Reaching for sunlight...
Finn survived the ambush and came home to me, but in his head, the battle is still raging. He’s falling apart and I’m trying my best to pick up the pieces of him, to find the us we used to be. I love him as much as I ever did, but love isn’t enough to fix this. I thought telling my father about our relationship would be the hardest thing we’d ever have to face. I was wrong.
Lost in shadows...
All I wanted was to be worthy of Carrie. One mission, just one, and I’d be able to give her the future she deserved. Then everything went wrong, leaving me tainted and broken. Carrie wants me to be who I was, but all that’s left is what they made of me. I’m no good for her. No good for anyone like this. I have to figure out how to move forward. Alone.
Sometimes love isn’t enough…

A few months ago I got the chance to discover The Out of Line Series. Carrie and Finn's love story warmed my heart from the very beginning. When I picked up Out of Line for the first time, I did not know what to expect. It was my first time reading something from Jen McLaughlin. A few chapters is all it took to make me fall in love with these amazing characters! If you have not read Out of Line and Out of Time yet, I strongly suggest that you add them to your TBR list. This's series is beautifully written and so real!
Out of Mind is the final book in this series, and I am so sad to see it end :( Out of all the books in the series this one was the most emotional one for me. You will definitely have to read the first two books to follow Carrie and Finn's journey in Out of Mind. In this book, Carrie and Finn encounter many obstacles that will tear them apart. Seeing the person that you love the most in the whole world change right in front of you is painful. Carrie wants the old Finn back. When Finn came back from his mission he was a completely different person. After seeing all the people that he loves slip away, one by one out of his life, Finn's world comes crashing down. The last thing he wants to do is to let go of the woman he loves. But, once he comes back to her, images of the horrific moments he lived while away haunt him non-stop. He's a changed man. He sees it and so does Carrie. The more he pushes her away the more she holds on to their love. Will their love be strong enough to survive these difficult times?
I can't believe this fantastic journey is over!!!!! I loved following Carrie and Finn! These are two memorable and remarkable characters! They had many ups and downs like every couple. Love is beautiful, but it's also painful at times. When you get your heart broken it takes time to put all the pieces back together. You can't fix a broken heart with a simple ''I'm sorry'' or with a kiss. What I loved the most about Carrie and Finn's relationship is that nothing was rushed. It took them time to realize that they could not live apart from each other. Finn had to work hard to find the old Finn. The Finn that Carrie still sees behind that wall he so stubbornly put up. Even if at times I wanted to give him a virtual slap for hurting Carrie's feelings , I still loved him! Carrie was sweet and understanding. She could see Finn struggling and she was always there to show her love and support.
I really liked Riley, Marie and Hernandez. I would absolutely love to see a series about Marie and Hernandez. Riley was great as well, and I really hope he finds his HEA. He's an amazing character!
