Synopsis:
Evan Allen is a handsome, athletic, southern gentleman who now attends Georgia Southern University for no good reason.After what he expected to be the romantic gesture of the century, Evan is looking at no friends, a year of ineligibility on the football team, and no girl.
He's starting over alone and doesn't know quite how to proceed. Certain members of The Crew refuse to let him face things by himself, taking him under their wing, and it doesn't take the ladies long to notice him, either.
Sometimes life doesn't go as you had planned. Sometimes it goes better.
Embrace it.
Embrace, the second book in the Evolve Series by S.E. Hall, follows the characters from her debut New Adult romance, Emerge
Sunny's Review:
I have said over and over how excited I was to read this book. In Emerge I fell in love with Laney, Evan and Dane. I also told y'all that I wasn't sure how I felt about the ending of Emerge. I was literally sitting there with my mouth hanging open going WHAT!!!!So I was so excited to start this book. I can not tell you how bad I felt for Evan. I mean he did do a couple of little jerky things in Emerge but what guy hasn't so you can totally forgive him. I love him. He is like the perfect country boy. Y'all know how I feel about boys with southern accents and big trucks ;) (yes Darra makes fun of me all the time for this). Seriously, he is such a sweet guy. I am so freaking happy with the way this book turns out. At first I was like "oh hell NO don't do that EVAN!!' but at the end of the day I was really happy.
I am giving this book 4.6 stars out 5. I just love it and I can't wait to read Sawyer's story!!! GO GET THIS BOOK!!!!
EXCERPT:
Laney
“Hello?”
“Zach, don’t say my name,” I choke
out, storming across the lot as fast as my shaking legs will carry me.
“What’s wrong? Where’d you-“ his
voice comes loud and worried through the phone.
“Don’t say that!” I interrupt, God,
how embarrassing. “Can you walk away from everyone and talk to me for a minute?
Where no one can hear you.” My voice is nasally and obnoxious, getting on my
own nerves.
“Yeah Mom, hang on.” Zach- not a
great actor. “Okay Laney, I’m by myself now,” he whispers.
“I’m sorry I bailed on practice, and
I’m sorry to bug you now, but I need a Zach of infinite wisdom fix real bad
right about now.”
“Let’s pretend I don’t already know
what’s up your ass and you go ahead. It’ll give you a chance to vent.”
Alright, so that almost makes
me grin.
“Basically, he just hung
on that bitch in front of me just to piss me off, and it worked!
Seriously? I don’t do that shit to him! Nothing I did was to purposely hurt
him. How long did I absolutely torture myself NOT to hurt him Zach, huh? A long
ass time!” I come up for air, waiting for him to tell me how right I am while I
climb in my truck.
“Laney, you know I love you, right?”
This can’t be good.
“Yes…”
“Then you know it’s with love when I
say this.” Dramatic pause that makes my skin crawl. “Get over yourself! I don’t
care if he fucked her on the field and asked you to film it. You may not have
meant to, but you destroyed that kid. He’s here with no friends, no girl
and a new team. Sound familiar? He’s just trying to put one foot in front of
the other every day, just like you did. You got your happily ever after, so
back the fuck off and let him try to find his.”
Well then. Zach-1. Laney-0.
It hurts, not even gonna pretend it
doesn’t, but his words are honest…and absolutely dead on. It angers me at
myself for being the cause of such sad, but true words, describing the crushing
of my Evan. It’s a lot to think on and I have to do that now, before I cruise
right out of control.
“You’re right Zach. That’s why I
call you. I’ll always get the straight-up what I need to hear. Thanks.”
“I luv ya Laney. Don’t be mad at me,
but much like yourself, don’t ask for my advice if you don’t want it.”
I chuckle, “God, if that isn’t the
truth. You’re harsh, but right. I’m not mad, I swear. Now go coach! I’ll talk
to ya later.”
“Later Laney.”
I hang up and stare out my windshield,
pondering. Zach is right, I’m being a selfish bitch.
