If you have been wondering what was going on with Rachel after reading "Written on Her Heart", "While it Lasts" has the answers you are looking for! While she may appear to be rather shallow, looks are deceiving. "While it Lasts" delves into her true character. We also get to learn what Carma has been up to.
This is a wonderfully romantic novel that incorporates mystery and deceit into the storyline as well. It is an easy read and will captivate you as well as keep you guessing as to what is to come. Looking forward to reading the next installment of "Callaway Cove".

This was a wonderful sequel to Written On Her Heart. Paige Rion knows how to do it! And by do it, I mean she knows how to write. She is great with characters, plot, scene, love. I really enjoy reading the words Paige puts on the page.
This book left me liking Rachel. In the first Callaway Cove book, I hated Rachel. I thought she was a snobby bitch. In this book, I really liked her. I understood why she did what she did in the first book. I liked getting to know her and going through the familial problems with her. When her and Andi first talk in the book, my heart felt for Rachel, which was such a weird feeling. Because in the first book I was screaming 'Rachel, you're a bitch! How could you do that to your friend?!' But when in Rachel's head, I felt for her. Way to go, Paige for making that accomplishment!
Rex, or should I say Colton. Mmm, he's dreamy. He has this confidence about himself that is just so yummy. When he takes Rachel to a wine tasting he has this whole elaborate talk about how it is up to Rachel on how many tasting trays there should be. If she chose one that means that there was a probable kiss at the end of the date. If she chose two then she probably doesn't kiss on the first date. And the whole time I'm just thinking to myself, 'Smooth move.' I loved it.
"And now that I've laid out these assessments, if she chooses to share, I must only assume that I am definitely being rewarded with a kiss at the end of the night. So..." he said, turning his attention back to Rachel. "Which is it?"
I think that Paige did an amazing job on this second installment. And it was so cool getting the perspective of Rachel and learning to love Rachel. If you've read the first one, this second one is a must read. If you haven't read the first one, do it! And then read this one! It's a sweet contemporary romance. And I am awaiting the third book!

I was lucky enough to read the first book in this series as well. I could not wait to read this new installment. Rachel is thrown into a mess because of her mom's gambling debts. She does not deserve to be lied to, or treated the way she is. Callaway Cove is the type of place where every one knows your problems. When "Rex" comes into town Rachel thinks that finally luck is on her side. She has a plan, and she does not care whose heart she hurts. Especially not the FBI agent's, her own or the FBI agent's daughter's. It is so much more complicated when a child is involved. Colton and Rachel soon discover that as they schemed against each other they were not listening to their hearts. I liked the ending and I was glad that it ended the way it did. I really like this series and I can not wait to read the next book! I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.

While It Lasts is the follow up to Written On Her Heart. Rachel was interduced in Written On Her Heart she was not very well liked in the first one. She was a snob in a big way didn't care for her in the first book. In the second book Rachel overcomes her snobbish ways and warms into your heart. While It Lasts is about Rachel and how she deals with her mom's gambling debts. Rex is hot and sexy all in one package. He takes Rachel to a wine tasting for a date.
Overall I liked how the book ended it was good. I am glad that I got two read both books and enjoyed Paige's characters and their world.

Ugggh I really wanted to like this book... But fell short. I really enjoyed the concept but the execution was lacking. Rachel was a major pain; she was extremely self-centered and barely grew as a character (even though her and the other characters believed that she really changed).
