Wait For You by J. Lynn Review

Well, let's start this off by saying I had to read this book on my iPhone's Kindle App.  Sadly, my Kindle has bit the dust (post-warranty).  However, after some fancy footwork & some fast talking (er ... typing.) I've convinced the Kindle Support team to send me a new one for free.  Now, I just have to wait until March 6th for the new one.  Ha cha cha!  Take that!!!

Now, on to the point on this post.  Wait For You written by J. Lynn (aka Jennifer L. Armentrout), is about a girl from Texas who moves to West Virginia to go to college away from her past.  Throughout the entire story, her sordid history is alluded to, but then there are little things she says that make you doubt what you think happened.  Of course, she meets the hunk-tastic Cameron, who lives across the hall from her and is almost immediately smitten with her because she doesn't melt into a pile of goo at the first glimpse of his lopsided-grin-with-a-dimple.  Cam has made it onto my list of Book Boyfriends.  He's hot, he's tattooed, he's sarcastic and witty, and he loves to bake.  This book was written in the New Adult genre I think, therefore there are SEX SCENES!! IN DETAIL!! Glorious!! There are some books out there that are slap full of sex scenes and are full of the nitty gritty details that make you think you're significant other is seriously lacking, however in this book, there were just enough scenes and just enough details that made it perfect.  And from what I read, Cam is pretty awesome in bed.  Patient, attentive, non-selfish. Sigh... Anywho.  Obviously, the main character, Avery, fights her attraction to Cam for awhile, declining his invitation to go on dates for two months, before she FINALLY sees the light and caves.  Enter the next 200 pages of more hotness and kisses and mmmm's.  All in all, I enjoyed reading about Avery and Cam.  I'm looking forward to reading some of the scenes from Cam's point on view, which JLA is so very good at doing. 
Any cons I have about this book is probably just about the editing.  It seems like this book might've been rushed through the editing process and some things were missed.  I can normally look past misspelled words, but there were literally a couple of occasions where the sentence wasn't fully formed or finished out, so I kinda made it up in my head and kept right on trucking.  It wasn't every other page like some other books I've read, so I was able to look beyond it still and thoroughly enjoy reading. It's nice to read a stand-alone novel that enables me to add to my Book Boyfriend list.
