This book was exactly what I needed. Kaylee Ryan can write romance. Cole and Stacy were fantastic. She was apprehensive about him, with good reason, because of his past with women. Being in a rock band, he never really thought about settling down until he spends a lot of time with Stacy on tour. She didn't make it easy on him and that made him fall even harder. Watching him fall in love with her and realize he wanted it all was awesome. I love how the drama came from an outside source and only s

Another great story from Kaylee Ryan. Recommend if you are in the mood for a very sweet rockstar romance.

Nah, it was some guy whose names starts with a 'C' and Stacey? I think..
To be honest my brain has gone numb from reading this.

That cover...yum. I love a man bun...
Another sweet one. But not as good as the first and a bit slow and boring at times. Hard to get started....
Pretty good romance. He is in a rock band and has always played the field, but now he wants to settle down. He falls in love with our heroine and has to convince her that he can give her the stability she wants.
I needed this book. I needed a book that was sweet, and sexy, and funny; something that was maybe a little fluffy, quick and easy to read, and that was going to bring a smile to my face and a hitch to my heart.
And that's what Assured did. I have no complaints about this book. None. From the start, I was into it—it was playful and bantery, Cole was panty-melting and alpha without being a jerk, and I just really, really, REALLY enjoyed reading it.

Cole is not a shy, bashful man, oh no, the boy goes commando, and has no problem sharing the facilities, "just as I finish washing my hands, Cole barges into the room. He relieves himself as if I’m not even there." I enjoyed this book, I thought Cole would be loud, overly-cocky, and wild but he surprised me with that sweet side of his.

Sweet story like the first book in the series. I'm interested to see if the rest of the guys in the band will get their stories told. The author sort of alludes to it, since the girls are so curious about their activities, and sort of questionable behavior.
There should potentially be a trigger warning in the description of this book. Though light, for the most part, there in an incident that happens which even made me tear up a bit. ...more

This one was pretty predictable, but I didn't mind. I liked watching Cole win over Stacy, how he didn't let her know, just showed her by actions. It even took most of the book before they had sex, so you knew Cole was serious. It was also fun to see how everyone was on the road performing. The bit of drama at the end was crazy. I did like how the guys stood behind Stacy, first, then used the situation to get what would be better for them as a band.

Kaylee Ryan is one of my faves! She writes sweet romance with steam. She will make you swoon. She will make you giggle. She will make you cry. She will get you all hot. She will make you fall in love. She will make you believe in happily ever afters.

Sweet straight forward romance.
Low angst and drama. Always a plus.
Epilogue could have been a bit farther in time.
Everything was smooth sailing for this couple.
Good side characters. One big family.
Good in between heavy books read.

I wanted to overlook H's manwhorish past, but they reminded me till about 45%.
UGH!
He was ok then and the book was safe, but I don't buy in this 'all-others-were-nothing-and-you-are-everything' crap. A man, who speaks in this way about OWs, doesn't have my full respect. ...more

This second book in the Soul Serenade series is just the right mix of sweet, sexy and drama to satisfy every romance reader. Cole has wanted Stacy since he first saw her dancing at the club but Stacy wants more than a night between the sheets. As time goes by and this girl is so under his skin Cole comes to realize that he wants to be her more, but convincing Stacy might just be the hardest riff he will ever play. Their story will make you swoon as we see the sweet side of Cole and not just the

Nothing better to read than a rock star changing his man-whore ways to catch the eye of a beautiful woman. The instant Cole meets Stacy all bets are off and he must have her. But will Stacy believe that he has really changed? Or will Cole be the second band member to fall in love? I absolutely fell in love with this couple when they were first introduced in Book 1. Completely entertaining and highly emotional. I never saw the plot twist coming. I cannot wait for more in the series.
Love, love, love!!!
This is the best series ever, y’all. No, it’s not, but it comes close. Kaylee Ryan doesn’t know how to write a bad book. I love them all! And Cole!! Ugh. Be still my heart. I love a story about bad boys who get all the girls until they find the one that makes it worth quitting the single life and become completely devoted. That’s Cole in a nutshell. And the book is perfect. Five stars!

Much better than the last book. A little more angst,🙋🏼♂Thank GOD🙏, but only just a little. Cole, once he decided he was going to try his first relationship (ever), was 100% into it 💯. He never went back & forth in his decision, wondering if he made the right choice (like most men do at least once). There was, like I said, some angst😨....a climax🎇, if you will... but it was as weak as the foreplay☝🤭🤫.

This is book 2 in the Soul Serenade Series. Now I loved Empathic. It was raw and sweet. This book is a little different in vibe and situations.
One things that I was SUPER happy about was that no one died. I am not spoiling anything. I just mean in many of Kaylee Ryan’s books someone who is close to the protagonist dies. It was getting old and redundant. This book was not like that and we had a different traumatic event happen to our leading coupl ...more

I loved Kacen from Empathic, but I think Cole might have just won book boyfriend of this year. He is so sweet and sexy that you can't help but swoon! Kaylee Ryan writes some of the best romance books and this one definitely didn't disappoint. I can't wait for the rest of the guys stories.
