Description:

A sexy category romance from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…

He can protect her from everyone except himself.

Alana Gore is in danger. A take-no-prisoners publicist, her way with people has made her more than a few enemies over the years, but a creepy stalker is an entirely different matter. She needs a bodyguard, and the only man she can ask is not only ridiculously hot, but reputed to have taste for women that goes beyond adventurous.

Chandler Gamble has one rule: don't protect anyone you want to screw. But with Alana, he's caught between his job and his increasingly hard libido. On one hand, Alana needs his help. On the other, Chandler wants nothing more than to take the hot volcano of a woman in hand. To make her writhe in pleasure, until she's at his complete mercy.

She needs protection. He needs satisfaction. And the moment the line is crossed, all hell will break loose…

Description from Goodreads:
It’s Wait for You as you’ve never seen it. Trust in Me lets you in on Cam’s side of the #1 New York Times Bestselling story.

Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up. He can’t get the feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. Will persistence (and some delicious homemade cookies) help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery's life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?

We all know I loved Wait For You. And that I love JLA. So I'm just going to tell you now: I loved Trust in Me. But as always, I have REASONS. Ready for 'em?

Cam has a great personality. Or, should I say, Jen did a great job writing Cam's personality. If Wait For You were to have been dual POV, it would have been super easy to tell whether it was him or Avery telling the story. He's so DIFFERENT from Avery, and I loved it. Avery had a serious outlook on things, and while Cam could totally take things serious when needed, he was mostly super entertaining. He had a fun mind.

Cam and his sweetness. Again, his mind. I loved being inside it. He was so sweet. Little did I know how much he called Avery "Shortcake" in his mind. Ha! Outwardly, Cam was sweet as tea in Wait For You, but it was cool to be inside his head and see it extend there, too. But it still wasn't TOO MUCH, either. Cam was still a guy. Obviously.

Cam's cookies. I actually have nothing to add on this. Just...those cookies. ;) *giggles*

Extra things. It was nice to see Cam when he WASN'T with Avery, too. When he talked with Ollie and Jase. In between what happened with Avery. That was also a great set up for what's going to happen in Be With Me--Jase and Teresa. It's going to be all kinds of awesome! And there were a few extras with Avery that I liked, too.

I pretty much just liked this whole book. Novella. Whatever.

BUT. This is definitely just something EXTRA. There's not a bunch of Cam-secrets in this one--it's not a NECESSARY read. If you liked Wait For You, then go for it! Read away. But if you're looking for a while different story all for Cam, then...nope. This is exactly what it says it is: Wait For You in Cam's POV. I loved it. I recommend it. But don't go in hoping for more than it is.

I actually thought there would be more extra things than there were. The story was great, the writing was fantastic, but there wasn't as much to this story as I thought there would be. Like I said, it's just something EXTRA. For those of us who love Cam.

Oh, and Trust in Me was definitely the perfect title for this! I love the perfection of those words.

Overall, Jen writes some darn good books. I'd say this one can be added to the long list of those. Cam is swoon-worthy, and I love him more than I did before (who'd of thought THAT was possible?). I can't wait to get more glimpses of Cam and Avery in Be With Me!

Review: Wait For You by J. Lynn♥

Wait For You by J. Lynn
Release Date: February 26, 2013
Format: ebook, 332 pages
Publisher: Avon
Series: Wait For You #1
Source: Edelweiss

Description 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…

How do I explain how I feel about Wait For You? Because I'm seriously not sure about this right now. First and foremost I should tell you this: it was awesome. But that's a vague statement. WHY is this story so awesome?

First, the characters. Jen's writing is wonderful, but I love her characters the very most, and Wait For You was no exception. Avery was somewhat annoying to me in the sense that she spent so much time running from everything. She didn't face things and that bothered me, especially when it affected her relationships with people. A certain person in particular, actually. Hehe. But other than that, I liked Avery more and more as the story went on and I learned more about her. Then I understood her better and her decisions didn't grate on me as much. CAM. Then there is Cam. Just thinking about Cam right now makes me giggle. He is kind and funny and I want him to be real so I can touch him. I mean...heh. He bakes cookies and has a pet turtle named Raphael. I swear, JLA writes some of the best guys. Other than our two main characters, there are supporting characters that I enjoyed so much. They were amusing, and I always like seeing interactions with friends. Couple-y things are fantastic! But it's nice to see regular interactions with other people, too. Oh, and I'm talking both Cam AND Avery's friends here. I liked them all.

But my love for this book goes beyond the characters, obviously. The writing. I don't know how Jen does it. I'm thinking it's some supernatural-type explanation because really. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? She writes the best dialogue, she writes the best kissy scenes, she writes the best awkward scenes, she write the best... I actually have a long list of this in my head right now, but I'm guessing you get my point. Her writing pulls you in and keeps you there with a freaking chokehold or something. But it's the most lovely chokehold that ever existed.

The story. Honestly, not much surprised me about this book. I knew what Avery's secret was and it wasn't incredibly difficult to guess what Cam's issues were. This is one of those cases, though, where that doesn't matter. Because the story is written well and the situations are still so incredibly interesting. Plus, Cam and Avery's story is super sweet, even with the heavy topics strewn within. They work through it and it is magnificent.

Overall, Wait For You is a terrific book that will make you feel all tingly inside. It was the first contemporary book I read by JLA, but goodness knows it will not be my last. I loved it! And I am so excited for Trust in Me and Be With Me. More Cam and then more awesome. Lots and lots of awesome. Eeep!

Description from Goodreads:

For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love.

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have.

But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

 

I have been freaking out about Frigid for a while now, as many of you know. Especially if you saw my pre-review on Goodreads...hehe. Pretty much from the day this book was announced, I was wanting it. But then the teasers were posted and the cover was revealed and just...more stuff. And I got even MORE excited and was making all kind of grabby hands for it and just AHHH. Then there's the fact that this is another book the ever-fabulous JLA. Needless to say, my hopes were high for this one.

 

I am SO glad to be able to say that Jen has, yet again, written an awesome sauce book that made me all kinds of happy, and makes me swoon just THINKING about it now. Frigid is New Adult, which I love, completely romantic, and has that mystery aspect to it that makes everything even more interesting. This was a completely fun and swoon-worthy read that I absolutely ADORE.

 

Character Rundown:

Sydney: You see, I like Sydney. She's the quiet girl who reads and studies and packs way more than she needs to. Which means she's the kind of person I can TOTALLY understand. I love being able to get where characters are coming from. I also enjoyed watching her come out of her shell a bit as the story went on and...things...happened.

 

Kyler: I have named Kyler Hottie McHotterson. Which is kind of weird, because his name is so freaking great, but I can't help it. He has EARNED the name Hottie McHotterson. He's just...he's just so....AHHHH. I was really glad this one was dual POV so we could see what was going on in his brain. Because, let's be honest, he was a manwhore. I have a love/hate relationship with characters like that. But we were in his mind and understood what was up with him and he was so fantastic. I heart him so much. He is totally my boy. <3

 

Plot. This book starts off all sweet, innocuous, and swoony. But then things start happening and the story rolls on and...it just builds up and gets better and better. As I said, there's that mystery in there which I loved, that made the story more interesting and just added a little something to make everything BETTER. Frigid was also funny. So, so funny sometimes.

 

Romance: There is a guy named Hottie McHotterson who is 100% swoon-worthy and plays the freaking guitar. There is DEFINITELY romance all over this book. And this couple...Sydney and Mr. Hotterson...oh, man. I adored seeing them together. They were so great together! And there was no insta-love, which was nice. It was just two people who had known each other forever finally taking a chance at what had always been there. And I LOVELOVELOVED it!

 

The ending. Awwwwwwww! Mr. Hotterson!

 

Overall, Frigid was yet another fantastic story from JLA! Certainly one of my favorite New Adult books, it made me laugh and swoon and was completely enjoyable to read--through the romance and the mystery. I honestly do not know how Jen does it, but I never want her to stop!

 

Kyler Character Interview Question #11

If I were to give you a pet tiger, what would you name him and why? (And yes, the tiger would definitely be a HIM and he is exceedingly adorable, but in a vicious way.)

I would name him Bojangles. I mean, who wouldn't want an exceedingly adorable, but in a vicious way, male tiger named Bojangles?

 

And question #12 that will be answered tomorrow is:

Ever have those super hero fantasies? What super hero do you wish you could be, even for only one day? Why that hero and those powers?

 

Be sure to stop by Total Bookaholic tomorrow (7/25) to check out Kyler's answer! Goodness knows I will. :)

Giveaway: FRIGID♥ by J. Lynn!

 

Hey, y'all!

 

SO. You're probably wondering what's up. I haven't done a giveaway for no other reason than I darn well feel like it in a while. And you guys...well, you guys are the BEST. There are over 1200 of you now. THAT BLOWS MY MIND.

 

I can't even. Seriously. I just can't.

 

(Yeah. I totally just grabbed this from my blogoversary post.)

 

So I thought I'd do a giveaway. Because I REALLY, REALLY like you guys.

 

But also because I have just read a super fantastic book that I want everyone to read. And, well...I can't exactly get you ALL the book (though I totally would if I could), but I could give it to one of you lucky ducks.

 

If you read the title of this post, you know what I'm giving away...

 

Frigid by J. Lynn

 

Before you ask--YES. J. Lynn is actually JLA in disguise. And YES, I do usually put the book covers small for giveaways, but...I adore this cover. It's so pretty, and it goes so well with my blog! The snowflakes and everything...(and Sarah Hansen may or may not be my hero...)

 

So yeah. I JUST finished reading Frigid. I've been pining for this book since Jen started teasing us about it and it FINALLY came in the mail yesterday. I dragged my half-asleep self out of bed at least an hour earlier than I would have otherwise to open this awesomeness.

 

And then I read it. In somewhere close to 24 hours. Would have been less if I hadn't stopped to play Monopoly with the fam (I SUCK at Monopoly, by the way. I give great advice and have the best memory ever about things with it, but I always end up broke first)...so if I hadn't stopped to play Monopoly and if I hadn't passed out from about 7-10:30 AM. But I did, so....we're gonna say roughly 24 hours.

 

Why did I read it so fast, you ask? Good question, grasshopper. I read it so fast because JEN ARMENTROUT IS A FREAKING WIZARD.

 

Or whatever.

 

Her books. They just do something to you. She, like, coats them in awesomesauce and you can't help but readreadread until you reach the end.

 

And...well, I'm going to write a review for this book. You'll see all I have to say then. But for now I have two things to say to y'all:

 

1. I hereby name Kyler Hottie McHotterson. He has SO earned it.

 

2. I'm going to give away Frigid!! Read on for the details and whatnot.

Top Ten Books I've Read in 2013 So Far

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme host over at The Broke and the Bookish!

 

I'm not sure what order to put these in, so they aren't really in order. Also, Ten Tiny Breaths by K.A. Tucker is an honorable mention. So, yeah...

 

My Top Ten Books Read in 2013 So Far:

 

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

I rave about this book all the time. IT IS SO FANTASTIC OHMYGOSH AHHHHH

One of my favorite books EVER, not just this year. It's rare that I read a book and I can't think of anything I do not like about the book. But...I honestly have trouble thinking of anything negative about this book.

 

The Collector by Victoria Scott

Dante's MY BOY. Goodness, this boy. LOVE. His book also sits on my all-time favorites shelf. Both literally and figuratively (Goodreads).

Oh, and V. That girl can WRITE. Also, I heart her face, but that has nothing to do with the book.

 

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Travis Maddox. There's just something about that guy...I don't know what it is exactly, but I LOVE it.

 

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

I have no words. It is just so wonderful.

 

 The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Now I REALLY have no words. Just tears.

My first John Green book, and it has definitely ensured that I'm going to read more. I need to put time in between them, though. My heart can't take them all at once.

 

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

I read this book only because I couldn't find any spoilers to tell me just what the what happens in this book to make everyone cry so freaking much after reading it. But now...I adore Colleen Hoover. Holder is one of my favorite book boys of all time. And Hopeless is one of my favorite books. Well played, Colleen. Well played.

 

Wait For You by J. Lynn

It's a book by JLA. Obviously I expected to love it. But I didn't expect to love it THIS much. I think about this book all the time now. I'll be having a conversation and for no reason whatsoever be reminded of Cam and Avery. Or I'll be eating a freaking COOKIE and start giggling because of Cam's cookies.

 

Hehehe

 

Stolen by Lucy Christopher

Oh, this book. This book just affects me so much, there is no way I can't admit it's one of my favorites. I just THINK about this book...and Ty...enough and I start tearing up/CRYING MY FACE OFF. But I love it. And Ty. Even though I probably shouldn't.

AHH I'm so conflicted.

 

One Week Girlfriend by Monica Murphy

Drew + Fable just make me happy dance. That's all there is to it.

Monica Murphy's got skill, also.

 

A Different Blue by Amy Harmon

My favorite word to use when talking about this book is "stunning." Because it without a doubt IS. And I still want to name something Darcy. Or Wilson. Or one thing Darcy and another thing Wilson. *swoons*

 

And...that's ten!

 

What do you think of my picks? What would YOU pick?

Top Ten Tuesday: Books at the Top of my Summer TBR List!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!

 

Partly, this is me playing catch-up, and partly this is me being SUPER excited about reading some books. So...yeah. :)

 

My Top Ten Books on my Summer TBR List:

 

Frigid by J. Lynn

This book is not out yet. But it WILL be out this summer, and I will be lusting after this book all the while. *flails*

 

My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century by Rachel Harris

I got this book for my birthday, started it, and then had to put it aside because it was either reading this book or finishing a PreCal project that was worth a test grade. ...I flipped a coin. The project won. Best 3 out of 5. I was disappointed. My project was pretty darn great, though, if I do say so myself ;)

 

Dare You To by Katie McGarry

Goodness knows I loved Pushing the Limits, so I am SO excited to finally be able to sit down and read this book now that school's over.

 

The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

I got this book for Christmas. CHRISTMAS, y'all! I am in serious need of finally reading it and joining the rest of humanity in biting their nails waiting for the last book.

 

Faking It by Cora Carmack

I just finished a re-read of Losing It, and I am so pumped to get to Cade's story. I just KNOW I'm going to swoon.

 

Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover

This is another one that isn't out yet, but I'm going to make grabby hands for until I get it. Holder is one of my top guys, remember? I CANNOT WAIT to see what was going on in his head. Hopeless is one of my favorite books of all time. I just know this book is going to be AMAZING. Eeep!

 

The Avery Shaw Experiment by Kelly Oram

I JUST got this today, and I'm going to be reviewing it sometime. I am so excited, because this book looks like it is 100% MY KIND OF BOOK, you know?

 

This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith

This cover makes me happy. And this is another one I WANTED to dive into right away, but could not because school is idiotic. But now it is summer, and I have all the time in the world to read what I want. So yay!

 

True Love Story by Willow Aster

I've had this book for a while and my finger has been itching to just CLICK on it on my Kindle. I can't wait until I get to do that! And now I will. Soon.

 

The Valentine's Arrangement by Kelsie Leverich

This is one I started on the moment I got it, but had to stop because I had to do other things. Probably a history notebook or something silly (yet graded) like that. But AGAIN--it is now summer, therefore I have time. And I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!! *squee!*

 

So...yeah. That's my list! Now, tell me:

 

Do you participate in TTT? Link me up!

 

What do you think of my list? Have you read any of these books? What do you think? Which should I read first?

 

And before you go, I'm currently listening to (i.e. singing along to) this song, and I feel like it is pretty appropriate to share in this post. You know, the summer thing and all. Also, if you've read Maggie Stifvater's SHIVER trilogy...heh. ;)

 

 

Mhm. Yeah. That is all. <3

Frigid by J. Lynn

 

For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best
friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie.
Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts
the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their
last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love.

 

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and
she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other
female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have.

 

But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing
stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship
survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

 

Frigid will be available in digital formats on July 30th 2013
Print release of Frigid will be November 5th 2012

Synopsis

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…
