First off, let me say a huge thank-you to Elise for sending me a copy of Jarod's Heart for an honest review! WOW!! This was definitely better than the first, and I mean that's hard to do since the first had it's own set of emotions and moments!!
While I was reading Jarod's Heart, you immediately get caught in a twist right at the beginning! Then when you're thinking that everything is fine, BAM! In comes some more devastating news and scenes that leave you thinking who is part of it, and what will happen! There is a major part of this book that I just cannot say, because it would totally spoil a majority of the book, but OMG I totally didn't expect it at first!
I do wish that there was more of a *romance* with Jarod and Lauren...like the entire time, but I also liked how it wasn't all about the physical aspect. It was definitely a cute love story, and I totally rooted for the King family on all aspects!!
Overall I really loved this novel! Yes there were a couple moments where I thought it could have had a little more spark, but overall, it was amazing! There was so much heartache, as well as raw emotions for everyone! There were twists, and little spoilers that still kept you wanting more! I felt like every character was part of my life, and I found myself get swept up in the story, and honestly felt like it was real! So much love, passion, protection, suspense, abuse, and just overall roller coaster of emotions was just so much, and yet not enough!!

This was a fun book, especially since it's written by a friend. It's a love story in the tradition of those I grew up reading with a bit of mystery thrown in.
I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy romance and mystery.
