Defining Dallas: A Reason to Ruin Novella

I loved Dallas and Shelby from the start their connection was instant not only between them but also between Dallas and her son. The storyline flowed easily throughout the pages. I would have liked it to be longer. Looking forward to reading more by this author. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Loved this novella rounding out the boys from Reason to Ruin! After falling in love with the rest of the band members, I was excited to finally get to know Dallas and Anna did not disappoint! Finding out that her blind date wasn’t who he was portrayed to be, Shelby panics when she is spotted in the restaurant, but thankfully a stranger helps her out and she ends up having dinner with him. That stranger just happens to be Dallas, who she doesn’t recognize and as they get to know each other throughout dinner, the sparks and chemistry fly, but Shelby ends up walking away at the end of the night. The next day at his concert, Dallas sees Shelby and her son, and when her son panics and runs, Dallas helps her find him and exchanges numbers. Thankfully, Shelby’s son plays matchmaker of sorts by not listening to his mom and continuing to contact Dallas, and he doesn’t mind since he reminds him a lot of himself. Inserting himself into Shelby’s life and determined to get a chance with her, Dallas finally wears her down and while they go through a few misunderstandings, they end up with a HEA they both deserve. Loved this series and I hope to hear more from them in the future! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Dallas is the famous bad boy rocker on the outside but sweet loving and tender on the inside. He’s never shown that side of himself with women but feels this is different. Shelby is a single, hard working protective boy mom. She’s works herself to the bone to give her son a good life. When these 2 meet, opposites attract and the steaminess goes up.
