First off I recommend that you read Letting Go before reading this book. There is a lot of cross over from the first book and you may be a little lost in the beginning if you don't read Letting Go. Sometimes I felt like I was re-reading book 1 in certain parts, just from different characters perspective.

Jane is damaged from an abusive relationship and runs as fast as she can back to sanctuary, her parents home. She hopes her past doesn't catch up with her. She tries to get on with her life but is very scared to do so. Then she meets Cal. Can she stop hiding away and let someone new into her heart?

Cal is a hot tattooed cop. He's down to earth and he loves deeply for those he cares about. Cal wasn't looking for his happy ever after woman but he thinks he may have found her after he meets Jane. He knows there is something that she won't tell him, something that is important. Can he get her to tell him her secret, a secret that she hasn't told anyone, before it's too late?

This book had it all, heartache, suspense, sexy scenes. I really enjoyed this book. I did not enjoy the major cliffhanger at the end. I was like "What, huh....where is the damn rest of the book...NOOOO damn J.M. why did you have to that to us?" So J.M. if you read this, please write FASTER!! I'm very anxious to read the rest of Cal and Jane's story. For those of you that are thinking about starting this series, don't hesitate, just do it, you won't be disappointed.

I’m a stay-at-home mom with four young children and one extremely supportive husband. We've been married for nine years and reside in Highland, Michigan.

I've dreamed of writing romance novels since I was little. After having baby #4, who may or may not have been fathered by Christian Grey, I decided it was time to pursue my dreams.

When I'm not volunteering at the schools of my children, running to various appointments, enjoying time with my friends and my book club, dating my husband, or avoiding cleaning my house, I'm writing!

I love music and believe that books and music can't exist without the other. My goal is for you to read more than a good book, but for you to have an experience!
