I just finished this book, which is the second book of the Checked trilogy.
First off...
How is it, that more people don't know about this series?!? I love these books so much!
Checked Again, picks right up where Callie has just been released from the hospital. She is devastated by the disappearing act Dr. Blake has made while she was sick. She finally finds someone who understands her so completely, someone who she can trust, and he leaves in her moment of crisis.
Callie is working through these issues and starts to backtrack a little bit on her progress she has made in dealing with her OCD.
Life goes on though, and as she is going through the motions of her life, Dr Blake starts creeping back into the picture. First through her family, as a way of checking up on her, and then eventually by texting and showing up at her work.
During her recovery (from the hospital and a broken heart) Professor Gabriel starts to pursue her in a very subtle way that makes Callie so profoundly uncomfortable she begins to feel trapped. Dr Blake to the rescue! Right? This is the struggle through the whole book as she tries to figure out how to deal with her broken heart. Should she trust the only man she has ever fell for, even though he broke her heart?
What I love about this story is the main character, Callie. She is so like-able! Even despite her OCD she is still a confident woman who is not a rolling train-wreck with tons of "emotional" baggage. Yes, she has had more than her fair share of troubles... but she is constantly moving forward and has still managed to create a life for herself.
Dr Blake: Brooding, elusive, and sexy. Ugh- I would do you Dr Blake... yup.
This is a journey of how the perfect match found eachother... and hopefully stay together and beat the odds.
Can't wait for the third book to finally come out.
Recommend to your friends!!!

I was so looking forward to reading this second book in the "Checked" series. The first book left us with a major cliffhanger (which I abhor) but the storyline was fascinating. I'd never had a true appreciation for what it is like to be OCD. And let me tell you...Callie has OCD in the absolute extreme. In the end, the book is good, but not blow my mind awesome.
Maybe the fascination of being in the mind of an OCD person wore off a bit. Truth be told I found it exhausting at times to read this book. What an absolutely horrible way to have to go through life - constantly worrying about everything...and I mean CONSTANTLY...from the possibility of contracting horrible diseases from coming in contact with ANYTHING; to worrying about dying from every imaginable - albeit entirely remote - bad thing happening (murders, burning houses, crashing planes). It was exhausting to be in Callie's head without it being broken up enough with the happy romance stuff.
Quite honestly, I don't understand why this series is broken into three books. It feels like it is being dragged out for no good reason. The first third of this book has little interaction between Callie and Dr. Blake and could have been significantly edited down. The second third of the book really started to pick up momentum but the face to face interaction was still minimal. And in the last third of the book when we finally get to see Callie and Dr. Blake interacting more, Callie has lost her tongue and barely speaks a word out loud to him.
I'm starting to wonder why Dr. Blake likes Callie so much and what the big attraction is. She RARELY says more than a couple of words to him. At least in the first book we had a lot of fun texts going back and forth and there was a lot more dialog. Arrgghh!
Okay. So after getting all of that off my chest, I have to admit that I still couldn't stop turning the pages. And I absolutely have to know what happens with these two. Which means I will be reading the third book - even though it makes me so mad that book two also ended in a cliffhanger. So for that fact alone, the book at least deserves three stars. But for all of the other reasons I list, I can't give it four or five stars.
And if the last book doesn't end in a HEA I'm going to flip out!!!!!
If book three isn't done being written then PLEASE, Ms. Jamelli, I'm begging you to (1) let Callie have a voice and (2) give us a HEA.

Callie is back and just as fun! Her OCD is not getting better though. If anything, the hospital stay and abandonment of Dr. Blake in book 1 has made things worse. Callie is trying to be strong and move on. Things are going ok until she discovers she is being sent to a conference in Florida. This is an almost impossible task, but guess who is ready to step in and help her through it.
I love Callie's character. She knows she has problems (and in fact is heartbroken to see them manifesting in her niece, Abby, as well), but she never gives herself over to her mental illness. She stops herself when she feels it getting out of control. The moments when she is unable to control it, I can feel her anxiety myself - although I do not suffer from OCD. I love her family, how they reach out and are there for her. The humor with which the author approaches OCD does not make light of the problem, but still manages to be funny while acknowledging a serious issue.
I am glad this book addresses the issue of the seriousness of a doctor developing a personal relationship with a patient, something that bothered me a bit in the first book. While it is still an issue, Callie's treatment and whom should be treating her is a huge topic in the book and it seems that this problem can be resolved.
Of course, knowing there is to be a third book, I should have expected the ending....but no. I was just reading happily along, enjoying being part of Callie's world, and then...the end. I was sure there was more left to the book, but when I checked, my Kindle app told me I was at 99% of the book. I can't wait to find out who Callie's story will end!

If you read Checked by Jennifer Jamelli, you have an idea of the chaotic life of a person who must deal with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), as well as how it affects those around them. Jennifer Jamelli is back with more trials and tribulations in the life of Callie. Once again, with Checked Again, Ms. Jamelli adds a good dose of humor, heart and the heartbreak of this disorder as Callie is forced into situations she cannot control, which could send her over the edge, as the comfort of her daily rituals must be disrupted. Add to that the fact that Dr. Blake has resurfaced in her life like a phantom Knight in shining armor, always knowing what she needs to feel calm, almost before she does. But he has his own issues to deal with and using Callie as his personal redemption ticket is not what she needs. Will he betray her again and run as before? Will Callie learn to overcome some of her quirks?
Jennifer Jamelli speaks to us with heart, filling each page with chaotic emotional mental stress that feels lie a washing machine on the agitate or spin cycle. Written as only a person with an up-close connection to OCD can, every ounce of tension and stress come screaming across every word as Ms. Jamelli plays maestro to the discordant symphony she has written. My head spun, my heart accelerated and my insides tightened, sometimes from laughter, sometimes from the stress I’m feeling as I begin to mirror Callie’s innermost feelings. Wonderful reading, powerful and entertaining all at once, this series I and this author should be on your reading radar!

One, Two, Three... Wow, is all I can say about the next book in this series ...
Checked Again, is the follow on book from Checked, which is the story of Calista (Callie) Royce’s life, where everything is done in three’s due to her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Callie, is one of the most likeable characters I have read, and although the illness she has is very serious, she seems to be able to look at herself in a different light, which helps with the frustration and tears that you feel when reading these books.
This book, like the first one is once again told from Callie’s point of view. She is back to counting and checking everything, only this time she is tested, really tested when she’s invited to attend a conference - of course, this involves a trip in a plane and staying in a hotel, both of which is a nightmare and a big no, no for our Callie.
Dr. Aiden Blake makes his appearance again like a knight in shining armour, however, is he enabling her or is there something else there? I love the interaction between these two characters, Aiden is absolutely gorgeous and his heart is definitely in the right place. Of course, when Aiden makes his appearance in her life again, she’s not sure whether to push him away or follow her heart. After all, he did leave her when she needed him the most.
To say I loved this book would be an understatement. I absolutely loved it with a cherry on top. It was really well written, and is everything I want and need in a good book. It kept me thoroughly interested and entertained the entire read, as a matter of fact I couldn't put it down. I love it when a book surprises me and both of these did exactly that.
So, there is going to be a third in this series and I, for one, cannot wait. Congratulations, Jennifer Jamelli on another fantastic, amazingly wonderful book. This is a five star plus read for me.

I loved the first book, which makes me extra sad about the sequel.
Checked Again picks up a week or so after Checked ends and drags on and on. It was well written but I found myself bored and disappointed as she pines for Dr. Blake and doesn't do a dang thing to change. I felt disappointed with pretty much everyone.
In Checked, Callie really wanted to change. She didn't want her niece emulating her; she wanted healthy relationships; and she really hoped to get better. In this book, she doesn't try at all and doesn't even consider the possibility of improving!!! She spends the entire book lying to everyone, even herself, as she takes absolutely no action in her life. Instead she pretends things aren't happening, avoids difficult situations, and barely eats so she won't vomit all over. The only way she makes it through this book is that EVERYONE steps in to help *cough*enable*cough* her.
Dr. Blake is the worst of all by always being there to save the day and stays with her even though their relationship is toxic - Callie is exactly his mom and his way of redeeming himself for failing her and Callie refuses to get help from anyone but Dr. Blake.
Even Callie's family continues to pretend she's fine and only get angry about useless things, like seeing her ex-boyfriend. Obviously they all need to get counseling on how to effectively help Callie.

I loved the first book for it's honesty in showing Callie trying to overcome her OCD. I felt that Jennifer did a great job at showing a severe case of OCD and demonstrating that Callie was much more than her mental health issues.
This book, however, was a let down. Callie makes no effort to change and completely falls back into old habits and counts. Everyone around her continued to enable her by taking away difficult situations and only freaking out about pointless things (Oh no! She met up for a brief lunch with her ex-boyfriend!). Do they know nothing about picking your battles? And the hot love interest, Dr. Blake, is the worst of all! First, he dumps her for reminding him of his mother then he won't leave her alone, eventually deciding that a co-dependent relationship is better than nothing. This is unacceptable behavior from a Psychologist/psychiatrist who knows better!
I won't be reading the last book in the series.

Second book just as fast paced and intriguing as first. Aiden and Callie still have a co-dependent relationship and I really hope this gets resolved in the third book. Purchased and began reading third book so we shall see how it all wraps up!

Checked Again is book 2 in the Checked trilogy. I absolutely loved the first book. Check out my review of Checked at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show.... Checked Again picks up right where Checked left off. Do not attempt to read this without reading the first in the series.
As I mentioned above, Checked Again picks up right when Checked left off. Callie has been discharged from the hospital after her allergy attack from the medication. Her parents have brought her to their house and are keeping a close eye on her. Without Aiden, she’s reverted back to her old ways. She’s counting, going through her routines, etc. Since she isn’t at home, she is going about her routines secretly after her parents have gone to sleep. They want her to eat, but they are going way above her specific caloric intake, so she’s eating almost nothing. Her professors know little about her hospital stay, but they are sympathetic.
When Aiden sends Callie a text to let her know he has her license (from the last of her immersion therapy), Callie doesn’t know how to respond. Aiden being Aiden, he’s already thought of all of the issues that any possibilities would cause her. He’s also keeping an eye on her appointments. Callie returns to school and she’s making progress getting back on track. Aiden shows up at the computer lab when she is working. He not only saves her from sleazy Professor Gabriel, but also brings back her license.
Professor Gabriel presents Callie with a great opportunity. She can attend a conference with him in Florida. This is a requirement for her PhD, but it’s happening earlier for her than most others. Her advisor has even asked her to write an article each day about the seminars. Sounds great, but Callie can’t fly on a plane and she can’t sleep in a hotel room. After hearing this bomb, Callie leaves work in a panic, wearing flip flops and it starts to rain. Aiden picks that time to call her about therapy and Callie is barely holding it together. Her flip flop breaks and her OCD overtakes her. Callie starts getting sick and Aiden comes to the rescue. He carries Callie to his car and into her house to her shower. He directs her and her sister on what to do.
While trying to come up with a plan to get out of the conference, she’s also trying to get out of the follow-up therapy sessions. When Aiden and her family find out about the conference, they are all concerned, but Callie refuses to talk about it and refuses to accept help. When Callie can’t get out of the conference, Aiden saves the day, but as her doctor or something more?
I loved the first and I loved the second. This story is so different and heartwarming. Aiden is pretty darn perfect. He struggles with his history, but he is so perfect to Callie. As for Callie, you can’t stop yourself from becoming emotionally connected to her. Her struggles are so real. OCD is a very real mental illness, but most people can connect to some of her issues. She realizes that her compulsions aren’t rational and it adds an element of humor that you don’t expect. I found myself laughing out loud at point and almost in tears at others. It takes an amazing author and story to pull those emotions from me. I am a book addict, but I’m not easy to win over.
Callie still hasn’t opened up to Aiden about the things she heard in the hospital or the big connection she has with his mother. The end of this book leaves you begging to know what happens. I feel the exact same finishing this book as I did the last. I am dying to read the next book. Please don’t make us wait too long Jennifer Jamelli.

Again, she did it again. I love this book. I love Callie, and although Dr. Aiden Blake doesn't show up for a while, I still loved it. Jennifer Jamelli does a fabulous job of building anticipation and tension and passion between her characters. And if I forget to say in the first book, it is funny. She is so funny at times, and I enjoyed this book as it leads me through Callie's journey. Now don't expect that her journey in the 2nd book is going to get better as far as OCD or much of anything. She's in the trenches for sure, but she does have success and rekindling of some love interest that we all want even if the Dr/Patient thing is a no-no in real life, who cares it's fiction.
The dialog, writing, characters are very relatable and authentic. Enjoyed this book immediately after finishing the first and then rushed to buy the 3rd book and find out what else would be happening with Callie. For those that hated the ending to the last book, will like this one much more.
Oh and I forgot to mention how much I loved the music and I found some songs that I never knew and now love and some that I already loved. My only irritation was that Callie would freeze up and not say a thing for a long time, so there were many pages where she didn't talk but he only spoke, and we just heard her internal dialog. I understand the reasons, but I wanted her to be able to voice her thoughts to him more.

Loved this book
This book was as good as the first. Took me 2 days to read as I just couldn't put it down. I'm now downloading the last in the trilogy. Can't wait to read how it all ends

Lorsque le premier tome de cette très jolie série se termine, il est difficile de ne pas se précipiter sur le second.. d’ailleurs mieux vaut savoir que la série ne se termine pas avec ce tome et qu’il y aura une suite des aventures de Calista et Aiden, ou plutôt celles de la jeune femme et son terrible problème de troubles obsessionnels compulsifs.
Car au cœur de cette romance, il y a cette maladie qui détruit la vie de Calista. Nous avions eu l’occasion de découvrir l’ampleur prise par ses problèmes dans la vie de la jeune femme. Etudiante en littérature, elle multiplie les obsessions qui la privent de beaucoup de choses. Elle doit procéder à de multiples vérifications avant de sortir de chez elle ou de se coucher, a de sérieux problèmes alimentaires, des angoisses autour des microbes et de la contamination qu’elle craint partout.
Ce second tome surprend moins car il reprend tout ce qui fait le charme du premier tome et l’étire peut-être un peu trop. Mais cela reste très bien fait, émouvant et malheureusement très révélateur de cette maladie qui prête parfois à sourire, bien à tort. L’auteure va placer son héroïne dans de nombreuses situations dérangeantes pour elle et elles sont malheureusement innombrables. Mais cette fois, Calista est seule même si elle est très entourée de sa famille car, contrairement au premier tome, où elle a trouvé l’aide miraculeuse, et sans doute beaucoup plus, auprès d’un médecin, Aiden Blake, cette fois, il a pris ses distances. Très concerné par la maladie quia touché sa mère, Aiden a préféré s’éloigner car il ne pouvait supporter de voir Calista ainsi et ne pouvait plus faire la différence entre son rôle de médecin et d’homme amoureux. Calista lutte donc seule, cache plus ou moins à tout le monde l’ampleur des dégâts. En effet, si sa famille est au courant, personne ne mesure le gouffre d’angoisse qu’elle a au fond d’elle et qui s’ouvre plusieurs fois par jour à la moindre sollicitation. C’est ce qui rend ce roman poignant. Calista est prise au piège, ne se plaint pas, compose avec sa maladie, tente d’apprivoiser chaque journée.

I have wanted to return to Callie's world ever since I reviewed Checked. She was in rough shape last time I saw her, and I hoped she would be on her way to recovery in this sequel. As is usually the case, however, things must get worse before they get better.
Her physical maladies improve, but Callie's OCD worsens following acute illness and staggering heartbreak. The author's vivid depiction of this disorder is eye opening in Book 1. Intrusive thoughts (often in the form of song lyrics) cause severe anxiety and trigger repetitive behaviors like cleaning, showering, counting and checking. Callie's condition worsens as she returns to the life she had before the hospital stay and break up.
I have a new appreciation for this disorder and its varied symptoms. After several chapters in her head, I grasped how obsessing about unwanted thoughts is all consuming and exhausting, and how "leaving the house checks" bring a pretense of control, order and peace. The calmness is short lived, however because Callie understands this behavior is irrational, which results in stress.
Living day-to-day gets much more difficult when she is forced to attend a conference in another state, meaning air travel, hotel stays, large crowds... her worst nightmare. Callie's family do all they can to help her, but only Aiden understands and anticipates the scope of support needed to pull off this trip. I enjoyed how the communication between Callie and Aiden graduated from radio silence to meeting in person. Like hiking up a steep grade, the journey was slow, difficult, and frustrating - but worth the effort because of the breathtaking scenes.
I applaud the author for simultaneously educating her audience and entertaining her readers. This is not a series just about living with OCD; it is about Callie and Aiden. Good love stories have surprising obstacles - and this couple must overcome more than most. I am rooting for them, just as I was at the end of Book 1

One, Two, Three... Wow, is all I can say about the next book in this series ...
Checked Again, is the follow on book from Checked, which is the story of Calista (Callie) Royce’s life, where everything is done in three’s due to her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Callie, is one of the most likeable characters I have read, and although the illness she has is very serious, she seems to be able to look at herself in a different light, which helps with the frustration and tears that you feel when reading these books.
This book, like the first one is once again told from Callie’s point of view. She is back to counting and checking everything, only this time she is tested, really tested when she’s invited to attend a conference - of course, this involves a trip in a plane and staying in a hotel, both of which is a nightmare and a big no, no for our Callie.
Dr. Aiden Blake makes his appearance again like a knight in shining armour, however, is he enabling her or is there something else there? I love the interaction between these two characters, Aiden is absolutely gorgeous and his heart is definitely in the right place. Of course, when Aiden makes his appearance in her life again, she’s not sure whether to push him away or follow her heart. After all, he did leave her when she needed him the most.
To say I loved this book would be an understatement. I absolutely loved it with a cherry on top. It was really well written, and is everything I want and need in a good book. It kept me thoroughly interested and entertained the entire read, as a matter of fact I couldn't put it down. I love it when a book surprises me and both of these did exactly that.
So, there is going to be a third in this series and I, for one, cannot wait. Congratulations, Jennifer Jamelli on another fantastic, amazingly wonderful book. This is a five star plus read for me.

Title: Checked Again
Author: Jennifer Jamelli
Rating: 5 Groupie Stars
Reviewer: Ebbie
Checked Again is the second book in the trilogy. It begins where Checked left off. Callie is recovering at her parents’ home and trying to mend her broken heart. She still has a severe case of OCD. Everything seems to be going the same for Callie, and then Dr Aiden Blake comes back into her life. Can she learn to trust him and let him help her?
I loved the first book and this second book is even better. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series! Jennifer Jamelli has written another 5 star book! I fell in love with Aiden and Callie in the first book, what great characters and the supporting characters are great too. I didn’t know that Aiden could be so perfect; he always seems to know what Callie is thinking, how she’ll respond and exactly what to do for her in every situation. I must admit that I’m a little jealous of the relationship that they have; people try for a lifetime to find a love like theirs. I just hope that their love can survive his new treatment plan for Callie. I so want a HEA for Callie and Aiden.
Jennifer is an amazing author and her books bring the characters to life. Checked and Checked Again are two of my top reads so far this year. I am getting hooked on the psychological genre and cannot wait to read the third book in this trilogy. I would recommend this trilogy (yes, I know the third book isn’t out yet but I know it will be amazing too) to everyone who likes to read a realistic love story with real life problems and issues. I am also looking forward to reading her new YA book Drama Unsung, I am defiantly a Jennifer Jamelli groupie!

I didn't like this one as much as I liked the first book in the series, though this one was still entertaining and fun. Like book 1, Checked Again is again narrated by Callie and takes place mostly inside her head. I still very much enjoy Callie's unique voice, and the author's use of stream of consciousness is really well done. I just kind of felt like this novel's plot was kind of a regurgitation of book 1, and I didn't think that enough happened in this one to be memorable. I also didn't see as much character growth, conflict, or tension as I wanted to. This may be the victim of the second book slump, as I typically like the second book in a trilogy the least. To me, this one was just kind of a bridge between books 1 and 3, and I wished that new characters had been introduced, or at least new problems had arisen. For example, I was excited by the re-entry of Callie's old boyfriend early on, and thought maybe there would be increased tension between Callie and Aiden, or even Callie and her family. But really, I was disappointed by Tony's ultimatley small role in which he was cast. Callie and Aiden's problems are still there, and they haven't changed, and I wished they had, just to spice up the plot. I still give Jennifer Jamelli a lot of writing cred here, and I really am looking forward to the third and final book in this series. A little bit on the lower end of three stars, but still quite enjoyable.

Expectations lead to disappointments.
It got to a point I got exhausted just by reading the book. Yes, it's also exhausting for Callie to deal with the things she has to but I think the story in this book could've been cut short. No need for it to become a trilogy.
**Come to think of it, maybe it's because of Callies ONE TWO THREE count?
CHARACTERS
Why are they even together? Does AIDEN love CALLIE because of his longing to fix HER, knowing he wasn't able to do it to HIS own mother? Does CALLIE love AIDEN because she considers HIM 'clean' and understands HER in a way no one else does?
I'm torn here. They're quite a match but.. hmm.. I'll wait for book 3, hopefully it will give light to my thoughts.
STORY
Nothing much going on here. As I've said I didn't see the need for a trilogy. I'm just curious though, it is obvious that Callie is dealing with something serious, yet her parents and siblings aren't that concerned. They are at certain parts of the book but not as concerned as I'd expect, or i'd expect to feel after reading the book.
OVERALL
Had to give this one a 2, hoping it will make book 3 better.
There is so much potential here, I'm looking forward to a film adaptation (not as a trilogy, please).

This book picks up where Checked left off, Callie is conscious and has left the hospital to return home with her parents, but it's like she's a prisoner with her family always checking in on her while she's at home, she's unable to function and everyone wants her to seek more help, without stopping to realise that it was help that landed her in the hospital, as bad as her OCD is she was a functioning individual.
Dr Aidan Blake is still absent from her life making her miserable and even more trapped in her mind, she wants him but doesn't know how to tell him and it frustrates her because she's not able to reach out; but Dr Blake keeps tabs on her, even finding out she's got to go to a conference as part of her studies and helps her from arms length as her own pride and his own demons from watching his mother suffer from extreme OCD which eventually lead to her death keep haunting him.
I am loving this book, I have so much mixed emotion, I can't imagine what it's like to be Callie, but this book is opening my eyes into their world and what it's like for someone like Callie. The characters are wonderful and well defined, at least I can stop thinking that Aidan is crossing professional boundaries now, and want them to push on as more than Dr and patient

Checked Again begins just a few days after Checked ended. Callie is now out of the hospital staying at her parents house until she is fully better again. The only thing is now Callie doesn't have Dr. Blake. She's still really upset over what happened, and then when all of a sudden he starts contacting her again because he and the rest of her family are worried about her she's unsure what to think. She's afraid she will be just too much for him to deal with and he will leave again.
This one was a major surprise for me, and not in a good way. I honestly felt like nothing important really happened in this book other than learning that Callie, and Dr. Blake are keeping things from each other.. Mainly Callie is the one keeping most things from him. I also feel like she doesn't want to really get better in this book like she did in the first one. It kind of felt like Callie lost a lot of what made her Callie in the first one. I did however like the book, and I look forward to the next one, but I was just a little disappointed with this one. There was a major decision made though, that I can't wait to find out how it happens in the next book. I'm really looking forward to it.

STORY:
Callies parents take her back to their home after her hospital stay in book 1.
Callie is back to counting, checking and working her routine all to not think about Dr. Blake.
Professor Gabriel who's into her and always makes her uncomfortable, tries to get Callie in a undoable situation with her social phobias.
MY OPINION:
Callies constraints are unique but are also very frustrating, but the autor goes on with it and shows how difficult life is for people with such problems. You didn't understand why Callie isn't even looking or trying to handle the situation with the journey, but it seems to be her only way possible to handle such a situation by ignoring it. I loved the come back of the communication with the unknown user. You feel the chemistry. I loved the flight scenes.
I wasn't able to go to sleep until i read the whole book. I loved it although Callies phobias were sometimes a bit frustrating. I don't get this song thing - how did she know all the songs especially brand new songs when she here one most of the time? And this End! Aaaahhhhh!
I have to read part 3 very soon!

One.Two.Three. Read This Series Now....
I read Checked as soon as it was release and fell in love with Callie and Dr. Blake and could not wait for this book!!!
Book 2....Checked Again was no different and I gasped at the end, craving more.
This is a great series... You will fall in love again with the OCD tendencies of Callie and the songs that run through her head constantly. But, will the songs bring and end to her renewed treatment/relationship with Dr. Blake or an end to it?
Both of these characters and their relationship are at a constant struggle to overcome obstacles that are in the past and could be possibly be overcome if they are both willing to dedicate to their underlying love and devotion to each other.
I will tell you that the book leaves you with another book hangover cliffhanger, but it is so worth it to see how this relationship will play out in book three.
Great series to get wrapped up in and can't wait to read more!!!

I do not typically write reviews, but considering I've spent the last two days binge reading Checked and Check Again I felt I had to mention how wonderful these books are! My boyfriend has been friends with the author since college, and I'm so glad he downloaded Checked. Romance is not my usual genre selection, but then again this is not your usual romance story. Callie is sweet, funny, and at times heartbreaking as she tries to navigate life with OCD. I have to say this is the first time in a long while where I cared so much about a character. After I finished Checked (this morning) I immediately download and read all of Checked Again. I cannot wait for the final novel of the trilogy! If you are looking for a delightful summer read, I highly suggest both books :)

So I am obsessed with this series. I don't remember the last time I finished a book in ONE day! Because of the craziness that is my work schedule, wife and mommy duties, it typically takes me a little over a week to complete a book. With Checked Again, I was ALL IN (it did help that I was stuck on my train headed home today, though!).
This was an awesome sequel! I adore Callie as a character and can legitimately feel her anxiety as she battles with her OCD day to day. The storyline has me thoroughly absorbed and bursting with "the feels". My emotions have gone all over the place with this one and I devoured every moment. I cannot wait for the release of book three. I just hope Jamelli doesn't make us wait too long!

Callie is back and just as much fun as in the 1st book. And her OCD is not any better. After the hospital stay and abandonment by Dr. Aiden Blake. Callie is back to counting and checking, One, Two, Three. She feels abandoned by Aiden and is just trying to just survive. But of course, life throws her a curve. She is being sent to a conference in Florida. This is an almost impossible task, but guess who is ready to step in and help her through it. They were some sad moments and happy moments in this book. And I love everyone of them. Great job, Jennifer Jamelli on another wonderful, fantastic, amazing book. There is going to be a third book in this series and I cannot wait.

As a fan of romance and erotica, there is something to be said for the love stories that focus on the build up; the hinted sexual tension and heat between the man and woman. Ms. Jamelli tells this type of tale flawlessly. As the reader, I am hoping throughout that Callie and Aiden give it a real shot at having a relationship and moving to that next step. I am feeling just as frustrated with Callie that he won't jump her bones already!! :) 5 +++++ stars!!!! Here is to hoping book 3 is released sooner than later; fingers crossed....
December 17, 2015
More! More wonderful! Again, I do not want to outline the plot; so, I won't do that! I will say that I found this second installment to be more of a revelation about Dr. Aiden Blake. His thoughts and actions are making even more sense now. Poor Aiden! It is no great wonder that he is so driven to help others. I now understand why his feelings for Callie are so complicated. There was more of the slow-building fire of a relationship between these two and I LOVED IT!
I am totally on pins and needles, waiting for Book 3! Hurry, please!

A perfect continuation to Book 1! I can't get enough of these characters! Aiden is so incredible and Callie is so strong.
I love the depth that Jamelli goes into with OCD and how the relationship between Aiden and Callie develops into so much more. How he understands her and wants to help her but also wants her to be comfortable. I love how Callie thinks about him and her inner monologue and the music she hears when he is around.
I JUST LOVE THIS SERIES!!
Another 5+++ stars for the Checked series!

Over too quickly...
I've been waiting for the follow up to Checked, and Checked Again didn't disappoint! The reader continues to feel Callie's pain and frustration, while rooting for her happy ending. I'm just sorry that the wait begins again for the final installment! Hurry, Jennifer!!

OMG! I am going to have a month long emotional hangover from this series. How do is this series not on every best seller list? It is amazing. So real. Raw. Everyone needs to read this! I struggle with things I think I am ocd about, but I thank the gods, I have absolutely zero problems compared to Callie's severe ocd.
December 19, 2014
Holy Moly!! I wish I had known how many books would be in this series before I started. I need a large side order of the next book, like, now! Unfortunately, there is no news of the next book. :( I am loving this series so far. Maybe, in part, because I can identify with some of Callie's quirks. She is such a genuine character and I love the romance with Aiden. It's super cute!
