"Strong emotions and an even stronger romance makes WAIT FOR YOU a top read!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Wait for You
J. Lynn, Jennifer L. Armentrout

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan

New Adult

Five years is not enough to erase the memory of what happened to nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten at a Halloween party. Now travelling miles away from her home to attend college, Avery must now face the world and just hope that she doesn't draw attention to herself or her personal demons. However, without any effort at all, Avery catches the attention of Cameron Hamilton, a charming and sweet guy, who happens to be the one person who doesn't cause her to put up her defenses. In a story filled with heartbreak and lust, J. Lynn enters the world of New Adult with an uplifting story about first love and self discovery. As a big fan of Lynn's work under her other pen name, Jennifer L. Armentrout, I was interested to see how Lynn's take on New Adult would compare to others. Avery's journey is one that will remain memorable to readers as Lynn expertly creates complex, but relatable characters. Lynn has a knack for creating irresistible heroes, but Cam just might be one of her best creations yet! He is arguably the most perfect hero one could ask for and certainly the perfect match for Avery. Lynn's writing is excellently paced and with dashes of humor thrown in, WAIT FOR YOU is a novel that is satisfying. Lynn also adds a suspense aspect to the book when Avery begins to receive threatening emails and phone calls that she refuses to acknowledge because it reminds her so much of her dark past. This pulled the story forward, creating mystery and intrigue in an already strong romance. The scenes towards the end of the book displayed so much character growth that it only cements the fact that Avery and Cam are meant to be together. There is no question that their love is unshakeable! WAIT FOR YOU is a stunningly touching story of first love and overcoming personal demons. Strong emotions and an even stronger romance makes WAIT FOR YOU a top read!

SUMMARY


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've been reading a lot of New Adult lately, and I loved this one too!
