already looking forward to seeing what she has for us next.
They met in the pouring rain, she was stranded and he was reeling from huge breakup ……. And after that day their life’s will never be the same
I have been anticipating the release of this book for quite some time…. Kade Tucker is standalone read, but of course we had read about him in the previous two books.
Kade is the oldest of two brothers (Vaughn and Travis) and one sister Roxie
There are only two things Kade want out of life. One, to play music the other is to find his soul mate …
Can you imagine, Nashville’s heartthrob bass player Kade Tucker’s complex, catchy-as-heck harmonies will blow your mind and break your starstruck heart, but he is twenty-seven and he has never been in love. Not even freaking close.
Kade has been stuck in a relationship with Carmen for just about 6 months now, and in that time he has been hiding his true self, just cuz he didn’t want to cause any melodrama that comes along with a breakup… But, Kade had enough of Carmen and breaks things off, and same time decide to put his desires of finding that one and only true love on hold to focus on his next important thing Music
Stella Bell, has lived in the shadow of her parent’s dreams for far too long Most would think that Stella lived the dream live, she had two amazing parents and younger sister Summer. Her father is the dean of the economics school at Princeton University
(Theo) is the guy Stella is dating, and he is her father’s idea of “a good catch, not Stella’s And Theo is planning on making Stella his teaching assistant next semester… their relationship is casual, more of a friend-zone kind of thing than anything! Their relationship lives in the boring zone, Yeah yeah He’s four years older than her and is an associate professor of English, but again boring as heck, and I will not mention the fact that they have not had sex yet , and they been dating for some time now
So if Stella’s live sounds super boring to you , imagine living it… So that’s one of the major reason she packs her suitcase and heads to Nashville to follow her Dreams
My only dislike, if you want to call it that about this book was after reading the following lines
I’m tired of holding back. I want to unleash the beast of my lust all over … someone
So, I’m thinking that Kade might have darker side to him, well I didn’t see that side of him… so I guess that was bit of disappointment for me in this book 🤔But Dang Kade had sexy alpha side to him and beautiful sweet side to him, so that will make-up for what was missing for me in this read
THESE SERIES… THIS BOOK… IS SOOOOO GOOD!!!! I THINK I WILL NEVER GET TIRED READING FROM THIS AUTHOR BECAUSE SHE IS MY TOP FIVE FAVORITE AUTHOR. I don’t know about you but for me personally her books is just what i want, even more than i want. The way she writes these characters, their love and chemistry is just amazing. More than amazing. It got me so addicted!!!!!!
I AM OBSESSED. OBSESSED.
I. REPEAT.
OBSESSED.
I WILL FOREVER BE READING FROM THIS AUTHOR.
SERIOUSLY.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS AUTHOR ESPECIALLY YOU LOVE TYPE OF BOOKS LIKE I DO BECAUSE SHE WRITES AMAZING LOVE STORIES WITH AMAZING CHARACTERS AND ROMANTIC CHEMISTRY!!! ESPECIALLY THE SMUT SCENES IS JUST THE BEST. I EVEN HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK SLOWLY BECAUSE I DON’T WANT IT TO END…. Thats how much i love this author’s books😛
Thank you author for making a great series and all your books is amazing. I’m in love as always…
💥💥💥💥THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A HERO AND HEROINE FINALLY FOUND EACH OTHER AND THEY ARE TRUE LOVE. HERO IS VERY MUCH OBSESSED AND ADDICTED TO THE HEROINE SO HE SAYS A LOT ROMANTIC HOT STUFF TO THE HEROINE. IF YOU DON’T LIKE THIS TYPE OF HERO AND BOOKS THAT JUST HAVE HAPPY ENDING AND SAFE LOVE STORIES WITH OTT POSSESSIVE ALPHA MALE THEN DON’T READ IT AND PUT BAD COMMENT ABOUT IT.
After pretty much reading good books thats not great enough for the entire week i felt weak. But reading from this author as always made me feel loved and awe again. I always needs great books like this especially after a not too bad but not too good books week for me 😂😂 not all bad but just not what i want… not what I’m looking for if you know what i mean😆
KADE STORY💚💚💚💚 I’ve been waiting for a long time for you!!!!!💚💚💚
‼️‼️‼️SAFE VERY ROMANTIC AND HOT LOVE STORY….
‼️‼️‼️NO CHEATING
‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE IS A VIRGIN
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS NOT A VIRGIN BUT ALSO NOT A MANWH*RE EITHER. He doesn’t sleep around even when he is a rockstar.
“You don’t usually sleep around. You tend to have long-term relationships, unlike your brothers.”
‼️‼️‼️THE STORY STARTED WITH THE HEROINE AND HERO IS WITH SOMEONE ELSE AT THE TIME BUT NOT SEXUALLY. SO WE DO NOT SEE THAT SCENES. THE HERO IS BREAKING UP WITH HIS CRAZY TOXIC GIRLFRIEND AND THE HEROINE IS ALSO BREAKING UP WITH HER BOYFRIEND THAT NEVER EVEN HAVE S*X WITH HER.
The hero did regret dating the ex girlfriend.
“I should never have let things get this out of hand to begin with. I knew i wasn’t in love with her from the beginning but I kept hoping that would change. It hasn’t.
His ex girlfriend never even go down on him which i find it odd but glad that was over 😂😂😂 and also the hero says that he haven’t have s*x with that ex for a long time….
‼️‼️‼️LOCATION: NASHVILLE
‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE IS 21 YEARS OLD AND THE HERO IS 27.
‼️‼️‼️NO GROUPIES. The hero did meet the fans but not groupies who wants the hero or cause a scene. NOOOOOOO….
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS OTT POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE ALPHA MALE. YES OVER THE TOP POSSESSIVE HOT SMART WISE BILLIONAIRE ROCKSTAR. He is a billionaire because of his cousin that manage the money and making him a billionaire. THE HERO IN HERE IS THE BEST. HE IS ALL ROUGH AND HARD AND COLD SOMETIMES TO ANYONE ELSE BUT SO NICE AND SO GENTLE TO THE HEROINE 🥺 I like it when the hero look at the heroine’s eyes and all the anger he felt is gone right away immediately… idk but thats romantic lol.
‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE IS A VERY SWEET, STRONG, KIND AND FRIENDLY AND HUMBLE GIRL. She doesn’t try too hard on the hero and even doesn’t realize how beautiful she is.
“I love that stella (the heroine) clearly isn’t worried about trying so hard. She doesn’t need to. She’s spectacular as is, without any effort at all.”
THE HEROINE DID NOT KNOW IMMEDIATELY THAT THE HERO IS A ROCKSTAR BECAUSE HE WAS HUMBLE ABOUT IT AND WAS SURPRISED THAT SHE DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT HIM. BUT EVENTUALLY SHE KNOWS AND SHE’S COOL ABOUT IT.
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO WANTS THE HEROINE SOOO BADLY AND VERY MUCH OBSESSED AND ADDICTED TO THE HEROINE… The heroine was cool about it, she did feel its a bit too fast consider they just met but she was cool and nice about it. She did not freak out or have insecurities. She did wonder why but not all childish like that. Which is cool because i can’t stand a heroine with childish mindset and insecurities 🤣 this heroine is cool and wise and smart. She wants the hero badly too… but compared to each other, the hero is more addicted to her. He even wants to cancel the show because the heroine felt sick.
“I’M NOT LETTING YOU OUT OF MY SIGHT BECAUSE I’M ADDICTED AND OBSESSED. YOU’RE MINE.”
‼️‼️‼️LOVE IN FIRST SIGHT.
The hero immediately wants the heroine soooo badly and the heroine wants him too but not badly like he does because she thinks maybe its kinda not true of how she feels. She never have a serious boyfriend before so it make sense…
“I’M ALIVE, SHE’S REMINDING ME. I’M HOT AND I’M OVERFLOWING WITH HUNGER AND CRAVINGS THAT’LL BREAK EVERY RULE AND IGNITE THE KIND OF PLEASURE YOU’LL NEVER RECOVER FROM.”
“SHE’S FASCINATING ME WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT FACETS OF HER GORGEOUSNESS.”
“BUT ON SOME LEVEL ON MY BODY AND SOUL HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN HER.”
‼️‼️‼️THEY DID TALK ABOUT PAST PARTNER AND THE HERO AND HEROINE SOMETIMES COMPARE THOSE PEOPLE. BECAUSE OF HOW BAD THEIR PAST PARTNER IS. BUT NOT TOO MUCH AND NOT TOO ANNOYING…
‼️‼️‼️MANY JEALOUS SCENES FROM THE HERO THAT I LOST COUNT 🤣🤣 And little from the heroine.
“I have this raging urge to shield her from his view and everyone else’s, to keep her all to myself. I want her safe. Protected. I want to bask in her gorgeousness alone, without sharing her. I feel like I’ve morphed into a fcking grizzly bear who wouldn’t hesitate to kill anyone who wanders into my territory.”
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO ALWAYS SAYS TO HIMSELF AND TO THE HEROINE WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT SHE IS MINE. YOU BELONG TO ME. YOU. ARE. MINE. MINE. MINE.
“There’s no way in hell I’m letting you go.”
“She’s mine. And only mine. Mine.”
‼️‼️‼️IT HAS DRAMA WITH OW AND OM BUT NOT TOO ANNOYING AND NOT TOO MUCH…
‼️‼️‼️DO NOT GET ME STARTED WITH THEIR CHEMISTRY. IS JUST AMAZING AND LOVE. TRUE FREAKIN LOVE!!!! ITS HOT AND ROMANTIC. ITS A DREAM COME TRUE LOVE STORY.
We get to see them having fun, getting emotionally about their family and family history, protecting each other, supporting one another, talking about their favorite this and that and them loving each other and having fun. Its so romantic 🥺🥺🥺
“THIS PAIN IS MINE NOW. ITS OURS. IT’S INSIDE ME TOO. I’LL HELP YOU CARRY THAT WEIGHT UNTIL IT CAN’T HURT YOU ANYMORE.”
‼️‼️‼️IT HAS SEPARATION FOR JUST FEW HOURS.
‼️‼️‼️TRIGGER: Death, sadness, blood, a little violence and kidnapping.
‼️‼️‼️YES WE GET TO SEE THE OTHER CHARACTERS FROM THE FIRST SERIES TOO. I WISH I CAN GET TO SEE THEIR EXTENDED EPILOGUE 🥺🥺🙏🏼 PLEASE AUTHOR CAUSE THAT WOULD BE AMAZING.
I’M ALSO GLAD THAT THE HERO INCLUDED THE HEROINE TALKING TO HIS COUSIN AFTER THEIR FIRST NIGHT LIKE WOW. HE INTRODUCED THEM AND ALWAYS FILL THE HEROINE WITH THEIR STORIES SO SHE WON’T FEEL LEFT OUT🥺🥺🥺🥺
‼️‼️‼️VERY HOT SMUT SCENES… So hot and so many times they done it and its just soooo hot and romantic.
The hero never went bare and the heroine is a virgin. Both hero and heroine did it without protection and it was romantic. The hero was a gentleman and take good care of the heroine…
‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING. MARRIED AND FEW YEARS LATER HAVE THREE ADORABLE CHILDREN 🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️ THEY ARE STILL VERY MUCH IN LOVE AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER ❤️❤️❤️❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH AUTHOR AND THE WHOLE TEAM WHO MAKE THIS BOOK AND THE SERIES. I WILL BE WAITING FOR THE NEXT ONES FOR SURE AND YOUR OTHER BOOKS ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙
👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽Thank you so much for reading my review❤️❤️ For you who loves my review and follow it, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I did not get paid or be told to do a review on a book. I’m here just to write review about a book so i can remember it. Its my honest opinion😚 I didn’t know at first people will find me and follow me and trust me to be honest, I was surprised myself to look at the notifications from people who reach out to me😆 So everything i write down here on a review is based on my personal opinion and based on my true writing. I DID NOT COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW OR WRITING SKILL because at first when i was using this app for one year i didn’t know how to scroll down on a book and see the reviews from others😂😅🤣 I know, silly me but hey I finally learned my lesson 😛😛😛 Thats why when people assume i copy someone’s review i was like what? Because at first i didn’t know how to use this app properly and i didn’t know how to open someone’s review because for a year i never follow someone or add friends or someone😂😂😂🤣 (I’m laughing so hard) 🤪 AND I NEVER COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW EVER. IF I WRITE SOMETHING WRONG OR DOESN’T MAKE SENSE PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND BE NICE OKAY. 👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽✋🏽✋🏽
I have a disclaimer down bellow if you have negative thoughts about my review😙😙😙
🌐🌐🌐➡️↘️⬇️➡️This is my own personal thoughts and opinion about the book so if thats not sit right with you or you feel I’m not being fair blablabla, please know that everybody in this world have their own different things that they like and don’t like. It may not be the same thing with you but thats okay because i am my own person and you cannot control me or tell me what to do. For example; i put ketchup (tomato sauce) on my fried chicken. You think that’s disgusting? For me its not and i’ve been eating it like that for many many years. You tell me to put another sauce and see if i like that better? I already did many many times in years but i still like the way i like it. It’s called differences between me and you and billions people in this world😊 be open minded😙 I respect people’s opinions about my opinions but in the end of the day if i say I don’t like it or i do like it, its up to me and its on me. And in the end of the day i always liked and show my respect to books and people’s opinions on books whenever that book is good or not good in my opinion 😊 Respect people’s opinions guys😙😙 I don’t want to write this down because its not really my thing to do it. To like address something like this when obviously i know the people who’s been reading my reviews many times and all the time, they are smart enough to understand and respect other people’s opinions no matter what their opinions on book or their point of view 😙😙 am i right? 💕 also there are people even though i already write “this book is different because i have my own taste of book” those people still comment my taste is this and that when HELLO… everybody have their own thoughts on books and what they want to read… why i read it then? I read it and give it a review because i have to read a book to give it a review… why not read the description book to understand before I’m going to read it? Hello just in case you haven’t notice, description books can be tricky because they write this amazing things about a book but turns out the story is so toxic. Maybe for me its toxic but not for you? YES HELLO THATS WHY US HUMAN BEING HAVE OUR DIFFERENCES, WHAT I LIKE IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU WILL LIKE IT AND EITHER WAY TOO. why i still write the review then if i just don’t like a book? Because I CAN and i want to, you cannot tell me what to do and not what to do🤪 if you still wants to be negative and be karens about my review on book after all of what i just write, i will never acknowledge you and simply ignore you because its not that hard🙏 I won’t respond to negativity comments🙏🏼🙏🏼 DON’T ASK ME AGAIN ABOUT WHY NOT RESPONDING TO YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS BECAUSE I ALREADY SAY IT HERE AND I WON’T BE EXPLAINING AGAIN BECAUSE WE’RE NOT CHILDREN SO ITS NOT HARD FOR YOU AN ADULT TO UNDERSTAND😌😌 YES MY REVIEW IS LONG BUT YOU READ IT ANYWAY AND ITS FINE ACTUALLY I CAN WRITE AS LONG AS I LIKE😎 YES MY GRAMMAR IS BAD SOMETIMES AND MAYBE ALL THE TIME BUT LUCKILY MANY PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M SAYING🤪 ⬅️↖️↕️⬅️↩️⤴️

Do you believe in love at first sight? Well, Julie's books will make you a believer! Kade Tucker; Magic Man, Rock Star, God of a Man, Every Woman's Dream, has been looking for his soulmate forever, his unicorn. He is beginning to believe he has missed her or she doesn't exist.
Stella Juliet Bell has come to Nashville against her parents' wishes for a reason she hasn't told anyone. She broke up with her boyfriend because he wasn't "the one" and there was no reason to stay together. While standing in the pouring rain, knocking at a door that no one is answering, she turns and sees Kade's blue eyes gazing into hers. The connection is magnetic!
The insta-spark and insta-lust between these two is electrifying! The scenes between Kade and Stella are hot hot hot! And these two can't keep their hands off each other! Throw in a crazy ex-girlfriend, loving family, and a letter that brought Stella to Nashville, and you have a story you can't put down! Highly recommend this book and this series!
Sounds like the beginning of a fairytale doesn’t it? Because it absolutely is. It’s a romantic, heartwarming, love story between a handsome man and a beautiful woman and they lived happily ever after.
I knew Kade Tucker was coming. I suspected he was going to be amazing. And I just knew he was going to be obsessive and possessive and sexy AF…because Julie Capulet.
Her heroes are some of the hottest, dirty-talkin’-est, and caveman-est (I declare this a word) ever. I love that about her heroes. Yet they’re also the most protective and passionate and giving and loyal men you’ll ever meet and want as your own.
Just like Kade Tucker. Oh. My. Goodness. This guy. He has such a filthy mouth. (yummo) Yet he’s kind and generous and…a romantic too?! Here…just take my heart why don’t you. He made my heart flutter and sing and do cartwheels from beginning to end.
Stella Bell, off to Nashville for a much needed break and for a mission to hopefully find some important people. Also to find her path and follow her dreams. She knows what she wants, she’s tired of feeling incomplete.
When Kade and Stella meet, even the pouring rain couldn’t douse the sparks that sizzled between them. I absolutely love and always look forward to the way Ms. Capulet’s characters fall, because they fall hard. I swear I fell right along with them.
I was so excited to dive into this story. I wanted the feels, I got them. I needed the swoons, received. I craved insta-love goodness and deliciousness, the author delivered.
When Kade and Stella were together, they were pure fire. She may have been innocent in some ways, but she wasn’t naive and clueless. She is strong and smart with common sense. And Kade was so supportive and helpful to her in all the ways.
He says exactly the right things at exactly the right times. He makes it known he’s there for her. He’s all in. When she’s feeling lost and unconfident, he’s there to reassure her she’s special and loved and needed and able to do whatever she wants. He will do absolutely anything for his unicorn girl.
I loved these two together. They made me so happy. Their story made me smile so big. I wanted to crawl into the pages and hug them both. And possibly ride a mechanical bull with Kade. *waggles eyebrows*
Ms. Capulet has left me feeling utterly satisfied and happy and swoony and tingly. She does insta-love extremely well and makes it so beautiful and perfect and makes a person a bit enviable.
I just had to see what the fuss was all about. Trust me, the fuss is GOOD.
I didn’t think there would be a Tucker brother I’d love more than Vaughn (from book 2), but Kade did it. He stole my MF heart.
Do you need to read books 1 and 2 before this one? No, it’s not necessary. But do I think you should? That’s a big, screaming-loud YES!
We get Kade and Stella story. With both of them breaking up with there partners. And well, both are trying to move on with their lives.
And Kade meets Stella right person wrong time. But that doesn't stop him. Oh no. He's going to make Stella his she's his one. But it isn't easy when his ex tries to ruin things. But I love that she didn't know he was a Rockstar. She treated him like any person, so I love that for them.
The chemistry is good between them. And I believe there's another couple!!
Ow/om drama, no cheating, slight secondary character, sexy times, virgin gal and no manwhore

So many great things to say. Kade Tucker is my favorite of the Tucker boys. He’s so sweet and swoony and take charge. Stella is patient and sweet. I loved the journey of her finding herself. Kade and Stella were absolute fire together! So steamy!
I love that their parents story and gage’s parents story were pulled in and sewn in at just the right places. Not knowing the back story (that you get more of in previous books) doesn’t take away from this book but it definitely enhanced it.
I also loved the whisper of suspense. No nothing but not overwhelming.
STELLA🎀 21, Lover of fatasy world,people pleaser, VERY kind at heart.
TICKS ALL YOUR SAFETY BOXES.✔
I'll keep it short because my friend Alexandra W already reviewed this one...and i don't think i am smart enough to write a review THAT good. So...you go and read her review.
But my parting words are....DO NOT MOVE ON WITHOUT READING THIS ONE.🥺🥺.
I am loving the Music City Lovers saga and this talented group of brothers. Kade is our 27 year old bass player and is known as the Magic Man in the Tucker Band. He makes chart topping country music with his brothers Travis and Vaughn while their sassy sister Roxie over sees them as manager. He has stood back and watched his brothers find true love but no matter how hard he tries it is not in the cards for him. He dreams of making music and finding "the one". It as though he is searching for a unicorn. He has just come out of a relationship and has sworn off women until he locks eyes with her. Stella Bell is a 21 year old woman on the cusp of finishing her English degree from the prestigious Princton University. She come from a loving family but has always felt like a square peg in round hole. Everyone seems to know what's best for Stella but no one has ever really asked her what she wants. As it seems her life is mapped out for her by her father the professor. She soon realizes that these are not her dreams. She needs to leave, regroup, find herself and forge her own path. She dreams of writing romance, finding the spark and feeling everything that the world has to offer. The moment they meet is as though they have known one another their entire lives. So many twists turns and surprises so just sit back and enjoy the ride! In this whirlwind romance we see them finally discover who they are, what they need, what they want and we watch them forge this path together while they support each other. This couple is an instant attraction with amazing chemistry and while you are falling in love with this couple and their story, they are sizzling off the pages! ~~Michele McMullen ~~
Book 3 of Julie Capulet's Music City Lovers series, Nashville Dreams, is another addictive story from one of my 'can't live without', one click forever authors. Been counting the days until Kade could be mine since I first saw him in book 1, Nashville Days, and it was worth every minute of waiting!! He's the hot, mysterious bass player in his family's band and oldest of the Tucker brothers. A deep thinker, soulful, multi- talented and of all things- Kade was just dreamy and scrumptious. Can't leave out alphalicous and swoontastic, but that's just a given with those glorious Tucker men.
To me, this story had an underlying theme of self discovery and reaching for those elusive dreams that a well lived life should be all about. Kade had acheived so much musically and professionally, loved his life and his family but his hope of finding 'the one' had never been fulfilled. He wanted what his brothers had, but it didn't seem to be in the cards for him.
Stella came to Nashville to solve a mystery, to find her true self- wanting so badly to belong...somewhere, somehow, to somebody. I just adored sassy Miss Stella Bell- she might be one of my favorite leading ladies in Julie's world. She was quirky, caring, funny and kind. A rare beauty with a heart of gold and a sweet, glowing innocence that surrounded her like a halo. Kade did NOT see her coming at all on that dark, rainy night in Nashville but lovely Stella, his once in a lifetime unicorn, was going to change his life forever! He was in so much trouble now!!
"I don't know what the hell she is. An angel. A goddess. A sign." "Whatever she is, she's mine."
Now that I've had the ultimate pleasure of reading this book, I know what the 'dream' part of Nashville Dreams is all about. It's Kade, Stella and their uniquely beautiful journey. Do you believe in fateful meetings and love at first sight? Well, you might by the end of Nashville Dreams, it's impossible not to. Every last star in the Nashville sky aligned perfectly on the serendipitous night they met....despite the pouring down rain.
"He's my dream man, my star-crossed lover and my hero, all rolled into one sexy, beautiful package."
The off the charts chemistry between Kade and Stella was sensual, steamy and hot enough burn a hole right through their private little love bubble. I can't contain myself when I'm reading something new by Julie Capulet...it's a giddy, feel good experience for me every time, besides the ansgt, drama and twists!! As this very romantic story came to a close, Julie gave readers what they always crave- a happy ending epilogue filled with the sweet highlights of Kade and Stella's future life together, the cherry on top of a perfect story and with Kade in the mix, you never know what surprises could be waiting.
This fantastic story, written with both points of view, can stand alone, but there is so much more to enjoy and discover when you immerse yourself in Nashville Days and Nashville Nights as well. Believe me when I say...brothers Travis and Vaughn's own wild adventures will become favorites too, just as Nashville Dreams is sure to be. A family of gorgeous rockstars with big hearts and personalities to share...so much to love in this series! Wondering what's next in the Music City Lovers world? I sure hope it's fierce little sister Roxie's story and her own search for 'the one'! I was truly delighted and thrilled to read and review an early copy of Nashville Dreams. It is a new favorite now for sure!
Saving the best for last, the reader finally gets Kade's story and hold onto your hearts ladies -this boy is so captivating. When Kade finally dumps his toxic girlfriend Carmen, he feels like a weight has been lifted from his shoulders, but he feels something is still missing. With fate playing a hand in his future, Kade ends up meeting Stella that very same night. Stella is at a crossroads between what is expected of her and what her true desire in life really is. Will this chance encounter be just what each other needs? Or will it be another hurdle for them to overcome before their finally get what they want? Holy crap this one locked me in from the opening pages and I could not put it down until it was completed. Kade and Stella have an instant connection that the reader can honestly feel in their hearts. The the emotions that Julie Capulet puts on the pages just leaps right off the pages and the reader does not want it to end. I now hope that the last sibling in the group gets their own story.
An unrealistic fairytale, but sometimes you really need something light and kind to read. I thoroughly enjoyed how the author tackled the subject of being adopted and finding out about your birth parents. The fact that the heroine's both set of parents managed to strike a friendship was very heartwarming.
Nashville Dreams is a story that steals your heart and needs so many more stars than five. Kade and Stella's journey is what dreams are literally made of. Kade will swoop in and not only steal Stella's heart but yours as well. Their story is an insta love that has fate to thank as a chance meeting has these two finding a connection they didn't think possible. The sparks literally feel like they are flying off the page as the chemistry and connection between these two is magical. They draw you deep into their world to what can only be described as the absolute perfect rockstar romance. The winning feature in this story is Kade's character, hands down one of the best I have encountered in a story. The devotion, love, possessiveness and the care and attention that he has for Stella is one that lights you up from the inside. The passion between these two is red hot and will have your skin on fire. Nothing is perfect is the saying but this story proves that saying is so wrong.
Kade Tucker has sworn off women, he only wants to fall in love and since that’s not happening, he is off relationships. Funny how life can be… five minutes later he meets Stella. Stella has never been in love, she wants to write books about hot, steamy, sexy love, but doesn’t have the experience! Can Kade help her with that? Can these two become each others happily ever after, with a crazy ex girlfriend stalking them . This was one great ride. I love Stella and Kade ! Well done Magic Man! While this is book three of a series, it can be read as a stand alone but you will want to enjoy every minute with the Tucker Boys!
i’m totally on a Julie Capulet binge rn. i have never read her books before but literally gobbled up 3 in one day and seriously enjoyed them all.
this book was so exception. i think this book is my favorite out of the three, couple-wise. damn, i just love Kade so much. he is my ideal type of Hero. the one who is quiet, brooding, patient and has a heart of gold. this book encompasses the most perfect imperfect couple. i cant tell you how much i loved them both! Stella was so cute and was a perfect match with Kade. while i found their storyline a bit boring compared to the other two books, i really liked how their story started and how deeply romantic they both were. this book had a bit of OW drama but i didn’t mind if one bit. the accidental pregnancy near the end was SO cute too!
my favorite Tucker brother is definitely Kade but Travis and Ruby gave me the most butterflies and Vaughn and Gigi had the best storyline (excluding the rehab part lol)
will definitely read more Julie Capulet books if they’re all as sugary sweet as this series!
🌟Brief Summary: 3.5 stars maybe 4? Kade has been super successful in all his life goal. He’s a rockstar in a bad with his brothers and super rich but he has been doesn’t have the one thing he REALLY wants… true love. He has been on the search for his UNICORN GIRL. This has lead to lots of failed relationships and after breaking up with his last disastrous relationship he has given up. 5 minutes later he just happens to meet his unicorn girl on the streets on Nashville.
Stella in in Nashville looking for the parents that gave her up 21 yrs ago. She just broke up w her boyfriend of 6 months and has left Princeton determined to stop living the life her adoptive parents want for her and live the life she wants. Her first day in Nashville she meets her destiny on the streets of Nashville.
‼️ Opinion‼️: Sooooo 🫤I wanted Kades story so bad he seemed so broody and closed off and like he had a deeper story there. Whomp whomp… he didn’t. We could just say this was more Stella story than Kades.
-KADE MADE THIS STORY! But t was the weaker of the 3 unfortunately.
Things I Liked/Loved -Kade was so passionate and deep I loved him so much♥️ he was everything. He was so HAPPY to finally meet his true love that it was so sweet and swoony.
-The mechanical bull sex scene was ❤️🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥 definitely off the charts and not one I’ve read before. 😮💨
-I liked that he closed the door on his ex and never looked back!
-No groupies for this man ‼️
-He’s is jealous and possessive to the extreme. Don’t try to take his unicorn girl away now that he has finally found her cause you’ll end up regretting it ☠️
-How supportive and loving 🫶🏻 he is to Stella. He will take care of ALL HER NEEDS FOREVER.
Things I Did Not Like -There wasn’t enough of Kades POV and story. Just cause we have had some of his story through the last 2 books doesn’t mean I don’t want all his depth and his story. We really don’t get to much about him this was almost all about Stella. I’m reading this for Kade so I wish it was more balanced.
-I found Stella story a bit boring 😬 I found myself not caring so much about her growth cause I didn’t really totally connect with her. Where as with Kade I would have liked more of his trauma and happiness after all he went through and how long he waited.

☆☆☆☆☆ Nashville Dreams was a romance that left my heart feeling light yet full. This is my first book by this author and I will be taking the first chance I get to read her other books. This rockstar romance trope focuses on Kade Tucker and Stella Bell. Both of these characters believe in true love and have been searching for it. Stella has always followed other people’s dreams for her but not what she truly wants. She has just finished a semester at Princeton where her father is a professor. She’s been dating another professor with zero sparks. She breaks up with him and travels to Nashville after reading a secret letter. Kade is the phenomenal bass player for the country rock band he has with his siblings. He has watched his brothers find true love and he wants that too. After being in a relationship for six months that’s going nowhere, he ends it. He decides to swear off women. Then literally five minutes later, he sees a woman standing in a downpour and saves her. Love at first sight is a thing and they have just realized that. He’s more of a believer then she is but she still sticks by his side on this ride that’s brand new for both of them. I quickly fell in love with both of them. Kade is sex personified. You would have to be dead not to turn into a puddle when his possessive and protective alpha side is solely focused on you. There’s a six-year age difference between them but it doesn’t stand in their way. I easily became addicted to their story and really loved reading them find their HEA. They definitely have their work cut out for them as obstacle after obstacle tries to get in the way. I highly recommend this to all contemporary lovers out there. This is my honest opinion, freely given.
I lost track of the number of times that I swooned while reading this book! Nashville Dreams is a highly entertaining standalone romance in this author’s Music City Lovers series and this story features the infamous bass player, Kade Tucker! I am not usually a fan of insta-love novels, but this author does an exceptional job with this particular trope and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. She perfectly illustrates how Kade’s and Stella’s souls recognized each other upon meeting and it was beautifully kismet.
The author’s character descriptions are so vivid that I was able to perfectly envision Kade and Stella. I adored Kade. He is hopelessly romantic, full of sweetness and swagger, and infinitely charming. He is the ultimate book boyfriend! Stella is striving to “break free of the shackles of other people’s expectations” and embarks on a journey of self discovery. I loved her vibrant personality and she is a heroine that I believe many will relate to. These two together are a magnetic force and I enjoyed the steamy, toe curling scenes along with the more emotional part of their relationship
The author incorporated that perfect amount of drama without it being over the top. The sweetness was also perfectly balanced out with the raw physical aspects of their relationship. So while insta-love isn’t necessarily my preferred trope, I couldn’t help but love this story and the remarkable connection between Kade and Stella. If you are looking for a fast paced, rocker romance with two amazing characters, a smattering of drama, and some very hot kindle melting scenes, then you must check out this book!
I voluntarily read an early version of this novel. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
Yep, I said it. I would love to have a Kade in my life. Stella is trying to find something in her life that’s been missing…enter Kade Tucker, famous bass player for the Tucker Brothers. She wanted to change things in her life and that meant that she left school, tried to break up with boyfriend only to walk away with a diamond in her pocket and is not doing what her parents want her to do. She headed to Nashville and in torrentious rain Kade finds her. There is just “something” about this woman. Maybe she is what he has been looking for his whole life.
Kade is a dark and brooding rock star who is full of love and compassion and would do anything for the woman he loves. This chemistry in the book was beyond hot. Yes, this is an insta love book but it made me a believer that it can happen. There is also a craziness that puts lives on the line along with a heartwarming prologue.
Before I get into all the things I enjoyed about this book, I have to talk about the things that didn’t work for me. I felt at times certain things were way over the top whether in the story itself or with the romance. Others might not have any problem at all, but for me it was a little bit too much. The other thing is that I wish we had more of the side characters. What I saw of them I liked, but I wanted a little more of them.
On to the things I enjoyed! I really loved Kade and Stella’s relationship. There was plenty of steam and I thought it was so sweet how they were both romantics at heart. My favorite aspect of this book was Stella. Without spoiling anything, she goes on quite the journey and I felt like I was right there with her feeling the worry, nervousness, and joy she went through. It was amazing to see her find any the things she was looking for!
Overall, I really liked this book and I will go back and check out the first and second book in the series!
*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.*
I'm literally addicted to this series and devoured the books, So far Kade's story is my favourite. Am about to start Roxie's story and have a feeling I'm going to be up all night xxxx Kerry Kennedy Author
This is one of the most beautifully romantic books that I have had the pleasure to read in a long time. I would also tell the reader that they might want a box of tissue close by. Kade and Stella meet and they are so in tune with each other. Their likes with music, food, sex, and other things. They just get along and get closer together. The chemistry is also there. I voluntarily reviewed a free advance reader copy of this book and gave my honest opinion.
This was an okay feel good love at first sight story. Kade is a famous musician and Stella is a Princeton soon to be grad. There’s a lot of fluff and literally now angst… so how good can it be. If you want some easy to Put down time filler meh.. give it a try. The writing is good so I’ll give a the author another try…. I mean, I didn’t hate it😁
Kade has Carmen Removed from his home, she’d been his girlfriend for the last few months but she was talking marriage and he was thinking Hell To The No! Security called and one cold hearted little lady removed from his life. So on his way to the bar he’s thinking about his state of being single again because he knows he hasn’t found the one and probably never will, then he spots Stella and he’s lost. From the moment he meets Stella Kade is lost. I couldn’t stop laughing because this guy goes from doom and gloom to this guy who’s so out of his mind in love, he’s hilarious. Stella likes him a lot but Kade after the first night he’s talking himself into forever, it’s nuts! I loved this book and I’m giving it five stars and highly recommending it. Now I’m looking forward to Roxy’s HEA.
I absolutely loved this read and this series. Kade personifies and oozes this sex appeal and his heart is so big I couldn’t help but swoon over how much he loved and adored his unicorn girl. Don’t get me started with the nicknames oh my goshhhhh. Julie capulet is such a talented author I couldn’t help wanting more and reading it in less then a day. Did i prolong the read? Yes because I didn’t want it to finish and that ending awww I want the next generation and Roxie’s books.
I couldn’t help love every page, chapter and generally their relationship it was tooooo beautiful to explain and has to be one of my favorite reads this year.
This wasn’t the steamiest out of three ( number one and two are definitely matched ) but it was the most heart tugging and emotional! I love this author, her innocent heroines and obsessed males!! Probably the best series I’ve ever read ❤️
It was a very romantic book! half of the book my eyes were in a wet spot, in a good plan. But it was not boring, as sometimes it is with too sweet books.
