I used to think everything was black and white, truth or lie, easy or hard, that if I could just escape my strict, overbearing, abusive father, my life would be perfect. But since I’ve found a reason to risk his wrath and leave, to help a friend in need, I’ve come to realize everything I thought I knew is wrong.
Friends have their own agenda, honesty comes with a dosage of lie, easy doesn’t even exist, keeping secrets sucks, and love...love is the most painful thing of all.
Maybe if Quinn Hamilton hadn’t asked me to skip classes for the day and help him pick out an engagement ring for my best friend, I wouldn’t have fallen for him so completely on that sunny Tuesday afternoon and I wouldn’t feel so conflicted. But I did, and I can’t take it back, no matter how hard I try. So I have to deal with the fact that even I’m not as good, or honest, or caring as I’d always thought I was, and no matter what I do next, someone’s going to get hurt. Probably me.

*Don't worry! The hero and heroine are not cheaters.*
OHMYGAWD. If that wasn't perfection I don't know what is. Linda Kage is proving to be one of those authors whose books I'd auto-read. I swear this woman is amazing, fabulous, awesomesauce, fantasting and just plain GOOD.
I´ve read and loved all the books in the Forbidden men series, and let me tell you, every book just keeps on getting better. The story was interesting, the characters sigh-worthy and their chemistry was off the charts. Maybe it was because it was forbidden, or whatever, but my ovaries went boom!
Quin and Zoey were both adorable characters, and so much alike. They were both listeners, and both shy, and shared a past filled with abuse. Talking about pasts, how awesome is that idea?! I've read quite a lot of books with broken hero's or heroine's, but in all these years of reading books I have never encountered both the H and the h with a dark past. I loved, loved, loved it! They understood each other so well, and there was no fuss about this big discovery, because they both came clean to each other about that pretty early on.
''You and I... we're watchers. We worry about our friends and keep silent tabs on them, waiting to step in when they need us. That's just... it's us. Doing that together felt right.''
Most of the time when I read a story about two people who fall in love while one of them (or both) is in a relation, I get kind of impatient to get to the part where they break up with those person(s). But with With Every Heartbeat, I so didn't mind. I actuallly liked seeing them go from awkward strangers, to friends, to falling in love with each other, all the while keeping it secret from Cora, the girlfriend.

Oh, Cora. Cora, Cora, Cora. That bitch. Honestly, every thing she did I could forgive. But what she did at the end? What she did to Zoey? (People who've read With Every Heartbeat will understand what I'm talking about). I'm sorry, but she took it waaaaaaay too far. She permanently etched herself into my characters-that-I-utterly-despise-and-hate list.
So yeah. Basically, this book was pure awesomeness. Every character was fleshed out, and the plot was interesting and very compelling to read. I cannot tell you guys how much I loved reading this book, not to mention all the other ones in the series. You guys should not wait a single second to read this series, or anything from Linda Kage, 'cuz she is freaking amazeballs!
