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, change-your-life kiss. She got out of a terrible relationship. And now an injury is threatening to end her dance career for good. It’s time for Plan B – college. And maybe 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 kissing the one girl who could ruin everything for him.
As they’re thrown together more and more, Jase and Tess 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…
The Good Things
- I love this series! It’s like a collection of the perfect new adult romances to indulge in!
- It’s JLA! Who doesn’t love JLA???
- Sassy, fun heroine who I would totally be friends with.
- Jase is such a swoon-worthy character that almost meets Cam-level of swoon.
- Plenty of cameos of Cam and Avery (from the first two books)!
- I am just in love with the college setting! Maybe I need to go back (not)!
- It was full of plot twists throughout, so definitely not just a college romance. Also, I love plot twists!
- Lots of cute cute romance and steaminess between Jase and Tess!
The Not-So-Good Things
- I’m still hung up over how perfect Cam and Avery were, so I feel like I didn’t give Tess and Jase the attention they deserved!
- I really started to get annoyed at Jase being all maybe, maybe not at around the 70% mark!
Be With Me is a wholesome, steamy sequel to Cam and Avery’s story. I would recommend this to anyone on the lookout for a great college romance with equal parts cute, fluffy moments and steaminess. However, keep an eye out for those plot twists!
