Wake #2
Sail
This isn’t just a two-year long one-night stand. It’s my life.
This is my life. Our life. It isn’t just some careless affair.
I’ve made the worst decisions a woman could, but I’ll earn my second chance.
She can try keeping all the guilt for herself, but I’m just as much to blame.
Loving Casey wasn’t my biggest mistake. Fighting it for so long was.
I’ll show her how fearless our love makes me. I’ll protect her torn heart.
He still has magic in his eyes. He’s the man who makes me happy.
Her voice still brings me to my knees. She says my name like it’s sacred.
I live for the day when I’m his. To take care of him. To love him the way he deserves.
I can’t wait to be all she needs. I can give her a happy life, security and so much love.
Sometimes two ships never meet in the night, but ours did.
Sometimes the water is rough. It beats you all to hell until you have no choice but get stronger.
Our love story reads more like a tragedy, but to me it’s clean and pure.
Let them point their fingers. Without a love like ours, they haven’t really lived. I pity them.
I’m a cheating wife and a villain. I am his honeybee.
I’m a snake in the grass and I sleep best when I’m lying next to his wife.
I want to be his everything.
I’m nothing without her anyway.
This isn’t even close to over.
It’ll never be over.

After reading Bait, I had to immediately get into this book to find out what was going to happen. So many loose ends are slowly starting to get tied up but will it all work out?
I think the thing that drove me the most crazy was all the inner dialogue. I loved it and I hated it. There's just sooo many good lines but it's just too much and I had a mighty need to skim a lot of it.
And don't even get me started on the steamy scenes. Don't get me wrong, they were pretty good but I definitely don't want another as soon as one's finished. Give this girl a break! ;)
Seriously though, Casey stole the show. He's really become a man and he's taking care of what's "his". He did have a little misstep when he called someone but I guess it was something he needed to do.
And what a crazy person that one turned out to be! I would never have thought that! Jaysus...I have to admit that I was a little let down that "the person" was written like that. It felt too extreme.
But thank goodness what I thought might happen, didn't! I think by that not happening, it saved the story for me.
Onto the last book....

THIS IS MY MOST HIGHLY ANTICIPATED BOOK FOR 2015!!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!
Well, finally a HEA. I was really nervous to start Sail, there was so much angst and pain in book 1 and I had no idea what would happen with Blake and Casey. I think I was expecting too much drama but in the end it was just a love story of two people who were destined for each other and how they endeavoured to make their relationship work. It was great.

**** UPDATE *****
I read a book called Bait. I fell in love with a man named Casey and I wanted to keep him all for myself. Unfortunately, he was in love with a woman named Blake. I pretended I was Blake in my mind while I read though, and that made the experience even more incredible for me.
There were times while I read Bait that I wanted to run Blake over with my car. I wanted to bitch slap her, throat punch her and throttle her—which I did in my imagination too, by the way.
So I’m waiting patiently for Sail (yeah, right) and to be reunited with Casey, my one true love. I honestly had no idea what to expect. Bait was so angsty that my heart was in my throat, so I guess I was expected that same level of angst in Sail.
I’m not going to tell you if it was angsty or not. I’m not going to give away the plot. You NEED TO READ THIS BOOK! Yes, I shouted, but Casey just does that to me. He gets me all hot and bothered and I’m a tad bit overprotective of him.
The day comes.
Sail is on my kindle.
I should have dropped everything and started that second.
But I didn’t.
I waited for my vacation because I did not want to be interrupted. I wanted to savor every Casey word, every Casey moment. And guess what?!!
BOOOOOOOM… NAILED IT!!! M. MABIE YOU’RE MY HERO!!
I LOVE CASEY!!!
This book kept me up way past my bedtime.
I am still thinking about it.
The feels, the love, the swooning I did… AHHH!!!
LOVED IT!!!
I’ll give you a couple of my favorite Casey lines…
“I lie about how much you mean to me or how bad I miss you. I’m done pretending you’re not mine and I’m not yours. Because we are. We always have been. Our hearts just got there before the rest of us.”
CAN YOU SAY SWOON?!!! God! LOVE. HIM.
One more!
“Tonight, I’m going to make you come and then I’m going to sleep next to you. I’m going to fall asleep with you in my arms. All those nights I missed out on holding you and feeling you next to me…”
OH. MY. GOD.
Don’t you just wanna bring him home and just squeeze him, love him and ride him all at the same time?!!!
This book made me so freakin happy. Perma smile. I really felt like I got to know both Casey and Blake in this Sail and saw both sides of the coin. Thank you M. for creating a Book Boyfriend who is now at the top of my Book Boyfriend list. Next book please!!!

"Had anyone ever loved someone as much as I love him?"
M Mabie's Bait was one of my favorite reads for 2014. But that ending was the mother of all cliffys! How could Blake and Casey possibly make things work? What about Grant-Blake's husband? Now that he knows about their affair, where does that leave Blake and Grant's marriage? How long is Casey going to sit back and wait for Blake to leave Grant? And my biggest question-will that slut Aly turn out to be pregnant after she had drunk sex with Casey when he was so loaded he didn't even bother to wear a condom.
Well Sail answered most of my questions, but then again in true Mabie fashion, she raised some more! I don't want to spoil too many things concerning this triangle but I will say, that I detested Blake in Bait and in Sail-she totally redeemed herself. Of course, Casey always had my heart and he only made me love him even harder with his devotion to his honeybee. Now as far as Grant is concerned...aarggh...
The past year has matured Blake and she is no longer the selfish self centered brat she was in Bait. She is more than aware of the hurt she has caused-not only to Casey but to Grant and to her family and friends. She tries her hardest to follow her heart and in this case it won't let her down.
"You fill me up with so much happiness and you move me forward."
We get a little more insight into Blake's family, particularly her brother, Shane. I'm thinking this guy has quite a tale to tell, and I'm hoping we get his story. He was shell shocked when his marriage fell apart and ended up moving back in with his parents. But he seems to be slowly rebuilding his life and it just may be due to a woman in his life.
The angst is toned down in this story, considering the angst fest that was in Bait, my heart thanks the author. Although there is an Aly part in this one where I had the stomach plummets. There are certain indications that things are going to come to a head and I have to say that the last few chapters had my heart racing. My fingers were flying through the pages on my e-reader, trying to find out how things were going to play out. Inside my head I kept thinking...Nooo..don't do it...Don't you just love it when a book completely takes over your mind and you are glued to your sit? Then you are going to love the ending of Sail, because that folks, is suspense at its finest!
Of course, things are not tied up in a pretty little bow. We have lots of gifts to unwrap yet, and I can't wait for Anchor!
"The best things are worth waiting a little for, honeybee. Otherwise, fairy tales would start with happily ever after."

Let me start by saying I re read BAIT prior to tearing into SAIL and I’ll tell you why.
I was enthralled with BAIT. It was a type of read that sticks with you, even days later.
M. Mabie’s writing style has hooked me once again from page one. Just up and grabbed my heart in one fist demanding me to finish this crazy train.
Sail picks up from where we ended with BAIT so I was extremely glad I got refresher:)
Love triangles are so messy, filled with drama and heartache.
Battling with inside your head….. What’s the right thing? What’s the right way?
Make others happy before yourself? Hell to the no.
Blake and Casey continue on with their passionate & sex-filled affair. They share a raw deep connection that I felt to my very core. If only the shared more than that. Like being open & honest. What each truly feels & wants.. Communicating.
They get it eventually. Filled with regret of loss of precious time together, they go all in.
Balls to the walls.
People get hurt. Emotionally and physically hurt which makes it so much more devastating.
They have fought & fought & will continue to fight to make it as one.
With one last obstacle to battle will Blake get a happily ever after?
I was graciously gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW: 4.5 stars
"I trusted his heart, my heart's other half, but I needed to be his. Needed him to be mine."
Fair warning....I highlighted SO much during this book...it was hard to get all my feelings in ONE spot just to sit down to write this review. To say that I was happy with this book....I can't say it enough. I loved it. I want more...I don't ever want to leave Casey and Blake's world. It is so full of love and emotion and depth and feeling. It is FULL. It is overflowing. It is complete. It is WOW in a book.
If I didn't love Casey by the end of book one, Bait, then I certainly was head over heels in love with him after this book!!! Holy hotness! If I ever wanted a follow up to an angsty, rocking-in-the-corner-after-finishing-a-book, this book would be it. Let me say this, the tempo in this one was so very different. It was the balm to the burn. This book was a slow, sensual rocking motion in the water, whereas Bait was the stormy rocking sea. The different tempo in this book was such a huge transition, it said so much about their relationship. Unquestionably and undeniably, this was an amazing story. Superbly written and executed.
I loved how Casey decided he was going to finally step up and be the man that Blake needed...not the normal one-night stand guy he had been for the two years prior. His character grew so much...it was so great to see him transform before our very eyes.
The push and pull and angst that we experienced in Bait was NOT in this book....however, the slow burning love with anticipation was very prevalent in this book. I loved it! Absolutely loved it. It was a slower, easier read and I didn't feel like I was on the edge of my seat with worry about what was going to happen. I will admit, I was waiting for the ball to drop....I was waiting for something to happen. But, like I said....this was the balm to soothe the evil, aching burn Ms. Mabie left us with after Bait. This book made EVERYTHING better....I absolutely fell deeper in love with Casey. Blake found her 'self' and actually came out of her shell....this book was full of revelations, growing and understanding. It was, simply put, beautiful.
The exploration we took with Casey and Blake was amazing....we got to learn more about what made him tick and what sparked feelings and emotions in him. We learned what made Blake purr and what pushed her to the limits that she needed to push to get to where she needed to be. They are SO hot with each other...they are the type that burns with anticipation and slow deep feeling. The fight in these two to become to each other what they had tried to deny for so long, but realized was impossible, was an amazing feeling to read. I loved their relationship and the direction it took.
Ms. Mabie has a way with her words....she uses them to evoke such emotion and power over your heart that you can't help but get lost in Casey and Blake's story. I laughed during this book, I swooned and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. I am more in love than ever with these two, and can't believe I have another book to look forward to!
The end of this book had me frantically messaging the author asking for an understanding....so to say that I can't wait for book #3, that is a gross misunderstanding. To put it bluntly, the next book shall be nothing short of amazing, knowing Ms. Mabie.

6 Brilliant and Beautiful Stars, Sail is perfection!
“The best things in life are worth waiting for, honeybee. Otherwise, fairy tales would start with happily ever after.”
I have been anxiously and patiently *HAHAHA* waiting for Sail since I read the very last words of Bait. Needless to say it feels like forever, when in actuality it’s only been a month. I stalked Amazon for a full day and a half, hitting the refresh button, like a junkie needing her next fix! When it finally loaded, I dove in, without looking back, beyond excited to dive back into the words and the story that would more than likely leave me speechless, yet again.
Casey and Blake have already been on one hell of journey since we began this story, but when we saw them last, everything was up in the air. Casey knew in his very soul that he loved Blake, but was this ever going to be enough? Could he be strong enough to love her the way she truly deserved? Blake knew with every fibre of her being that Casey was the one, but would he be able to give her what she truly needs, and would she finally be able to stop hurting him? Could she be strong enough to make the hard choice and own her actions?
“Concave and convex, we fit together like two praying hands. A prayer that begged for absolution and time. We were both sinners and the truth of that hurt.”
Decisions have finally been made and with conviction and sheer determination to follow through Casey and Blake start out on a brand new path. A fresh start that begins first and foremost honesty, transparency, unapologetic love, maturity, sacrifice, devotion and most importantly trust. Having finally faced the consequences for their actions and having the veil pulled back, has allowed them to finally confront all of their weaknesses, face their insecurities and make some very hard choices, but they do it together.
“She was terrible at loving me. Never getting it right, but she tried. She fought hard, usually with herself, and that alone gave me hope.”
As reader who absolutely fell head over heels with this couple from the very start, you cannot possibly imagine the anxiety I had beginning Sail, I was extremely nervous and excited to see where Casey and Blake’s journey would ultimately lead. But as I progressed through the story I realized something, I had nothing to be afraid of. Having been through almost every possible form of emotional torture before, these two characters had become something that is astounding. They grew, they adapted, they trusted implicitly, and they became everything we as readers knew they could be. Never before has a transformation in characters affected me so much, I wanted to stand up and cheer, they are inspiring.
“I want her to trust my heart.”
Blake in this book, just astounded me, I think she may have just become one of my very favorite female leads in a story ever! She is totally transformed and her new outlook on everything in life, as well as love is a monumental departure from the flighty, confused, wishy washy girl we met in Bait. Casey is just as loveable in the book, actually if it’s even possible I fell even more in love with him in this book. He is strong, kind, thoughtful and extremely support of Blake. He displayed inconceivable restraint and patience in seeing his deepest desires through to the end.
“I will never leave you. Even when I’m gone. I’m here.”
Words fail me when I try to put into words how deeply affected I was by this book. I ran the full range of emotions while reading Sail. It’s simply perfect, in every way. I wouldn’t and couldn’t change a single word. Mabie took a story and characters that I absolutely adored and cranked it up by 1000. Mabie’s work is something that will move you deeply, her words, her voice is beautiful. Taking two characters that were so incredibly flawed and had made such unbelievably bad decisions come full circle was an absolute pleasure to experience. Sail is romance, its passion, its heartbreak, its perseverance, its learning and moving on from your mistakes, and your past, it’s facing the truth and discovering that love can ultimately overcome even the most incredible odds.
“Some people probably fall in love as if they’re peacefully dropped into a bed of feathers. Falling in love for us was like right before a bike wreck when the front wheel gets wobbly. Out of control.”
“The best things in life are worth waiting for, honeybee. Otherwise, fairy tales would start with happily ever after.”
I have been anxiously and patiently *HAHAHA* waiting for Sail since I read the very last words of Bait. Needless to say it feels like forever, when in actuality it’s only been a month. I stalked Amazon for a full day and a half, hitting the refresh button, like a junkie needing her next fix!

6 my favorite curly headed sexy man stars ;)
Let them point their fingers. Without a love like ours, they haven’t really lived. I pity them.
I can’t tell you how proud I am of MO! That woman is a genius with words and I am so glad I stumbled across her over a year ago! She is one of my “go to” authors. One of those authors you will read absolutely anything they put out without even reading the blurb? That’s her..
I read Bait the day that it came out and fell head over heels in love with Casey. I didn’t actually know about the cliffhanger until the last page and I was ready to fall out the bed when I read it.. so I pestered her every chance I got about publishing Sail. When I finally got the chance to read it I was absolutely blown away.
Sail is by far one of my favorite books. Definitely my FIRST 6 star of this year. I am so impressed and in love with Casey. I cannot wait to see if these two get the happy ending that they deserve. Now I have to wait another 6 months I’m sure.. I may die Mo. Seriously. DIE. Please don’t torture me.
One of my favorite things about Sail was that Casey never gives up. Even with all the odds against him he never stops loving her. He never stops fighting for her. The love he has for that woman is unbelievable. I love that Mo does the perfect job of depicting love. Love isn’t always cut and dry.. it’s not always black & white. There is that grey, that some can’t see clearly in. Love isn’t perfect like we read in books most of the time. Sometimes you have to fight for what you want. Sometimes, heartbreak is involved for you to make it out. She shows you that even though their story isn’t perfect, the love these two share is real. It’s raw, and it’s real.
Do yourself a favor and read this. Trust me.

You guys know how I have been for the release of this book, which is the second book in the Wake series by M. Mabie. After the emotional hurricane that was Bait, I NEEDED this book in my life. It was easily one of my most anticipated books of the year!
Even though we didn’t have to wait THAT long for the book, it seemed like forever. After reading Sail, every minute of the wait was totally worth it.
For me, Sail had a different feel than Bait. Gone was the overwhelming angst, it’s replaced with overwhelming love. The emotions were just as strong, but now there is a different vibe. Of course, we knew that Blake & Casey were IT for each other even before they did, and it’s beautiful to now see them finally committed to being together.
Sail was something of a journey for Casey & Blake, and these two become a team to deal with the aftermath of everything that happened in Bait. M. Mabie gave us a well-paced followup that didn’t necessarily take the easy way out, and I really appreciated that. I thought this story was going to go a certain way. I thought I was clever. I was not. (Take that how you will… ;) )
M. Mabie will definitely turn you on your head throughout this story, and take our characters places we never expected them to go. But above everything, this is a story of LOVE. Real, true, soul-deep love. The kind of love that even after all of the pain and heartache, makes you say, “Totally worth it.”
I was so torn reading this book. I wanted to read it slowly, savor every word, every emotion, every declaration of love. Turns out, I am entirely too greedy for that, and pretty much canceled my life while I read this story.
Totally worth it.

I just finished an ARC of this, my most anticipated book of the year. I love M Mabie's way with words. It was just what I have been begging for. It was 97% happy times. I loved Bait but this one felt different. Casey and Blake did everything wrong in Bait and did everything right in Sail. It was not Honeybee and Lou's conclusion but it left me knowing what their HEA will look like when they get there. I smiled the entire book (except for like 5 pages). This one was the opposite of angst unlike the first one and I loved it.
March 28, 2015
Omg M. Mabie blew it out of the park with this one! I could not put it down. It sucked you in right from the first chapter! It was everything I had hoped for and more after the cliffy that was Bait(which was amazing also) It was so nice to see how Blake and Casey could be together and their relationship blossom! Then it got even better ;) . If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would! A must read for sure!!!

*Gifted for an honest review* 4 stars
“Those f**kers are flapping their light-hearted, winged asses off in there”
This is a difficult review to write simply for the fact that I was so enthralled with Bait that I expected the same from Sail. I feel a little disappointed. It didn’t have that same edge that was ever present in Bait, I didn’t feel it. I was quite lucky in the fact that I read Bait quite late therefore the story was still fresh in my head and Sail continued straight on from Bait. No gaps in the story.
So this is Blake and Casey’s story proper, we find the pair trying to navigate the tricky path that will be their relationship and it’s not without its setbacks and hurdles. Casey has finally made that jump to Blake but finds herself still needing to rid herself of the baggage she has and she wants to do it right. Blake is his ever present self but we find him less pushy, trying to stand up to the plate and be the man that he thinks Casey wants. They were already in love but what Mo does here in Sail cements that all-consuming love they feel for one another.
I think the problem for me was the fact that it had far less angst in this than in Bait. It was most certainly not a boring read but the pace did slow for a while. The emotion is all there but again I missed the struggles that Casey found herself having and I missed the curtness of some of Blakes actions. It does indeed feel like Blake grows up quite a bit for the sake of Casey and their relationship. He doesn’t put up with other influences that try to stand in their way and you get little flashes of that here. And Grant….well, Grants actions came as a shock in all honesty.
I am struggling to write this review for many reasons; I read a great book that had just that little something missing for me unfortunately. I think maybe Bait set the bar too high and the slowing down into comfortable in Sail had its consequences. I’d definitely recommend it though, this series is a must read and I am eagerly awaiting the conclusion. I’m sorry that I couldn’t give it the 5 stars.
“Because there she was, waiting for me, like a kite in the breeze.”

So, after finishing Bait, I wanted to choke slam Blake into the nearest wall, slap her senseless and then throw her in front of a train!!! A little harsh right?? Well if you have read the book, you will understand these feelings! If you haven't, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR????? No where in my mind was the shit that chick pulled redeemable! That book ended on the biggest cliffhanger EVER.....resulting in the biggest book hangover EVER!!!!
So when the sign up for Sail came onto the blog, I NEEDED it! The turmoil that Bait delivered ensured that it is one book I personally, would never forget.
Sail starts up from where Bait finished off, not that I needed a reminder because it SLAYED MY DAMN HEART OUT ALL OVER AGAIN, but M. Mabie grips me with her writing style and gave me EVERYTHING and MORE!
Blake and Casey have THE connection! Not just little bits that make a couple have amazing chemistry but the DEEP be all and end all explosive kind! Personally, I wish they were honest with each other, talking about their individual feelings, it is the one major thing that they lack as a couple.
Casey.....lets talk about this FANFREAKINGTASTIC man who makes my ovaries sing out in harmony! The man will do anything to make Blake's dreams and wishes come true, he loves Blake with everything he is! *sigh*
Blake has redeemed herself in this book! I actually really loved her character and felt for her during this book. I may not have agreed with what she did previously or the way she went about it, but now I have read Sail, I'm over it!
This book does not hold the hurt, betrayal or turmoil we encountered in Bait! This book is full of heartfelt emotion, steamy scenes, and a gripping intensity that has you hoping for the best until the very end.
This book is written in a dual POV which just added to the awesomeness! I loved everything about it! Congratulations Mo, it's bloody fantastic!!
5+ STARS!!

I don't even know where to begin. M. Mabie has not only hit a homerun, but the bases were loaded!!
I loved seeing Casey & Blake getting to know each other as a true couple and not an affair - hidden behind the scenes. They have so much chemistry! I love their humor! They really crack me up!
Grant. Well, holy s. h. i. t. Grant. Serious?? If you started out on his side, be prepared to dislike him so immensely that you'll never want to hear that name again. (other than his amazing last name)
Mo took this story and made it her b i t c h . She left no stone unturned! As I read this book, I was in the story, sucked in and trapped between it all! I felt Blake's pain, her heart, I could totally immerse myself in this story and forget the outside world! (as hard as the outside world tried to keep me away - lol)
Mo, THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! You are an amazing author!! I can't wait to see what's next!!!!
**edited to add: I was NOT a fan of Blake's in Bait. This book totally made fall in love with her. She's redeemed. lol

When we meet Casey and Blake in Bait they were dripping in angst. I didn't think my heart could take anymore. Oh, but it could. The angst has spun into full blown love. The kind of love you read about...see what I did there?
Casey is so genuine. I just love him and even Blake is growing on me. She still has some work to do, but it is hard living up to the perfect that is Casey Moore.
Their love is not without hiccups. There is fidelity doubts, past guilt, fear, work, distance, oh and one other teeny tiny thing...a divorce that needs to be settled before they can sail off into the sunset.

This book is fabulous. How can anyone be as perfect as Casey?! The author does a great job painting a picture of the characters that a reader can truly imagine. I cannot wait for the third book!!

Mejoró algo. Ahora siento que entiendo un poco más la visión de cada uno. La modalidad sigue siendo igual que el libro anterior. Capítulos alternados con cada POV
No sé si leerme la tercera parte si… lo estoy pensando. Me gustó como quedó … veremos qué pasa.

The incredibly angst-filled adventure that is the Wake series, has entered some calmer seas with Sail. This second book is a clear departure from all the turmoil, all the hurt, all the bad decisions both Casey and Blake made in Bait and it was needed.
This time around, it felt as if I was completely privy to the most private of moments between these two lovers. Written in alternating POV's, the time for denying true feelings and emotions is over. We get complete honesty this time around and it was long overdue. Blake was so closed off, so afraid to feel, so afraid to admit her love of Casey in Bait, that reading her true, raw thoughts actually made me like her! I was not her biggest fan and this book has turned me around. Watching Blake and Casey face all of their fears head on was utterly wonderful. They finally have their chance to do it right, get everything out into the open and they aren't wasting a single second.
Casey is as swoonworthy as ever and his 'courtship' of the love of his life was such a joy to read. That he is willing to make Blake's dreams come true all the while loving her with everything he has had me sighing and often! His loyalty, his trust in her to make things right for them was never misguided. He knew his honeybee needed to find her way. It was just a matter of time.
This very well written and beautiful book is such a departure from Bait and was quite frankly the perfect sequeway into what will be the last in this series, Anchor. What I adored most was that the author proved that sometimes love truly isn't enough but it certainly is worth fighting for. Casey and Blake seem to be righting all the wrongs they have sadly inflicted upon each other and their growth into the couple that were destined to become all along, just may come to light after all.
I am sure their journey to an HEA will still be fraught with bumps and twists along the way. But when you have your soulmate by your side, anything is possible.
4.5 stars and highly recommended.

So, once again M.Mabie has wrote another awesome book!
I've been a huge fan of M.Mabie since Fade In and then Bait happened.
Casey, Casey, Casey.....This man, he makes my girl parts tingle!!
Be prepared to add him to your book boyfriend list ladies and gents!!
Blake was totally redeemed in this book though. She had quite the hate following after Bait but I just felt for her in Sail.
So if you haven't already put Sail on your TBR's WTF are you waiting for??!! Do it!!!

Sail continues where Bait ended..I have to admit when i read Bait, i was crying all over with all the heartache & pain that both Casey & Blake went through and reading Sail gave me a roller coaster of emotions. I love Casey & Blake's banter in Bait, i love it more in Sail. I was laughing & smiling more as my reading progress and falling in love more with Casey. Both he & Blake grew and learned from their mistakes that their relationship went from a long one night stand into great friendship, to great love to forever.
A truly awesome writing by M Mabie, Sail pulled all the strings in my heart. Sail is truly worth the wait.

OK I loved the first book. Maybe I’ll attempt this at some other point in time but sadly I wasn’t invested anymore in a HEA for these two. Maybe too much time had passed. The first book truly broke my heart and maybe we just should have left it that way. I also think over time I have actually come to loath Blake. This shit went on for YEARS!!!! She had chance after chance. DNF’d at 40%. Maybe I’ll try it again after I forget I hate this girl.

Much better than book 1-Bait. I felt like this story had purpose, whereas in book 1 we were just floating through without any communication. We had so much growth between Blake and Casey in this book and it was refreshing and wonderful. I loved how they learned to communicate, be honest, and be there for one another. A great book 2. I'm on to the final book....
