Sometimes Love Just Isn't Debbie Ihler Rasmussen

Set in the fictional town of Sommerville, Tennessee, 'Sometimes Love Just Isn't' explores the backstory story of Drew Dixon's younger brother, Dylan, from The Mystic Trilogy.

We discover what makes Dylan tick, what brought him the place he is when we meet him in the first book, 'Mystic Angel' and why he is who he is.

Dylan Dixon and his brother Drew grew up together, but somehow Dylan always felt inferior.

Despite Drew's efforts to stay close to him, Dylan insisted on running with the wrong crowd, and more than once getting into trouble at school and with the law.

Grandpa and Grandma Dixon, Drew, and Sumer Youngblood, his best friend since the third grade, were the constants in his life.

After serving time in jail, Dylan was determined to stay straight in hopes that maybe he and Sumer would be married. He knew it was a long shot; Sumer had made it clear they would never be more than best friends.

"I love you Dylan Dixon," she said, "you are my best friend in the whole world."

Juan Munoa came into the picture, dashing all hopes for Dylan's secret desire. Soon, all of their lives turned upside down leaving Dylan with only tortured memories of his Grandpa, Sumer, and the life he had hoped for.
