Teresa Hamilton is having a rough year—she’s in love with her big brother’s best friend, but he hasn’t spoken to her since they shared a truly amazing, mind-blowing, change-your-life kiss. She got out of a terrible relationship. And now an injury is threatening to end her dance career for good. It’s time for Plan B – college. And maybe a chance to convince Jase that what they have together is real.
Jase Winstead has a huge secret that he’s not telling anyone. Especially not his best friend’s incredibly beautiful sister. Even though he and Teresa shared the hottest kiss of his life, he knows that his responsibilities must take priority. He certainly doesn’t have time for a relationship. But it doesn’t help that all he can think about kissing the one girl who could ruin everything for him.
As they’re thrown together more and more, Jase and Tess can’t keep denying their feelings for each other. But a familiar danger looms and tragedy strikes. As the campus recovers, the star-crossed couple must decide what they’re willing to risk to be together, and what they’re willing to lose if they’re not…

Review
Oh my god. That’s about all I can say right now. So… give me a moment okay?
…a few minutes later…
She’s done it again, damnit. Why does she feel the need to do that to me every time? Jennifer certainly knows how to make me feel all kinds of things with just her words. This is one amazing sequel to an amazing book. And yes, we do see Cam and Avery again!
Be With Me is about Teresa Hamilton, Cam’s sister. She’s having a rough year. An injury to her knee forced her to go to college and put her dance carreer on hold, maybe even end it and she’s in love with her brother’s best friend. But he hasn’t spoken to her since that one kiss last year after she got out of a terrible relationship. And Jase has a secret of his own.
So I’ll start with the one tiny bad thing in this book. I found it hard to get into. At first I didn’t really get the relationship between Teresa and Jase because I don’t feel like I had that introduction to how they feel and all that. Maybe if there had been a prologue or something with that kiss, that might have been better. But it got better and once I hit the 30% mark, I was completely in the story. Seeing as how I read it all in one sitting, I’d say that is just one very very tiny thing. There are a few twists and turns I did not see coming at all and some of them broke my heart and some of them explained a lot. And yes, we see Cam and Avery again. He is Teresa’s brother after all. But we do get to see progress in their relationship too. View Spoiler »
I LOVED Teresa. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind, to say what needs to be said even though she knows it’ll hurt her too. And she’s so strong. She has been through and still is going through so much and she keeps her head up high. And Jase doesn’t make it any easier. He can be such an idiot. I seriously wanted to slap him sometimes. But then you get to know why he’s acting that way and then he acts really sweet and there’s only one way to describe Jase when he’s at his best behavior and it’s something Teresa said near the beginning of this book.
Ovaries go boom.
Indeed. So. Now that that’s out of the way. I loved this book a lot and I totally got sucked into the romance and I really want to know what’ll happen next with Teresa and Jase and Cam and Avery. So if you loved the first book, just read this one too. You’ll love it. Oh and can we get this story from Jase’s point of view too? That would be awesome.
