Manda's 5 Star Review:
Fifty
First Times is a collection of short stories about first loves,first kisses,and
first times. I absolutely loved reading this. What an amazing book that
includes some of the best authors out there today. A few of the authors I was
unfamiliar with but after reading their short stories I immediately began
checking out their other books. The subject matter may be the same for these
stories, but each one is different and unique. Some of them might even bring a
tear to your eye. They also come from a variety of genres so everyone will find
something they like and maybe find a love for books outside your comfort zone.
A few of the books left me wanting more of the story. Daylight by Julie Cross
in particular left me wanting to know more about the mysterious lead character.
These
are truly amazing stories by some very talented authors. I will definitely be
recommending this one to my friends. I cannot say enough about this one. Great
job to all the authors! You are all amazing!
It’s Wait for You as you’ve never seen it. Trust in Me lets you in on
Cam’s side of the #1 New York Times Bestselling story.
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 of his head.
Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings 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 shut out of
Avery's life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts
forever?
Manda's 4 Star Review:
Trust
in Me is the same story from Wait for You only told completely from Cameron's
POV.
Cameron
is living the life. Popular college student with and active social schedule and
the ability snag any girl that catches his eye. Until, he is nearly run over by
a mystery girl on his way to class. Cam is completely taken by the beautiful
and mysterious Avery Morgansten. Seemingly resistant to all his charms, Avery
tries to keep him at a distance. This turns out to be harder than she thought
considering they are lab partners and next door neighbors. Eventually Cam is
able to break down her walls enough to for a friendship. Cam knows Avery is
hiding a painful secret and just hopes that she can learn to trust him enough
to share her secret and her life with him.
I
loved Wait for You and was so excited to read the story from Cam's point of
view. Cameron's character is such a charming and fun guy. You can't help but
love him and his pet tortoise Raphael. A wonderfully written story with
beautifully complex characters. .Jennifer Armentrout is an amazing writer who
has the ability to pull you into her stories and make you fall in love with her
characters. I definitely recommend reading reading Wait for You and Trust in
Me. A great story that you will not be disappointed in.
