I stumbled upon this series and honestly didn't know what to expect. I never imagined I would fall in love with this series as much as I did. I quickly related to Catherine in many different ways. I understood her pain and her fear of letting someone in. I understood why she did the things she di...
I say to Natalie for the tenth time. “And just stop. She left, okay? I’m not going back up there with my nuts in a jar.” Her eyes soften and she bites her lip. Then the little terrorist turns angry. “What’s wrong with you? Are you dumb? Blind? In need of someone to slap you? Because I’ll do it!” ...
How much did I drink last night? I rub the side of my head and try to recall what happened. I remember getting to the bar, drinking a shitload of shots, and seeing Beau, the guy who didn’t save Faith. He should’ve done something more.

We climb the stairs and reach the spare bedroom where I’ve set up her portacrib. It faces the back...
It’s chic. The concierge informs us that we both have rooms on the fifteenth floor—right next to each other. Thoughts of how close he’ll be float through my mind. I enter my room and the sheer beauty of it takes my breath away. There’s a four-poster king size bed that faces the ocean. It’s adorne...
For a moment I allow myself a sliver of hope that Jackson came back, but when I see the deep crimson hair, I know it’s Ash. She must have come home and crawled into bed with me knowing something happened. “Ash,” my voice croaks as I wake her. She groans and turns over, facing me and opening one e...
