After the thrills, the highs and lows of the first two books in the Heartbeat series (Heartbeat and Come What May) I was practically foaming at the mouth waiting for I Am Yours.  All I could think after finishing Come What May was "how could she (Faith Sullivan) leave me hanging like this?!?"  So I was thrilled to get to read I Am Yours five days early.  Because, Adam.  Just Adam.  Sigh.I love it when sequels start right where the previous book left off.  So I was so happy to see that I Am Yours started in the same exact scene where Come What May ended.  The confrontation between Katie and Adam was so exciting and I didn't want to miss a word of it, or see it summarized later.  I wanted a front row seat for it...Adam loves Katie but she doesn't even know him!!!I Am Yours had a really strong start.  I was happy with how Faith brought new characters into the story and developed their relationships to Katie, Adam, and Jada.  I liked the alternating POVs and found myself torn between who I wanted Adam to end up with.  I loved the intensity of the emotion between the characters.  Faith is great at writing chemistry between her characters, and she certainly didn't disappoint with I Am Yours.I love reading about strong female main characters, and Jada is one of my favorite heroines.  I admire her strength, integrity, and quick-wittedness.  I like that she stands up for herself.  Katie has always been a weaker character, one who needs to be taken care of, but she grew a lot in this book.  And I liked who she grew into.  She finally starts to take control of her life and take ownership of her problems.  I loved seeing that change in her.I'm not going to spoil the book, but I was completely surprised at how the story ended.  The main conflict was the relationship between Katie and Adam and I didn't see that resolution coming at all.  I thought Faith was very clever in how she resolved the issue, and that part of the story made the book feel like a psychological thriller.  It was unique and intriguing.  It made I Am Yours more than just a love story.I was surprised at how Faith ended things, and I confess that I was mad when I first finished the book.  But, the more I think about it, the happier I am that Faith ended things the way she did.  There was no other logical way for the love story to play out, and a different ending would have felt inauthentic.  I'm really hoping for a spin-off series, so I can see everyone get their happily ever afters.If you haven't read this series, and you love a good contemporary NA novel, I'd definitely recommend it.  I've read all of Faith Sullivan's work, and thoroughly enjoyed it all!
