What I love about this series is that the drama/conflict doesn't come from the tension between the hero and heroine. You know they love each other and will end up together. It makes the book so much more enjoyable for me. I get tired of the books that create the conflict by having the main characters disagree and appear that they won't end up together. Maggie and Caleb's love is just beautiful and it has made me love this book. ( )

Love this second installment of the Significance series. Maggie is now a really bad Ace. She continues to learn more about herself and Aces. This book is just as mushy, and cheesy as the first but I still enjoyed it. I love Maggie and Caleb's story and can't wait to see what's in store for them throughout the series. ( )

I am definitely hooked on this series. It is strange to read the different side of the paranormal side. No vampire, just strange tats and abilities along with a real quick love matches and a bunch of other crazy mess along with it. There are so many layers to the book and I find myself falling more in love with Maggie and Caleb in every book. This book was filled with twists at every turn (some good and some bad) but filling you in would give the book away. I so want to know what happens with Jen and Bish and hope like hell they get their own book or some major storyline in a new book. What I can say is that I am truly glad that I have the next book because this one ends with one heck of a cliffhanger! ( )

I'm weird about this book/series. It was good. I stayed up entirely too late reading it. It moved kind of slow but I was really excited about it while I was reading... I just don't know. Maybe it's only a 2 or 3 star book for me. I keep waffling on that so I gave it 4 because I like to give the benefit of the doubt and I DO feel like the series has some merit.

I think part of the reason I am a little conflicted about it is that it seemed a little oppressive towards women, bordering on misogynistic at times. Actually, it seemed a lot oppressive towards women at times. But then, I could see how in the plot that was one of the "changes" that might occur. But I still highly doubt it's ever going to make my feminist side feel all warm and fuzzy.

It also had a highly annoying amount of typographical errors. Very highly annoying. Like, at times, I couldn't exactly make out that the character was supposed to have said. It was also extremely overboard with the "I Love You's" and reassurances. Both characters are totally insecure, but I guess that's better than the female being a total insecure mess all by her poor little ole' self. That gets annoying.

The author's agenda comes through in parts of the book at times too. I understand that nearly every author has "something to say" in their work, but it was a little too soap-boxy... a little too put on... a little 'holier than thou'.

In spit of all of my criticism I am definitely going to read the next installment of this series and I really did like it. Crane has a great gift for story telling but the actual writing needs some serious attention. The plot doesn't flow smoothly, some of the events are awkwardly placed, but the characters are wonderful and the basic plot is very entertaining and original enough. I feel like the actual writing will only get better as Crane continues to write. ( )

Significance and Accordance I read those two so far and they sooooooooo gooooood. Shelly Crane you’re my new favorite author.
First touch and dang soul mate ahh this is so romantic. So significance is the first book where we learn about the basics of course the touch and its consequences, then the love that starts to get deep and deep for Maggie and Caleb, they are so cute together and of course all the events that follow through the book.
I really enjoyed reading it, I didn’t get bored at all, I was practically eating the pages. I was really sad for Kyle though in the first book he was so sure of himself and his feelings for Maggie, he just seemed to accept his faith and try to be accepted by her even if she was meant to be with Caleb but to see him in the second book find the feeling, eventually with Lynn, that Caleb and Maggie shared I was really happy for him.
I also have to say something about Bish and Jen I hope that they will be together they were so hurt in the past after all and they really deserve a happy endings, I hope I will read about them in the next chapters.
And of course Maggie’s dad I wich also that he can find someone in the next chapters because he also was disappointed in his life and deserve a new one.
And of course the threats that have to pope up every one in a while make those books really amazing. The danger and the willing to sacrifice for the love of your life is just priceless and make my heart beat with the characters.
Epical love story, epical adventure because I have to say it is an adventure, epical drama.
Shelly Crane you are my new hero. ( )
