This is Love and Music in Texas book 7. If you've read Skyrocket, you'll know the Bare My Soul tour from Kyra and Matt's point of view. But this is also Baby Stetson's first major tour, and the series began the focus on Baby Stetson, so Extraordinary Dreams was born. It won't be the same scenes from Skyrocket in another point of view, though some may overlap slightly. These will be all new scenes and feelings from some Baby Stetson members.
