I think of all the books in the Wait for You series, this was one where I felt for the heroine right away. Calla had her friends at Shepherd, but they were all paired off and he had just found out the guy she had a crush on has a girl. Then to make matters worse, she discovers her mother had gotten her a hundred thousand dollars in debt and unable to pay her upcoming semester tuition. That was enough to make me want to put my arms around the poor girl and give her a huge hug. And things don’t get much better for Calla when she goes back home to figure out just what he mother has done.
Calla is a pretty strong girl. Probably stronger than the previous heroines of this series, mainly because she tries to fight for herself right from the beginning. Things are pretty bad and I think anyone else would have had a moment (or a hundred) of feeling sorry for themselves. But Calla keeps fighting. Against her mother, thugs and sometimes even herself to get a little bit of happiness for herself.
There were a lot of things to love about Jax (especially the way he uses ‘Honey’ all the time). He wanted to protect Calla and was there to help her when she needed it, which made him hard to resist. But it was how he saw Calla, how he loved all of her, that made it easy to forgive him for anything he might have done wrong.
Another great read by J. Lynn/Jennifer Armentrout. If you haven’t read any of the books in this series, definitely pick them up. They are all worth it.
