DaltonThe thing about love… blurred by secrets, hard to overcome. She made me question whether what we had was based on truth or a lie.
Joselyn
Dalton was an obstacle in the way of what I’d always shied away from, and the only way to reach my end was through him. So, I made a choice to get close to him, even when I shouldn’t have. We were never meant to be what we became. I didn’t intend for something forced to turn into something real. In the end, Dalton was so much more than just a means to an end. He held the key to everything, including my heart. It was his to have, to hold, to break, and to mend.
That’s the thing about love…
It can’t be forced. It just happens, and once it’s in motion, it’s impossible to stop.

Angela K. Parker did a good job on this story, the plot was written well, it was filled with many emotions. Joselyn and Dalton may have had a few obstacle but they were made for each other. The connection and chemistry was strong between them, they were good together.
I enjoyed this story. Thanks, Angela K. Parker. Good work 🙂
This is a storyline that really touches your heart. When two people from different backgrounds who have been through a rough time growing up meet and because of what happened to them has caused them to be afraid to love and trust anyone. Josie and her older sister lost their parents to a tragic accident which cause them to be placed in foster care. Dalton has grown up in a home where his father was controlling to him and his mother.
Dalton comes home from a singing tour because his father is now dying. Josie and her best friend/co-worker goes to the airport to see Dalton and his group DOL when it lands, Josie to get photos for her newspaper and her friend is a big fan of Dalton singing group.
When Josie and Dalton make eye contact there is a instant connection. Little did they know how intense this connection will become.
I like how well the characters were developed and the emotions they displayed throughout the storyline. There was a couple of times I was fussing at the characters and laughing out loud, like I was right there with them. Now you know it is a good read when this happens while reading..
There were some plot twist and turns that I did not see coming, which made this a page turner for me to see what happens next.
I highly recommend this book to read especially if you like a romance, drama, with plot twists.

I have to start by saying this author is new to me and I’m glad I went in blind because this book was a wonderful read. There is nothing better than finding an author who gives a common plotline a new and fresh voice and Mrs. Parker has achieved that in Love In Motion. This is Dalton and Joselyn’s story.
Dalton is the lead singer of the band DOL with his two friends, Owen and Luck. Dalton has been called home from a concert tour due to his father’s failing health. He and his father have a very strained relationship and he’s not looking forward to being home, but his mother needs his support and he would never let her down.
Joselyn is an investigative reporter for a local newspaper. When she was a teenager a tragic accident leaves her without the family she loves and she’s put into the foster care system. She rebels quite a bit with drinking and partying. She’s learned to not expect anything from anyone, least of all love. She does have two friends who managed to break down her walls over the years, but she’s hesitant to trust completely.
Love is not what either of them is looking for but find nonetheless. It’s not easy and there are mistakes made and trust broken. Finding their way back will not be simple.
A lot is going on in this book and a lot of ways it could have gone but I’m glad the story played out the way it did. I did find some things weren’t necessary and you’re introduced to a lot of characters with just a little information on each. I would have liked to have more character development with Dalton and Joselyn but once the story begins you get lost in their journey regardless of that.
I am hoping and excited to see if the side characters get books. Especially the two characters who have a history!!
All in all, I did like this book. If you have not read this author before, give this book a try. You won’t’ regret it.
Congratulations Angela K Parker you have a new reader!!
This is not my first book by Angela and it won’t be my last. I fell in love with everything this story had to offer. Joselyn and Dalton were two well rounded and developed characters. They flowed like a melody bleeding from the pages of my kindle.
Joselyn is a woman who knew where she wanted to be professionally. Personally, though, that was another matter. I admired her strength to guard secrets, loyalty to protect, and heart as big as the ocean. She grew for me in this story, and we got to see how sometimes our best intentions to protect the ones we love, sometimes are the right ones. She is one of my favorite female characters I’ve read this year. I feel like I’m rambling but Joselyn gave me everything I would want in the main character.
Dalton had his moments for me that I wanted to smack him LOL. He was great for Joselyn though, and I loved the dynamics they created. Angela made his internal dialogue something I enjoyed reading. His struggles made him a character that you wanted to hug and put all the broken pieces back together. I don’t want to spoil what he goes through but everything on his journey to a happy ending had you reading as quickly as possible, yet not missing a detail, to make sure he would be okay.
Rose is a hilarious side character. I cannot wait (secretly hoping) to have her story (if she gets one). I love how she is so opposite of Joselyn, but they just work. Al added a unique mix to Joselyn’s friends and I think helped Joselyn to see just how much of an amazing person she is.
Owen and Luke! The remainder of DOL, are fabulous additions to the story and each brings out the best in Dalton in their way. Hopefully, it won’t be the last we see of them either.
Overall this story was very well done. I enjoyed it from the get-go and could not wait to finish. The only minor subarc I wish we had some closure with was Joselyn and Dalton’s mom at the end. I just wanted more on their relationship mending. Aside from that, I thought the author closed up all main plots and subplots leaving me only wanting more of this world she created.
This book reader/blogger gives it five twirling pointe shoes and recommends it to anyone who likes reads about musicians, bands, writers, overcoming struggles, and love.
Favorite line:
Things happened in my life that I had no control over, and the things I did, I didn’t do anything to stop or change the outcome.
Joselyn and Dalton are well written characters. The story line shows how love can come unexpectedly. It has drama suspense secrets and some twists and turns.

This is a well written book with strong characters in Joslyn and Dalton. The author pulls you in with all the emotions flowing throughout. She kept me glued to the pages with all the twists and turns. I enjoyed reading their story.

“Love in Motion was utterly fabulous. Joselyn and Dalton’s story was the kind of story you cant help but love. It had romance, a hero with some family issues and a sweet girl with a hard past too. They were a match made in heaven and their instant connection melted my heart. So I’m not a great fan of rockstar romances but Angela’s writing style completely trapped me. A cute and lovely romance that I highly recommend you.”
Love in Motion is a good read. When reading it I was hooked and didn’t want to put it down. Dalton is a sexy lead singer for DOL. DOL is made up of him and his friends, Owen and Luke. These guys are bandmates but also best friends and I loved the dynamics of that. Dalton is a nice guy with some issues. His relationship with his Dad has not been great. He and his friend’s head home because his Dad is sick. While there he meets Joselyn. Joselyn is a sweet nice girl. Up until the time her friend Rose drags her to the airport for a glimpse of DOL, she knew nothing about the band. Joselyn had a rough childhood and struggled a bit after. She works hard and is focused. When see she Dalton for the first time she feels a pull to him. These two have this cute instant connection hat they build on. This one is a cute read with some twists and secrets that will keep you hooked.
A different romance, the girl next door catches the eye of the rock star. Josie has had it rough but her life has been good with her best friends. Dalton has come back home for his father, along with his band mates. One look at Josie and he’s gone but it’s not so easy with all that’s going on. I admire the strength and patience on Josie. It’s a cute romance but also with its depth.
Amazing read! I feel like Angela Parker’s books are getting better each time i read a new one. Loved this read between Joselyn and Dalton. Captured my attention at the first chapter, and couldn’t put it down until the book was done.
This is a new author to me, and I was not to sure what to expect, but I need not have worries, and this is an author I will certainly be looking out for in the future! This is Dalton and Joslyn’s story. This is one of those stories which just had to be devoured in one sitting. This is a well written story which has relatable and engaging characters as well as an in-depth plot which is filled with twists, secrets, emotions, and love. I cannot wait to read more from this author, and I highly recommend for all.
I was so engrossed in this story that was so well written with characters that were so well detailed that as I turned each and every page I felt like Joselyn and Dalton pulled me right into their story as it unfolded!
Love in motion is an intense, up close and personal look at falling in love. Enter the music industry and the publiishng worlds and learn what happens when the two collide. The characters are well written. The plot is original. I liked the story. Language and sexual content.
Ms. Parker is a new author to me and Love in Motion was a surprisingly enjoyable read. This is a rock star romance with quite a few secondary storylines which make it a bit unique. Dalton and Jocelyn was very likeable characters but I would have liked to have read more about how their relationship developed — it felt like it moved from them meeting to having an all-in relationship that I didn’t completely “feel.”. Having said that though, I did feel the emotional angst during the last 25% of the book and really felt like I knew them and connected with them by the end of the book. I would definitely recommend this book if you like rock star romances with a twist (a few twists!). I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.
