Publisher's Summary

From the author of the #1 New York Times best seller Wait for You

Do Teresa and Jase have a real shot at getting together or will life get in the way?

Teresa Hamilton is having a rough year - she's in love with her big brother's best friend, but he hasn't spoken to her since they shared a truly amazing, mind-blowing, life-changing kiss. Then she got out of a terrible relationship. Now an injury is threatening to end her dance career for good. It's time for plan B: college. And maybe she'll have a chance to convince Jase that what they have together is real.

Jase Winstead has a huge secret that he's not telling anyone - especially not his best friend's incredibly beautiful sister. Even though he and Teresa shared the hottest kiss of his life, he knows that his responsibilities must take priority. He certainly doesn't have time for a relationship. But it doesn't help that all he can think about is kissing the one girl who could ruin everything for him.

As they're thrown together more and more, Jase and Teresa can't keep denying their feelings for each other. But a familiar danger looms and tragedy strikes. As the campus recovers, the star-crossed couple must decide what they're willing to risk to be together and what they're willing to lose if they're not…

Critic Reviews

" Be with Me is delicious, unabashed melodrama. And it works." ( New York Journal of Books)

sexy and touching

i must say Jase is my least favorite of all hot guys from this series. i like and disliked him at the same time. he is such a jerk sometimes, hot then cold, yes then no, wants her then doesnt. wth man, get a grip! i dont think i would give him a 4th chance if i were tess.. but. in any case, their story is really intense and sexy, the narrator does a pretty good job as well.

really great read

really love the story line. I understand that Jace was going through some things but he stated to piss me off but then got it together. I love him.
Sophie I love her voice and will listen to almost anything that she narrates. I will introduced this book to my friends

great book

love love these books just the right amount of everything. I can't wait to listen to the next book

Loved it!

Love all of the series! I have listened to them all more than once! Can't wait to see what to come in the future! Love narration by Sophie too!

Love, Love, Love this! <3

What made the experience of listening to Be with Me the most enjoyable?

Sophie is such a great narrator. Her voices are spot on for what I pictured. The male voices manage to be masculine and sultry at the same time!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jace. Lord how I wish he existed in real life.

What does Sophie Eastlake bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voices give the book an advantage you wouldn't get from reading the hard copy. Every voice is so distinct and well executed

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I really loved the moments when Jace was there for Tess. She went through so much in the book and he stayed with her through all of it.

** One of my favorite parts was after the Debbie situation, when Cam came back into town and found Tess and Jace in a compromising situation. I was barking out laughter left and right during that part.**

Any additional comments?

I wish there was a little more to the ending. I would have liked to see how things ended for them. I haven't read the 3rd book to this series yet, but I didn't think it would have much of Tess and Jace in it since the character re locates. I would have liked to read about Avery finally getting out on the dance floor, and what the result was of Cams surprise for her. Overall this was still one of my favorites. There were quite a few steamy parts, and some things that were said had me gaping, but i still really liked it. 5 stars all around for me!

Angst Lover

If you could sum up Be with Me in three words, what would they be?

Oh My Gosh

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tess. She is so troubled yet she stays so strong

What about Sophie Eastlake’s performance did you like?

As always she did an amazing job!!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I cried and laughed and almost screamed a few times!

Any additional comments?

Every aspect of this story was engaging; from the lovable characters to the quirky dialogue and fell in love with this story! I love how I still got to see how Avery and Cam were doing in this book. It was like seeing old friends!
This time we get to know Jase and Tess’s story. Teresa aka Tess is Cam’s little sister and Jase is his best friend. We briefly met them in Book 1 Wait for You. IMO this book is not as amazing as the first book. Be With Me is filled with heavy drama and lots of emotions. That’s not a bad thing but I really loved the first book. But anyways back to this books review. Jase has had the hots for his best friend’s sister Teresa and her for him for a while. One day when Teresa was 16, they shared an accidental kiss the changed everything for them as the tension between them grew and has become more intense as the years have gone by. Now Tess is 18 and is trying to move on from her experience with her abusive ex-boyfriend and an injury that has put her dance dreams on hold. If you are a dancer you completely get this, if you are not a dancer, the way this story is written you feel it! I love how it wraps itself around your heart and squeezes. So Tess had to come up with a backup plan, this included going to the same college as Cam and Jase until her leg is healed. And of course they end up having a class together so they have to be near each other.
But Jase has a big secret that he uses to keep away from meaningful relationships and the only girl to ever make him question this happens to be his best friends little sister. He tried to stay away but he just couldn’t. They have amazing chemistry and Jase didn’t want his secret to ruin him and Tess. But if it didn’t he was scared of what would happen then. Tess loved him dearly and would have done anything for him but he was so wishi washi!!
Then tragedy happened to a close friend of Tess’s. I will not say as it will ruin everything. But it turns up the intense factor with another character no one likes and sometimes tragedy or near tragedy is what it takes to make you see what is really important. And FINALLY Jase saw how stupid his actions had been. And you finally get the awaited JLA sexy scene, which she is amazing at btw! If you’ve read her books you know! She has a way of making them super hot but not overdone and fake. They are real moments and the way she builds up the whole story before you can get that is amazing!
This story ended beautifully. I can’t wait who we get to see in the next book! I appreciate getting to still see whats going on in the previous books characters too!

Couldn't stop listening!

I love this narrator she really draws you in. I am really enjoying this series, a must read!

Loved it!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

it was an amazing story! and series, now I want to buy the book.

Narrator made it better

This was fairly enjoyable. The narrator was one of the best I've ever listened to.

Slow burn, lots of angst

second listen. decent college love story. interesting change in that the hero keeps pushing the heroine away when usually it is the other way around. I understand his reasoning, but the last time he does it really ticked me off and i felt the heroine should have moved on and then told him where to go when he tried to come back for the umpteenth time. I guess it's a good thing I am not the author. Good series. Well worth a listen. Also liked the narrator...
