Insistent is the fourth book in the Soul Serenade series by Kaylee Ryan.
In this series we witness four badass rockstars finding and falling head over heals in love. So far, Kacen, Cole, and Tristian have all found love. Now it’s Gavin’s turn to fall into the inevitable! And let me tell you, Gavin and Cassidy’s love is one hell of a story.
Insistent is Gavin and Cassidy’s story. This is a true, punch you in the heart with all it’s lovableness, type novel. I have to warn you, there is a tad bit of angst surrounding around Cassidy and her mother who has Alzheimer’s. These moments legit brought me to my knees. I even shed a few tears towards the end.
Cassidy shows true strength through this novel. It’s never easy to see a family member suffer through Alzheimer’s. There were so many moments where Cassidy could have turned around and left the assisted living home where her mother lives and never go back. But she is a freaking trooper and put her feelings and emotions on the back burner to make sure her mother is cared for the same way her mother cared for her when she was a girl. It’s a bittersweet moment. One that really touched my heart.
The one thing that really made me swoon when it comes to Gavin was the fact that he stood by Cassidy’s side through all the tears and all the emotional turmoil. Instead of using his words and asking if she was okay, he used his actions and held her tight. He was legit there for her, which in the end brought more tears to my eyes…..I’m not going to lie, I was a basket case towards the end of this novel…
Enough of the angst because it’s honestly very minimal, but the moments that are angsty are so impactful. Now lets focus on how sweet Gavin and Cassidy are. These two legit had me smiling so hard my face muscles hurt. I can’t get over how cute their relationship is. For a rockstar romance this novel has an emotional dynamic that I’ve never seen in this trope. What you expect going into a romance with a rockstar is the typical manwhore who refuses to settle down. But Gavin was a complete surprise. This man is dedicated to one woman and has been ever since he’s seen her. He wants Cassidy as his girlfriend, his wife, the mother of his children, and he’ll do whatever it takes to make her see life with him could be great. So fucking cute!!!
Alright, I feel like I’m rambling so I’m going to end this review by saying overall I loved the hell out of Insistent by Kaylee Ryan. It honestly took me a chapter or two to understand the relationship between Cassidy and Gavin, but when everything sunk in I had a hell of a time putting this one down. As a reader who has only read Definite (Book 3) and Insistent (Book 4) I can honestly say, this book can totally be read as a standalone. But be warned, once you finish Insistent you are going to have the strong urge to marathon this series! That is my current situation. I’m dying to read the first two books in the series due to all the glimpses from the couples I received in this book. I’m very intrigued!
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
