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…
MY REVIEW:
Well, for the first time ever, J. Lynn, you have disappointed me. I am totally obsessed with The Lux series and when I found out about these books, I was super happy to read them. I got this one on my kindle for 99 cents and it only took about five minutes for me to decide I wasn't waiting to read it. I read it in less than a day. I flew through it... I'm going to start by saying throughout reading this book, I felt like I was reading a combination of Hopeless by Colleen Hoover, Easy by Tammara Webber and Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. So, the story plot didn't really jump out at me. And although I loved those books, I didn't want to keep reading the same thing. I just didn't think there was anything original about it besides the pick up lines and Cam's humor. I was hoping for more and didn't get it. I did, however, like the main characters. I loved Cam. I'm pretty sure he was my favorite character. His humor made me actually laugh out loud. The things I would do to that boy... Avery was an okay character. I just think she should have told Cam her secret sooner considering how she "trusted him" and all. I also didn't like how the book ended. It didn't really conclude anything with her parents or anything with her cousin (not that he was in it a whole lot). I also just feel that their relationship was instalove. Even though she didn't go on a date with him right away, I just felt the relationship moved fast. Overall, I gave this book a 3/5 stars.
