Missing Dixie

Missing Dixie is everything I could have hoped for, and more, for the conclusion to Gavin & Dixie's heart wrenching, intense, and emotional love story...it's captivating, it's passionate, it's perfection. This book, this book, and Leaving Amarillo and Loving Dallas, these books are why I read. "She doesn't make music, or create it. She is music. It flows through her as she plays and it's an incredible sight to behold. There she is. My beautiful bluebird." Gavin and Dixie not only stole my heart in Leaving Amarillo, they owned it. And then they broke it. And I had to wait months for it to be put back together again. But oh was the wait worth it. Missing Dixie was worth every agonizing minute, day, week, month, that we had to go through to get this point... "I'm just letting you kow that once upon a time a devil fell in love with an angel, and now that devil is working on becoming a man worthy of an angel's love." There's so much I want to say about this book but I just don't know that I can even put my thoughts into words. Gavin is such a damaged and tortured and broken soul. He wants nothing more than to love Dixie, to be a man worthy of her. But he has so much baggage that he has to deal with and work through, his life has never been easy- it's been downright ugly at times, and he's afraid that he will never be the man she deserves. But Dixie just wants to love Gavin and to be loved by Gavin, damaged parts and all. "My heart belongs to his heart. And whether he thinks he deserves me or not, his soul is forever connected to mine." Missing Dixie made me laugh and cry, I was swooning and swearing, I was falling in love with Gavin and Dixie all over again. This book put me through a roller coaster of emotions, but there's not one thing I would change about it. Caisey Quinn knows how to write an amazing story that's full of angst and heart, one that will have you on pins and needles, not knowing where she's going to take you next. When I read Leaving Amarillo earlier this year I never expected the impact this series would end up having on me. I never expected the emotions it would evoke in me, the feelings it would pull from me, nor just how much I would become invested in these characters...I really am not ready to let them go. This series is really something special. On the way to a bright new future, on the path that was meant for us, the one that began the day I met Dallas and Dixie Lark on an old, dilapted front porch.
