Many of us are very familiar with, and quite fond of this series, specifically because of how it made us feel. How intensely it had us connecting with our emotions. How distraught we became, how connected we were to the characters and how much we were rooting for… a certain outcome. These may not necessarily be heartwarming, soul-moving, or transcending, but they are a PURE GUILTY PLEASURE!!! On the other end of the emotional spectrum. These books will have you swooning, and screaming at your e-reader. You might want to chain it to your wrist, friends. When it comes to the books in this series, I’ve heard every exhausted, yet elated exultation imaginable:
Molly: “… my emotions were everywhere.”
Nicky: “AR and AC are my number 1 most angsty reads ever!”
Gudy: “… its sad, happy, tragic, hearbreaking, agonizngly amazing!!! loved it!!!”
Tania: “Grrrrrr! The angst.”
Krista: “… UGH I am not sure if I love or HATE these books or BOTH :)”
Jennifer: “Get ready to wanna slam your kindles against the WALL!!!!” <—sidenote from Maryse: *snort* I hear that one a lot!
Oh you know you’re curious! And lucky you, both books are now finally available, ready and waiting to be read. Some readers had to suffer after book #1’s sort of… cliffhanger, with no relief! Can you imagine the agony? Oh yes. There was agony. Little warning: This series may not be for everybody. It is pure angst, and drama, and over-the-top situations that will have you reeling. I was running on pure adrenaline by the end of ’em. But if you’re into that sort of thing, and willing to possibly have your heart ripped out in the process, then this is for you!
About book #1:
Jack and Lexi never had a typical relationship. After 2 years without speaking, she receives a phone call that changes everything. He unexpectedly asks her to convince the new girl, Bekah, that he’s ready to commit. Jack is calling now after everything they had been through because there is another woman. She can’t believe it. Follow Lexi in this heart wrenching drama as she relives her past relationship, or lack thereof, with Jack, and not just in her own mind, but to his fiance-to-be. Throw in Bekah’s hot brother who always seems to be in the right place at the right time, a past with more secrets to unravel than you can even imagine, and you get a recipe for disaster. Find out what happens to Lexi as she travels to Atlanta to get the closure she so desperately desires from Jack, and how the bumps of life seem to keep getting in the way.

“You checkin’ me out?” he drawled as if he hadn’t come out of the bathroom like that on purpose.
“Yep. Wondering how late I can be without getting yelled at,” she said.
He chuckled, wrapping the towel around his waist to cover up some of the distraction. “I don’t want you to get yelled at.”
“It might be worth it,” she murmured.
OMG, a book 3! I think I’ve just ate a cookie, brownie, and cupcake all at the same time! I’m so excited! Team Ramsey!
^^what she said!!! soooo excited!
I hope we get some Ramsey…he is very yummy!
I fell in live w this series it so good I can’t wait for 3!!!
Ugh! Need more teasers!!
It has to be Ramsey <3.
Write fast please!!!
You have just made me the happiest girl 🙂
When will book 3 be published? These cliff hangers are killing me!!!! Ugh. This series is so amazing, but I seriously need a blissful ending!!!
100% Team Jack!!
It has to be Ramsey hello? If it’s not then look out readers… I still want to see Jack happy at the end of the day. His character is so dark and troubled, it’s like he needs to grow up, evolve and find his HEA. I so want Jack to find his voice use it and just say NO to Bekah, I can’t stand that well…I can’t say in this blog. But I definitely don’t want to see her get the guy. She irks me!
Yay!! So excited for a book #3. Hurry Kyla! We want more!
I agree Rosie, I hope Jack evolve and find his HEA, just hope it’s not with Lexie. I really feel that ship has sailed. Team Ramsey all the way! I sure hope they have a HEA.
OMG!! Please It has to be Ramsey,.. Or could it be Jack? I can’t wait!! this is torture!!!!!!
Can’t wait for Book 3! This HAS to be Lexie and Ramsey! I agree with Rosie about Bekah. This series is such an emotional roller coaster, I can’t put it down. It does seem like Lexie finally “Grew Up’ at the end of AR.
Just finished book 1 and 2! I was so up and down…laughing, crying, practically screaming! I couldn’t decide what outcome I wanted and where I wanted the story to go…I took my Kindle everywhere and read every chance I could get! I was totally hooked! Now I need book 3 asap!!
Oh that is so Ramsey and Lexie!! I love me some Ramsey
Oh my, I loved these books… I so connected with Lexi and her emotions in these books. These books are exactly what I crave in a story line, I want to love, I want my heart ripped out, I want to be angry, I want to be healed and mended again to get some sort of closure… I want so much going on that it keeps my attention 100%. I could not put them down. 5 STARS… can not wait for book 3. 🙂
Ok, so Jack is gorgeous and irresistible. But just pisses me off. Him and Bekah deserve each other. I am definitely team Ramsey but my gut says look out here comes John.can not wait for Book 3.
Team Jack!!! How long do we have to wait
Jack!!! can’t wait #3

Honestly, i don’t know who’s team i should be on…
