Kelly Moore is one of my favorite authors (of any genre), and this book just reinforces that feeling.
This story is really well written, has characters that are created with tantalizing depth, and has a sexy, almost heartwarming story line.
This book had me laughing and crying and really, really hot and bothered.
I could not be happier with their HEA and how everything played out.
And the different paths you can take are freaking amazing!
Do yourself a favor and get this one. It is worth every penny.

Gypsy
Epic Love Stories, Book 4
By: Kelly Moore
Narrated by: Adam Riley
Kelly Moore has a way of pulling you into her story and making you feel right down to your core. It’s not easily accomplished, but each time I listen to one of her books, I know my heart will ache and be warmed. This story about Gypsy does just that. Jameson is a record producer and sees Gypsy on the stage. She is beautiful and her talent unending, but that is not what he sees in her. When they meet, there is an inexplicable draw between them that just keeps growing. But Gypsy holds secrets, and pain like no other. Will Jameson be able to break through and win her love? This story was easy to become invested in, and my heart held so much emotion, it almost burst. These two are so well matched and their chemistry intense, you can’t help but root for them. It’s raw and emotionally gritty and will definitely leave you with so many thoughts and feelings.
This is my first listen by Adam Riley and I thought he was perfect for this role. He has a good array of voices, but more importantly, he is able to instinctively give the emotional punch this story has. I really enjoyed his performance.

This was a great read, I liked how Gypsy was closed off and only allowed Jameson a small piece of herself for quiet some time and he had to fight to get her to really let him in ad allow him to see how tortured she was by the past. This is a sad and tragic love story that has you go through plenty of emotions as you read you hope the love Jameson has for Lyla will win over the darkness she has in her heart.
Wow. This is the story of Lyla (Gypsy) and Jameson. I read the HEA ending because that is what I like. This is an amazing love story that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you with an empty box of tissues. It is riveting and emotionally charged with awesome characters and story line. Author Moore has a way of leaving a reader in pieces and rebuilding them with her stories. This one is no different. A must read in my book!
All I can say is wow! Great read!
The author wrote a beautiful story. It’s a quick, easy read. This book is deep and wrote with feeling. I felt the pain and love in the lyrics of the songs sung by Gypsy. I was sucked into the story. I felt the love and loss that both of the characters experienced. I was heartbroken with the story’s tragic ending.
Lyla is broken beyond repair. Not even Jameson’s love is able to patch the deep cracks in her heart. When Lyla’s story comes to a tragic end. Jameson fully understands the pain she lived with for years.
“How do you unbreak the broken?”
So, I knew from the beginning that I was going to read both endings. Even if the sad ending made me cry, I would power thru. Well, if the object was to make me weep and hug my husband and kids while they look at me like I’ve lost my mind, it was a success. It was so well written and evoked all the right emotion, I can almost forgive Kelly for the tears I shed.
Now, I can fully forgive Kelly because there’s also a happy ending to pull you out of your funk! Yay! No need to remain sad.
Definitely 5 stars!!
Still picking up used tissues over here! This book is beautifully amazing. Our two main characters Lyla (aka Gypsy) and Jameson, have been brought together by music. Gypsy has so much talent and Jameson wants to help her advance but can be do that with the chemistry he’s feeling? Will she even allow him in as hurt as she’s been? This book is raw and gritty and consuming and I loved it! (Yes that was a lot of ands) I also enjoyed that you could choose your ending. I myself had to read both. But you can make up your own mind! Overall Kelly Moore did not disappoint us with another work of talent .
This book is a hauntingly realistic story of Lyla and Jameson. Their’s is a tale of tragedy, of love, loss, of perhaps finding new love and allowing that love in and allowing it to effect change. Be prepared with tissues for this one. It will rip your heart out, and cautiously heal it again. Kelly Moore is great at creating characters that bring every emotion out of the reader. This book 4 of the Epic Loves series is no exception, and this one has music. Words, lyrics that are so strong that you can hear the song in your head as you read the story. Kelly is also skilled at twists in her stories, the biggest in this book is the ending. If you are looking for the happily ever after, the original ending is not for you, it will leave you raw and realizing that life is not always sunshine and rainbows.The alternate will leave you still reading, but give you the happy that you are wanting. Well done Ms. Moore. This series is what you were meant to write.
Some people read books to escape reality. But I like when an author will write about subjects that aren’t easy. Hats off to you Kelly. Thank you for writing Gypsy. It’s a wake up call. I work in the mental health field so I know this story wasn’t easy to write but it also hits close to home for me. Jameson and Gypsy story isn’t going to be easy on your heart but it will be a story/journey that will stick with you. You have to read Gypsy!
This story spoke to me, more than I expected. So emotional and both happy and sad story at the same time. I wish this was only fiction, but it isn’t – everywhere there is someone that feels similar that Gypsy, Elliot and Jameson feel/felt.
I always wait for a new story by Kelly Moore, but this one….is special.

This book is definitely not your standard warm, sweet romance, but it’s a wonderful book that I’m glad I had the chance to read.
The original songs that were written by Lyla were just amazing. I was so into the story that these songs jump off the pages & sang to me.
Kelly Moore is one of my favorite authors! Her books are usually edgy, with unique characters facing real life issues. She may not always give us your standard HEA, but oh my do you get to enjoy heartfelt storylines and roller coasters of emotions that lead to one hell of a book hangover!
The great plot was well written and the characters were so well developed that as I turned each page the chemistry between the characters kept me totally hooked until the very last page!

I was introduced to this author through another series, Fated Lives. I enjoyed this books and when I seen this one, I clicked on it. Of course, I didn’t realize this this is book four in the Epic Love Stories series. This first thing I realize is I have got to go back and read the first three books for myself, not that they are needed to appreciate and enjoy this one. Meet Lyla, she is a broken woman with an amazing voice and an incredible talent for writing great songs. With the opportunity of being discovered comes the price of her secrets, can she take that risk? Lyla has a past that will break your heart and bring tears to your eyes. As you read her story, all you want for her is the opportunity for her to experience love and happiness. Jameson is a music producer that is captivated by Gypsy’s voice. When he meets her he is becomes invested both professionally and unprofessionally. He sees Gypsy and just wants to help her, to try to give her a few pieces back of the parts she has lost or at the very least mend them a little more. This book will captivate you and lock you into an emotional roller coaster ride that will leave you sniffling and smiling. This truly is an epic love story and I cannot wait to tackle rhe rest of this series.

I highly recommend reading this book and make sure you read the version as the author sees it, not the HEA ending version. Jameson is a music producer and gets enraptured by Gypsy (aka Lyla) when he hears her sing. He knows there is a lot of pain in her eyes and she drinks a lot. When she lets him in a little at a time, he is glad. Even though she says she doesn’t want to fall in love, that is exactly what she ends up doing. The reason she didn’t want to fall in love is heartbreaking, make sure to have kleenex around. Just when everything seems like it is going to turn out ok for Jameson and Lyla, the house of cards comes crashing down. Will Jameson be able to save her again or is this final straw that will break Lyla for good? A heartbreaking, realistic story about fame, love, heartbreak and trying to move on. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
Jameson works in the music industry so when he hears Layla and her music he tries to help her but she has some very serious mental health issues and as much as he as fallen is love with her he can’t help with her burdens. He only things he knows now is that he has to move away from Nashville to try escape his memories of the woman who captured his heart.

A heartbreaking and tragic well written story about love and healing. This addictive storyline had me on an emotional high as the struggles to overcome tragic loss is real. This amazing read had incredible chemistry and drama. You are given two endings to this story so the satisfaction cannot be denied at the end of this heartbreaking but satisfying read.
