Possible spoilers ahead. In Book 1 Heights of Desire, 42 year old Kate a married mother of 2, meets a sexy 22 year old Dominican thug whilst dropping of her daughters at ballet. They are immediately in lust and she invites him over to her house whilst her husband is at work. Now, whilst the fantasy is kinda sexy I just cannot fathom anyone ever doing this! I haven't been to Washington Heights, but the image I got was that it's the equivalent to the areas in London which houses both the estate gangs opposite the posh houses.
This woman's mind is completely taken over by her longing for this beautiful man. She doesn't even hide the affair from her husband, even though he's a bit of a douche, we don't really see this until Book 2.
Don't get me wrong, the writing was good, the storyline was good, but I thought that both Kate and Jaylee were totally unlike-able. Jaylee had nothing going for him apart from his looks and his charm. He is involved in a gang and immerses Kate into this side of his life with no regard for her safety.
Book 2 is pretty action packed, there is lots going on involving the gangs and Jaylee in prison. Kate's husband Robert is a lawyer and blackmails Kate to stop seeing Jaylee in return for his help to free him. Kate is torn between the 'Love' of her life and keeping her family safe.
I had major issues in this book
1. Kate cheats on her husband AND her lover with a third person, she turns into a total slut.
and 2. Not only does Jaylee's best friend PUNCH Kate in the face but JAYLEE PUNCHES HER IN THE FACE
And he doesn't even apologise!!!!
I almost put the book down then, but I needed to know what happened.
Was it a happy ending...? Well, it was for me because I can move onto another book that makes me feel less angry.

One of the most savagely beautiful love stories I've ever read. Kate and Jaylee's story is intensely raw and shocking and I couldn't tear myself away!
Mara White is a thought-provoking, challenging and amazingly talented writer. She deserves wide acclaim for her gritty, uanpolagetic brand of fiction. FEAR OF HEIGHTS made me cry, cringe and yell at Kate’s roller-coaster ride of a life. This story must be read after Heights of Desire, which is one of my favorite books. Both will challenge you and make you re-think what you believe is right and what is wrong. Nothing is black and white in the Heightsbound series, that’s for sure.
If you are a fan of gritty, raw, adult erotica, this book is for you. Fear of Heights picks up after the rather surprising ending of Heights of Desire, and literally takes you on a breathtaking ride of twists and turns, love and hate, regret and happiness, and shame and pride. Is that enough emotion for you? The author has done a spectacular job of painting a picture of Kate, a woman who seems to make all the wrong choices, but who is compelled on her course of action, consequences be damned. This is not an easy read, but it is a very adult story, and some of you might hate Kate in the end. I did not.
There is a ton of raw sex in this book, but the dialogue and the action is so well-wrtiten, that the book is elevated above most books in this genre. We get to know Ideal in this book, who at first seems unredeemable, but who I grew to kind of like by the end. And Jaylee, who Kate is obsessed with in the first book, once again broke my heart, with his raw vulnerability and open sexuality.
Fear of Heights literally made me yell at my Kindle. Books don’t often provoke such a strong reaction in me, but Ms. White is such a talented writer that I can”t help myself!
This is not a typical romance, and deals with some very heavy themes. The plot is twisty and surprising and that is why this review is vague. This book is best experienced first-hand. If you are a fan of gritty, sexy, intensely emotional books, then Fear of Heights is a must-read. Bravo, Ms. White!

If you are seeking a story that is raw, gritty and filled with many intense emotional situations, then look no further… this entire story will just blow you away!
Ms. White has done an AMAZING job with Fear of Heights, which is the second part of Kate’s journey. Fear of Heights took me to places that I never imagined possible. I honestly liked this sequel even better then the first book (Heights of Desire.) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading Heights of Desire before diving right into this one though, so you know exactly what is going on.
This story is told mostly through Kate's POV. I really enjoyed her character because Kate sometimes chose some thought provoking decisions, which caught my interest further as the reader to see what will happen next. I could not tear myself away from my kindle! I was HOOKED! Her decisions were not always the right choices to make. She was then sometimes forced to clean up the damages of those decisions, dealing with the repercussions by facing them head on.
Ideal is a character that I didn’t like very much as I was introduced to him, but later on in the story I completely fell for him. There were also times I really loved Jaylee and times that he frustrated me to the point I wanted to toss my kindle across the room. I was constantly on edge in every scene involving Kate’s family, especially with her husband. I could easily feel the tension form between Robert and Kate and how this also bothered their kids.
Kate’s feelings started to slowly blend in with my own feelings in certain parts of this book and I LOVE when a story can draw out those crazy irrational emotions! To me, this is pure evidence of how well thought out and developed the characters are in Fear of Heights! As I was reading Fear of Heights, I really felt like the characters were everyday individuals, that I was just witnessing a part of Kate’s journey through a movie or possibly a diary. The scenes all flowed along so well and the timelines all matched up perfectly.
The quote from the story below is a great example of how many people often feel emotionally on the inside. Everybody desires to be important or needed from time-to-time.
“I harbor an almost incapacitating weakness- a desire to belong to someone, to be their everything. Not just to be needed, but to be the one indispensable thing. The secret ingredient, the key to someone’s very existence.”
Fear of Heights is not a typical romance story. This book does have a bunch of romance filled throughout many of the pages but there’s so much more involved with the story line. The book includes racial themes, differences in economic statuses, bribery, adultery, kidnapping and so much more. This story is one that I WILL NEVER FORGET! Read it, you won’t be sorry!
I give Fear of Heights, 5 MIND BLOWING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING STARS!

I loved it all, every single word, page and I'm sad I finished
A woman who has everything meets a man who can offer her nothing but trouble. They meet and oh so quickly IT happens. I loved the way the author had the sense of taboo involved here. The characters were SO captivating that book one left me thinking of the Jaylee I picture in my dreams.
Once again this book is just SO well written. I loved that I felt the exact same pull with the characters that I did in book 1. The Kate and Jaylee love story just leaps off the pages. For me, I felt so tortured again. If they belong together even despite all of the obstacles, then they deserve happiness. I wanted Robert to go jump off the 59th street bridge and become ocean slug food. Never did I ever think I could feel more hate towards him than I did in this book. I would totally love a few minutes to hurt him.
There are times when I was yelling to Kate in my head over and over. Specifically when her and Janinie take off to Santo Domingo. That part of the book was screaming to me.
It was so spot on with the scenes and descriptions, making me feel like I was part of their runaway scheme.
The next character that I must talk about is Ideál. He is a character that really confused me. I felt the love hate thing for him. Immediately I thought I wanted to kick him in the throat. I changed my tune and was a little more trusting towards him. When their friendship comes to be a more stable bond, there are some really big reveals. Sort of mind blowing.
PLEASE take the journey again with Kate and Jaylee. I urge you to read this series. Underneath the drama there is pure love and loyalty.

4.5 angsty and completely frustrating stars!!!! To say I was nervous to start this book is an understatement. It's been a while since I read the first book, but for some reason that book stayed with me. That's saying a lot because I read a bunch and a lot of times I will read my own reviews to become familiar with the story and the characters again (I have an awful memory) when getting ready to read other books in a series!! From the beginning of FOH, it was like I read HOD yesterday. Even character and every feeling was right back with me and the nail biting commenced!!
My heart hurt for Jaylee and I didn't have a good feeling about his future with Kate. Kate, oh boy, she was a hot mess but I have to say, I really love her!! She is real, she is passionate and she's a fighter!! Of course, I was rolling my eyes at some of her decisions but I couldn't help but connect with her and feel for her too. When Ideal was introduced to the story, I wasn't expecting to fall for him the way I did. I was flip flopping with my feelings and ideas that I frustrated myself!! Now, I was never a fan of Robert and I can't say that changed much in this book.
What I do know is that I couldn't stop reading this book. Ms. White did a terrific job with this emotional story. Her words grab you and the story flows beautifully. I do wish things would have turned out differently, but I am happy for Kate. I turned to my husband for some of the Spanish translations and I was telling him about these characters. He constantly looked at me like I had two heads because I spoke of these characters as if they were real. To me they felt real... the story is real life and that's why both the characters and the story will stay with me. Thank you Ms. White for the opportunity to read your story and I look forward to your next project!

Ok. Good and bad about this book. Ready? Here we go:
Good: Fear of Heights, the first book in this series, will easily be one of the best books you ever read in either the erotica or romance genre. But this book, this book is one of the best you'll ever read, period. Immediately...IMMEDIATELY you're drawn into Kate's world, which is sad and exciting and scary and exciting. It's also a little dangerous...but exciting. In spite of the sadness and fear and danger, you will not want to leave, and will probably be upset when the real world demands your attention. The writing is so smooth and careful that you forget you're reading a story and instead feel like you're listening to a friend. You will love the ride this book takes you on. Read it.
Bad: you will question your whole understanding of love. If Fear of Heights made you doubt the black and white of right and wrong this book will... This book will put you in the shoes(and maybe the beds?) of the characters you love and hate and love to hate; and, take my word for it, though their world is a fun place to visit, you do not want to be them. The writing is so clear and vivid you will forget you're reading a story and instead feel like you're a witness to a tragic series of events. You will hate the ride this takes you on. Read it.

What the fuck. I had no strong statement after reading this.
Honestly this book series has such events that is blacklisted and things like we don't expect. I like that the author does not make the heroine the-goody-two-shoes but actually makes her act on something unattainable.
I do not like sad endings (endings where hero and heroine never get to be together) but i ended up reading this.
I was in the mood to read something typically different than usual reads. This particular book did satisfy me.

5 BETTER THAN THIS STARS!!!
Fucking. Hell. As soon as I finished Heights of Desire I dove mind, body and soul IMMEDIATELY into Fear of Heights. Oh. God. I needed to know wtf was going to happen with Jaylee and Kate! I don't think I was prepared AT ALL for what I was about to experience....*cries*
Ok so I mentioned my heart and soul. Well, they are obliterated. I'm a bloody mess. This is one of those books that will stay with me forever. It's one of those stories that had me cursing, crying, raging and moaning through the whole book. Sometimes I did those things just from reading one chapter. I felt like I was losing my god damn mind.
Oh my god. I don't even know what I can say about Kate and Jaylee in this book. I was so livid with Kate. I was so frustrated. But I couldn't stop reading. I just wanted these two to be happy. Together or apart. I didn't know what the hell I wanted! Jaylee. Oh my god this guy. He is absolutely one of my favourite characters ever. He brings tears to my eyes just thinking about him. I keep replaying some of the things he said to Kate and I just can't. *sobs* I didn't think I could lust a thug so damn much!
Sex. Sex and more sex. All kinds of it. Cheating sex. Fast sex. Dirty sex. Mind blowing sex. Heights of Desire was just the beginning of Kate's sexcapades. Seriously, my jaw hit the bed. Repeatedly. I felt the searing, scorching hot scenes punch me in my g-spot and sometimes even my gut. I was shocked, not gonna lie. I felt a little dirty myself. Dirty never felt so damn good.
I think the BEST kinds of stories are the ones you can't stop reading, but at the same time you never want to end. And then when you do get to THE END you are stunned stupid and sitting there saying. "Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. WTF just happened?" Mara is a mother effing genius. Any story I have ever read from her has made me feel things I didn't even know were possible. Her gut wrenching story telling is like a drug. Once you start you are addicted and you may as well just sign over your life right the fuck now. Cause you won't get it back. It's a messed up, beautiful thing and I wouldn't have it any other way.
The Heightsbound Duet is one of those crushing, soul searing love stories that will stay with me forever. If you are looking for a book that will bring you to a whole new level and make you feel everything and THEN SOME you need Jaylee and Kate's story in your life. Buckle up bitches. Your life will never be the same.

Another winner from Mara White! I was already hooked on Kate and Jaylee's story in Heights of Desire. It had the right mix of flawed characters, attraction of opposites and summer heat to transport me from wintry Sweden to New York City during a long, hot summer. The same is true of Fear of Heights. Beautifully written with finely tuned characterization, this is one of those novels where you'll both love and hate the main characters as they say and do questionable things in the name of love.
Fear of Heights picks up where Heights of Desire left off--with Jaylee in jail, his fate in the hands of Kate's husband, who just happens to be his attorney, and Kate pregnant with his child. Robert's issued an ultimatum to Kate--get an abortion or he'll make sure Jaylee never gets out of jail. Kate, unwilling to bend to Robert's demands, makes a decision that puts her and those she loves at risk. What follows is a riveting story of love, betrayal and the underbelly of live in the Heights.
I won't spoil the rest of the story for you, but needless to say, this is one pageturner of a novel. Bravo, Mara! I can't wait for your next novel!

Holy Crap.... Mind blown. RAW, GRITTY, and so unblieably INTENSE!! READ THIS SERIES!
I was not expecting the 2nd book to be so freaking awesome. I was blown away.
Twist and turns, you will never except, more betrayal, more everything!!
I was shocked at how much I loved and hated this book.
Let me be honest and say I wanted to punch, slap, kick and cause any kind of harm to Kate. She needed it. Over and over again.
The ending truly blew me away. I sit there look at the last sentence over and over again, and all I could think was WHAT THE FUCK just happened??
Mara White is a mastermind! Truly incredibly. Loved it, Hated it and Loved it some more.
“I harbor an almost incapacitating weakness- a desire to belong to someone, to be their everything. Not just to be needed, but to be the one indispensable thing. The secret ingredient, the key to someone’s very existence.”

I won't lie...I didn't "get it" in the first book. I enjoyed it, but it didn't resonate with me.
Then I read this book. NOW I GET IT. Oh, man....do I get it. I feel like I've been sucker punched, but in the best possible way.
This series is a new level, a whole other world I never experienced.

The Heightsbound Series comes to a dramatic and at times heartbreaking conclusion with this intensely emotional tale of star-crossed lovers that's full of twists and turns. Picking up where the previous book left off, Jaylee and Kate couldn't be further apart as he's in jail and she's left pregnant with an ultimatum from her husband that is a no-win situation. Her husband will get Jaylee out of jail if she aborts their baby and agrees to never see him again. Needing some time and space away to make this life-altering decision she takes her sister's passport and credit cards and leaves with Jaylee's sister which is the start of a journey full of dangerous and unexpected events that keep you on the edge of your seat. From deadly drug dealers, to profound loss, to secrets and lies being revealed Ms. White masterfully keeps readers engaged in the forbidden romance between Jaylee and Kate that started with a simple look and continues down a rocky path.
From the opening scene Ms. White creates an atmospheric tale through the use of character-specific dialogue, vividly detailed surroundings, and an overall feeling of foreboding. Into this gritty world where even the glitzy parts have become tarnished new characters are introduced to make Kate and Jaylee's romance even more complicated. When another of Kate's bad decisions leads to her needing help the only person she can turn to is Jaylee's friend Ideal. This leads to jealousy and amps up the sensuality as Kate's missing Jaylee and Ideal is their to comfort her. As the story continues its twists and turns things get darker and what you hope will happen becomes uncertain. Kate's continuing her downward spiral in the name of love and her bad decisions are frustrating but you can't help but like her and admire her for going against the grain. For so long she was the dutiful wife unhappy behind closed doors with a husband whose cruelty is finally coming to light. This story is told from her perspective and you can understand why she's willing to sacrifice so much for Jaylee as he promises her happiness and freedom. Jaylee's suffering just as much being locked away with a future that seems lost. I fell for him in the previous story and continue my adoration here. His speech and thoughts are unique and it pulled me into his world completely as he tried to find something to count on while in jail.
This story caught me off guard with its intensity and gutsiness in not going in obvious directions. The author showed such maturity with this being her first series, talent beyond her years in immersing readers in her cleverly crafted world. I love stories with older woman/younger man themes and this one went way beyond that as it brought in race issues and class distinction. It added extra turmoil and made this forbidden romance even more so. This is a complicated story when it comes to right and wrong and morality. The characters are far from perfect and don't always do the right thing but you can't help being drawn to them. Readers looking for a typical HEA will be surprised as the ending is unexpected but memorable as is this series where BOTH books MUST be read to fully appreciate the dramatic and intensely erotic journey these two very different people undertake!

Fear of Height. Mara White
This is the second book in (Heightsbound #1) series. The first book heights of Desire needs to be read before Fear Of Heights.
Mara White has done it again. She has wrote another exceptional masterpiece. Fear of heights however is way hottttteeerrrr, darker and more mind blowing than the first book....if that's even possible. It's still raw, gritty, and so intense that your mind will still be all over the place.
This book is told mostly from Kate's POV. In the first book, I hated Kate after everything she did, in Fear of Heights I was hoping we'd learn more about Kate and why she is the way she is.
Immediately as you start reading your drawn in to Kate's world though, which is raw, sad, emotional, and dangerous. The story has so many layers to to it that you don't no where you going one minute to the next. I loved the whole unpredictability like I did in the first book.
Book 2 does bring you in closer to all the characters and brings you in so much closer to them sk you can get a better understanding.
The second book surprisingly has more unexpected surprises, twists and turns that are on every page. You could never guess what each character was goin to do next. I was turning the pages as fast I could so I could find out what was going to happen. I wanted answers so badly. I was kept on the edge of my seat the whole time, which made the reading experience and this series so much better than a lot out there.
I never would of guessed the ending, which is one thing I was hoping hoping for. I had afew ideas in my head of how it might end, but I was completly wrong with all of them and I'm so happy about that.
Mara White is a fantastic author. She has again managed to pull off another outstanding book. You'd think Mara had been writing for years, but this being her second book. Mara has wrote a master piece and I'd tell everyone to read this series.
My review has left a lot of the story line out of book 1 and 2. This is because spoilers would destroy this book. But because the whole book has spoilers on every page it's very hard to keep it secret and so it won't destroy the journey for you once you go on it. I've kept the spoilers to a minimum but at the same time trying to make you see how awesome this book is and needs to be read.
One click part 1 and 2 today. You will not be disappointed.

This book earns it's place on the top shelf. This series will change your definition of 'a good read'...... phenomenal writing. The story imbeds in your mind long after you have turned the last page. I could have recalled most of 'Heights of Desire' months after reading it, even though I had read another 100 or so books in that time, 'Fear of Heights' is the same.
Never, never, never have I read such books that had such a romantic stronghold on my heart. There are so many facets to this story.......multiple threads that are deeply intertwined through both books.
I had waited for the release of 'Fear of Heights', so to get the full experience I reread most of HOD again. As it was hotly anticipated.....I was worried when I was faced with the possibility that the second book may not live up to the first. The first book was seriously one of the best books I have ever read and I was aware of making sure that I did not increase my expectations because of this.
As the beginning of the story offers geographical complications, the angst changes it's tone, they don't have each other to feed off. But it does not take long before it's in full swing. I can't give anything away, for me I love that whilst reading I had no idea which way things were headed. I love that it's unpredictable in that I don't know where she was going to end up in her head.
All in all, was HOD a one of kind? no way! This is awesome and Mara White has done an amazing job, the layers of the story are great and I hope she has another swag of books in the pipeline! I am ruined after this series! She is a phenomenal Author!!
I think you would clearly be better to read one straight after the other (and I imagine this would be the case in all books in a series).
So, to all my friends who I have been telling about the most awesome romantic suspenseful book, but then adding that they had to wait for the sequel...now is the time! If you have not read 'Heights of Desire' go now and do so! There is no more waiting, the sequel is here with a force of its own and I personally promise you will love every inch!!!!
The bottom line, apart from the intense writing, is that I really love how there is no stone unturned, each action is justified. The books do not feature random behaviour just to create drama. I really can't add much more than.....I love it!

I know, I know. It took me awhile to sit down and write this review. I just didn't want to come to term that this is it for Kate. That this second book would be the End of it all..
Believe it or not, I had made a special date reserved in my calendar just to read this sequel to HOD. I wanted no phone calls or interruptions once I started to read this captivating story. I failed. I couldn't resist. I found myself reading it on the subway, riding the bus home and in between lunch breaks. Once I started to read, I couldn't stop. It was hard not to be drawn into Kate's world again. It was HARD to turn away!
Mara White had me glued to each line and every line. I found myself rereading certain paragraphs because it was beautiful written and shocking in other parts. It even got me blushing at some parts. READ it and find out!
With this second book, Mara White had introduced a new character, IDEAL.. I don't know how to describe Ideal, but he was the One that got away.
(It is hard to think about Ideal. He will always have a soft spot in my heart. )
Just when you think you figured out how the story plays out, Mara White threw in curl balls and new characters. It got me feeling conflicted and upset . I got so emotional to the point that I had to put the book down and take a break from it.
It's Amazing how much emotions Mara White can make you feel when you read her books. She breaths life into these characters and make you fall in love and then hate. Then fall in love all over again!!
Never a dull moment. Definitely, a tear-dropper. Left an imprinted in my Heart (ideal). A MUST READ!!

If you haven't already read the First book of this series Heights of desire then you need to read it first. But let me tell you be prepared to zone out everything once you start reading it. It was a 5/5 star read.
I was not very patiently awaiting Fear of Heights so when I was gifted a copy by Mara and asked to review it, I thought Christmas had come early..
**** This is your warning. You need supplies with this book****
Once I started reading this I COULDN'T put it down. This book didn't just have me on the edge of my seat It had standing up shouting. And all at Kate, I'm not kidding I never knew if I wanted to scream, shout, shake or smack her. This book will pull every emotion from you. I did try and read it on my lunch in work but on gave up on that idea because I couldn't bare to be disturbed.
I thought I was blown away With Heights of Desire, but Let me tell you THIS book, I felt like I was in the middle of a hurricane. My anxiety was at an all time high. When I finished It I felt like the hurricane had took me along for the ride and dumped me out, upside down, inside out, wrong way round. Its been a little while since I have read it and I still think WOW.
I strongly recommend you buy this book.
Mara, what can I say? I think WOW is too tame of a word to describe Fear of Heights. It was so worth the wait for this book. This book is exceptionally written, It's stunning in it's entirety, Its flawless in every sense. It's absolutely amazing. I loved everything about it.
This definitely gets 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments.

Ok so this is the conclusion of Kate and Jaylee's story..... It was so heartbreakingly gritty and sad... Kate went through a lot in this book and the pain and circumstances she endured was so sad and my heart shattered for her.... Jaylee went through so much as well .... His pain came of the book was suffocating at times but he tried to mask it but I seen right through him... The ending of the book left me wanting more but I understand that the ending had to end the way it did but I was rooting for a different outcome..... When I finished this book I had to lay down and process everything I read in the book.... I was upset and my husband said to me that life doesn't always have a happy ending... I would love to read more about Kate, Jaylee or even Janinie and Oscar in the future if the author gets the inspiration to do so.... I highly recommend this set of books to anyone who loves a dark forbidden read....
November 16, 2014
This is the second novel in the Heightsbound series and what a series its been WOW, if you thought book 1 was good, this one will blow your socks of. Theres just no end to the devastation that Kate puts herself and her family through. She just dosent know how to keep control of herself ! The love she feels for Jalee holds no bounds. She puts everybody's lives at risk with the stupid decisions she makes, without thinking of the consequences of her actions ! This novel is dark, its full of deceit, lies and hurt its a totally heart wrenching story. From page 1 the story grips you, just when you think the plot cant get any thicker........it does ! I felt like i was sat watching the film play out in my mind. Mara White is a incredible author who has out shone herself beyond belief.
October 31, 2014
I love White's writing style. This is the second book of the series and like the first, I found myself completely immersed in the writing. This book has the characters we all love to hate. I can say more than one time I wanted to scream at these characters. What I love about this book is how well its written. I found myself right there beside the characters. And let me tell you this is one exciting read. The world is a bit dangerous, but man is it exciting. This read is the kind of escape from reality that most readers crave.
Overall I really liked the book. I didn't always like the characters, but at the same time I loved them. I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to read this book. I truly enjoyed every moment of it.

Just as good-if not better than book one.
This is a wild ride of self destruction,
Self loathing and self satisfaction.
It's the car we all climb into when we want what we
Can't have-the misery that's speckled with giddiness
and delirium.
It's the deliberate stomp on the gas pedal when all
You want is to intentionally lose control.
This book is written in such a way-swerving in and out
Of the most disastrous consequences-at top speed.
You will literally be chewing your nails down to finger
Nubs at 2AM-unable to put this book down.
Passionate, desperate, sexy and maddening-the characters
Will take you through every thrill ride with ease.

I cried I cried and I cried some more for ideal for jaylee for Kate I'm so pissed at some of her choices yet I understand why she chose them, from the beginning I didn't like Robert something just didn't seem right with him such a twisted evil excuse for a man my heart was tore between the men from both sides of the fence I rooted for them both hoping someway they both would win while in the back of my mind I knew they couldn't, Mara you wrecked me with this one, I loved it, I yelled at it, I hugged it, and I cried for it, this is a book and a series might I add that I won't forget in a hurry thanks for the gift, 5 big fat stars you smashed it well done !

Author Mara White has done it again!!!! This book is a roller coaster of emotions that I did not want to get off. SO much happens in this book!!! So fast moving and beautifully written. I don't know how I can dislike and like the main character Kate so much at the same time! wonderful story line, and some of my favorite cast of charters ever in a book! Do yourself a favor and read this book!! LOVED IT!
September 18, 2014
omg I thought the first book was the best book ever till I read this one! ! No book has ever made me feel so many different emotions. This book will make you question right and wrong. It will show you love and life are not black and white as you think they are. You will start to question what you would do for someone you love. Kate and Jaylee will take you thought danger, fear, sadness and love. I love the story of Kate and Jaylee . I really hope this book is not the end of their story.
