This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance
After a mind blowing kiss, Teresa Hamilton realized her true feelings for her brothers best friend Jase Winstead. But this past year, he has practically ignored her. But with Teresa recovery from an injury. Teresa has dreamed of being a professional dancer, but with her injury, she has no idea if she will fully recover or not. But just in case she doesn't she will need a backup plan, so she decides to go to college with her brother. But after one meeting of running into Jase on his family's farm and meeting his younger brother, their relationship and friendship slowly becomes rekindled. But Teresa can't forget the power of that one kiss or the desire they feel for each other currently even though Jase is in denial. But when she learns the truth of Jase and his past, her love accepts him for who he is and everything that comes with him. But right when their relationship is going strong, Jase's fears and other complications may prevent them from holding onto the love they feel for each other.
Be With Me is the second novel of this wonderful series and I was thrilled to finally get a copy of Teresa and Jase's story. After reading all the other books so far, I have been waiting for this loan to become available from my library. I just adored these two together. It was interesting to see them finally accept what they feel for each other. From the first book, we sense the chemistry between them. Then in later books we see the type of connection they have together. So I was so interested in reading their story. I truly loved how they were together. It starts off with Teresa traveling with her brother to visit Jase's farm. At first, Teresa isn't super impressed with it hehe But she quickly falls in love with it, his parents and most especially his younger brother. What I loved seeing at this point, is the relationship between brothers. I almost wanted to cry in this scene, because it was so charming and its obvious how close these two are (and later in the book some truths are revealed to show the deeper reason behind it). But man Jase is in some serious denial at this point in the book. He thinks they can just go back to being platonic friends, even though he knows that they have powerful chemistry and you can't just sweep it under the rug. Teresa is pretty firm on her feelings for him and they get into quite an argument. Then we see Jase when he gets drunk and boy was he funny and honest too. Slowly these two start to rekindle their friendship, and Teresa is firm with Jase about her true feelings and can't just be his friend without more. Teresa was a fabulous character, and I admired her in many ways. She is strong willed, stubborn and isn't ashamed of what she feels for Jase. Jase on the other hand, took more time for me to fall in love with him. I never truly understood why he was so against a relationship with Teresa. Yes we have the whole forbidden love thing with Jase being Teresa's brothers best friend however it wasn't the real reason behind it. Eventually Jase does come to terms with what they have, but man I really had to be in a forgiving nature toward the end there because I wanted to strangle him in how he treats Teresa there. But he eventually comes to his senses and embraces what they have together. There are other aspects to the story that really built up to the climax and it was so well written. I did feel a bit dissatisfied about the end though, I felt like not all of it was tied up as I would have liked especially where it concerns Jase's brother. I would have liked to see more happen there. But a very enjoyable and hard to put down read that put a smile on my face.
oh boy...can I just say I have so much love for this author!! she is simply wonderful and I love her voice and the way she portrays the perfect tones of the story. She connects to the listener very well and I can't wait to find more books that she narrates.
Very similar to the other covers in the series, not my favorite though. But I like the almost kiss pose. :)
Be With Me is a stunning romance that takes the reader from overcoming forbidden boundaries, danger and a murder mystery with some spicy romance to make for a memorable read!!
