She came into my life without warning. It wasn’t love at first sight, but the more time I spent with her, I knew she was the one. Our relationship was complicated, and I knew I had my work cut out for me. I have to prove to her that she’s all I see. That no matter how the past reads, we can re-write the future.He’s the sexiest one of the group, in my personal opinion. We’re friends, and … and colleagues, well technically he’s my boss. He’s also the man that consumes my thoughts, and my desires. I have too much at stake to allow myself to jump into bed with him, but I really really want to.
One taste and I know I’ll never be the same. Cassidy can prolong this all she wants, but I know how it ends. When she’s mine.
He’s relentless, and I let him drag me under his spell. It can’t happen again, but Gavin, he’s Insistent that this is just the beginning.

This is Gavin book and I’m sad to see this series come to a end but it’s the best way to go. Gavin ever since he layed eyes on Cassidy at their record label she changed the game on Gavin. Cassidy was hit hard with the attraction to Gavin but he was her boss now and there was no way she was risking her job for a hookup. Her Mom depended on her so she had to keep saying no. But one trip changes everything, still scared but she cant say No anymore. These two just like the other couples have so much love to give each other and Gavin will not stop till he has won the heart of the only woman to own his Heart. Amazing book and amazing series.
This one is about Gavin who is the quiet member of Soul Serenade. I have been waiting for his story since the first one. Just something about him that peaked my interest. Cassidy works for the record label and ever since meeting her she has been a game changer for Gavin. Cassidy was hit hard when she realized how she felt about Gavin but working for the label and literally for Gavin makes things difficult. Will these two make it work or will Cassidy lose everything? Well written amazing book and series. I absolutely love the Soul Serenade boys and their stories. Great ending to the series.
Insistent was like music for your soul. Gavin and Cassidy’s story was one that serenaded your heart and took you on a tour of emotions. A love story about fighting for what you want, claiming what’s yours and dancing to the revelations. Their story was hot, romantic, emotional and will engulf you in a crescendo of feelings. Gavin is the type of man we all crave, one who realizes and accepts the mistakes of his past but understands his future. A truly beautiful love story packed full of heart. Such an amazing way to finish the Soul Serenade series on and I think I am going to truly miss these guys.
I fell in love with Gavin all the way back in the first book of the Soul Serenade Series. He is a swoony, sexy, quiet hottie! Kaylee Ryan writes amazing romances and Insistent is another 5 star read for me! I highly recommend this book!!
FINALLY!!! Gavin and Cassidy get their turn, and Kaylee Ryan did them good! I love the Soul Serenade series. These guys have a brotherhood like nothing else. They started as friends and grew to be brothers. Now that all of the guys are married, Gavin is feeling like he is missing something. Only problem is that he has be lusting after Cassidy for a long time. Cassidy has a pile of stuff on her plate that makes her refuse Gavin every time.
This book has all the feels. Love the way Kaylee writes.
5 SUPER STARS… more if I could!
Absolutely love this book shows how quickly love can happen
This was an awesome ending to the Soul Serenade series by Kaylee Ryan. This is the story we have all been waiting for…Gavin and Cassidy. We have gotten glimpses as to who Gavin was always interested in and now we get to watch it play out.
Both Gavin and Cassidy have liked each other for some time but Cassidy has been denying all of Gavin’s requests to date due to an illness her mother has and not wanting to ruin her friendship with Gavin and losing her job. After spending four days together, just the two of them, they realize they cant be without each other, but Cassidy is still holding back. After an unfortunate event Cassidy realizes that she is wasting time and gives the relationship a try, which turns out to be the best thing she could have done. Their relationship blossoms from there and we get to see a bit of their life together as a married couple.
The ending of the book is a nice wrap up to the series where we get to see each member of Soul Serenade in their emphatic, assured, definite and insistent relationships with their women and families.
A beautifully written book and series.
Insistent is the final book in the Soul Serenade Series, and it was so good. This story can be read as a standalone, as I missed the previous book and had no problems following this one. This band and their ladies were a family, they supported eachother, and I liked the banter between them. I laughed smiled, and even had a few tears with them. This is Gavin and Cassidy story and they had a great connection, and they were so perfect for eachother. I enjoyed the books I read in this series, and I know I will go and start at the beginning to catch up on the ones I missed.
Gavin is strong and handsome and he is the last member of the group to be single, be he has his sights on changing that. He just has to convince Cassidy of that. Cassidy loves her job working for the guys at Soul Records. She needs this job to pay for her mother’s medical expenses, she can’t risk that even if she can’t stop thinking about Gavin.
What a fantastic book! Gavin is such an amazing guy! He refuses to give up on Cassidy. He is her rock when she needs him most! Emotional and sexy, this book will suck you in from the start! A must read!
You know that elusive book hangover we all look for? Kaylee delivers that with Insistent. Every book Kaylee puts out, I always say it is my favorite one and yes, it happened again!!! She knows how to keep readers entertained and definitely keeps us on our toes. Her books are heartwarming, tender, funny, sexy, and romantic. She puts her heart and soul into each and every book she publishes and you can tell this. Insistent took me through several emotions, I may have even shed a tear or two. Wonderful way to end the series.
Kaylee Ryan delivered in a big way with Insistent, book 4 in the Soul Serenade series. Gavin is the quiet unassuming member of Soul Serenade who has had my interests peaked since book one. In this book we find out just why he’s been working so hard at the label and who the mystery lady is he’s been texting. Let me tell you, this hot rocker is so sweet and Insistent that he will win your heart. As much as Cassidy wants to give in to the attraction and pull to Gavin, her job with the label is too important to risk by having a fling with her boss. Cassidy didn’t stand a chance. Watching this all play out had me reading non stop. You’ve got to read this book to see how it all plays out! The whole gang from Soul Serenade are in this book and just add to the story. Insistent is a 5 star must read!

Insistent by Kaylee Ryan was a HOT and FANTASTIC read! Insistent by Kaylee Ryan is the 4th book in her Soul Serenade Series. This was the first book that I have read by Kaylee Ryan and it won’t be my last! I am going back to read the first three books in the series. That’s how fantastic Insistent is. I couldn’t put my kindle down until I finished reading this book! It had me wanting to read more!
Insistent explores the budding romance between Cassidy and Gavin. Gavin knew he wanted Cassidy the moment that he met her. Gavin knew then that he wanted forever with Cassidy. Gavin is part of the rock band called Soul Serenade and he is also part owner of Soul Records along with his other three members of the band that he thinks of as his brothers. Cassidy works for Soul Records as well. Cassidy is afraid to explore the relationship with Gavin because she needs her job to help with the care of her mother who has Alzheimer’s and is in an assisted living facility. Cassidy feels that if she gives in to the passion and love that she feels for Gavin, she will lose her job. The other three band members and their wives decide to send Gavin and Cassidy away to listen to a band that they was interested in signing to their label.
Do Cassidy finally give in to the passion that she feels for Gavin? Will Gavin convince Cassidy that they belong together forever? Do Cassidy and Gavin get their happily ever after? You will have to read Insistent by Kaylee Ryan to find out! This book has everything you will love in a romance novel. It has a little suspense, romance and lots of steamy sex. Kaylee Ryan shows us that if we get over our fears and doubts that we can finally feel the love that is there for us. We can all have our happily ever after.
I have not read any of the other books from the Soul Serenade series prior to this one but it was not necessary for a background story. I loved Gavin I felt that he was so genuine and I could feel his love for Cass. Can I just say I also loved that Kaylee used the name Cora 🙂 my 2 1/2 year olds name is Cora! Overall this was a wonderful read and I fell in love with all of the characters, they are one big family! I will definitely be catching up on the rest of the series!
Gavin and Cassidy are the last couple in the Soul Serenade series and I have been rooting for them since Cole’s book. Gavin is the last bachelor and it’s not for lack of trying. Cassidy is the fighting the attraction and being stubborn. They are friends and she is Gavin’s employee which makes her scared to take a risk. With the way she grew up taking risk with her job makes her more stubborn than she needs to be. Gavin doesn’t give up though because even though she constantly turns him down he keeps hoping she will finally give in. When they both get the chance to go away for a few days he puts up the biggest fight he can to finally get what he wants in life. The chemistry between them cannot be denied and I do not know how Cassidy can fight so hard to not give in. I would have giving in a long time ago if Gavin wanted me. The way Kaylee describes him it’s so dreamy and who doesn’t want a sexy musician.
This story is more about family, love and finding that one person who will make all your dreams come true. It’s a quick read and there is no drama taking over the story line which is a major plus. I did get a little confused with the timeline in the story but that didn’t deter me from enjoying it. If you haven’t read any of the previous book go start them now because Gavin and Cassidy will only make you enjoy the series even more. Logan and Kacen are still my favorite couple with Tristan and Lauren in second. The boys of Soul Serenade will be a hard act to follow for all males out there.
INSISTENT
1. Demanding something.
2. Persistent.
3. Compelling attention or notice.
Kaylee Ryan knows how to write one heck of a romance book. I am so sad to see this series end, but Kaylee went out with a bang. Gavin, Gavin, Gavin. That man is astronomical. I could read Insistent a million times and still want more. Insistent left my heart so full, with a smile is still on my face, and Gavin and Cassidy’s story on constant replay in my mind. As always, Kaylee Ryan’s writing is flawless, with no subject left undone, with just the right amount of heat, and a love that was just flowing from the pages. This dual POV also features previous characters from the past Soul Serenade books. Also, one of my favorite things that this author does, is includes the Title in the book. To me, this makes the story feel that much more connected to the actual story line.
Gavin. To be honest there are no words that I can truly express to describe this man, but I’ll try. He is my absolute favorite H. He is so passionate, devoted, INSISTENT. A truly humble human being who lives life without taking things for granted. A talented musician that sees family when it comes to his band mates, and will stop at nothing to help them anyway they can. A man that fights for what he wants with nothing to deter him away.
Cassidy. A woman that has overcome her struggles through her younger life, to get to where she is. A woman that is independent, headstrong, and stuck in her ways. A sensible woman that doesn’t like to take unnecessary risks in her personal life or professional.
In past books we can see Cassidy and Gavin’s attraction, and Gavin’s pursuit to get Cassidy. Cassidy has her reasons on not wanting to pursue things with Gavin though. Can Gavin push past Cassidy’s walls to get the forever he was always want from her? Or does Cassidy keep her wall up from Gavin for good?
*I definitely recommend this book. Insistent is one, that faces real life issues, with a man not willing to give up his pursuit to a woman that constantly pushes him away.
Gah! I loved this book and series SO much! I’m sad that this is the final book with these amazing characters! I can’t recommend the series enough!!
Insistent is the last book in the Soul Serenade series and let me tell you, I’m hooked. I haven’t read the first three books in the series but I will definitely be binge reading them now!
Gavin is confident, sweet and he is one sexy man who knows what he wants and that is Cassidy. He’s bound and determined to show Cassidy how they can be so good together but Cassidy resists him at every single turn.
Cassidy has had one rough life and doesn’t want to put any of that in jeopardy now that she knows her boss is interested in her. Cassidy feels the attraction too but she’s got too much on the line and just cannot choose between Gavin and her job.
I really enjoyed the relationship between Gavin and Cassidy. The give and take, the push and pull, the feeling of not wanting to give up on a love that is meant to be. The way Gavin treats Cassidy through everything is just simply beautiful! I loved this book and will be going back to read the rest of the series!
**4.5 Stars**
Kaylee Ryan has a knack for writing these alpha swoony men you can’t help but fall for, and Gavin was no exception. If you want a lay it all out for you, I’m going to stop at nothing to make you mine kind of hero, Gavin is it. Cassidy definitely made him work for it, and the only thing keeping this book from 5 stars was her inability to let him in sooner.
Insistent was an easy, engaging read with great writing and awesome characters. This close knit group of friends/family have such a tight bond and I loved how the book had snippets of all of the character’s lives and relationships. It was a great wrap up of the group as a whole. Kaylee Ryan will continue to be a one click author for me!!!
I have been in love with this series since the first book came out – and I have waited patiently for Gavin’s story! So worth the wait! Insistent is everything I wanted it to be and more! Cassidy was so perfect for Gavin! Chemistry and heart and soooooo much heat! FIVE STARS!!
I loved this book! this is book Four in the Soul Serenade series. This is the story of Cassidy and Gavin.
This can be read as a standalone but you will want to read all of the books in the series because you will want to know more about the other characters.
With all the band mates settling down and having kids, Gavin wanted that as well. Lets be honest he has wanted it for a while but trying to get Cassidy to see that she was it for him was taking some time. This story was set in the perfect setting. Gavin is the sweet rock star, he shows that he will do anything for Cass.
Cassidy wants Gavin just as much as he wants her but she is holding back for reasons I can understand, will the reasons keep them apart or will Gavins insistent win out and they will get their happy ever after?
As always Kaylee has written another amazing story full of feels and happy moments. Thanks for another amazing read.
