It started off with a lecture and a guest professor at their college for three friends that would end in one being stalked, another offered a job with the FBI and another finding love in a hospital. First off, I love this series covers each of the books in The Chemical Attraction series have awesome covers. The Kindred Code picks up a few months after the first book finished and Taylor and Stuart are trying to readjust to life and their blossoming relationship after Stuart had a stalker which nearly killed Taylor. Taylor who is pregnant with their little flower though feels Stuart is still hiding things from her and being away from her best friends, she starts to feel neglected and hurt. Will Stuart end up pushing Taylor too far and have her running back into her friend's arms? Eva is busy loving her new family Matt and his son David and wants nothing more than to be with them, but what happens when Matt's mother starts a coup against Eva and the whole small town start gossiping about Matt and Eva's relationship? Will Matt stand by Eva and prove to her that she is worth the world and that his and David's love is all that matters. I also have to admit David was one of my favorite characters in this book. Joe has his FBI dreams come true when he is asked by the FBI director to help him with an undercover operation. What will happen though when things start to go sideways? I loved the end part of this where Joe enlisted the help of Matt and Stuart, and it was like Joe was finally accepting the guys that would become his brother-in-law. If you love New Adult and Romantic Suspense, then check out The Kindred Code - Book #2 in Christina Thompson's The Chemical Attraction series.

Okay, I thought I had really enjoyed Their Rigid Rules but man, I really loved The Kindred Code. And yes, I DO recommend you read that other book first. Personally, I felt like I already had a connection with these characters and as I read this second book, that connection only got stronger and deeper. Very well developed characters that were very much brought to life with Ms. Thompson's writing style! LOVED IT!! I was once again glued to my tablet! With everything that was going on, I needed to know how everything would unfold! I felt emotionally invested in this storyline, LOL!

Have I mentioned how excited I am that I started this series? Another 5-star read!

This is the second book in the series and there is such life going on in this book. The connection between Taylor , Stuart, Joe, and Eva is even stronger in this book. I felt so bad for Stuart because of all he has been thru and yet felt he was being stupid. My heart went out to Taylor and how she was impacted by everything. Eva comes into a new relationship in this story and I loved how she finds life after college. I loved how everything changes from book 1. This was a great story and I loved getting meshed into all the characters into the story. I really was rooting for one couple and I wanting to see HEA and hoping it would happen. Reading everything as it unfolded kept me on the edge of my seat but what a great way to read. I look forward to the next book in the series.

My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
