Jailbird (Sound of Silence Series, Book Two) Kindle Edition

My hometown decided to rename me Jailbird.

Every day I silently scream out, "My name is Mia Faraday!" My time in jail does not define me. I am so much more than one heated mistake.

And yet, my slip-up weighs on me. There's so much more to the story than anyone realizes. I must face Stony, my ex, and confess everything.

I don't want to. I'd rather have five teeth pulled. While I'm awake. Without anesthesia.

But this is something I have to do, something I need to do. Not just for Stony. I need to do it for me. Especially for me. I can't move forward with my life until I gain closure from the past.

When I meet Grayson Elliott, I am easily pulled into his orbit and it's exactly where I'd love to stay. He makes me laugh and not take life so seriously. He makes me want to live again.

But I don't love me right now, and that healing needs to come first. I'm not relationship-ready or marriage material. My mind is focused on redemption. I want it. I need it.

Besides, when Grayson hears about my colorful past, I'm sure he'll be gone before I have time to utter the word goodbye.

After all, who could ever love a jailbird?

Please note: The Sound of Silence Series is a three book series.

Book One: Stone Silence, Spencer's Story
Book Two: Jailbird, Mia's Story
Book Three: Hothouse Flower, Shay's Story

Each book has a happy ending and there are no cliffhangers. They are not standalones and should be read in order.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mia's Story
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2018

**Be sure to read Stone Silence before reading this one**

Love can be complicated, that's for sure. Mia made a colossal mistake, paid dearly for it, and her life-long boyfriend, Stony, moved on and now it's time for her to do the same. Isn't that easier said than done? Taylor Dean writes in first person, which really drew me in and caused me to deeply feel and understand the reasoning behind Mia's mistake.

Mia has a new outlook on life, but it's really hard to move forward--I honestly can't imagine how hard it would be. I greatly admire and love her character. Grayson has a tricky connection to Mia, but his adorable sense of humor and positive attitude towards life is a huge bonus. I adore Grayson--he kept me smiling and laughing! He's the gift that every struggling woman needs to have appear in her life.

What really captured me is the heart and soul that Taylor Dean manages to portray with her words. The characters are life-like and their struggles are real, but it's not heavy and depressing at all. A hope rises out of the pages and really grasps the heart. I love the journey, the progress, and the chemistry that abounds throughout the story. This is one series that I just can't stop thinking about.

Content: mild violence/peril; mild, swoony romance.

4.0 out of 5 stars A story of redemption and forgiveness

I am so glad I decided to continue on with this series!
While it did take me a bit to connect with the story this time, I was still reminded why I loved Taylor Dean’s writing so much when I first read Stone Silence. 
Reading Dean’s writing is like listening to someone’s mind. She doesn’t shy away from repetitions and petty thoughts that we all know will always find their way into someone’s train of thought but not always will make their way into writing. 
What I really liked about this sequel was the complete shift in tone from Stone Silence. 
While the first book left me mostly feeling fuzzy and happy, reading Jailbird was a different experience entirely. The book has a much somber tone as we deal with Mia’s insecurities, anxiety and I am pretty sure she suffered from a mild form of depression(but that might be just my own reflection on her). I loved reading about her struggles and will to get better, to regain her control over her own life. 
Much of Mia’s thoughts mirrored my own at some point or another in my life. I can really appreciate her journey, even if it is completely different from my own. 
When it comes to Grayson, I think I fell in love the second he entered Mia’s life. His up beat and humorous approach to life captivated me from the start. I wish I had just an ounce of his energy and take on life. 
Just as with Stone Silence, Jailbird has its flaws as well, but where I might see flaws others might see nothing wrong, so you better judge it for yourself. Either way, if you read Stone Silence I highly recommend continuing on to Jailbird. The story is a wonderful tale of redemption, battling personal demons and forgiveness.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay but not as good as the first book
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2018

I absolutely loved the first book in the series and this one was...just okay. I got tired of the prolonged drumroll for Mia’s big confession. The writing is pretty good, but there were a few repetitive themes that really started to annoy me. Everyone keeps telling Mia (and she also keeps telling herself) how she deserves to be happy. It kind of struck me as an entitlement attitude. Happiness is a gift and there’s nothing wrong with pursuing it, but acting like it’s owed to you just rubbed me the wrong way.

Second, Mia is always thinking or reassuring people that she has no intention of coming between her ex-fiancé and his wife, and yet she internally voices the thought that if Stony came begging for a second chance with her she would tell him to call her when his divorce was final. Was that supposed to be noble of her? How about telling him to grow up and go work on his marriage with his wife? (Assuming that hypothetically encounter did take place). What bothered me about that was how it made marriage seem like just a simple arrangement that can be broken if a person decides they are no longer happy. And it’s not clear if this line of thinking was a character flaw of Mia’s or how the author also views marriage. Well that totally ruins the romance. If Mia has the attitude that marriage is only for as long as both people are happy, then she’ll be in for a rude awakening down the road. Love is a choice...sometimes it’s easy and sometimes it’s not.

I don’t think this book was advertised as being a Christian romance, so it probably is not fair of me to expect Christian based morals (although it is relatively clean and there are no graphic scenes) or for God to be mentioned instead of the universe (At one point Mia thinks something along the lines of how the universe must know she needed an experience to help her feel redeemed). Don’t misunderstand me...I hate preachy books, but it just seemed like we were never given a foundation in this book. Mia is seeking to find strength from within herself, and I guess I just found her overall apparent worldview hard to track.

I’m not sure I’ll read the third book...it looks like it’s gearing up for a romance between Shay and Jace. Maybe I’m old fashioned but I don’t particularly enjoy romance stories involving divorce and remarriage.
