Collateral Damage
By Katie Klein
Publication Date: May 21, 2013
True love can blossom in unexpected places. This is Parker pretending not to care. . . .
Parker Whalen and Jaden McEntyre are a wrong fit from the start. Jaden is driven and focused, Harvard Med School within reach. Parker has a past—a reputation—and the rumors about his mysterious habits abound. So there’s no reason why, when they're assigned to work together on a project in English, they should discover they have anything in common, or even like each other, and they definitely shouldn't be falling in love.
What they have? It isn't real. Because the truth is, Parker Whalen is a liar. This has never mattered…until now. Because lying to someone you care about—someone who matters, someone who believes in you—that's when people get hurt. And Parker is about to hurt Jaden in the biggest way imaginable.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE is the companion novel to CROSS MY HEART, which spent more than 100 days on the Amazon Teen Top 100 Bestseller List in its first year of release, and was a 2011 Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee for Best YA Fiction. COLLATERAL DAMAGE, a 76k word/300 page novel for Young Adults, is CROSS MY HEART told from Parker's point of view.
**Though this is not a series, the author highly recommends reading CROSS MY HEART before COLLATERAL DAMAGE**

REVIEW
5 STARS
I received an ARC for an honest review!
First of all Major Major Kudos to Katie Klein.She Wowed me with Cross My Heart and I thought there was no way she could possibly top it.Well she showed me.Collateral Damage is told in Parkers Point of View and it opens up a whole new dimension to this story. It blows the story over the top and by golly its gold.I tell you pure gold.There is so very much more to Parker then you ever imagined.Im not going to ruin the book for anyone but I will say Parker was dealing with something that you had no clue in Cross My Heart and honestly WOW.I really felt for Parker.I loved seeing that side of him.
I would imagine it is hard to write a book that is technically the same book but from the males point of view because so many people LOVED the first book.Well let me tell you,Beg you.Read Collateral Damage.It is amazing.It will show you how amazing Katie Klein is as an author.I knew I would like the story if it was anything like Cross My Heart but this blew me away with how great it is.Wonderful Job Katie!You should be so very proud of yourself!
