Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cameron Hamilton *dreamy sigh*. <\/b><\/p>\n

Definitely one of my fave book boyfriends EVER! And while my experience with the retelling of much loved books from the male POV has been a bit hit and miss, I absolutely loved this one! I just finished a reread of Wait for You<\/a>, so Cam and Avery\u2019s story was all very fresh in my head when I started this book (what can I say? I was in the Cam-zone, with no intention of getting out of it :P). And even though it\u2019s essentially the same story, I was still madly flipping pages, unable to get enough.<\/p>\n

Cam and Avery\u2019s transition from friends to lovers is absolutely beautiful. Both hiding secrets, and with Avery struggling to recover from events in her past, there is a lot standing between them, but Cam\u2019s determination to win Avery over, combined with the sizzling chemistry and genuine friendship between them, can only lead to amazing things. And their journey to find their HEA made me laugh, cry and swoon all over again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want you, Cam.\u201d
\n\u201cYou have me \u2026 You so fucking have me.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(yeah, that\u2019s a line from the first book, but it\u2019s repeated in this book and I had to include it because it\u2019s pretty awesome).<\/p>\n

There is a fair bit of new stuff in this book. We get to see a bit more of Cam\u2019s family, as well as spend some more time with Jase and Ollie, and God, I love these boys! Funny and crass, but also thoughtful and supportive of their best friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re spending a lot of time with this girl.\u201d
\n\u201cWhoa!\u201d I stepped out of the shower, buck -ass naked, finding Ollie standing in the doorway of the bathroom. \u201cWhat the hell, man?\u201d
\n\u201cWhat?\u201d He shrugged. \u201cNot like I haven\u2019t seen your junk before.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is it about her?\u201d he asked, sounding like he truly wanted to understand the attraction I could barely figure out. \u201cShe\u2019s not like any other girl you\u2019ve gone out with. She\u2019s fucking awkward as hell and quiet. She\u2019s pretty, but\u2014\u201d<\/em>
\n \u201cShe\u2019s fucking beautiful<\/em>,\u201d I cut in, daring him to disagree.
\nHe didn\u2019t. \u201cIs she worth this?\u201d
\n\u201cYes,\u201d I said.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are some new scenes between Cam and Avery, which I thought was a great treat, and, of course, there are repeats of key scenes in Wait for You<\/i>. But seeing Cam\u2019s reaction to their banter, and getting his inner monologue along with it puts a completely different spin on things, and I loved every little interaction!<\/p>\n

\u201cCupping her cheek, I softly kissed her until her body relaxed under mine and then, shocking the hell out of me, her small hand ended up under my shirt, pressing against the bare skin of my abs.
\nIt was like being branded.
\nHeat roared through my veins as my body jerked on reflex. Air punched from my lungs. She wanted to touch me? Holy hell, she could touch me. I pulled back, reached down and yanked my shirt over my head.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yep, inside the head of a horny 22 year old male, is a very interesting place to be! And Cam\u2019s thoughts are a sensational mix of thoughtful, sensitive, playful boyfriend\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI stood and went to her side. Taking her hands, I tugged her onto her feet and wrapped my arms around her waist. I lowered my head, brushing my lips across her cheek. \u201cI\u2019m serious about you, Avery. If you want me for real, you have me.\u201d
\nShortcake pressed her palms to my chest. \u201cI want you for real.\u201d
\n\u201cGood to know.\u201d I slanted my lips over hers. \u201cBecause, if not, this would get a whole lot awkward.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2026 and sex-crazed (though it must be said – respectful) College boy\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d been taking things slow, so slow I wondered if I could go any slower. Every night I ended up going one on one with myself to the point that my hand was starting to get numb while I took notes in class.<\/i>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Getting to know him better just made me fall even harder for him. He is such a great guy, and remains at the top of my list of most amazing book boyfriends ever!<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth was, if I was perfect, it was only because of her. It would only ever be because of her.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wouldn\u2019t recommend reading this without having read Wait for You<\/i> first, because it\u2019s not a direct repeat, and you\u2019ll need to know the full story before diving in, but this is a fabulous addition to the series – getting us close and personal with the incredible Cam, and giving us a bit of an intro to Jase and Theresa\u2019s story coming up next and which I am SO looking forward to.<\/p>\n

I loved it \u2013 4 stars.<\/p>\n
