5 Smooches!

Synopsis

What’s worse than a cocky new guy at school? A cocky new guy with a killer body and the attention of every female at school. Hadley can tell the minute she lays eyes on Caynan that he’s someone to avoid. He may have looks and charm, but he’s also got heartbreak written all over his pretty face.

Unfortunately for Hadley, Caynan has his sights set on her. She’s the one girl who doesn’t want him. The one girl who’s turned off by his charm. The one girl who challenges him like no other. And, though she couldn’t possibly know the truth about him, she seems to be the one girl who really sees him.

But with Caynan, things aren’t at all what they seem. His secrets have secrets and everything out of his mouth straddles the line between truth and fiction. He knows better than to get involved with anyone, especially with his time limited in the new town, but he just can’t seem to get Hadley out of his mind. Too bad for him, secrets never remain secrets for long.

Review

God, I am so mad at myself.  Why do you ask?  Because usually when I am reading a book I highlight and make a million notes about what is going on and my favorite parts so that I can write my review easily.  And, you know what?  I didn’t highlight or take a single note and here is why!  I was in this story.  I mean, seriously glued to it like a crazy person.  Not one single note.  Not one single highlight.  Gah!  I am really mad at myself but all I can say to the author is “Way to go J. Nathan, you made me forget.  You brought me so far into your world that I was living it and so in the moment that I simply forgot about everything else.'” This book is just fabulous and probably my favorite so far from this author.

I took a chance on author J. Nathan by picking up a book of hers one day on netgalley and now every time I see a book of hers on there I snatch it up.  I love when I find an author I love purely by taking a chance.  Not on a recommendation or hearing about a certain book.  It feels like fate when I find these gems because I have since read three books of hers and have loved every one of them but Before Hadley really took the cake.  And this is why.:  The angst!  Oh, the ungodly amount of angst.  The rip out your heart, stomp all over it and throw it the garbage disposal angst.  God, this book was hard.  Mostly because I seriously didn’t expect it to go the way it did.  Because I loved Caynan too much for that to happen.  Because I sympathized with him and just knew that the author wouldn’t do that to me.  But she did, and it hurt so good.  Lord mercy, all of this author’s books touch on subjects that hurt and are hard but this one really was just so sad and difficult and I simply loved every stinking minute of it.

Seriously, get this one right now if you love a book that is sexy, sweet, amazing, and puts your through the emotional wringer.  I adored it and cannot recommend it enough.  Author J. Nathan I love to hate you!  I love to hate you.
