Another amazing read by Jennifer L. Armentrout/J. Lynn!

Sydney is a little shy when it comes to guys. Her last boyfriend screwed her over and then called her frigid afterwards. It's no wonder she's a little timid when it comes to the opposite sex. Except for her best friend, Kyler. She also happens to be in love with him.

Kyler is a player (aren't all the hot guys players?). He's yummy and he's sweet and caring and sleeps with anything that moves. Oh, and he's totally into Sydney. But he acts like the big brother I always wanted/the dad I could've done without. Very protective of his sweet little Syd.

This. Book. Was. AWESOME! I read it and finished it the day it was released. Surely that should tell you something... I couldn't put the effing book down! It was sooooooooooooooooooo good. Probably as good and melted mint choc chip and cookie dough ice cream mixed together with that chocolate sauce that hardens on top. Maybe even better.

One thing I've always loved about Jennifer L. Armentrout/J. Lynn's writing is her characters. They are always so relatable. It's why I loved Katy from the Lux series. It's why I love Sydney from Frigid. The reader can understand her. It's a problem I often times find with authors; they have a good story but no characters that the reader can relate to.

Now I can't really relate to Kyler, but he's a dude, and he slept with everything that moved before he dropped everything for Sydney. I haven't slept with everything that moves, and I have no intention of doing so in the future. Unless it's a bunch of my favorite fictional characters from all of my favorite books. That would be wicked cool...

But at the same time I understand why he slept with all of those. If you're pining for someone you don't think you'll end up with you might want to make yourself move on. I think they way he did it was definitely a dude move. Most girls wouldn't do that. I'm pretty sure most guys with good looks would.

The story was great. I couldn't stop laughing when Sydney got drunk. She was freaking hilarious. Kyler was so cocky it was great. Who doesn't love a cocky dude about to have his ass handed to him by an amazing chick? It's pretty sweet.

Do you really need me to praise this book any more? Get off your lazy ass and buy the book!

Synopsis:

For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love.

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have.

But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

Genre: New Adult Romance

This book rocked. I wanted to strangled Avery several times, but it's kind of hard to strangle a fictional character. Cam was what we all anticipated and what we all wanted: HOTT!

The moment you begin reading you know Avery has had some issues in her past involving a guy, or maybe more than one guy. And she meets mister delicious (aka Cam) the usual way. She ran into him, of course. Books went flying, pens went rolling, and it was love at first sight.

Well, not exactly.

It took like five months for them to get their first kiss. And you learn that Cam has his own secret issues. It's perfect. But I think Avery's issues are definitely worse. I still wanted to strangle her for her stupidity, but she was pretty screwed over.

Now, my favorite two authors in the entire universe are Jennifer L. Armentrout and J. Lynn. They're kind of tied for first place. *grinning* I've liked everything I've read by the, so far. And I have nothing bad to say about any of their books. Just wanted to point that out people.

I think you can guess what I think of this book from the rating I've given it. It was terrible. Absolutely horrendous. Worst book I've ever read. Thumbs down.

Just kidding.

I freaking loved the book. Another hit by J. Lynn (aka Jennifer L. Armentrout... ah haha! You see what I did there). This book was awesome. It's awesomeness had it's own awesomesocks to go with it. Totally, completely, wicked cool.

Have I expressed my opinion well enough? If not, please do tell me and I will elaborate for you because obviously I was not clear in my feelings for this book.

Synopsis:

Some things are worth waiting for…

Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten 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.

Some things are worth experiencing…

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a 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 damn 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 has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface 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…

If you haven't already, I would advise adding this book to your TBR pile. Just saying. This book could kick your butt nine ways from Sunday.
