Synopsis:
My life is nothing but rules. Rules for how I act. How I dress. Who I date. Who my friends are. I hate the rules and yet I keep following them. Until I met Jade. Being with her is forbidden. She’s not one of us. She’s not allowed in my world. But I don’t care. She’s different and I like her and I want her. And the fact that she wants nothing to do with me makes me want her even more.
But my father won’t allow it. Neither will the people around me. Being with Jade means making deals, blackmail, bribes – whatever it takes to keep my relationship with her a secret.
Jade has no idea what my life is like. She doesn’t know the rules. She doesn’t know about my family and what they’re involved in. And although I can’t tell her all my secrets, there’s one rule she must know: Never ask questions. It’s a rule that I live by. Because in my world, knowing the answers can get you killed.

Review
So I finished the first book pretty late and tried to sleep afterwards. Except that was pretty much impossible, and I ended up having to grab this one and get little to no sleep.
This is everything that happened in Choosing You, but from Garret's point of view. If you've read the first book, then you already know he's pretty freaking awesome. Getting to see the story told from his perspective really just helped me love him more than I already did.
The biggest issue is that there is a lot of repetitious story line. Sometimes it felt like she just copied and pasted paragraphs from Jade's point of view but changed the name to Garret. Although there are some new scenes, and those were definitely worth the read.
I think it would be pretty awesome to read more of the storyline this way though.
