Kylie Scott\u2019s Stage Dive short stories felt like coming home. I LOVE this series. You truly cannot go wrong with this group of guys and their ladies, and when you add in the kids there is never a dull moment.<\/p>\n<p>This collection brings together several short stories and novellas centered around the Stage Dive band members and the women who stole their hearts. Some of the stories I had previously read which I enjoyed being pulled back into those moments again. Revisiting these couples reminded me exactly why I fell in love with this series in the first place. A few stories were new to me, which made the experience even more special.<\/p>\n<p>What I adore most about this series is the balance. You still get that swoony, slightly chaotic rock star energy, but now it is layered with real life, marriage, parenthood, and all the sweet and hilarious moments that come with it. The love between these couples is just as strong as ever, and watching them navigate family life only makes me love them more.<\/p>\n<p>This collection is full of love, family, and laughs. It is warm, heartfelt, and the perfect way to spend more time with characters that feel like old friends. If you are a fan of the Stage Dive series, this is an absolute must read.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25626\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kylie is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today best-selling, Audie Award winning author.
