From goodreads: Some things are worth waiting for…
Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.
Some things are worth experiencing…
Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.
Some things should never be kept quiet…
But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?
And some things are worth fighting for…
I totally enjoyed Wait for You and it’s exactly the perfect book if you are in between reads. What you can expect from J. Lynn (a.k.a Jennifer L. Armentrout) is solid writing, a great push and pull between Cam and Avery, witty banter and a touching story. However, even though I love J. Lynn and I hate to say this…the story is not unique. It’s been done before. It’s predictable and there’s nothing wrong with that but I wanted her to WOW me like she has in the past. Now, before everyone starts throwing tomatoes at me, I will reiterate that I enjoyed this book!
This is a very sweet story about overcoming your past and allowing yourself to fall in love. What’s not to love about Cam? He was perfection and there was nothing he could say that would make me do an eye-roll. Between him making her breakfast, baking cookies and calling her sweetheart…I was all warm and fuzzy throughout this entire story!
Where do I start with Avery? She had a tough little exterior but not really and all she wanted was to overcome her past. Who helps her do that?? You guessed it, Cam! There is no insta-love which I very much appreciated and their friendship turned into much, much more but it happened gradually. Cam asked her out every dang day and the way he would make her laugh would make anyone overcome their past!! Clearly, all I’m doing is writing about Cam but he made a huge impact on me.
This is a brief review about a book that will make you feel good and put a smile on your face. It’s the kind of book that has the perfect amount of angst, great dialogue and amazing chemistry. You will fall in love with Cam and that makes this book worth reading!
