I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Would I ever be able to convince him I loved him exactly how he was, not as a version of what he could be? That I didn’t want him to change at all?

For me, this book was so much more delicious than the last, and I’m not even a little ashamed to admit that I misted up more than once. There was am honesty about it, a rawness, that really let us get to the heart of the characters. To strip them bare, both literally and figuratively, to see into their soul. Finn OWNED this book, and held NOTHING back. The emotions that we are privy to witness will simply make your heart swoon overtime! There is something about a man in uniform, all strong alpha, ALL male, so strong, commanding, and yet wears his heart on his sleeve, that is just SO mouth-watering to read!

I will not leave you. And if you leave, I will always be here waiting for you when you get back. Whether it’s in a few days, a week, or a freaking year. I’ll be here. I’ll be yours.

Out of Time is definitely more heart-pounding than its predecessor! There were moments when I literally thought my heart would simply stop working. Ah hell, who am I kidding, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop the ENTIRE book! My heart ached for what was inevitably to come. I cannot begin to imagine the emotional turmoil that military members and their families go through, wondering if their loved one is safe, but I CAN empathize. My heart goes out to them, for they truly HAVE strength I could only hope to someday possess.

Even more beautiful than the last, I cannot wait to see where Jen takes us next. Carrie and Finn will stay in my hearts for a long time, especially Finn. 4.5 stars for me!

Out of Time begins where Out of Line ended, which was a huge cliff hanger. The mysterious phone call is finally revealed after much anticipation once I finished Out of Line. Carrie and Finn have opened their hearts and their secrets up to one another, but the only secret they keep now, is their relationship, from her father, the overprotective senator.

In Out of Time, their relationship will be tested to a whole new level. Since their relationship is brand new, the very thought of being separated, is absolutely devastating. As a couple, they are polar opposites, she's a wealthy senator's daughter and he's a tattooed biker marine, but they have a connection that seems unbreakable. Finn is protective and caring, showing his true sensitive side, which will just melt your heart.

This book has it all, sex, heart break, secrets, romance, danger and suspense. You'll fall in love with Finn even more than the first book. The friendship and romance between Carrie and Finn will blow you away. You'll have tears in your eyes, and a knot in your throat, not to mention the sex scenes that will bring out your most dirtiest thoughts and desires.

I'm looking forward to more from Carrie and Finn. I give this book 5/5 just like I did the first one. If you have read the first book, you'll absolutely want to start this book immediately! ( )

Out of Time by Jen McLaughlin is the second book in the Out Of Line series.

Finn and Carrie survived the secret of his career but can they survive the reality of it?

Strange things are starting to happen. Carrie's dad is behaving differently towards Finn causing Finn to worry he knows about him and his daughter.

Carrie's had the feeling she's being watched but puts it down to paranoia.

Now Finn has received orders to report to base on an off-weekend and he's the only one from his platoon.

All is not right in sunny California but only time will reveal these secrets. Once the truth comes out and Finn gets his orders tension levels skyrocket and holy cliffhanger!!!!!!!!!

The love between Finn and Carrie is so disgustingly perfect I didn't want to put the book down AT ALL! Ugh, he's attentive, caring, demanding, cocky, sexy... need I go on. Carrie is a strong female that's only getting stronger emotionally and is learning to put her foot down with her parents on just what she's willing to do and sacrifice as a senators daughter.

If you are extremely adverse to cliffhangers then wait until the next book is out, expected publication April 22, 2014. THEN, you must read this book!!!! ( )
