Two for Tuesday

Wait for You (Wait for You, #1)Trust in Me (Wait for You, #1.5)
Wait for You and Trust in Me are the first two books in J. Lynn (a Jennifer L. Armentrout pen name) series Wait for You.  They are the same story but Wait for You is from Avery's perspective and Trust in Me is from Cam's.

Wait for You:
Traveling Thousands of miles from home to enter college was the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgensten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago- an event that forever changed her life.  All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe- please God- make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace.  The one thing she didn't need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she's building for herself.

Somethings are worth experiencing...
Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her.  She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that dimple that's just so...so lickable.  Getting involved with him is dangerous but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

Some things should never be kept quiet...
But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she's has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurfaces this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

And some things are worth fighting for...

Trust in Me:
Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women.  But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life- literally- he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues.  But Cam's not ready to give up.  He can't get the feisty and intriguing girl out his head

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feeling Cam knows she has for him.  Will persistence (and some delicious homemade cookies) help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shit out Avery's life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?

The Breakdown:
1. So I read this two back to back, which I think worked out really well.  I just going to review them together since they are the same story from different perspectives.  I really love this concept once I started reading Trust in Me. It is nice to get both of the main characters thoughts and reactions to situations, and to know what they think about and talk about with their friends when they are apart.

2. Wow, Avery is one amazing young woman.  She has been through so much and survived. It is totally understandable her hesitancy with Cam in not only starting a relationship but in trusting him.

3. I want a Cam Hamilton! He is sweet, protective, patient, romantic, the boy can bake, and oh yeah, he is super hot. Okay, so his protective streak has gotten him in trouble in the past, but once you know the story it is totally understandable.

4. J. Lynn does an excellent job with her supporting characters in these two books. Avery and Cam's friends are fun and supportive, and I want of them. (Good thing the third book is Cam's best friend Jase.)  Cam's family is awesome, who wouldn't like them.  Avery's family on the other hand, not so much.
