RE-READ: 06/17/20it's been forever since i last read thismy rating changed to 3 starsalso re reading this review is making me realize that i, in fact, have improved.2016 me was...not good at writing them LMAO12/26/16: EDITI'm rating this 4 stars because I'm realizing I'm not enjoying the rest of the books and I'm giving them low ratings. As of now, this is my favorite and I've given 1 and 2 stars to the next books, so this has to be 4 stars. Leaning back against Cam's chest, I tipped my head b...

I am conducting what I'm shelving as a "New Adult (NA) Experiment". I'm going to work my way through some of the popular New Adult books and see if I can weed out the crap and hopefully find some surprising gems. Here's hoping!I'm almost tempted to just give Wait for You 5 stars because I haven't laughed this much at a book since I don't even remember when. I'm laughing while writing this review (there's no one else in the house, so that's kinda creepy I guess) and it's really not funny, to be h...

“You want to say yes, but you’re just not ready.”My jaw dropped.“It’s okay.” His grin turned cocky. “I’m a lot to handle, but I can assure you, you’ll have fun handling me.”This book =>A perfect mix of swoony, wonderful, romantic, heartbreaking, angsty, dramatic and beautiful <3 Me, while reading the bookFrom page one, I've had the goofy smile on my face, and my grinning just got bigger and bigger till my cheeks hurt :D I loved it from star to finish, the romantic parts especially cause I'm a hu...

4.5 stars -- He had me at sweetheart ♥This book was JUST what I needed right now!!I totally understand why everyone is raving about it! I was swooning from the first page and didn’t want to put it down till I finished it. Not to mention that amazing fact that it is a stand-alone!!! A completed romance with a happy ending that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy. I LOVED IT!! Now, while I fell into insta-love with this book, I very much appreciated that the characters didn’t. I loved that their re...

1.5 starsDrinking game! Every time something cliche happens, take a shot. Warning: alcohol poisoning is a real risk and you should consult your doctor before reading. Cliche #1 Avery trips on her first day of school and is saved by a cute guy, aka, Cam. He's also kind of a douche. Very shoujo manga-ish.Cliche #2Avery and Cam are in the same class.Cliche #3Did I mention they're also partners for a school project?Cliche #4And are neighbors in their dorm. "I live here."I gaped at him. The whole h...

5 Stars!Wait For You is one of books that I just couldn’t put down. Once I started, I was a goner. The main reason for that??? This guy-CAM Sweet baby Jesus, Blue Eyes was...He was gorgeous in all the ways that made girls do stupid things. Wait For You was a story about a girl named 

AVERY Whoever came up with the saying you can’t escape your past really knew what they were talking about. Avery has not had an easy life. She is nineteen years old, and living away from her family. Awa...

Review posted at: Swept Away By Romance Charming 4 1/2 stars!I very much enjoyed reading this book. It was one of the most endearing, touching, and fun friends-to-lovers tropes I've read in a long time. I adored and swooned over Cam (Oh, how I LOVED him), sympathized with and understood Avery, and felt they shined brilliantly together. I did feel this book leaned more toward Young Adult in content than New Adult, but that's why it appealed to me. There was a freshness and youthfulness to this b...

i need to keep reminding myself that if i had read this when it first came out and i had none of JLAs other books to compare it to, i probably would have really enjoyed this more (which is why im rounding up).because this story definitely feels dated. and some of the storytelling is… a choice. theres some blatant stereotyping going on when it comes to certain characterisation and some of the dialogue is pretty cringey. but i did enjoy this, for the most part. i liked how cam is a genuinely a goo...

An extremely sexy, entertaining read!Every aspect of this story was engaging; from the lovable characters to the quirky dialogue and superb writing...I fell head-over-heels in literary love with this story!Avery Morgansten has a secret—one that has her fleeing to the other side of the country to escape. Her cold-hearted parents are a despicable source of authority and Avery enters her new college completely alone...that is, until her sexy 'run-in' with Cam. People got out of the way for C...

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/WARNING: I HAAAAAAAAAAAAATED THIS BOOK WITH A FIERY PASSION. IF YOU LOVED IT, YOU PROBABLY WON’T LIKE THIS REVIEW. ALSO – THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.Still here? Alrighty then . . . On motherf-ing page THREE we have our meet/cute where the girl literally runs into the boy and I discover this story will be one of my most hated of all tropes – a “superbadawful happened long long ago that new love interest will magically fix with all of hi...

**** If it is possible to spoil a story that has practically no mentionable plot and no mystery, but makes do with a certain set of formulaic elements (see farther below), spinning them in circles to make the experience last longer, then be warned: Spoilers line the rocky road ****I am seldom that outspoken, but in this case I just have to say it aloud - probably all the 'fucks' and 'shits' the characters flung about celebrating their verbal New Adult freedom rubbed off on me: In my opinion "Wai...

I’m dusting off that seldom used fifth star for this one – it really is that good! I'm doing happy Jumping Jacks with glittery pom poms!!I think it’s fair to say that my relationship with New Adult Romance has been rocky, at best. It promised me so much but, after a few casual and fun dates, I got burned by a bad book, totally betrayed by a hero that promised to be gorgeous, alpha and protective but ended up being a hero that I just wanted to throw rocks at and I retreated to lick my wounds so,

4.5 swoonworthy stars! New-Adult romance at its best!My Cameron and Avery:Avery is starting college, far away from her home, ever critical parents and her past. She wants just one single thing - to start over and have a normal life with noone knowing what had happened to her five years ago when she was only fourteen and what made her closed and uncomfortable around others. But what she is not expecting is Cameron - popular, extremely good looking and real charmer who is determined to get to know...

4.25 StarsA SLOW BURN TO THE NTH DEGREE I love the NA genre and have been wanting to read something by this author. As soon as I started the first chapter, I knew I was in for a treat.The MC's, Avery and Cam, were exactly what I hoped for. Avery is sassy, determined and says whatever she feels like, but is emotionally flawed. Cam is adorably full of himself, fun to be around, and oh so confident and sinfully gorgeous. Girls clamor to be with Cam, but he sets his sights on the red-headed beauty,

Can't wait to read contemporary by JLA!
