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?
Oh, boy! Trust in Me made me fall in love with Cam all over again and even more so than I did the first time around. That is one sweet, considerate, and super-sexy boy JLA has created there! Just when you think Cam is amazing, you get in his head, realize what he's thinking when he does the things that he does, the way he feels and reacts to Avery, and just his general personality; all that and more just shoots him right to top of the Book Boyfriend mountain.
Probably one of the best things about this book was getting to see Jase and Ollie more. I adore Cam's friends and it was nice seeing their relationships and understanding more about their dynamic. I loved the conversations that Jase and Cam had, seeing some of the depths of their friendship and learning how Jase helped Cam through that rough time in his life. And Ollie is just the right amount of humor and lightness that every story needs. I will say that Avery bugged me more so in this book. I think it was just different being outside her head and I didn't like her how she acted, even though we all know why she is the way she is. It just comes off as a bit much and I have to give Cam credit for being so persistent and dedicated in his pursuit of her. The guy is pretty good.
This goes without saying, but if you've read Wait for You, you'll definitely want to read Trust in Me. I'd advise you, maybe, not to read it directly afterwards though, because it's pretty much the same story (or you could alternate chapters for something fun and different - I'd like to know if anyone does this). Being in Cam's head was all kinds of awesome and, if anything, it helps ease the pain of waiting for Be With Me (Jase & Teresa's story). I really enjoyed this one!
It's Teaser Time!
Jen released the 4th teaser for Trust in Me, which releases next week! Excited, yet?
I let go as she shook her head and was in the process of heading upstairs to wake up Jase’s lazy ass when Teresa came in the front door.
“Cam!” She let out a high-pitched squeal when she saw me in the foyer and dropped her book bag. The pint-sized terror took one step and launched herself at me.
Laughing, I caught her before she knocked me down. “Well, hello to you.”
“When did you get here?” she asked once I sat her down.
“This morning.”
She smacked my arm. “You should’ve texted me! I would’ve skipped my afternoon classes and come home early.”
“I heard that!” yelled Mom from the kitchen.
Teresa rolled her eyes, and I laughed. Somewhere in the last two years or so, she’d grown up from a gangly child into a stunning young woman. And every time I saw her, I wanted to pull a paper sack over her head. Everywhere she went, guys looked, and they really looked.
She had inherited the dark hair and blue eyes from Dad, but she had Mom’s delicate features. Her beauty and small frame were really misleading, because she had also developed mom’s snappy, quick wit. When she and Mom got going, no one was safe.
“I’m going to skip dance tonight,” she said, tugging the tie from her hair. It seemed to have grown overnight, falling well past her shoulders.
“You don’t have to do that,” I told her. “I’ll be here all weekend.”
“Yeah, but I never get to see you!” She pouted, giving me the look that probably got her a lot of things. “You’re too busy and too cool to hang out with your sister anymore.”
“Exactly,” I said, grinning.
She smacked my arm hard. “Jerk.”
Facing the stairs, I saw Jase come down before Teresa did. He was as quiet as a freaking ninja and he came to a stop at the bottom, his hair damp and clothing unwrinkled. He hadn’t made a sound, but Teresa stiffened in front of me. Her eyes, so like mine, widened a fraction of an inch.
My gaze narrowed on her.
Teresa whipped around with the elegance of a dancer, and I cringed when she shrieked, “Jase!”
The pensive look that had been on Jase’s face from the moment I picked him up vanished like a bad nightmare. He came down on the landing a second before my sister threw herself at the guy, greeting him in the same way she’d done with me. His eyes were only on her, and while I completely trusted Jase, even he wasn’t immune to her.
I also didn’t like it when he wrapped his arms around her, keeping them both from tumbling backward.
“Cam didn’t tell me you were here!” she cried, clinging to him like a little monkey. “You’re staying here the whole weekend, too?”
Jase smiled down at the top of Teresa’s head—the head that was currently plastered against his chest. “Yeah, I’m here until Cam heads back.”
I knew in that exact moment, Teresa would be bowing out on dance not only tonight, but also the rest of the weekend. I sighed.
Teresa said something that only Jase could hear and his smile spread in a way that had me taking deep, even breaths. Then he looked up, his gaze meeting mine. He shot me a helpless look, and I rolled my eyes, strolling forward.
“Okay.” I grabbed her arms, physically lifting her away from Jase. “I think you can let him go now. He probably wants to breathe at some point.”
Jase laughed as Teresa shot me a look that promised death and dismemberment and yanked her arms free. I stepped back, just in case she was going to try to hit me again. My sister had muscles.
Jen also teased fans with a sekrit project she's working on:


I don't know about you, but I love it already!
ICYMI, Jen announced the tentative release date for Opposition, the fifth and final book in the Lux series - August 5, 2014. I can't wait!
Finally, in addition to the Trust in Me teaser, Jen has yet another giveaway, naturally!
Welcome to Week TWELVE of The Covenant Series Read-Along. If you want to know more about the Read-Along, sign up for it, and get all the details, check out this page here. You'll find links to all the weekly posts on that page, too.
Missed last week's discussion? You can find it here.
REMEMBER: In order to be eligible for the prizes, you must SIGN UP and then answer the questions via the Google Form below.
Now, let's discuss what you read during the week, Apollyon, Chapters 11-21.
Here's what I thought about the chapters I read so far:
I thought these chapters were a nice set up into what will happen next. It was also a bit of normalcy amidst all the chaos going on outside and after all the "Evil Alex" stuff. I loved watching Alex interact with Laadan and Marcus, reminiscing about her parents and such. There's even a bit of Seth-time thrown in there to mix it up a bit, which doesn't go over lightly with Aiden. It killed me when Alex and Aiden had to face off one of the wards at the gate. Poor Aiden! That guy has got some inner demons he has to deal with. I love the last few chapters of this batch, and the next few of the next batch, because it's just Alex & Aiden against the world!
Here's what some readers had to say about Apollyon, Chapters 1-10:
Borhild says "Okay, let me just start of with Evil Alex. I defiantly don't like Evil Alex. "My Seth?!" Ugh, that's just wrong on so many levels. Though I have to say Evil Alex was quite funny sometimes when she and Aiden talked. And it was heartbreaking to see that Alex was still in there and fighting to get out."
Stephanie Zhang says "Fave moment: uh when Alex comes back of course. And what happened just a little after that"
Be sure to come back here next Friday to discuss the chapters we read and answer some questions for your chance at winning some pretty cool prizes!
Next up, we'll be reading Chapters 22-30 of Apollyon.
