Sheldon, Bryce and Corrigan.....
Are FALLING apart......
Lies upon lies are being told by all three of them!!! Me likey!!!!!!!!
That's because I LOVE DRAMA!!!
Bryce is back from Europe to play soccer in the US, he came back for Sheldon or so he says. If he did then why did a supermodel follow him back!! Bastard!!! I wanted to claw his lying eyes out!!! I, of course, still love him though even he is a cheating bastard!
I'm pissed at Bryce right NOW!!! I thought he would always stick by Sheldon!
I guess time will tell.....he better get him self together!!
Sheldon has grown up some she's more open with her feelings this time around but she's still a mouthy feisty fireball! I love her!! All of Sheldon's friends are guys because most girls can't tolerate her abrupt honesty but in this book she becomes friends with two girls I think may stick by her.
Then there's Corrigan he stayed with Sheldon through everything!! He was her ROCK he has always been there for her and he still is but does she want him that way?
Are Bryce and Corrigan plotting behind her back!!! *YES* Damn them!!! I don't want her to choose I want this to be a big triangulating triangle!!!
OMG this book was sooooooo good!!!!
Oooooohhhhhhhh but wait a minute lets not forget about the handsome movie star neighbor of Sheldon's he back in this book and sets his place and his agenda in stone!!!! I'm starting to like that guy ALOT more!!
SOME of the truth comes out in this book more feelings are revealed good and bad. In my humble opinion this book was WAY better than the first...I couldn't put it down!!
There's also a new stalker......hummmmmmm wonder who it is?
The ending.....the ending.....dammit I was blinking in disbelief because I couldn't believe it!!!!! NO book should end like that!!!! The mother of all cliffs......I was pissed I wanted to throw my iPad!!!!!!
Yes that's how I felt in the end:(

“If people treat you like shit, you treat them like shit right back. They won't like it, but they'll respect it. It's a lonely road." Although, truth be told, I enjoyed being alone. Life was much clearer.�
Don't get me wrong, this book does have its potential, however it would had have to changed, specially for me. It sucks when a book/or/and series has so much potential to be so damn good, but something is missing, and you know what would have needed to change. I wish I could just change it for her. To the problem...
“I'm sure your body can handle it. Bodies have a way of dealing with things. It's like magic sometimes. That's what I love about human anatomy.�
The problem for me is that I feel like I'm a person watching from the outside-in, however what I see is a damn wall. Sheldon has not only the walls up for her friends and boyfriend, but for herself as well. And that, people, makes it really hard to connect and to be sympathetic with her. I have problems with feeling for her. I understand why she is how she is in a way, but I feel like we're missing a lot. She cold-hearted, closed off, and acts like a complete robot.
"I'm coming after you, Sheldon. I backed off because I saw you loved him, but if he's not treating you right then nothing's going to keep me away. I'm coming after you."
Yes, she is a little more... open now with herself and others, but it's still so damn little. Her parents are fucked up, and left her for herself, but still that doesn't make a person that much fucked up?! I don't understand why she goes around being a robot? I need Sheldon do open up to herself so we, the readers can actually get to know Sheldon on a personal level. She has developed, but not much. Not much at all.
I looked in the mirror. A stranger stared back at me. I no longer recognized her: thin frame, skinny arms, huge eyes, huge mouth, and something in her that no longer made sense. It was like I was looking at myself from out of my body. I felt weird and, yet, comforted at the same time.
Now to the boys... I loved, or at least liked Bryce very much in first book, but in Still Jaded I lost complete respect for him, which sucked because he was a bit possessive and alpha male. I didn't get his deal in this book, but it all got out in the end, but now I feel like everything is broken :/ Denton was, shockingly, freshly. He was funny, cute and supportive and I liked that. Though I don't see him as dating material for Sheldon, but he'd be a great friend. Corrigan was better in this book. I liked his fun side, but I love his serious, strong, hard and tough side a hell of a lot more! I can see him as a possessive, protective and alpha male.. And if you know me, you know how I like my type ;))
"When you do break and get angry, and I know you will, please don't do anything that'll get you killed or put in prison? I lost one best friend yesterday. I can't lose my other one." - Corrigan
To be frankly honest, I'm kinda hoping Sheldon ends up with both Corrigan and Bryce, and I know that is so wrong, but I cannot choose, and I don't want their friendship/relationship to be over. And it will be over with one of them if she choose one of them. They can have a Polyamory relationship. It would be great. They are already a family, so why not share Sheldon? :P Nah, it won't happen. Of that I'm sure. Though I have no idea who I want her to end up with.. Bryce kinda broke our hearts with the way he acted...
"Well, it's out now. They'll figure it out."
"And I'm the quintessential bitch, like always."
"You're just you, Sheldon. Get over it and get home. I've missed you."
The story, again, doesn't make any sense. Nothing really happened. A new stalker is after Sheldon. Someone wants to hurt her badly or kill her. Sheldon is a better person (some), but still cold and in control without doing anything other than being herself. I admire her for that, but I find people who are cold and refuses to lift her walls for her closest friends, not even for herself, weak. I cannot help but to get pissed at Sheldon when she pushes things, thoughts, people like Corrigan away instead of letting them in. It's okay to be strong, but it's also okay to break down sometimes as well...
"And I'm being loyal to Grace by going after the guy that used her for sex. That's one of my rules."
I couldn't look away from the two guys in my life. They'd been my family for so long, my only family, and now I was going against them. A part of my heart fell to the bottom of my stomach.
The ending of course ended in a cliffhanger, and you have to read next book because everything has builded up to that, and that sucks. I hate cliffhangers, specially in a series I don't particularly love. I have considered to quit it and shelf it as 'dnf', but I have giving up, so I'm sticking to this series and I'm gonna finished it. Hopefully.
Rate: 2.5 stars.

First: It is a hate/love book. You HAVE to hate it while you love it and vice versa! So FIVE stars to that.
Second: the story...
I just finished it and I am like...
There was just little times that I could REALLY understand what I was reading. In Jaded, I got the story, but I didn't feel less confused.
Here we have the story happening a year [if I got it right, it is] after what went down in Jaded, with Sheldon, Bryce and Corrigan. These three... JEEZ! How can I follow their story?
Let me try and write something understandable... So, in the year that we see just like momories, the threesome were in Spain 'cause Bryce went there to play soccer. It all got REALLY messed up, there and shit happened during that year that made the three friends fall apart.
That all wouldn't be so hard to understand if we got a clear view of what they were talking about when they made acusations or fighted about something. And it is just half the book. There is the OTHER STALKER! Yes, Tijan you did it again!
How is that possible that I hate and love her characters so bad? Ok, maybe I just hate Bryce after this book, but Corrigan, Sheldon and Denton?! Even Leah!!! I'm just bubbling because after this finale PLUS the excerpt from next book, Jaden, that Tijan put in the end of the book... JEEZ, WOMAN!
I don't know if I say "READ IT" or "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM IT" bacause I'm still confused. What I do know is that Tijan have the greatest and most intriguing mind that I can think about, right now...
And we have a cliffhanger at the end...
Hmmmhmm!
p.s.: I LOVE YOU CORRIGAN!!!

Want to read
October 18, 2013I read some of the reviews....There were a lot of angst and I'm not sure I wanna spoil the mood I had after reading Jaded. I don't want to see Bryce with another girl. I don't want to see their friendship fall apart. And I definitely do not want to know about this major cliffhanger that might just spoil everything!

Spoiler alert!!
WHAT HAPPENED??
First Bryce
Where's the old Bryce gone. The one who didn't give a f*ck, the one who had such a strong aura about him that just made him automatically cool? Where did he go?! I understand the situation and everything but seriously?? All the things I loved about Bryce were kinda gone..in fact he was hardly ever in the story. Lets hope the next book we get the old Bryce back!
I don't know how I feel about the whole Corrigan and Sheldon situation, I'm not a fan of love triangles especially one like this. I don't like how the relationship between the three of them changed because of it, I think Bryce and Sheldon could have still had their "breakup" or whatever but the whole love triangle thing didn't have to go down.
But SHELDON!
God I love that girl..it's actually hard not too! She's everything!! I need a whole book just of her comebacks alone...how entertaining would that be right? She just handles everything right to me, I don't know how people are not bowing down to her..I know I would be!
Anyway Tijan did it again (is that really surprising?) This book was just as good as the others. I can't wait til the next one. We got a little preview for the next book in the series and I'm kinda like wtf! but still, I just know it will be as entertaining as EVER!
I literally cannot wait!! ARGHH

A great sequel! 4 stars!
A big reason of why I love this series is because it is so different from anything else out there. The female lead can be pretty harsh and cruel, but she is loyal to those she loves. She has her own set of rules she lives by and she doesn't care what anyone else thinks. I love it.
Can't wait for the next one..

This book turned my stomach into knots, and I honestly felt a terrible panicky feeling in my chest while reading it. This series is like a sick addiction, one I just can't get enough of even though half the time I want to scream and yell and throw a few things around the room. These characters infuriate me but I'm obsessing over them. It is like the most extreme car-crash TV multiplied ten-fold with an extra dollop of highly-emotive angsty drama on top. These characters have few redeeming qualities, and they can in no way be described as positive role models, but they are strangely endearing all the same.
I spent the first half of this book feeling sorry for Sheldon, the middle part screaming at Bryce, and the last part scratching my head in utter confusion over the apparent connection between Sheldon and Corrigan. I adore love triangles and this one is frustratingly good. I like that Tijan explores the theme of actually being properly in love with two guys at the same time. And it's not lust or insta-love as these three have been best friends for years. I know some people don't believe it's possible to be in love with two people at the same time, but I think it's credible. Gosh, it cranked the awkwardness level to new heights but I lapped it up. I started to have some sympathy for Bryce toward the end even though he still acted like an ass with that bloody supermodel.
The stalker subplot is good but very much in the background and I'm expecting that to develop in the final book.
I liked seeing a different side to Corrigan and it seems fairly clear that she has already chosen him even if she doesn't realize it. I'm not sure how I feel about that. There was no clue to this connection in the first one so I find it weird that she might love him more than Bryce. If subtle clues had been evident in the first book, it would be more believable. The other issue I had is that all of the time the three of them spent in Barcelona isn't relayed for the reader which is very bizarre because the supposed issues in their relationship arose from that chapter in their lives. We are told bits and pieces but otherwise it was glossed over. It would have made more sense if book two focused on that time and this was book three etc.
Glaring editing errors, some plot holes, and timeline issues grated on my nerves too but there is no way I can rate this less than 5 stars. Any book that ties me into so many knots and has me up half the night thinking about the characters and the plot is worthy of top marks. Dying to see how this series closes out now!
My recommendation comes with a health warning - only for those who enjoy high-stakes drama, despicable characters with little moral compass, and angsty emotional romance.
This review will appear on my blog in due course.

I am not sure what to think after I just finished reading this book. I am not sure how I feel about the ending. I do not know how I feel about the direction of the friendship of these three individuals. I am not saying I did not like it. I loved this book. I think it was written and put together very well, I just don’t know how I feel about everything that is happening. Trying to wrap my head around it.
I love that there is mystery and suspense in this particular series. After what happened to Sheldon in the last book, Jaded, Sheldon is once again being stalked by someone. She has come back home from being away for year with Bryce in Spain. Bryce is now a hot super star soccer player and is playing for a team in LA. Things have changed though.
One thing is that Sheldon has two guy best friends that will do anything and everything for her.
Sometimes, I do not think she realizes how lucky she is to have them. Sheldon is strong and does not take crap from anyone, but I think she gets so worked up at trying to figure out everyone’s reactions and thoughts that she gets lost.
Anyway, I am a huge Tijan fan. These books are amazing. There are NO wasted words in this book. This author does not disappoint.

One year after book one, Sheldon, Bryce, and Corrigan are changed, split in ways. Book one ended with Sheldon and Corrigan following Bryce to Barcelona to play soccer and then when it picks back up Sheldon and Corrigan are back home going to college and Bryce is still in Barcelona, but soon he returns and we find that after the events in book one our trio are all suffering in their own ways, but it's easy to see that as long as they have each other they can handle anything.....
When someone stalking Sheldon becomes lethal the group again bands together to protect each other. Secrets and old feelings boil to the surface and turmoil has everyone on edge...
Book two was just as amazing as book one. SO excited for the conclusion in book three.

Ha. So you know how I vowed off TIJAN for-like-ever in my last review? This time I’m really done. D-O-N-E.
I’m sorry. I know it’s horrible of me to shit-talk her books, then go on and read it, then shit talk again. It’s like, why don’t I just stay away if I know I won’t like them?
Trust me, I have learned my lesson big time. I will NEVER EVER read another one of her books EVER again.
In book #2, the three “besties� have an almost incestuous relationship. It’s quite sick, really. And Sheldon truly needs psychological help. All three of these characters are STUPID SLUTS.
And I mean it this time around. I. Am. Quitting. Tijan.
’r.
Gross.

I thought that kids in my high school and college were scary, but these girls have nothing on them.
Another good book that I couldn't put down and was sitting up to finish at 2am this morning.
But so worth it!

I definitely enjoyed it more than the first book.
Read
May 6, 2021This book was too ambitious. It was too confusing, and took away some of what I loved in the first book. I love the idea of friendship as tight as family against the world. It really gives the reader something to root for. This book effed it up in all sorts of ways. In the last book, I loved how there was a great evil, and the three banded together to protect each other. But in this book, the looming evil took the backseat to their interpersonal drama. But there was still this looming evil, that wasn't addressed properly because of an unnecessary love triangle. It was mentioned before that Sheldon was ridiculously smart. I wish Tijan would have done something with that. That could have been really cool to read about.
Another thing that I disliked, was that it was as if the characters had completely different personalities at times, losing what drew us to them in the first place. Who wants to start rooting for different players half way through the season? NOT ME.
Sheldon was a little too unhinged, and that's not the girl i loved before. She was cool, calculated and abrasive, almost like a female mason kade. But alas, she lost it. I really would have loved to see her as rock that held her friends up. Instead she imploded. In fact, all of the characters seemed too similar to the fallen crest crew, only slightly distorted for the worse. Like if you dropped an ice cube into a glass of red wine and then drank it two hours later. Fallen Crest= wine. Jaded = Ice cube. In the end its still wine, but is it still good to drink? Its up to you to decide.
Come on Tijan! If you're going to make the characters so similar to other characters, especially ones as beloved as the kades and sam, do it better. Or create new identities. Seriously, she who wields the pen, do something different.

Frankly, this book left me feeling disappointed. After reading and loving the well-written, murder mystery aspect of it, I found this book lack-lustre and a tad annoying.
I felt like instead of focusing more on the copycat killer after Sheldon, they concentrated on her love life and whether her and Bryce had a future . I felt like yelling at Sheldon to get her priorities straight. Don't get me wrong, I like romance in books, I love it in fact, but this just felt childish and pointless.
I also found Sheldon to be a bit of a temperamental bitch in the middle to later stages of this book. She practically pushed EVERYONE away. I found it hard to sympathise with her.
Bryce was an ass-hole. End of. I liked caring Corrigan. And I'm rooting for Denton!
It was hard to get a grasp on the exact time-frame as I felt that Tijan got her dates mixed up a little. In one scene Sheldon said they had come back from Barcelona a year later. Then in another, she said 2 years. It just confused me a little. Not really a big issue, just a bit annoying.
There were some nice aspects of this book, like the underlying, mysterious tone, but it's just sad that Sheldon's overbearing love life took over.
A bit of a left down since I tend to thoroughly enjoy Tijan books.
I currently don't plan on reading the next book as I don't really like the way this book ended; I'll probably only read it if I find it discounted on the Kindle store for, like, £0.99.
Frankly, this book left me feeling disappointed. After reading and loving the well-written, murder mystery aspect of it, I found this book lack-lustre and a tad annoying.
I felt like instead of focusing more on the copycat killer after Sheldon, they concentrated on her love life and whether her and Bryce had a future . I felt like yelling at Sheldon to get her priorities straight. Don't get me wrong, I like romance in books, I love it in fact, but this just felt childish and pointless.

***Warning i will be talking about the storyline so expect some spoilers!*** For those of you that have read it please continue reading and help me out!
I love pretty much everything that I have read by Tijan. There are errors (spelling and grammar) throughout each book, but it doesn't bother me that much because I really love the stories. What does bother me is the inconsistencies in the story lines. *SPOILER* For instance in this book it says that Sheldon's only had sex with 2 people in her life when in the first one there's a whole conversation about it and her telling Bryce that there have been 3 men total. Even with that happening I still love Tijan's books and have almost read them all.
I read the first 3 chapters of the third book in the series and I'm totally lost! At the end of Still Jaded *SPOILER* Sheldon was arrested. The first chapter of the third book was included in my copy of Still Jaded and it continued the storyline right where it left off. When I read the 3 chapters of the newest book nothing was even mentioned about her getting arrested! I'm wondering if my copy of the book is wrong and I somehow have a ARC. Did your book end this way? It is driving me crazy thinking that something else happened with these characters and I don't know it!

I so only have a love hate relationship with this book!!! My gosh how can u let me invest between choosing from Bryce to Corri? Can we give Denton a chance too?! Freak! I'm confused...I am obviously living vicariously thru this effing books!!! Hahaha
I first started reading FLC when I stumbled upon it on amazon suggested books and the effing KAID brothers are hot!!! So I kinda figured she would make another good heroine on her other books and boy was I not disappointed!!!! I've read BS series and Jaded in the last few days like my life depended on it!!! Ughhhh I shouldn't have because now I am left hanging now and I cannot wait for the next books!
Back to jaded, my gosh who will she pick?!!! I am dying!!! I'm thinking for a butter plot line she would pick staying with Denton so she won't hurt their feelings...until she can breathe and finally realized who she can't leave without...haha do u have sample chapters for jaded 3?
Anyway, I am writing nonsense above. I think you're a good writer. Your heroines have the same characteristics, gorgeous, loyal to no end, protective, and swoon worthy. Really they don't exist!!! If they do, only for the first few years of dating haha but that's why they sell... Wink!!! I will buy more of your books for sure!!! Can't wait!!!!

Wow, what a mess Sheldon, Bryce and Corrigan are in now. These three are thick as thieves, but when lines are blurred and then crossed, it goes from bad to worse.
Bryce is back from Spain to be a soccer sensation in L.A., Corrigan is the big man on the college campus now and Sheldon is around pissing off a new group of girls. In this book the three of them start out as a mess and it only gets worse. Bryce has management to please in ways that hurts Sheldon so she starts to shut him out and turn to Corrigan more.
Sheldon has to figure out what or who she wants while also trying to figure out who has a vendetta against her now. The list of enemies is a long one and darn if there isn't a cliffhanger so we still don't know. I like that Denton Steele, the hot as hell movie star neighbor has stepped up in this book, making Sheldon's decision even harder.
I have loved every one of Tijan's books and follow her blog. Not too sure what her time line is to finish off the Jaded series yet, but I can't wait!

Wow, this sequel was really good but it just made me more anxious about the next book and final in this series. Sheldon, Bryce, and Corrigan in this book have been apart for awhile and they are somewhat broken. They still care about one another and they still think of each other as family but there is a change there. In Jaded, Sheldon and Bryce were clearly in love but Sheldon had a problem with her emotions but it was always them. I wondered about Corrigan but wasn't sure if he loved her like that. Now, we know that both Bryce and Corrigan love her and she loves them back but she has to choose. I don't know which way to go, they both love her and would do anything for her but I don't know which one is best. And reading the beginning of the next book just makes me want to read it so much and can't wait. Tijan's characters are so screwed up and broken in a sense, they have been hurt so bad in the past and they do not seem to have any parental figures. But the stories are always so good.

Fudge. Holy hell. I don't know if I want to read this anymore. After reading the reviews, I can tell this one is totally going to screw me over, and a cliffhanger? crap. So I go see if the next books out, and hell, DECEMBER??? And from the synopsis, I can make a general guess of the cliffhanger, and damn. No matter how much I want to read this, I don't think I can do it... argh.
I'll wait... maybe... for my sake, hopefully. I feel like my hearts about to burst. You know when you're in that mood, possibly starving and there just happens to be the most delicious little bite of chocolate on the table? but there's only half a bite, and you know that if you eat it, you'll be worse off. I'm kinda in that situation. I have the god-damned book and this is absolute torture. DO NOT CAVE. DO NOT CAVE. DO Not cave... do not cave... do... not... cave...
Ok, I'm shifting this to my to-read shelf. Having it stare at me on the currently-reading shelf is killing me.
Read it. Wow.

Some time has passed since all the drama of the last book, and Sheldon is still a bitch, Corrigan is a bit less of a man-whore and Bryce is as uncommunicative as always. So the three of them are just as fuck-up as they were.
Girls in general in this book are catty and conniving. Corrigan and Bryce are playing a dangerous game and Sheldon as usual is having a hard time expressing herself in a normal fashion. Things got violent and weird again.
The difference from this book, is that they all grown up and don’t know how to handle it, least of all Sheldon, and instead of a well cut out ending we get a cliffhanger and a preview of what is to come in the next installment.
By the time this bunch of kids reach their 30th birthday, they would probably need a new liver each� The drinking is absolutely alarming.

I finished reading this book, and seriously just sat her trying to figure out what the f*** just happened!!!!!!
Mind equal blown!!!!!!!
Sheldon, Bryce and Corrigan have fallen apart.
Am I the only one hoping for Denton?? I love him and I think he would be the best for in the long run.
I think its time for Sheldon just needs to cut ties with the lot of them and move on. Move on with Denton damn it!! Make me happy!!! Just do it!
Bryce turned into a complete douche, and corrigan well i don't even know what to think about him right now.
and come on another freaking stalker? really! and yet another murder!! Tijan is killing me!!
Just put me out of misery and lets find out who the newest crazy person is and let her end up with Denton.
Tijan never ceases to amaze me and keeping me in suspense.
GAWD!! I LOVE YOU TIJAN!!!

Ahhh, Sheldon. I don't know whether to buy her a drink, shake some sense into her or give her prickly ass a hug (which would probably earn me a black eye). Frustrating, but that is why I love Tijan's characters. Never one-dimensional.
DO NOT even get me started on the boys. Bryce, what can I say. Right now your an ass. I may have to switch to Team Corrigan now. Even though I have always had a soft spot for Corrigan, it is lucky for you I am a sucker for a boy with a mo-hawk, so I am willing to give you another shot in the third book.
Some editing issues, but I am able to overlook the editing since the story is a fun and interesting read.

Thank God! I love Bryce to bits but I love Corrigan too and kinda wish in the first book that he'll end up with Shel. and thank god! there's hope! yay! Shel and Corrigan!!! I kinda hate Corrigan's name though, it's forgettable. lol
I am so in love with Shel's character! she's so unique! SHE KICKS ASS! YAY!
holy shit!! book 3???? CHAPTER 1 OF JADEITE!
SOOOO... that was my review last year... did I just say that Corrigan's name was forgettable? If you asked me a week ago to name the 3 characters of this novel, I wouldn't have been able to answer Shel and Bryce's name. All I remember was Corrigan's name.. ;)
