Synopsis: LET ME IN
Grant
is damaged, selfish, and undeserving of love…or so he thinks.
Jessa
is happy, in love, and has overcome her past…or so she thinks.
Grant
and Jessa can’t stop thinking about one another since being introduced at a
party a month ago. And despite their differences, they can’t seem to stay away
from each other either. However, both are hiding secrets of less-than-perfect
pasts, fearing what will happen when those mistakes come to light. As they grow
closer, they each battle their own insecurities, and neither believes that they
are worthy of the kind of love that they both still want. So if it’s true that
opposites attract, what happens when the similarities begin to surface?
Excerpt
My mind
races as I’m leaving the lecture hall. Pulling my gloves and hat on, I watch
Grant’s large frame walk quickly in the other direction. How can your heart and
mind be in two more different places? My heart screams for Grant every time
we’re around each other, but my mind won’t let me take the step. Make that a
giant leap.
The
thing that scares me the most is that he doesn’t truly want it. I can feel his desire for me throughout my
whole body when he’s near, but then he pulls back just as fast. Then again, the
last thing I want is to stay with Rob just for the sake of having someone. I’m stronger than that and I know it.
Before
Jason, I wouldn’t have thought twice about breaking things off with Rob and
running toward Grant. Fuck Jason for making me doubt my self-worth. My
therapist’s words ring in my head from my last session: ‘You have to live
again, Jessa. Go, and be happy. You’ve done the work, now reap the reward.’ Dr.
Hinkle was the one who convinced me to leave Boulder and start fresh somewhere
else. And that’s exactly what I did last semester.
When I first met Rob, I was scared out of my
mind, but I pushed forward like Dr. Hinkle said and let him in. Things were so
great…at first. He took me home for
Thanksgiving and it felt as though we were really going somewhere. That he
could be the one and we’d fall in love and live happily ever after. Then he and
his band agreed to play Grant’s fraternity party and our relationship started
to shift. Dates stopped, the swooning disappeared, and suddenly, I’m being
rushed through drive-thru windows to eat and propped up against anything but a
bed to fuck.

Bragging a little bit :) Me, Twinsie Melinda, our friend Penny and Michelle at the IRC in October!!
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Ok before you even think about reading this book you need a few provisions...ready? First TISSUE!! You need lots and lots of tissues. Second, ICE WATER Or a fan or something to cool your butt down after the hot sexy time between Grant and Jessa. Third, no people around and time to just devout this novel. I had major temper tantrums having to put this book down...work! SERIOUSLY!! People wanted me to go to work!! PFT Whatever!!!
Ok so WHY did I give it a 5 star rating? Easy people. It was that good. I am not a big crier...really I am not but this book GOT to me. I was crying and I had pits in my stomach from the STRESSSS and the Angst...omg the Angst was a killer!! BUUUT, I like angst because I like to feel moved in my books.
SO the low down on the novel....ready go....Jessa is broken due to a major jerk of an ex-boyfriend who did a not very nice thing to her. It ruined her and she left to go to a new school. This is how she meets Sadie and then meets Grant through Sadie. Now to our boy toy, Grant is also sooo broken. He feels he was a bad kid because he was a kid and wanted to see his friends VS watch his dying mother. He also feels bad about a girl from him past.
Both of these people want and crave love but both feel they are not worthy of love. The sad story Jessa tells about life after the ex and his friends and what she does made me so sad. It is a true life situation that girls go through in real life. It was dark but Jessa is a survivor. Grant tells his heart breaking story and I just want to cuddle him and tell him he is a good guy and he was a little kid when it all went down......so sad and again a true situation people find themselves in.
Ok the DB's of the books: Rob (shocker) and Emily (GROWLS!!!) Don't say I didn't warn ya!!
The epilogue....OMG be ready for it!!! The crocodile tears were free flowing!!! I am a huge epilogue person so this totally made their HEA complete....sigh....can't wait to see more from them and Brady/Sadie in the next books....speaking of the next book.....Trey is next book and I gotta say I am so excited but the story line with Dex and Sam is pretty interesting as well. I can't wait for them....squee I love a good series.

Bio:
Michelle
moved around the Midwest most of her life, transferring from school to school
before settling down in the outskirts of Chicago ten years ago, where she now
resides with her husband and two kids. She developed a love of reading at a young
age, which helped lay the foundation for her passion to write. With the
encouragement of her family, she finally sat down and wrote one of the many
stories that have been floating around in her head. When she isn’t reading or
writing, she can be found playing with her kids, talking to her mom on the
phone, or hanging out with her family and friends. But after chasing around
twin preschoolers all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after
putting the kids to bed.
