For every action, there’s a reaction.Or in my case, a consequence.One night.One party.One girl.One time.One unforeseen tragedy.Two shattered hearts.Two lives changed forever.
Mackenzie was an outstanding book that is told in dual POV between Cole Mackenzie and Harper Murphy. This is the second book I have read from MA Foster and she is becoming one of my all-time favorite authors. This storyline will make you feel so many emotions! I felt crazy going from laughing, to crying, to falling in love with all the characters.
What would you do if you felt like you lost all the people who you loved? I felt bad for Harper that she felt she had to keep to herself for so long without any help. Cole was attracted to Harper as soon as he saw her at Mac’s but she had no interest in him because she was afraid to get close for reasons I can’t disclose because it would give away so much! Cole is the type of guy that doesn’t date but when he sees Harper… Game Over!
This is the second book of the Heritage Bay Series, it can be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend reading Jaybird first. I will definitely be recommending Mackenzie to everyone!

Love love loved this page-turner. Cole is a 16-year-old who has his world turned upside down after receiving some shocking news. Harper finds herself all alone after losing her sister. Cole and Harper are opposites in more ways than they are the same which added so much dynamic to their story. I fell in love with both of them.
This was an emotional read for me I found myself wiping away tears several times throughout. I was totally shocked at what was revealed at the beginning of the book and I liked how the author explained and resolved it in a realistic way. I look forward to reading more from this author.

I loved Cole’s character from the beginning. I wasn’t too sure where it was going with Harper but my goodness did this go perfectly. It’s how the story was written that just made you fall in love with them both. You through the emotions with them with all the twists and turns. Sometimes things happen in life and you have no idea how strong you are until you have to be strong. Cole & Harper show strength and maturity and growth throughout this beautifully written story.This is becoming my favorite series. Can’t wait to read the next part!!!

Like every other book by MA Foster this book hooked me from the first page. I did not read these in order, in fact, I read this one last and wasn’t lost at all. However, I do recommend starting with book 1 and reading in order. This is Cole and Harper’s story and what a story it is! Cole is the a**hole you can’t help but fall in love with and Harper starts off as a wallflower and then becomes friends with Jay and seems to break out of her shell. She is that friend that will always have your back and I love that she doesn’t take any sh*t from Cole or anyone else once she breaks out of her shell. This was another fantastic book and everyone needs to read it!

Gah! Where do I start? The cover, just melts my heart every time I look at it, so beautiful! The feels in this book is simply raw! I loved this book the most, even though all three books tell the same story in different point of views, they all add some deeper understanding of what happened with certain individuals. I empathize deeply with Harper and Cole’s situations and the way the author relays their emotion is absolutely awe inspiring. I loved every twist and turn this story took!

This story takes place during the same timeline as Jaybird, however it’s from Cole and Harper’s Points of View.
Let me just say that so many questions I had were answered. Plus, I absolutely loved Willow in the first book, but things seemed off, now they make sense.
These 2 have so many secrets, it’s ridiculous, but the best part is watching them unravel and work things out.

This was my first book from M.a Foster. She’s amazing. I was a mom in high school, it was a one time thing and there she was 9 months later. So I can relate to this book. I was hooked. Shes one of my favorite authors.
This book is a pov from Cole Mackenzie and Harper Murphy. Cole first time having sex he finds out he’s going to be a daddy. Haper is the sister to Jade. The mother of Cole’s baby.
I feel horrible for Harper when when everyone in her life gets taken away from her. It’s a tear jerker for sure. It’s my to go to read. I’ve read it numerous times

M.A. Foster has a way with words and keeps the storyline fresh. She is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. I stayed up way too late reading this wonderful story.
This book had it all; including all the normal teenage drama along with some twists, I didn’t see coming! Cole wasn’t the easiest character to love; I wanted to throat punch him a few times but he also made me want to swoon. Harper’s story made my heart hurt for her. I really loved her character. The chemistry they had was off the charts.
As for that cover, it is just the sweetest book cover ever! I LOVE it so much! The cover gave me all the feels and made me want to jump into Cole’s story. This is book 2 in the Heritage Bay Series but can be read as a complete standalone, even though I suggest reading Jaybird first.

A wonderful story of two teen’s tragedy bringing them together. I loved Cole Mackenzie. He could be a jerk sometimes but he came through when it mattered most.
And Harper, she’s a bit of a liar but after what she’s been through, you ca’t really blame her. She’s kind and genuine.
These two have a unique bond. It’s a sweet journey seeing them work their way to each other through the drama of high school.

Mackenzie was an amazing story! It was very emotional and moving. I was surprised at parts of the book. MA definitely had me on the edge of my seat on this one. I have thoroughly enjoyed this story. Mackenzie is written in dual pov telling Cole’s side and Harper’s side.
Cole made one mistake in high school that made him grown up quickly. Luckily he has his family to support him with his decision. There was a very tragic incident that brought Harper into his life. But she has secrets that could tear them apart. But they had that chemistry that could help them through..
This is my second read by MA Foster. She is becoming my one click author. Mackenzie can be read as a standalone, but I suggest to read Jaybird first. It gives you more insight to the characters. I am looking forward to reading more by MA Foster!

This tale has everything a typical high school has: sex-craved teenagers, hormones, secrets, lies, drama, bullies, mean girls, athletes, cheerleaders. It also throws in some rockstar royalty, with some other celebrities tossed in for good measure. Featuring more loss and heartache that typical teenagers should have to deal with at such an early age. There is the love of a family who has your back through the good, bad, and the hard times while being the heart of the it’s community. This story is about Cole and Harper, who through tragedy will come together. They just quite don’t know it yet. Then there is Willow, the little girl who steals the hearts of everyone she is around. She was my favorite.

What a beautiful story. MA Foster does an amazing job at giving us a fresh, amazing story line and great characters. Mackenzie is the story of Cole and Harper, this book is the second in this series but it can totally be read as a standalone, but I really recommend reading Jaybird first.
Now Cole and Harper story is full of everything, trust me you get everything, happiness, love, lost, drama, twists it was amazing. Cole has a promising football future, great family and friends and Harper is a fighter, someone that has lost and is learning how to get by, so many things define this characters but at the end of the day their chemistry is unbelievable. Their story is beautiful written.
I loved the we get to revisit characters from Jaybird and Willow just melted my heart. I truly recommend this book. Such a beautiful story with all the feels.
5 Stars read!!

I was so happy to see this lovely book on my kindle. I feel like I’ve been waiting on Cole and Harper’s story for a so very long time! Walking into Mackenzie was like walking into Thanksgiving dinner with your friends and family. You feel all at home and like you know everyone. You know it’s going to be fun, warm and inviting but you know your friends, your family, and while you’re happy to see everyone, you know it’s gonna get messy! I think you know, looking at this cover that there has been a secret between friends and lovers. I was shocked and just didn’t see it coming.
MA Foster knocked me off my feet and strait on my booty. Her writing and storytelling has gotten even better since Jaybird. She creates relationships like no one else. Yes, just like Jaybird, we have a full cast and crew, but if you’ve read Jaybird, and you better have read Jaybird if you’re reading Mackenzie. However, I don’t see a big group of friends and family members as a down side, I see it as a TON more upcoming books. Plus, every time we get a new book we get to visit with our previous friends. My favorite think about Cole and Harper’s story was that they worked at it. They were real people. They didn’t just tumble back together. I appreciate the realness of this and it was one of my tope favorite things! That’s pretty much all you get from me… this book is a real treat and every reader deserves to experience this book for themselves.
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.

This is MA Foster 2nd book and its a must read. The story is told in dual POV from both Harper and Cole.
Cole Mackenzie is everyone’s dream guy (well he’s my dream guy anyway!) Poor Harper has had her struggles and done her best. I’m not doing to give anything anyway but this is a MUST READ for 2019.
And oh my…..Willow is amazing.
You get all the feels especially the love between close family and friends too, they are all such a strong group of people. I’m definitely looking forward to more from MA Foster.
