I received this book by the Author for an honest review.This is the second book in a series but you do not have to read the first to read this one.  When I received this book from the author I did not realize it was a second book in a series when I started it.  I messaged the Author to tell her I was reading and was 30% into the book and loved it.  She asked if I was able to follow the story line without reading the first book.  There was an instant with Jessie were I was confused but so was Emma and everything was explained quickly and without rehashing the entire first book.  There were some inside jokes from the first books but there again Emma was also in the dark and they were explained and I thought just as funny.  Only thing all this did was make me want to go back and read the first book to find out what everything that happened between Sarah, Manda, Caleb, and Brett now that I had the synopsis.This book started off with me crying reading about Caleb and Brett heading to the scene of an accident and not just any accent but the accident that Brett’s wife and Caleb’s fiancée were involved in and they knew one fatality, one injury.  When Caleb learned it was his fiancée that was the “one fatality” he was on a mission to prove that Sarah was the reason for Manda’s death and should be behind bars.  This one accident tore so many lives apart.Emma comes back to Chicago to help take care of her sister, Sarah, and falls for Caleb.  Even though both know this will end badly they cannot stay away from one another.  When Brett finds out about Caleb and Emma things don’t go so well and Emma decides on a girl’s night out she meets Kara.  I love how Jesse, Kara, and Emma get along like they have always been friends never miss a beat.  I was cracking up at the Vegetable report…seriously, “large zucchini”, “Butternut squash”…too funny.Emma’s roommates from Georgia are awesome the outgoing say whatever is on his mind, Hunter, and then the quite protective say what needs to be said when it needs to be said, Alex.  The “balloon therapy” that Emma came up with, I loved.  I thought Emma and Caleb’s smart remarks and comebacks with one another were great, neither one backing down from the other.  The twist in this was great never even saw it coming had no idea.  I can’t really say much more than that because I don’t want to give anything away.This is a great book no matter if you read it as a part of the series or a stand alone.  I do have to say I have to go back and read the first book, Changing Course, to find out Sarah, Jesse, and Brett full story.  Plus there has to be more of this Kara chic in book one and she cracked me up in this book.  I see there is also a Novella about Hunter Coy, Savor Me, which I need to get my hands on also.
