Review: Be With Me by J. Lynn

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…

This book was received from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Every single thing that Jennifer L. Armentrout writes, I absolutely love. This of course did not change with this amazing NA story.

Tess is a strong heroine. She has just been through a horrible time after being injured. She is not allowed to dance, which I can imagine is like losing a part of her soul. That is until Jase comes along… Tess has always held a torch for him, despite him being her brother's best friend.

Jase is a great guy. His secret was quite shocking to me and I felt so much for him. He is gorgeous and funny and had a couple cute quirks that made him wonderful. I understood his reluctance to be in a relationship. I totally couldn’t blame him. And I definitely loved when he finally manned up!

The plot was most definitely different than a normal new adult plot and I loved it. As per JLA standards, this book was sexy, sexy, sexy. I had to fan myself multiple times. But what else could I expect from the queen of steam?

I loved seeing Cam, as a protective big brother, and Avery, and I can’t wait for Calla’s book!

Favorite Swoon-worthy Quote: Jase lowered his head and his mouth was on mine before I even realized what was happening. My brain was way behind what was going on, but he kissed me – he was kissing me. His lips were on mine, and there was nothing soft and sweet about this kiss. I was branded in seconds.

Rating: 5/5 Tar Heels!
