A secret pact. A reluctant hero. A twist of fate.

Between concerts and wedding plans, Dylan almost missed the glitch in the soul connection he shares with Heaven. Yet the truth can’t be denied for long. Something is interfering with his ability to sense her emotions, causing their empathic link to fluctuate. But when a mysterious package arrives, Dylan's worst fears become reality. Someone seeks to erase Heaven from his life.

Layne is hell-bent on mending his friendship with Heaven—even if that means denying the painful truth of his heart. The more time he spends in her presence, the stronger his desire for her becomes. When Dylan enlists his help in protecting Heaven from a looming threat, Layne is torn between his duty to his friend and his passion for a woman he can never have.

Heaven’s abilities are evolving. She can sense the energy of other beings, and what she feels within Layne ignites a connection that burns soul-deep. But matters of the heart will have to wait. Someone is making threats on her life, threatening to expose dark family secrets that will alter the course of destiny. Can Dylan and Layne help Heaven find her mysterious stalker in time to stop their malicious plan? Or will the blade of their hidden truths slice the trio apart?

What the Heart Needs is the second installment in the Soulmate Series. If you like alluring romances with suspense, soulmates, and supernatural twists, you’ll love Kelli McCracken’s compelling take on love, fate, and destiny.

**This is a new edition of What the Heart Needs**

This is book 2 in the series and it does not disappoint. I'm so happy this was already out when I finished book 1.

We get to dive deeper into Heaven and Dylan's lives in this book and we get to know another character much better, Layne. Yeah, I'm completely in love with him, but we'll get back to that.

Dylan and Heaven have their love tested in this book. They learn a lot more about their story, where they come from, what they can do, etc. They also know there are people out there interested in destroying them and keeping them apart. Yup, want to punch Dylan's dad. And punch is being kind. Luckily Dylan's mom is supportive of them and knows just how to handle his father.

As the story goes on their love only grows deeper as well as their connection. Although Dylan isn't the only one that feels a connection toward Heaven, enter Layne. Well, he's been there the whole time but we learn a lot more about him and how he feels. I must say I'm in total love with him. That's right, he's mine. I call dibs.

Kelli takes you for a great ride with this book. You get to read multiple viewpoints and it enhances the story. You really feel the love between Heaven and Dylan and find yourself pulling for their relationship to succeed throughout the book.

"No one could have what we have. It's impossible. I don't think anyone could love another person the way I love you."

Thank you for writing a great continuation to their story. And thank you for Layne! I can't wait to read what book 3 holds and will definitely be recommending this series to anyone who loves paranormal romance.

The best way I can describe this book is to compare it to a roller coaster....it starts off slow (click, click, click) building anticipation giving you just enough to keep you wanting more, turning each page (click, click click)...and just when you think you've figured it out (click, click, click), you've reached the top and the bottom falls out from under you and you're free falling into what you had no idea was headed your way. Then it starts all over again (click, click, click) building you up to another apex, only to have your stomach drop down again (WEEEEEEEEE!!!!). Now, I myself am not a fan of real roller coasters, but what I can tell you is that I will get on the Kelli McCracken roller coaster EVERY freakin' time!!!!

So much happens in this book you can't really prepare yourself for everything. You have to give into the story, let it lead you on the journey...in the end, you will not regret it.

The build up of what might come had me unable to put my kindle down. I took it in with me to blow dry my hair, I took it to my step-daughter's soccer game and read during warm ups and half time, I literally could not stop reading because I had to know what was going to happen. Was Nate McBride going to hurt Heaven? Would Layne break them up? Would Faith break them up? What was going on with Faith anyway? Would Dylan & Heaven make it to the alter...those were the just questions I started with and my list kept on growing as the reading continued. Let's just say, the things I said out loud (yup, I talk out loud while I read) were "Oh My God," "He did not just do that!" "She did not just do that" "You have GOT to be kidding me!" "I freakin' knew it!!!" and "AHHHHH!!!!!"

"I know Dylan is special, he replied" - well guess what, I knew it too. I truly can't get enough of Dylan McBride...I mean he's a romantic rock star that goes against the stereotypes and wants to love Heaven forever...what's not to love!?! But this time (unlike the first book), I fell a little in love with Layne too. I can understand now why there are many Team Layne girls, a team which I think even Heaven would find herself cheering on because after book two, how could you not love Layne?

This book was sexy, dangerous and consuming. It was frustrating, exciting and lovable. Where the first book was a love story that hinted at a supernatural connection, this book brought in a lot more of the who and what of the paranormal part of the story. I loved that it gave us some answers and still teased us with what could come. It left me wanting more, and that is never a bad thing to end a book with.

I can't even imagine what Kelli has in store for us next, but what I can tell you is that I will definitely be getting on the ride!

"The more we give in to what the heart wants, the more we get what the heart needs..." truer words were never spoken (or written as it were), you can't love with your head, you have to love with your heart...no matter where it leads you.

I'm not going to lie, I had to wait a long time for this book to come out. It was so worth it. This book explained a whole lot more. Heaven and Dylan know that they are soul mates, meant to be together. However, there are other things at play. The reader learns about a secret society for the paranormal. Layne finds out a few things good and bad. He has become one of my favorite characters. There is some action packed scenes that make the story a page turner. If you read What the Heart Wants then this is a no brainer. Pick this one up. It is a great sequeal and will answer a lot of questions but then again it leaves you with a few also. Can't wait for book 3.

Kelli does it again with book 2 of the Soulmate series! She's outdone herself with this one, packed full of intensity and heartwarming moments.

Heaven and Dylan's journey gets a real workout in What the Heart Needs. The entire book had me on the edge of my seat, desperately trying to put it down to take a breather, but utterly incapable of doing so. Every time I thought I knew what was coming, another bomb would go off and smack me in the face. I just couldn't get enough! Kelli does a brilliant job bringing this book to a close, pulling the reader down from the adrenaline high that's provoked throughout the rest of the book. Sizzling romance, realistic struggles, wonderful story. I can't wait for the next one!

Dylan is shrouded in mystery and secrets, unfortunately the secrets that surround him are from the ones he loves and depends on the most. Can his and Heaven's love survive and what does Layne have to do with it?

Kelli has once again made me crave more. I didn't want this book to end. I am craving more of Dylan, Layne and Heaven. We learn more about them and their destiny. It affects more than just the two of them.

Kelli is an amazing Author and every book amazes me more. There is a reason she is at the top of my favorite author list. This definitely a must read. The characters, supporting characters and story are incredible. This book deserves high praise and more than five stars!!!

This book had so many secrets that i wasn't sure how this book was going to go. Dylan and Heaven are engaged to be married but Dylan's father is not pleased with their relationship. Their is a secret that Layne is keeping from his best friend Dylan and i'm glad that in this book, you find out more about Layne and how he is involved in the storyline. Heaven is having trouble controlling her abilities and her life is being threatened by someone. There was so much to this book from the start and i was gripped. I have loved this series so far and i'm looking forward to Book 3, What The Heart Takes in 2014. Heaven and Dylan are so easy to love as characters and Layne was also a great character to adore. Definitely a recommended read.
