OMFG!!! Are you ready for a friggin' EMOTIONAL ROLLER-COASTER?! If you have NOT read Breaking Kate (The Acceptance Series #1), you can read this review for it will not contain ANY spoilers AT ALL...but then you need to scroll to the bottom...find the review for book 1...read it...then PURCHASE IT!!!! 
"Kate has been through more than her share of tragedies in her life. After suffering the loss of her mother, daughter, and the love of her life, she’s finally found the strength to open herself up to love again. For once, everything is finally as it should be. Kate should’ve known that things were too good to be true; her life doesn’t work that smoothly. 
It’s been four years since Michael left Kate, but he’s back now, and determined to win Kate’s heart once again. After discovering that Daniel and Michael are best friends, the situation spirals out of control quickly. Instead of dealing with her broken heart, Kate ignores it. When Kate’s actions drive her to do the unthinkable, she knows she’s crossed the line. Unfortunately, she doesn’t realize it until it’s too little, too late. Her actions have consequences and now she’s trying to fix the unfixable. Can the men in Kate’s life grant her the forgiveness she can’t even find within herself?"
After the blowout at Jake and Aprils wedding, Kate finds herself torn between two men that she absolutely loves, Daniel, whom shes known for about a month, and Mike whom she has a long history with. Kate is determined to enjoy life, and to find herself. When a person from their past shows up with a surprise of her own, Kate is forced to put all romantic feelings aside, and be there for them.  But what this person is bringing, is huge, and no matter what happens, each scenario is going to kill Kate. 

Things have been spiraling down, and its only a matter of time before Kate snaps.. All she can do now is "OWN it, ACCEPT it, EMBRACE it, and MOVE ON." But when alcohol is brought into the mix, the truth about many things are going to be unleashed, good and bad. And when Kate gets drunk on several instances, she lashes out...spilling her emotions out for everyone to see and making choices that will have serious consequences.

I love that Kate and Mike are able to bond over their deceased daughter, and through this, they start to rebuild a friendship. Yes, I'm still #TeamDaniel, FOREVER, but the raw emotions and intense sexual tension makes me feel really bad for Mike. There is NO doubt that Kate loves both men, and that they both love her.
"Trust me, Kate, the best things in life come from the worst kinds of pain."
I was very worried that the entire book was going to be a pissing match between Mike and Daniel, but I was pleased that both Mike and Daniel are able to put their feelings aside, and lean on their friendship for support, and even though they both love Kate, they want what is best for her.

I just loved Kate, her character has come so far, and shes grown so much.  Shes level headed and puts everyone elses feelings before hers.  But she is also hilarious.
"We do have spank banks! It's a pretty gender neutral thing. Would it make you feel better if I call it 'rub club'? How about 'my finger vault' pr even better, how do you like the sound of 'clam dam'?
Unfortunately, we don't hear it from Kate as to whom she is going to choose, but I feel comfortable enough to assume whom she has chosen. But by the time Kate and everyone has realized who her heart truly desires...its too late. We are left with a HUGE cliffhanger...and I don't think my anxiety can take it. I'm only 30 minutes post Releasing Kate, and I'm a mess... I need to know how this ends. Will the guy her heart truly desires be willing to forgive her for the actions she choose? Or is it to late to re-kindle their love?


Oh man... D Kelly has done it...my heart has broken into pieces. I laughed, I ugly cried, and sometimes I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. OMG. OMFG.... HOW AM I GOING TO MAKE IT TO MARCH 2015!?

Releasing Kate is NOT a standalone. You MUST read the previous book in order to understand and feel. Book 1 will tell you everything you need to know, and Book 1.5 will give another POV that is not needed, but feels in so many gaps.
