Wait for You (Wait for You, #1)

by J. Lynn and Jennifer L. Armentrout

The best thing to come out of publishing recently has definitely been the New Adult genre. It appeals to my age range (20-something) and it’s given me some fabulous new authors to discover. Although, I have to admit, it’s given me too many new authors because, sadly, I now find myself trying to figure out which authors are ones I should be reading and I keep seeing more authors to try and I just do not have the time, sadly, to read them all, though I wish I could. An author who has popped up recently that seems to be my kinda author is J Lynn. The startlit cover, along with the bright green fonts, is beautiful and as soon as I saw the novel on Amazon I bought myself a copy. As with much of the New Adult genre, it was originally self-published and it is amazing!

Wait For You introduces us to Avery, who on her first day of college bumps into the adonis that is Cam Hamilton. Cam Hamilton is beautiful, uber popular, and intrigued by Avery. Avery knows she should keep away; it’s the last thing she needs right now and she tells herself she needs to stay away from him. But Cam is persistent and it determined to get her to say yes to going out with him. As the two of them become ever closer and their friendship deepens, Avery knows she’s going to have to tell Cam the truth about why she moved so far across the country.

As soon as I started reading Wait For You I knew I was in for a treat. Sometimes you just start a book and you just know you’re going to love it (they’re the best kinds of books, for obvious reasons) and this was one of those books. As soon as Cam Hamilton entered page 2, I was lost, but thankfully the book wasn’t just amazing because of Cam (though, for 90% of the book, Cam made it amazing), Avery, too was just so brave. I loved her right from the off, too, and for what she went through, to come out the other side truly did amaze me. But, actually, it wasn’t just the characters I adored; it was the relationship between Cam and Avery. How Cam thought Avery was more than worth his time and attention, how he didn’t just give up the first time she said no to going out with him, how they just seemed to zing off each other and fell into such an easy friendship. How that friendship inevitably went further, because they just SIZZLED. I fell in love with Cam before anybody else had even realised and I just want to know one thing: Where can I get my own Cam Hamilton? Because I want one!

I truly loved this book so much. Wait For You was just perfect in all the right places, with all the best kind of characters (Avery’s two best friends Jacob and Brittany were so awesome and I can smell a sequel there somewhere for each of those two that I would enjoy immensely). I’m actually really chuffed to find out there’s an e-book novella sequel Trust In Me which is told from Cam’s perspective which makes me just want to die right now. I could barely handle Cam from Avery’s perspective nevermind Cam from Cam’s perspective. I’m going to have to invest in a fan. Did I mention I adore the New Adult genre? Freaking amazing. Wait For You is one of the better ones, and if you like New Adult, if you like Cora Carmack, or Rebecca Donovan you’ll looooove Wait For You, I promise.
