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?
The Cover contessa's Review:
I have to say that I wasn't sure I would like this. I wasn't ready to read the same story I read with Wait For You. I have been down that road with Beautiful Disaster. And it left a bad taste in my mouth. But that was not the case with this book at all. While the storyline follows what we remember in Wait For You pretty much to the tee, you get so much more from reading Cam's POV. And even though this book is listed as #1.5, don't think you're getting into a novella with this one. It's a full length book that takes you in a different direction than reading what Avery had to say. And despite knowing how the story went, and how it ended, I was not bored at all, so much so I couldn't wait to get to the end! It probably helps that I just love reading the guy's POV in YA books. I find them so much more interesting. They always seem to have a much greater depth to them.
I loved Cam in Wait For You. His cockiness was so enjoyable. So, I wasn't sure if he'd get on my nerves in this book, I was scared of not liking him because of how sure of himself he was. But I was wrong. If anything this book made me love him more, if that was even possible. Yes, he's still cocky, but you also see his underlying insecurities. Lynn opens him up and shows us what's really inside. Just when you thought you couldn't like him more, you do! I think my most favorite thing about Cam is his passion and persistence for what he wants. He's not one to give up. And he's got so many different layers that you didn't get to see in Wait for You, since you only saw him from Avery's perspective.
You also get to see more of his family and friends, which I love. Especially Ollie, who just makes me laugh. We also get a little taste of Jase, though not as much as I would have liked, and Theresa. I can't wait to see where their story goes for sure!
I'm really loving this series, and I have to say that I'm am quickly becoming a contemporary lover, despite the fact that I had so many poor experiences with such books in the last year. I hope this streak will continue, and I have no doubt that Lynn will not disappoint!
