Fell in love with the characters

“She’s going to break his heart.”

This book was so good! I had a silly smile on my face after I finished reading it. I even told my husband how cute it was. By now, he understands my crazy love for fictional characters.

From the moment JLA said she was writing about Stephanie, I knew I was looking forward to her story. Remember, Stephanie is the girl that had a thing with both Cam and Jase before they met their true loves.

Steph has moved away from home and close to her new job at the mixed martial art center. She's carrying one of her moving boxes the first time she meets Nick. Nick is not only gorgeous but available. He invites her to the bar he works at and Steph can't resist going there. After a very passionate encounter, they both know the drill. Neither is ready for a relationship. A one-night-stand is the only thing they are looking for except life is tricky that way.

I was swooning all over the place with Nick. He had a way of showing his feelings with actions. He had this hidden sweetness, loyalty, and protectiveness that makes him so appealing to me.

As for Steph, she was a strong heroine. A normal girl with a normal libido. She wasn't mean or rude. She actually was someone I would love to be friends with. In a way, she was vulnerable too and I loved that Katie and Roxy were there for her when she needed support. I'm hoping Katie gets a book.

JLA has written so many of my favorite series including this one. I can't wait to read Fire in You.

Forever With You

It shows true talent to take a character who isn’t even on your radar giving then a truly beautiful, and enticing story. That’s exactly what Jennifer did with Forever With You. She turned one character’s flaws into something relateable, and matched her perfectly with her soul mate. I enjoyed this book for so many reasons, and one being it was unexpected, and with this series, each book is as different than the last. It’s a fresh romance filled with everything that makes us blush in the cheeks, and weak in the knees.

We first met Nick and Stephanie in two separate Wait For You novels. It’s a small world after all! I didn’t much like Stephanie. She wasn’t on my list of characters I would have chosen for their own story, but that shows you how much I know, because Stephanie worked her way right into my heart. We really get to know her, and understand her. Nick was a character; I couldn’t quite figure out, but wanted to. That’s where the mystery. You see; Nick and Stephanie are what I would call relationship phobic. They enjoy one-night stands, and not having to deal with the hassle of falling in love and being close to anyone. Then you throw these two together, and their similarities are jolting. They meet coincidently when Nick runs into Stephanie as she’s moving in, and helps her with a box, no that’s not innuendo. They smiled. She blushed, flirted a little, and hinted that he worked at a bar close by. Stephanie was insanely attracted to Nick, and goes to the said bar. One thing leads to another and Nick ends up at her apartment not to help her carry a box. They have a quick romp, and he leaves, neither of them having any expectations, but you might have heard of crazy Katy and her psychic mouth saying this.

“It’s her. The one you’re going to fall for and fall hard. Oh, boy, you have so met your match. Totally.”

If Katy says it has to be true, right? Yes, Nick has met his match. He knows it. Everyone knows it. It just may take Nick and Stephanie to get with the program, but when they do it’s magnificent. No, I’m not giving anything away, because the story takes off from this point, and you will be glued to the pages. It’s emotional, and endearing. Parts may break your heart in two, but when you get to the end, you won’t be disappointed, oh yeah there’s something super special at the end.

Stubborn, strong, hard, caring, are all ways to describe Nick and Stephanie. You wouldn’t even have guessed how complex these characters could be. They give as good as they get, and you will easily want to jump into the book and be a part of their world. Stephanie becomes that friend who always has your back, who you can tell anything to. Nick is the stand-up guy, who will protect you when you are in need.

Jennifer gives us what we need in this story a part from the sensitive material, we get the sweet, and humorous dialogue we have grown to love from these books, and the true passage into being adults.

Fans of this series will fall head over heels in love, and for me like every book I read from this author, I’m left wanting more, so much more.

Great read

4.5 stars...

This was definitely not what I was expecting from this book...as with most other reviews, I'm not going to go into any detail (which ironically I found frustrating while reading the reviews, but I ended up being grateful because I was able to enjoy the book a lot more). This was definitely different than the other novels in the series, because of how casual they were. And while I liked that everything felt very realistic in terms of the start of their relationship, I couldn't help but feel like it was missing some of the magic and butterflies (lame, I know...) I usually feel when reading NA. But at the same time I wouldn't have wanted it any other way because it was so unbelievably true to the characters.

The beginning started out a little slow for me and I really wish Nick would have been more present (but again, I can't be angry because that would have been out of character). But the middle and the ending...ah especially the ending were absolutely PERFECT. I think it was around 40% where it started getting amazing for me. I couldn't put it down!! I really like Nick and Stephanie together, and I especially enjoyed getting into Steph's head more...she's way more than meets the eye. And FINALLY we have a heroine who stood up for herself, and didn't immediately recant it just because he kissed her and rubbed up against her and she just couldn't possibly be angry anymore because she was just soooo attracted to him... I was very happy when that scene happened. And I know pretty much everyone has said this, but I loved any scene that questioned the sex stereotypes between men and women. JLA handled it very well and it was such a refreshing change.

For some reason, even though nothing crazy happened in this book it felt very unique because it went against a lot of the common themes in romance (love at first sight, men vs women's attitude towards sex, etc...). If you are a fan of the series, you'll definitely want to read this!
