I reviewed an ARC voluntarily, and look forward future novels by the author.

I was so curious to see how Jax and Ana were going to get through what happened in book one . Will Jax survive leaving Ana ? Can Ana fight the demons from her past ? This book was gripping and held me spellbound throughout the pages ! L.A. Cotton weaves us even deeper into the mystery that is Chasity Falls . I love this series! I could not put this book down.
This series is getting Really good and I couldn’t put down for the life of me . This book is written in dual POV I love when authors do that give both side of the story. What a rollercoaster of emotions between Ana and Jackson it’s not easily for them . I am really enjoying this series off to read the next books I am dying to know what happened next !
I believe everyone who has read Loyalty and Lies, the first part of the story about Ana and Jackson, have been looking forward to this sequel to their story. And believe me, the author does not disappoint at all with this mixture of drama and romance, angst and suspense.
Her new beginning took her to a new environment and new people. Seeking a little peace to heal her wounds was what she wanted, but she came across Jackson. A boy who managed to shake her to the core, awakening feelings that were too strong to ignore. But the few moments of happiness and complete surrender ended up too quickly. She lost him too. And all the hiding could not help, she is here again in Chastity Falls after 4 months. Seemingly strong, yet so weak, Anne sees Jackson again. And do all those lies hide truths that will bring them together again?
The author again manages to weave an intriguing story that pulls you into her world from the very first pages. What particularly amazes me is its ability to keep the suspense level quite high. No matter how hard you try to predict and guess what will happen next, the author still manages to shock you and leave you utterly surprised in certain parts. Ana and Jackson are still the same characters we met in the first part, but with even greater depth and layering. In this part, we have a complete insight into Jackson’s thoughts which further makes it easier for the reader to connect with the character and understand the reasons for his actions. I believe we are all shocked as we turn the pages and become aware of the torture Jackson endures from his brother. We also become aware of the weight of lies and secrets, watching the veil slowly rise from Anna’s eyes. They both desire each other so much, but the obstacles are sometimes too great.
There are some pretty steam sex scenes in this book that will make you blush. The chemistry between Jackson and Ana is off the charts. And the tender love is becoming stronger and stronger with each chapter, but the road to happiness for this couple is not an easy one.
With interesting main and secondary characters, a gripping storyline, and enough twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end, this series is a must-read for anyone who likes some suspense, mystery, and intrigue in their life, spiced with enough romance and lust. Can’t wait to read the final part of their story.
„You’re my strenght. My reason. You.”
This book put my poor heart through the grinder. The heartbreak, the yearning, the ache! Already in the first chapter I had to have a supply of tissues, and if I was a drinker I would also need a bottle of wine. But as events unfolded, there was also hope. Jax and Ana’s relationship is complicated to put it mildly, there are still many secrets and dangerous situations that need to be resolved, but their love shines through everything bad. Gahhh, this couple is EVERY-DAMN-THING!
While reading this part, I wanted to throw the Kindle against the wall and start screaming more than once. The angst is ever-present and the twists and turns pop up from every page. Chastity Falls is definitely not a boring place! And although I was so sad at first about Jackson and Ana’s relantionship (or the lack of it), as the story developed I swooned more and more and marveled at how wonderful they are together.
Although I wanted to hit Jackson on the back of the head more than once for misplaced loyalty, I understand his actions and I admire him for putting Ana’s safety as a priority. I love that despite being tough and commanding guy, he can also show sweet and affectionate side.
Ana, on the other hand, had a small set-back at the beginning, but she quickly started gaining strength and confidence. I loved to see her getting out of her shell and getting bolder.
This star-crossed lovers faced a lot of odds that were out of their hands, but their chemistry is still sizzling, their love as passionate as ever. And even if it seems that the worst is behind them, such a jaw-dropping plot-twist is discovered that it knocked me down! I cannot wait to see where it all goes in the next book!
Action packed and fully engaging,
Salvation and Secrets picks up where the first book left off, and the plot thickens as Ana and Jax story continues.
With some secrets exposed while more stay hidden, choises made and salvation is within reach Ana and Jax’s relationship and both their strengths and resolve is put to the test.
Just like the first book in the series this is a gripping, rollercoaster, page-turner and I can’t wait to find out how the story ends!
5 stars and an infinity ring.
Four months have passed since Savannah watched the boy she cared for choose loyalty to family over her, and it still hurts as much today as it did then. She returned home to Florida for a few months after her world fell apart, and now she is back in Chasity Falls with the hope that she will be able to hold herself together. And avoid the boy that shattered her heart. She knows all it is going to take is one siting of Jackson to send her back to the dark place she lived in before she ever set foot on campus… and that is a place she can’t go back again!
As we rejoin our young lovers it is evident this thing between them isn’t going to be an easy fix, there are a lot of moving parts to it. As well as, lots of people who want to have a stake in the possibility of them reuniting, and those who don’t want them together at all. But as much as they try to stay away from one another life just keep putting them on each other’s paths. There’s danger lurking around every corner, and Jackson tries his best to keep Ana safe.
This addition to the series had me on edge the whole way through, just waiting for the next wave of disaster to hit and tear them apart all over again. This one was a bit more emotional and angst driven, which I loved, I like the heart-twisting stuff. There were a lot of dark moments, but there were happier ones that snuck in there too. I cannot wait to see what the third installments holds for them! Highly recommend this series, it is so darn addictive!!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
The tension is killing me! Loved every minute of it though!
‘Salvation and Secrets’ is the second book from the Chastity Falls series, it is about Jackson and Savanah or Ana. When Ana and Jackson have currently been apart, they feel that life is even more difficult to bear now more than ever! Will they resist the temptation and remain apart?
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Its sophomore year for her at Chastity Falls Academy but she’s struggling to breathe let alone keep her head above water.
He made his decision and now he has to see it through, but he still watches her, whether she knows it or not.
He never chose this life, and he wishes things could be different. If only….
Their story continues in this the second book, and oh how heartbreaking it is.
It all began in book one “Loyalty and Lies”. They were like star crossed lovers. A modern day Romeo and Juliet.
They found each other and now life has driven a wedge between them and hearts are broken.
Everything is so raw, and tender. The hurt is endless. It makes for a very emotional read.
This series is proving to be very poignant and powerful whilst brutal at the same time.
I’m totally and utterly hooked on their story and am ready to dive into the third book.
We finally get insight into Jackson’s mind and the depth into which he cares for Ana. Told from both POV’s we are in Sophomore year now and in new classes, where Jackson and Ana only share one class this year, but as luck would have it, they are grouped together. Ana is furious at the prospect of having to sit close to the boy who gave her up so he could stay close to the deceitful family he grew up with,
It kills Jackson that he can’t be with Ana and has to pretend that she basically doesn’t exist, it was the sacrifice he gave to protect Ana from Braiden, but he’d do anything to keep her safe.
Ana truly has no idea what Jackson gave up in the end to keep her safe, the man is a great actor. While they both suffer in silence Braidon continues the family business and torturing Jackson in the process.
Ana does her best to get over Jackson, but she just can’t with him being so close.
There book contains a lot of angst, and I enjoyed reading Jackson’s side in this second book along with the more in depth mental state of where Ana was after her accident.
Overall it was a juicer look into the group living at Chastity Falls Academy.
This second book in the Chastity Falls series continues Jackson and Ana’s story and it is so important that you read Loyalty and Lies first. I am absolutely loving this series. In fact, I have struggled to put my kindle down so far!
In this instalment we see more of Jackson and the Donohue family and the influence that they have on him. The issues between Chastity Falls and Reibeckitt step up a notch too. There were times I was sat on the edge of my seat waiting for the inevitable to happen but not quite certain how scenes were going to play out. I couldn’t help feel for Ana who once again had to try to come to terms with more heartbreak, but thankfully she has some amazing friends who were there giving their support and I especially wanted to praise Paul for the part he plays.
There are lots of twists and turns in this story. My only niggle is that at times I wished for a faster pace. However, when the storyline was fresh and exciting I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough – which I absolutely loved. Salvation and Secrets has ended when life is just about to change for Jackson and Ana, and I cannot wait to see how their journey concludes.
The story continues where book one left, Anna and Jackson story keep getting better and better, they find themselves fighting against the odds they find for them to be together, there is more than what they both foresee and now they try to overcome them all. This is the second book in the trilogy. I got the audiobook and let me tell you it is fantastic, Emma Lysy defiantly did an outstanding job narrating this one as well kudos for her voice.
I am loving this series, it has it all, characters that you Iove, characters that you hate, drama and a story line that has you turning the pages so fast you don’t have anything else in your life but to devour these books.
Holy hell this book starts off straight from the where the first book ends and it starts with heartbreak and sadness. What Ana goes through and starts bringing out her old habits or at least thinking about them brings so much heartache that I just felt so sad for her, I just wanted to reach into this book and hug her. The way the author writes Ana’s story makes you really feel what she is feeling.
The book has such a fantastic storyline that sometimes you think that the story will go one way and it completely goes another way and so many times I had to stop and collect my thoughts and really take in what I had been reading.
If your a fan of YA/Na this series is becoming one of my absolute favourites and I can’t wait to read the third book in this series, this is another series where I have to read the next book straight after and that doesn’t happen often to me that I can do that.
It had everything Drama, intense love, violence, amazing storyline, you will not be disappointed in this book, loved it, loved it, loved it.
A massive 5 Stars
I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this book as much as the first. I picked it up and was lost in the world of Chastity Falls for the next two days. I didn’t want to put it down, but life made sure that I did.
We continued with Jackson and Ana’s story.
Jackson and Ana are learning to survive in a world without being together, and it is hard. At one of their football matches, the sound of a gun going off put things into perspective for Jackson, making him realize that a life without Ana in it, wasn’t really living.
Jackson and Ana are biding their time until Jackson can leave the inner circle, and just when they thought they were in the clear, Jackson is pulled in even deeper.
This story has a bit of everything–love, steam, action, and suspense. I am looking forward to finding out what happens next.
After reading the first book in this series I was looking forward to digging into this one. I was definitely left with no regrets. The first thing I loved about this book was that it was written in alternating person. We FINALLY get to see Jackson’s side of the story. I loved reading about the push and pull he initially felt toward where he thought his loyalties lied. I also enjoyed reading about his feelings for Ana. It’s always enjoy reading the “love perspective” from the guy’s side as well.
This book kept me on edge. There was never a moment when I didn’t want to know what was happening next. I have to admit though, I wasn’t expecting the book to end the way it did. I knew it would leave me hanging but definitely not like that. I’m looking forward to reading the next installment and finding out what is in store for Ana and Jackson next.
