Wait for You (Wait for You, #1)

by J. Lynn and Jennifer L. Armentrout

The New York Times number 1 New Adult bestseller

Some things are worth waiting for...

Travelling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape an event that changed her life forever. All she needs to do is keep her head down - the one thing she didn't plan on was capturing the attention of the only guy who could shatter her defences.

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is everywhere, with his charm, his banter, and that dimple that's just so... so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but ignoring their simmering tension is impossible...

When Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls, she realises that someone from her past is refusing to let her go. When the devastating truth comes out, will Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

If it weren't for my surgery, I think I would have finished this book much quicker. Every time I sat down to read it before surgery I was sucked in and put it down under protest. After surgery it was still good - but medicated and uncomfortable, nothing held my attention that long, even if I stayed awake, which I normally didn't.

The relationship between Avery and Cam is really great. It's a slow burn romance, with lots of anticipation and frustration as Avery stumbles through her uncertainties and fears, and Cam patiently waits for her *sigh* He's everything a male hero should be (in this kind of book at least). I really enjoyed the friendships and family dimension as well.

This book does deal with rape and I think it did it well. It sucks to see parents in a villainous role, but their portrayal is believable and gives great commentary on our victim-shaming rape culture.

I look forward to reading the other books in the series, I think I know who the focus will shift to for each book (there are three, I believe) and I'm excited for their romances.
