review 1: There are some authors you go back to time and time again no questions asked, no synopsis read. For me, Nicole Edwards is one of them. Since I started reading Nicole’s books, I have absorbed them. And Vanishing Dreams is no different.You’ve met both Dalton and Katie before in Chasing Dreams but they were secondary characters. You really didn’t know anything about them. But you find out everything in Vanishing Dreams. Katie has a secret. A big one. One that she keeps from everyone. Including Dalton. Even as they get closer, she still keeps the secret. She doesn’t open up pretty much at all. And you know, when you're reading a book and the character has a secret? You know how you can guess it before the big reveal? I couldn’t. I had a ton of different scenarios go... moreing on in my head of what Katie’s secret could be but I wasn’t ever totally right. Nicole Edwards kind of shocked me with it. I truly love Dalton. He is super sweet. Super loveable and super loving. Super swoonworthy. He does have his faults, but for the most part, they are understandable. When he finds out Katie's secret, he bolts. He's mad. He doesn't understand. And I totally get it. Its a pretty big. Really major secret. It changes the way you think about the person. If you're new to Nicole Edwards and want you ease your way in, Devil’s Bend series is a great way to start. But really, in my opinion, you can go wrong with any Nicole Edwards books.~Katie
review 2: 4 Stars**#2 of a series, but can be read as a stand alone**Famous country singer Dalton Calhoun has it all: fame, money, and looks. Feeling restless with the same life, day after day, Dalton decides to change things up. Heeding the advice and call for help from an old friend, Dalton finds himself in Devils Bend, Texas. About as far away from the country music scene as one can get. Changing his music gigs from 10,000+ seat arenas, to a bar stage leads him right to her. The dark hair vixen working in the Rusty Nail has caught both Dalton's eyes, and she's not so sure she likes it. Can Dalton use his good old boy charm to win her over, or will his fame drive them apart?Katie Clarren is a down to earth country girl that was dealt a bad hand in life. Making tough decisions and staying strong has become a way of life for Katie and it's hard for her to trust many. She doesn't have time to get stars in her eyes when she meets Dalton Calhoun and she doesn't need the complication. At least this is was Katie tells herself every time she feels the flutter in her heart for Dalton. She knows a relationship with Dalton will only lead to heartache and she isn't sure it's worth it. Would Dalton even want her if he knew her secrets and is she willing to give him that chance?As Dalton tries his hardest to soften her heart, he feels Katie pulling away. Can he persuade her to let him in or will his persistence drive her away? And if she runs, will Dalton follow?"And the truth shall set you free" -John 8:32This book was not one I could put down!!! I was once again sucked into the world of Devil's Bend, Texas and was enthralled by the story Nichole wrote! I was drooling over Dalton (you will too) and feeling my heart break for all the pain Katie has been through. This was an honest testament to how sometimes love takes 'a road less straight.' I did give four stars because Katie's stubborn streak seemed to lead to far more angst than needed and the development of her character was not smooth. This being said, Katie is still by far one of the BEST FEMALE LEADS I have read in a book in a long time! I love a strong independant woman, which is a far cry from the norm now and days!! This story was great, complex and intriguing... the sexual parts were STEAMY AND SMOKING HOT! I can not wait until the next book comes out... and I am sitting on edge to read Jack's story!!
