This is not a standalone, you must read part one first!
After Matt gets a job offer he can’t refuse, but can’t say yes to right away, he needs to talk to Chloe. He has less than a week to make his decision. The pressure is on. Stay in town and see where things lead, or take the job and walk away from what could be?
I loved part two! The characters are real and so well written you could easily see them being your friends IRL. There are so many feels in this book you won't know what hit you. Between the passion, the friendship and the heat, you will be sucked into the book.
Although in The Fine Line, I hated Chloe and wanted to punt kick her across the ocean, I have truly turned a corner with her in this series. She and Matt are so good together, and I can only hope they both pull their heads out and own up to their feelings. Matt, while he reminds me of someone I know, I really love him as a character. He is sweet and hot!
This book does end on a cliffy, so don’t be too shocked when you want to throw your Kindle. I am hoping we get part three soon, or my fingers will be tired from hanging onto the cliff Alicia Kobishop left me on. ~ Devlynn, 4.5 stars

NOW LIVE!!!
"It was only now, with our flesh and spirits united, with him tenderly gazing into my soul, witnessing the vulnerable parts that I had kept hidden for far too long, that I could finally admit to myself that I loved him.
I LOVED him." ~The Fragile Line: Part Two

Really enjoyed this book. I loved seeing how their relationship progressed. But can't wait to read more to find out what happens between Chloe and Matt. Another great read!

See my full review under the box set!
This is the second book in this series. See my full review under the box set! I do highly recommend this book/series, but you should read The Fine Line first. That is a standalone or what this series is a spinoff from. If you read this series first, before the book, you will have spoilers. I'm hoping that there are more written.

Absolutely LOVED this second part of Matt & Chloe's story
Feelings become undone, tensions rise and decisions become harder than ever.
What would happen if you got a chance of a lifetime, one that you know you should take but have second thoughts because of Love? A chance of Love a second time round is rare, and Matt isn't going to make the same mistakes twice...or is he?

Part two was written just as well as part one and kept me reading when I was supposed to be sleeping! Matt is still sweet, kind, and HOT! I started to like Chile more in this book and understand her a bit more. I loved the flashbacks into Matt's past. The ending was sad. I can't wait to see how Alicia finishes this great story in part 3.
February 15, 2017
Wow, I started this book after Part one and I can say I wasn't disappointed.
We finally found out why Chloe is the way she is, how she was heartbroken and everything is a mechanism to stop being hurt more.
We found out more about Matt's history, also got to meet his family.
I can say, I am in love with these characters and I read this so quickly. I need to read Part 3.

5 breaking down walls stars!! If book one was good, book two is wonderful!!!
So this is definitely not a stand alone and you must read Part One first. And in all honesty you should read "The Fine Line" before that if you want the ultimate experience!!
Ok so leaving off with Matt and Chloe. Let me say I still love Matt with all my heart (actually even more then the first book if you can believe it) and Chloe well she still can strike a nerve with me. But seeing Chloe through Matt's eyes makes me want more for her. But with that said I am so mad at the end of the book. Literally as soon as I am done with this review I am jumping to the next book to find out wth is happening!!
Another well written story and more back story. Looks as though the first book was a back story on Logan and Olivia, the next book was back story on Chloe and now this was of Matt. These are my people now and I just want everyone happy is that too damn much to ask?!?!
I love what Matt does with "FML"!! It's so him. I love his pet names. His family...omg...I adore them. And Maya I want to throat punch. This was a beautiful read! A MUST read!!
**I received this book as a review copy via Quirky Blind Date with a Book and in return I am giving my honest review**

If the first book was an emotional roller coaster, this one will put you to the wringer even more. You'll find out that you don't have any power to resist the guy who's determined to give you the most memorable night of your life. You'll find that love is selfless, and it hurts to let go.
February 23, 2017
I just can't get enough. Max and Chloe's story captivated my heart. Talk about a love story built from scratch with so much chemistry!
February 25, 2017
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. Love Chloe and Matt continue story about how far on their way to be happy in love with each other.
February 18, 2017

This installment is Part 2, so it stands to reason that you MUST read Part 1 first, otherwise you'll won't get the full genius of this author. Now that I said what really needed to be said, let's get down to it. Matt and Chloe are enjoying each other quite a bit at this point. However, there's fear that they are going too fast, in the back of her mind. Matt gets an offer for a dream job out of town, and with a week to decide, he knows he has to talk to Chloe about it. That's all folks, now you have to read my emotions and opinions. I've upgrades Alicia Kobishop's writing style to brilliant, as she took Chloe, a girl that I wanted the literally choke, and made me like her, plus wish good things on her now. AND I had to remind myself that she's a character, as she feels 100% real to me, like someone I know. It ends in a cliffy to where I would howling colorful metaphors at the moon, hoping the author heard me, if I didn't have Part 3 already, so just know that this author is qualified for my #EVILWHORE hash tag. I'm super excited about this author, so I'm going to HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE give this series a try!

I was given this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
4 Stars!
First off, thank goodness I have all three books, because if I had to wait for the third with the cliffhanger at the end of this book I'd probably scream. It's taking everything in me not to dive in to that book and first write my review for this one. So here goes.
This book begins right where the first one ended, which I loved. Her and Matt continue to grow closer and they are now looking to define their relationship: friends, or more than friends. In this book, you see glimpses into Matt's past and some things are explained in regards to his current actions and hesitations. Matt has a decision to make and it's down to the wire, and Chloe is stuck trying to do the right thing. But, is it really the right thing?
I enjoyed the look into Matt's past and watching their relationship progress. A.K. Has a way of telling a story that really gets the reader emotionally involved with the characters and that's something that I really like! The end of this novella is heart rendering, and now I'm on to see what happens next.

I absolutely loved this continuation of Matt & Chloe's story! Again we get flawless writing, delicious angst, and scenes where the chemistry is super hot. When these two are together, you can feel their passion - they are perfect for each other.
Ms. Kobishop does a fabulous job at giving the reader all the feels. Her writing and storytelling will put you right inside the story. I need to know what's going on in the characters' heads and feel what they're feeling - and that's exactly what the author gave me.
In this part of the story, we get a little of Matt's past. We find out what broke his heart, we feel his pain, and we get to know this sexy beast a little bit better. *swoon*
We also get to meet Matt's family - I loved them. I always enjoy family scenes where there's humor and love and witty banter. His family is awesome and I could totally picture myself hanging out and having a good time with them.
I adored Matt & Chloe in Part 1, and this story made me love them even more. I'm confident you will love them too. Just make sure and read Part 1 before this one. ;)

I am enjoying this series more and more with each passing book.
Chloe has finally started to realize the errors of her ways and is slowly starting to realize the way she has been living her life isn't the way she wants to continue living it. Matt sees the girl that she can be and the good that's within her, but can she see that goodness in herself?
I couldn't put this one down. Chloe has started to slowly redeem herself in my eyes, and Matt is just an all around great character.
I think my favorite scene was when Matt pulls over to help the person stranded in the road, it wasn't a big emotional scene and I don't really view it as a spoiler because it doesn't give away any plot points, but just showed Matt being Matt, the caring big hearted guy he is that is willing to help anyone in need. Chloe sees this and starts to realize how Matt sees her and she wants to be that girl he sees. Also I love when they played Dare.
Overall I loved this book! I highly recommend it!

The Fragile Line Part Two by Alicia Kobishop gave me exactly what I wanted, more Matt and Chloe.
After reading Part One, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the second book and let me tell you, Alicia did not let me down. Part two absolutely blew me away. It’s filled with so much passion, heart, and pulls the reader in from the very first page. I loved getting more of Chloe and Matt’s story. Their chemistry and pull to each other is a beautiful thing to experience. By the end of the book, I was so heartbroken. I so need Part Three like yesterday.
So if you enjoy a story that’s going to leave you with your mouth hanging open and heart shattered, you need to pick this one up. Although, I highly recommend reading Part One first because Part Two starts where Part One left off.
I give The Fragile Line Part Two by Alicia Kobishop 4 out of 5 MATT’S THE ONE Stars.

I love how Alicia gives us both POV's as well as gives us the history of each character. She starts where she left off i book one and if you have read the first (which you NEED to) one then you will fall right back into the crazy of Chloe and Matt. And again Alicia will give you the feels throughout these books and its so life like that you sometimes wonder while reading if you are part of the story with the characters.
In book 2 Matt gets a job offer that he just cannot pass up. But what if hes willing to say no just to stay close to Chloe. Will she allow him to stay and not take this great opportunity. Or will she finally be that selfless person and let him go? I cannot wait to find out in book 3 :)

I received a copy of this novella through the Quirky Blind Date with a Book in exchange for a fair and honest review.....this is the second in a series of three...and now the relationship between Chloe and Matt starts to hot up....
Once again the author intersperses present day events with the past and slowly but surely I began to see Chloe in a better light...previously I thought she was rather selfish and undeserving.... I loved the humour and banter between Chloe and Matt ....
I thought this instalment in the series was both entertaining and heart wrenching.... and when a once in s lifetime opportunity arrives accompanied by a selfless act ....the inevitable cliffhanger left me excited to know how this epic story would end..

This one picks up where the first one ended. I really can't go into into too much detail, but I was able to slowly like the heroine more in this one.
While in the first book we learn about Chloe's past and the second one we learn more about Matt's past. I really like Matt so I was able to connect with this on a different level then book 1.
I liked the progression of their relationship and how there was a little drama/choices to make in this book. Overall, I can't go into too much detail for obvious reasons. I will say that I like this one better than the first book and I look forward to reading the 3rd book and seeing the climax of these characters story. 4 FML stars #2OCCJD

This is the second book in this amazing series, and continues straights on from where part one ended. This cannot be read as a standalone. Matt and Chloe have the perfect passionate relationship in this book, and have a steamy chemistry between them. When Matt is offered his dream job, and has a week to decide whether to take it or not, he needs to discuss this with Chloe. Will this be the end of their relationship? I cannot wait to read the third and final part of this fantastic series.
Hats off to this author, as these books are getting better and better with each one.

Things seem to be going great for Matt and Chloe, she's met his family, things are going good but Chloe is holding back a little cause everytime she gives herself somthing happens and she can tell Matt is holding somthing back. Matt has been given an opportunity of a lifetime and he wants to take it and take the next step with Chloe but he's afraid she won't follow and he isn't sure he can leave her. OMG I love these two. Looking to see what's in store next.

The Fragile Lines is a Three part series. This is the first book/ series I have read by Alicia. I was pulled in from the beginning. Alicia gives you a little bit of everything in this series emotional wise.
The Fraglie Line Part Two-
Chloe has trust issues because of her past. Matt has a chance to become something more. Chloe doesn't want to stop Matt from his dreams so she lets him go but at what cost. Will this be the end of Chloe and Matt?
