Shattered and Mended (Shaken Series #2) by Julle Bailes4 out of 5 StarsAAGGHHH!!!  I would like to chunk my Nook across the room but I can't type this review and do that at the same time.  This is such a good book but it is truly one of the most angst filled books I have ever read in my life!  I almost hate that I love it so much, but I'm only waiting until I finish typing this review to ask Julie Bailes when the next book in the series is coming out.  So if I love it so much than why am I not giving it 5 stars you may be asking....well it's because I can't stand cliffhangers and I just don't  know if this book ends with a cliffhanger or if that was just the ending....and that bothers me.  I think it's slightly manipulative of any author to end a book with a hanger because it forces readers to buy another book if they care about the characters.  When I would love to know how it ends in the book I already have invested my time in (and money if it's not for the blog and then tell me more in the next book. And I understand everything can’t be wrapped up, but the main plot of that book can be. So for me to invest in 3 books and still end with an unknown is just aagghhh!!!  But let me back up and tell you what I loved...because I did love the book!Once again we have the same cast of characters; Amazing, handsome, giving, passionate Blake who loves Allie with all that he is.  Allie who is snarky, sexy, lovable, insecure, and torn between the man who has captured her heart and the man who owns her soul and last but not least is Wyatt, the sexy,  stubborn, soldier who wants his butterfly back.  Together they light up the pages brighter than fireworks on the fourth!!Bailes is an amazing author and there is no other way to say how smoothly she writes or how passion filled her stories truly are.  You really need to read them yourself to see how incredible she is!*A complimentary copy was given in exchange for an honest review*Pepper, My Secret Book Spot
