This is a continuation of Abby and Jacob’s story after the first book ended on a cliffhanger. It is so emotional. There's more drama, secrets, lies, and betrayal that's making it even more complicated for them. So much got unraveled, the questions we're hoping the answers to finally got answered. However, a warning here because it ends with another cliffhanger.

Everything We Left Unsaid is the 2nd book in this series while it could be read as a stand alone, it definately helps to know all of the I formation from book 1.
I was so happy to see that we got to follow up with Abby and Jacob and see how more of their story plays out.
As a warning this second book also leaves you with a cliffhanger as well.
I would definately recommend this series and the loveable characters.

Page Turner! I could not put this book down. I read it in one sitting and thoroughly ensconced myself with the characters. The twist at the beginning will have you diving deeper into the story as the pages turn. Definitely loved this book. I will investigate other books by this author. What a great story!

I didn't realize this was part if a series when I started. I jumped in without too much trouble. I'd like to go back and ready the beginning of their story though. One problem I had was that there was soooo much sex! I love me a good steamy romance, but this one it seemed to overtake the story.

Series: Book 2 of The Wild Hearts Series
Genre: Romance, New Adult, Contemporary Romance


Well, it didn't get worse than the first one. Although there is more plot, I feel we still have somewhat the same issues with the sub-characters and in this case I found no real sense of resolution.

After their tormented love affair during the summer, Abby and Jacob try to form a long distance relationship only to find out that Abby is pregnant. Trying to tell Jacob she is received with silence, not knowing that Jacob is in Africa. However, she receives a letter signed by Jacob with money and a petition to give away the baby she is carrying. Dumbfounded Abby sets to hate Jacob for the rest of her life. However, she never expects him to come to her door and whisk her away as if nothing had happened, as it wasn't him who sent her the letter.

I love dramas like these, the "I didn't tell you I was pregnant", the finding out about the baby years later. They usually gut me and fill me with joy and sorrow. However, Everything Left Unsaid had a few holes that didn't allow me to completely relish in the drama and in the plot.

The first hole that it exists is the extreme romance. Even for a romance book, I found it being too much. Even though it tones down a little bit compared to the first book, I still found it too unreal. No love is as perfect and although they do go through their ups and downs it's like they're not real people.

The second issue is again the sub-characters. They're barely there. We don't get to see Luke again (WHY was he even present in the first book?) They add a little more action in regards to both Jacob's parents and Abby's grandma and those parts I really enjoyed. However, this makes up 30% of the book. While the rest is sex scenes (a lot of them, maybe even too many) and them falling in love again with each other.

I am not disappointed, as after reading the first book I knew the author's writing style. I didn't love the story but it was enjoyable and there was an itch in me that really wanted to finish the book. I was though a little disappointed in the ending. I felt, no pun intended, that there were a lot of things left unsaid.

Everything We Left Unsaid by Ashley Cade is book Two in the Wild Hearts Series. This continues the story of Abby and Jacob, so you really should read the previous book 'Something That Could Last' first before starting this one. This is their second chance at love when something that pulled them apart is no longer there once they clear the air. Enjoyed their story.

I didn't know this book was a sequel. I honestly feel I would have cared more about the relationship and their reconnection if I had the back story. I honestly skimmed the last half of the book. I wasn't surprised by who sent the letter, I was more surprised it took Jacob and Abby so long to realise it.

If you thought Something That Could Last was heart wrenching, then consider yourself warned. Ashley Cade gutted me all over again.

There's really no easy way to prepare yourself for the second story in the Wild Hearts series. Everything We Left Unsaid hit me right in the stomach with the very first chapter. Jacob comes back to town again and never did he expect to find out what Abby's been hiding. Never! Talk about being shocked! One thing I liked about this author's style of writing in the first story is her precise wording and detail. She doesn't miss a beat and you get the full effect of what she's trying to convey to the reader. And in book two, Cade doesn't hold back either. As Jacob and Abby dealt with heartache and the pain of trying to salvage what they once had, I couldn't help but fall in love with these characters all over again. From where they started out, until now.

Heartbreak isn't easy to write about and I literally felt my heart beating rapidly so many times throughout this story. Ashley Cade is a beautiful storyteller, plain and simple. She's got that ability to take her readers on a journey, regardless how painful that journey might be, and mend the wounds along the way.

I might have even cried a little when I discovered there's going to be more to this series. If you enjoy second chance stories were love is young and tender, then this is one you don't want to miss! Five beautiful stars!! What a story, Ashley!

Everything We Left Unsaid is book two in the Wild Hearts series. You should read book one (Something That Could Last) first. I loved Jacob and Abby's story in the first one but I was surprised by the ending. This so picks up a bit after the last one. Jacob comes back to town and seeks Abby out. Things have changed for Abby and she's not excited to see him. Jacob is a little lost at first and both have confusion about what happened after he left the first time. Sometimes things were frustrating between them but their connection was still there. This one is a heart-string puller. I was hoping they would get everything together in this one but then the ending surprised me again. I am so hoping that there is a book three is the works.

This is the continuation of Jacob and Abby’s story after book one, ‘Something That Could Last’, ended on a cliffhanger! The story picks up a couple of years later where we see Jacob travelling home, deciding to stop over in Abby’s hometown, not expecting the reception he gets!

There are some explosive moments throughout the book where we discover exactly what happened to cause the distance between Abby and Jacob. There’s a lot of angst between the characters, naturally due to the situation their in. Both characters feel wronged, yet neither know who to really blame.

In this book we get to see Abby and Jacob start to become a true family however things hit the rocks near the end of the book and the story looks set to continue in a third novel!

This book has lots of steamy romance scenes, a love story and family is a real focus! If you haven’t yet started this series check it out!

I was anticipating this book for a while because I was dying to know what was going to happen, because Jacob and Abby needed there HEA.
My feelings were all over the place with this book, this author has a nak for pulling your heart strings. If you have been following my reviews for a while you will know that I love love love books that are like that.
The connection that’s between these two didn’t falter at all over the years it just became more and more. I think that I may have to add Jacob to my Book Boyfriend list.
That ending though?!? I’m happy to know that there is going to be another book. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen.

I love me some Second Chance Romance. Cade did a great job a bit on the predictable side but still a great job. With all the books out there it's going to be hard to be original every single time. I don't want to give away a lot of details but just know it''s worth the read. From the beginning, you will be asking if Abby and Jacob can mend past mistakes. Great question. Now go read and find out for yourself.

An ok second-chance romance that is endearing but predictable.
So, I didn't read the first book in this series, which I assume is about the start of Abby and Jacob's relationship, and that's totally on me.

Although I didn't need the first book to understand the context of Everything We Left Unsaid, I'm wondering if I would be more invested in their relationship if I had. And I'm guessing the answer to that is yes because although this was a fine book, I just wasn't feeling that insane connection between the two.

The book starts with Jacob visiting Abby after a long period away. He misses her so much and is expecting somewhat of an emotional reunion. Instead, she slaps him in the face and runs off with what looks like a mini-Jacob. He's shocked and wants to understand why she would keep a child from him after everything they went through.

Abby and Jacob try to mend past mistakes and trust each other after they realize that someone lied to both of them, trying to keep them apart. There was nothing wrong with the story, but it was easy enough to understand who was behind the false messages and letters. The miscommunication between the mc's was also a bit annoying at times.

Other than that this was a perfectly adequate second-chance romance.

I didn’t realise this was a second part when I requested this, so I was a bit lost having not read the first but that was my fault. I enjoyed this despite my confusion, it was a lovely second chance romance and I’m off to read the first so I can do a reread of this and enjoy it without my self induced confusion. Lovely characters, great romance and well written.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

This is the conclusion to Abby and Jacob’s story. It is a nice second chance romance. It is a little slow moving, but a cute story. I liked it because it was a couple who really loves each other. There is no ridiculous drama and infighting. The story flows well and is easy to read.
