Rating: 5 out of 5

**SPOILERS** Spoilers for those of you who have not read "Assets".First this book is NOT a stand alone. You must read "Assets" before reading "Liabilities".For those of you who have read Assets then you know that Assets revolved around the relationship between Kalen and Baily. It is also about the danger that Baily is in from her findings of corruption in a major corporation. At the end of the book she is also torn apart from Kalen. But during Assets Author Shannon Dermott mentions Baily's old life and her first love, Turner. Assets leaves us with Baily running away after she is told that she cannot see Kalen. Liabilities picks up right where Assets leaves off. Baily, not knowing where else to go runs back to her old life that she ran away from in the first place. She returns to the clan where life is similar to that of the Amish. No electricity, no plumbing, Amish type clothing, men do the field labor and women cook and clean. When Baily left the clan she didn't tell anybody she was leaving including her fiance, Turner. Turner's heart was broken. The first person Baily runs into when she walks into her old hometown is Turner. It soon becomes apparent that she still has feelings for Turner and Turner openly admits that he still loves Baily. But Baily is feeling guilty because she still has feeling for Kalen.This book is mostly about Baily and Turner and their relationship. I couldn't help falling in love with Turner but I loved Kalen in Assets so I was very torn as to who I wanted Baily to love. There is obviously more to this book than Baily's relationship with Turner. There is drama and a couple of story lines involving Baily's father and her sister. Near the end of the book Kalen shows up and the tension is thick as pea soup! Baily is caught between Turner and Kalen and she realizes that she loves both men. She also knows she must choose. Although Kalen has tracked Baily down because he loves her he is also there because Baily is still in danger. (You'll fully understand why Baily is in danger when you read Assets.) While we think we know who Baily has chosen to spend her life with near the end of the book we are left with some doubts. And even if we're right about who she's chosen there is still the chance that she may change her mind. But the book leaves us with a major cliff hanger related to the danger that Baily is in. UGH!!! Shannon how could you??? While Assets has more dramatic moments I still loved this book. There is still plenty of action the further into the book that you read.I will recommend this book to my friends and also to those fans of contemporary romance with drama, deep love relationships and heated sex. Liabilities along with Assets are both on my favorites list.
