** spoiler alert ** 
 Still well written and interesting, like the first book. I'm a big Belly/Conrad kind of girl so of course the ending devastated me, but i also thought that her little wrap up of her feelings for Con ended pretty randomly, and too quickly. i don't like the epilogue, it seemed like the author was hinting around that she marries Jere but i really don't want that to happen, there was no true building of their relationship. i liked the flashbacks of her and conrad, i really wanted them to get back together. i thought the quality of this book couldn;t compare with the first, and honestly, i wish she jsut left the first book and let the reader be satisfied with that.
