    About this audiobook

    Love isn’t meant to be perfect… Except when it is

    Some things are worth waiting for…

    This is the book you’ve been waiting to read since you put down One Day and Fifty Shades of Grey.

    Some things are worth experiencing…

    ‘Cam stole my heart’

    ‘One of the most endearing, touching and fun friends-to-lovers I’ve read’

    ‘Gripping … the sweetest yet hottest romance’

    And some things are worth fighting for…

    Avery knows she should stay away from Cam Hamilton: he might be the hottest guy on campus but she really doesn’t need that sort of drama right now. Love is best left in the past – along with her troubles. But sometimes, the last thing that you want is just the thing you need…

      J. Lynn is a pseudonym for Jennifer L. Armentrout, author of two very popular ya paranormal series Lux and Covenant. As is often case with popular young adult books, I haven't read them yet but I heard a lot of praise from my friends. So, when opportunity to read and review Wait for You presented itself, I jumped to it. After reading Wait for You I must say I do not regret my decision. Ok, maybe I regret it a little bit since this book kept me awake long after midnight. I could not put it down until I finished it. The romance was so intense and I devoured it with baited breath. So be warned, make sure to have a lot of free time because when you start reading, because Wait for You will become glued to your fingers. Wait for You may not bring anything new to the new adult contemporary romance market. You have probably read similar stories before about heroine who goes to college, has scars from past but some handsome playboy and a group of friends help her to overcome them. But Wait for You held my attention, it's a very well written romance novel. One of my favorite aspect of the book was relationship between Cam and Avery. It was intense, it has slow-building, it has a lot of snark. They kept pushing and teasing each other and I enjoyed every single wordplay. I do not like relationship that miraculously happen, I liked it that they had to work at it. If you are looking for a perfect summer read and you love new adult contemporary romance novels set in college, I warmly recommend Wait for You. You'll get swoon-worthy hero and that happy buzz from real friendship. On the hot sun the pages are just going to melt away... Disclaimer: I was given a free eBook by the publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for a honest review.

      JLA NA books are a guilty pleasure of mine.

      Avery and Cam are so cute together. I adored their friends-to-lovers trope and Cam's confidence was so enduring, I was falling in love with him from the moment he smiled.

      Their college romance has such laugh-out-loud moments, as well as some difficult discussions but Cam really impressed me with his mature demeanour. It evened out Avery's naiveness. It was a nice balance between the two of them since Avery had very limited experience in her young adult years and Cam was the hot shot everyone wanted to be with but had a tainted back story.

      This was a great NA refresher for my smuttily corrupt brain.

      Loved this book. First time listening and the narrator did a fab job
    • 5/5
      Loved this story. The dark and disturbing, difficult subject of sexual abuse turned into a sweet and uplifting story of friendship and love. These characters are sure to stay with me. JLA is a pro of YA romance and she didn’t disappoint with this one, a great,reflection inspiring light read.

      Beautifully written, Cam is such an amazing guy, so you're constantly left swooning. Great storyline, this series is top notch.
    • 5/5
      I immediately connected with Avery, and was immensely curious as to what happened 5 years ago at Halloween. I know that it effects her still and caused her to go across the country in order to be unknown at a new college, a fresh start. She starts her first day by literally running into campus legend, the hot Cam. Her embarrassment and running I can definitely understand, but I admired her bravery by going to her next class at least. As I found out what happened to her, and what she was still facing, my heart broke for her. Cam is so amazing. I loved his backstory, his patience, his "arrogance," his soft side, and his connection with his family. He had such funny, touching and also seriously swoon worthy moments with Avery. I loved also that he could cook, and that he was good at it. He wanted to share his goodies with everyone... and I don't know what it is about JLA and cookies, but there is another great and sexy cookie moment in this one too. Wait for You is an intense and gritty contemporary, but it still has the JLA addictiveness, awesome heroine, setting, theme and I can't put this down if I tried appeal. This is def for mature teens and adults because of mature and dark themes, sexual content (nothing too graphic, but more than your average ya), self harm, sexual assault, and drinking underage. I enjoyed the setting, it is refreshing to be at a college campus instead of high school like I am used to with YA. It felt authentic, and made me remember my college days walking around campus and trying to make new friends. The pacing is great as well, I never wanted to put it down, and not a second was I bored. The bullying and the power of rumors in this one really struck home with me. I have never had anything this traumatic, and when I dealt with cutting and eating disorders, I was lucky to have friend and parental support. But what she went through with her parents, and what they forced her to do, all for the image of their family in the community shocked and appalled me! I loved Avery's journey to healing and trusting Cam, and her friends. I also liked that while there was attraction at first sight, it was a slow and awesome build into love and a relationship. I also really enjoyed Britt and Jacob--they were Avery's friends, and it was a true friendship. I loved how they ragged on one another, but at the end of the day supported each other. They are the kind of friends I love to read about and that everyone should have. The threads of this story tied up well, and I was so proud of Avery's journey to loving herself again and allowing herself to trust and be loved by others. But I can't wait to see what Be With Me has in store for us.Bottom Line: Amazingly awesome, sweet and swoonworthy but dark and emotional all at the same time.

      My Thoughts: Wait For You is another outstanding novel from J. Lynn/Jennifer Armentrout. I absolutely loved it, and I absolutely loved Cam. He is definitely one of my most favorite book boyfriends ever. Avery Morgansten is 19 years old and in her freshman year of college. She wants nothing more than a fresh start away from her hometown in Texas.....away from her family.......away from the people there........away from the memories that haunt her. Something terrible happened to Avery when she was 14 years old, and the fear, hurt, and subsequent after effects from that incident have left her wounded, guarded, and she has a really hard time trusting. These are things she wants to desperately overcome, but sometime old habits die hard. On her way to her first day of class she runs into Cameron "Cam" Hamilton, literally. When she looks up at him, she finds herself face-to-face with the most beautiful guy she has ever seen who has eyes so blue that they can't possibly real, and a smile that will melt your heart. Mr. hotness personified absolutely throws her for a loop, especially when she keeps running into him, and then discovers that she lives across the hall from him. Cam Hamilton is sex on a stick and then some, and he is a really nice guy to, at least to Avery. He has a reputation as ladies man, so Avery is leery of him, and despite his attempts to ask her out, she keeps telling him no. Cam is persistent and determined to get to know Avery, and they wind up become really great friends. He's patient with her, somehow sensing her fears, and the relationship grows over time into something much more than friendship......, but will the past and its memories be more than Avery and Cam can overcome?Picture from Jen's Facebook Page courtesy of Kendall McCubbinAs I said above, I loved this story. I mean really loved it. Jennifer Armentrout/J. Lynn knows how to write romance and she really knows how to create a hot guy, and believe me, she does just that in Wait For You. Truthfully, I think she could write the label on soup can and I would buy it. She's just that good. This story captured my attention and my heart from the first page to the last and I couldn't put it down. I loved the the characters, even though I wanted to shake Avery a time or two for not realizing what was in front of her. She did had some major issues to overcome though, not just with what happened to her, but with the way she was raised in general. I couldn't get enough of Cam. He is absolutely to die for and he was so good with Avery. He has his own secrets from his past also though, but for the most part he was a great guy, a really really hot great guy. He loses his temper a few times, but considering it all, he handled things really well. I loved Brit and Jacob, Avery's friends. They were a hoot. Then there was Ollie, Cam's roommate, and I really hope we get to see more of him in the future. Then of course there is infamous Raphael and Michelangelo, and when you meet them, you'll have a whole new appreciation for turtles. The romance was hot and there are some super sexy and steamy love scenes that will definitely get your blood pumping. J. Lynn never fails to disappoint in that area that's for sure. If you are a contemporary romance lover then Wait For You is one book you won't want to miss. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would most definitely recommend it.Favorite Quotes:"Avery Morgansten, we meet again." He was the last person I wanted to see. I had the shittiest luck known to man. "Cameron Hamilton...hi." ....... "We have to stop meeting like this."...."You keep running over me, me almost running over you?" Cam elaborated. "It's like we're a catastrophe waiting to happen."Cam took a bite of his cookie and closed his eyes. A deep sound emanated from his throat - a growl of pleasure. My heart jumped and my cheeks heated up even more as I stared at him. He made the sound again, and my mouth dropped open..... "Is it really that good?" I asked, glancing down at the cookie in my lap. "Oh, yeah, this is the shit. I told you that last night. Be better if I had some milk." He took another bite. "Mmm, milk." I dared another peek at him and he looked like he was on the verge of having an orgasm or something. One eye opened. "It's the combination of walnut and chocolate. You mix that together and it's like an explosion of sex in your mouth, but not as messy....""Weren't you paying attention in class when Drage went over this and the imagining cameras?" I crossed my arms. "You were drawing the cast of Duck Dynasty when he was going over that." ....."You're actually a pretty good artist.""I know.""You're wasting your time." "When it concerns you, it's never a waste of my time," he replied.Taking a deep breath, I forced the words out. "I had a really good time tonight." Cam stared at me a moment then he smiled. The dimple appeared in his left cheek, and them my own lips responded in kind. "I know." He stepped into my apartment, his gaze starting at the top of my head and making it all the way to the bottom of m black boots. Amazing how a look could feel like a touch and I felt it in a way that put my earlier edginess to shame. His lips twitched as if he wished to smile. "It's not a bad thing. You're going to be nervous.""You're not." "That's because I'm awesome.""Goodnight, Avery." And then he kissed me - kissed me like he had right before he'd left the night of our date. Kissed me like he was a man starving for oxygen and I was the only air he needed to breathe."F**k Avery. You think I don't want you?" His voice came out low, almost a growl. "There's not a single part of you that I don't want, you understand? I want to be on you and inside you. I want you against the wall, on the couch, in your bed, in my bed, and every f**king place I can possibly think of, and trust me, I have a vast imagination when it comes to these kinds of things. Don't ever doubt that I want you. "I closed my eyes breathing heavily. "Well, that was...really sort of perfect.""I'm really sort of perfect he replied..."Everyone else knows that. You're just a little slow on the uptake." I laughed....."You coming back over?" "Always," he said kissing me quickly. "Okay." I opened my eyes smiling. "I'll wait for you."

      Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales.Quick & Dirty: Very steamy contemporary with fun characters and a cute sad story of love and growth.Opening Sentence: There were two things in life that scared the ever-loving crap out of me.The Review:Avery Morgansten can’t wait to get away from home and start college. She was raised in Texas by a very wealthy family. When she was 14 something terrible happened and high school was a nightmare for her because of it. She has picked a college that is 3000 miles away so she can start over and no one knows who she is or what happened to her in the past. She has pretty much lived in a shell for the last four years and getting away from her old life is very liberating, but very scary at the same time. She has a lot to adjust to like having new friends and the possibility dating.On Avery’s first day of school she literally runs into the hottest guy on campus, Cameron Hamilton. Cam is the epitome of your hot jock/party boy. He has the reputation of a being quite a player around campus and that is not someone Avery wants to associate with, but unfortunately for Avery she keeps seeing Cam everywhere. She has astronomy with him and he happens to live across the hall from him. He has seemed to take an interest in her, but Avery isn’t sure she is ready for any kind of romantic relationship. She has such a horrible past that she doesn’t feel comfortable sharing with anyone, and how can you be in a relationship if you can’t be honest. But Cam is very persistent, and Avery can’t help but find him very attractive. She feels some of her walls coming down and she knows that she won’t be able to resistant him forever, but she also knows that any relationship she starts is doomed to fail.Avery is a cute girl that really has a lot to learn about life and love. She has never really been shown much love in her life, her parents pretty much ignored her and she hasn’t had any friends for a long time. She has let her past affect her life so much that she is missing her future. She has lived in a shell for so long that she really doesn’t know how to break down the wall she has built. Fortunately for her she meets some people who care and are interested enough to try and get to know her. As she starts to open up she becomes a person again. She is stubbornly independent and she has a fun personality. There were times when I felt Avery took steps back throughout the book which was frustrating to me, but overall I really liked her as a character.Cam is a very swoon worthy male. He is the brooding dark haired blue eyed hottie that you dream you could meet someday. He is totally over confident, but he really is a nice person. He knows he is good looking and he’s not afraid to go after what he wants. He has a little bit of a temper and is very protective of people he cares about. He is immediately intrigued by Avery and he can’t help but pursue her. He knows that she has a past he just hopes she can open up to him. He has a past as well and he would never judge her. I loved Cam, he really was perfect almost too perfect at times.This story was so much fun to read. In true Jennifer Armentrout fashion this book has some very steamy scenes, but a fair warning — this books sexual scenes are a lot more descriptive than any of her young adult books. There is also a lot more vulgarity. I love Jennifer’s writing, it is so character driven and her stories are so interesting. I do have to admit that the plot wasn’t the most original, but it was still a great read. I honestly had a hard time putting it down, but I did feel that the ending dragged on just a little bit. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to anyone that likes a good steamy contemporary read.Notable Scene:Racing up the wide staircase, I barreled through the double doors and smacked right into a brick wall.Stumbling backward, my arms flailed like a cracked-out crossing guard. My overpacked messenger bag slipped, pulling me to one side. My hair flew it front of my face, a sheet of auburn that obscured everything as I teetered dangerously.Oh dear God, I was going down. There was no stopping it. Visions of broken necks danced in my head. This was going to suck so—Something strong and hard went around my waist, stopping my free fall. My bag hit the floor, spilling overpriced books and pens across the shiny floor. My pens! My glorious pens rolled everywhere. A second later I was pressed against the wall. The wall was strangely warm. The wall chuckled. “Whoa,” a deep voice said. “You okay, sweetheart?” The wall was so not a wall. It was a guy. My heart stopped and for a frightening second, pressure clamped down on my chest and I couldn’t move or think. I was thrown back five years. Stuck. Couldn’t move. Air punched from my lungs in a painful rush as tingles spread up the back of my neck. Every muscle locked up. “Hey,” the voice softened, edged with concern. “Are you okay?” I forced myself to take a deep breath—to just breathe. I needed to breathe. Air in. Air out. I had practiced this over and over again for five years. I wasn’t fourteen anymore. I wasn’t there. I was here, halfway across the country.Two fingers pressed under my chin, forcing my head up. Startling, deep blue eyes framed with thick, black lashes fixed on mine. A blue so vibrant and electric, and such a stark contrast against the black pupils, I wondered if they were real. And then it hit me.A guy was holding me. A guy had never held me. I didn’t count that one time, because that time didn’t count for shit, and I was pressed against him, thigh to thigh, my chest to his. Like we were dancing. My senses fried as I inhaled the light scent of cologne. Wow. It smelled good and expensive, like his…Anger suddenly rushed through me, a sweet and familiar thing, pushing away the old panic and confusion. I latched onto it desperately and found my voice. “Let. Go. Of. Me.”Blue eyes immediately dropped his arm. Unprepared for the sudden loss of support, I swayed to the side, catching myself before I tripped over my bag. Breathing like I’d just ran a mile, I pushed the thick strands of hair out of my face and finally got a good look at Blue eyes.Sweet baby Jesus, Blue Eyes was… He was gorgeous in all the ways that made girls do stupid things. He was tall, a good head or two taller than me and broad at the shoulders, but tapered at the waist. An athlete’s body—like a swimmer’s. Wavy black hair toppled over his forehead, brushing matching eyebrows. Broad cheekbones and wide, expressive lips completed the package created for girls to drool over. And with those sapphire-colored eyes, holy moley… Who thought a place named Shepherdstown would be hiding someone who looked like this?And I ran into him. Literally. Nice. “I’m sorry. I was in a hurry to get to class. I’m late and…”FTC Advisory: J. Lynn provided me with a copy of Wait for You. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
