One of my FAVORITE series long awaited third book is coming out December 2013! I absolutely adore Kelli McCracken's Soulmate Series! Yes it's PARANORMAL romance which I don't read too much of BUT this series is a MUST read! Yes we have some "hot" rock star's but there is also angst, laughs, a few tears and suspense! I can not WAIT for What the Heart Takes to be released! The cover is AWESOME (if you've read the first two books in the series, What the Heart Wants & What the Heart Needs, then you will understand this cover.
 

If you've been with me for awhile then you may recall that earlier this year I hosted a Rock Star Romance Week where I featured a different author for 5 days. Well, Kelli was one of those authors and you can reference my archived posts to "refresh" yourself but now it's time to learn more about What the Heart Takes.
 
 
~ Synopsis ~
 
Compelled by fate, will he sacrifice everything to save her?
Dylan McBride has never liked hidingfrom his fans, the press, or his father. He’s left with no other choice after his father threatens Heaven’s life. Protecting his wife and unborn child is the only thing that matters. He’d do anything to save them. Even tolerate a connection she shares with her Keeper, the man sworn to save her life. The man he used to call his friend.
Layne’s struggling with his pyrokinetic abilities, as well as accepting his role as Heaven’s Keeper. As if kissing her didn’t make things awkward enough, he learns that their connection is more complicated than he ever imagined. So complicated, it affects not only his mind, but also his soul.
Though he’s taken to his Keeper duties, Heaven senses a battle between Layne’s heart and soul. A battle that’s preventing him from accessing his abilities. There’s only one sure way to help him. Their friendship must deepen. But nothing’s ever easy, and she soon discovers there’s a thin line between love, hate, and What the Heart Takes.

Teaser Time ~ Here's a little tease of What the Heart Takes ~

"I’m sorry," he sighed, leaning his head against hers. "I don’t want to feel like this. I sure as hell don’t like you feeling this with me, but I—"

"Don’t," she whispered, pressing her finger to his lips. "Don’t ever apologize for loving me or for any other emotion that stems from that. I would feel the same as you, if the roles were reversed."

"No you wouldn’t, because you’re pure of heart. You love unconditionally. I’m just a jealous jerk."

"You’re not a jealous jerk. You’re just a man, trying to protect what he loves." He tried to look away, but she pressed her hands to his face, holding it in place. "Nothing will ever change the way I feel about you. Even if Layne was head-over-heels for me, he isn’t you. My connection with him is fueling his emotions. He’ll work through them."

His eyes wavered with emotion, as did their bond. "I know you love me. I’ve never questioned that, except for Aruba, and that was because of my stubbornness. I’ve come close to losing you twice because of it. I don’t want it to happen again."

"I’m not going anywhere." She grabbed his hand, placing it against her stomach. "We’re bound, Dylan. In heart, in soul, in every breath we take. I will always be yours."

His lips pressed together as he feigned a smile. "Deep down, I know you’re right. I shouldn’t let it bother me, but I can’t help it. Before you came into my life, he was my closest friend. We’ve been through a lot."

"And I complicated that." Her eyes fell to the floor, but only for a moment. His fingers slid under her chin as he nudged it upward.

"No, you completed me. You gave me the one thing I’ve searched for my entire life…you."

~ About the Author ~
 


 
When Kelli McCracken’s not writing, she’s usually looking for duct tape for her inner critic’s mouth. Or begging her characters to let her sleep. When procrastination strikes, you can find her rocking out with an air guitar or hanging out on Facebook.

"Forrest Gump's momma said it best. Life is like a box of chocolates. Mine is full of nuts. My motto: Sanity is optional, but not a requirement. My characters love waking me up in the middle of the night for long talks. They have no sense of time."
