Wait for Me

Rate this book
I’ve never been one for relationships and commitment. I get what I needed from girls but that’s where it ends. At least that was how it is supposed to be. Until that one night with Nicole changed everything. She is the only girl who has ever made me want more, and I hate it.

I have wanted more of Jason since the one night that we spent together. He has occupied my every dream and invaded my every though. He just needs to let me in and stop fighting it so much. I’m determined to show him exactly what he is missing. I’ll wait for him, but not forever.

What do you do when your whole world is turned upside down? When everything comes crumbling down around you, will you have the will to fight and break down the wall?

Wait For Me was originally Breaking Through The Wall and part of the Guarded Hearts Series. The story has been changed a bit and re-edited to make it a standalone novel.

Again I liked the book but the ending doesn't really give you much and leaves you with questions that would have been nice to have them answered.

Lessons learnt early at the hand of his father have left Jason with a distorted view of love and relationships, having been subjected to the negativity of a bitter parent, Jason has no room in his head for love and romance, after all, from everything he has been told- women don’t stick around, so what is the point.
Honestly I was so annoyed at this insinuation, really I was spitting chips at the cruelty of his father, and really I could have punched him for being so pig-headed.
So how did that affect Jason, well in some ways it fed an inherent insecurity – strange I know for a man who was more than happy getting what he wanted and walking away.
But would it cost him the one person that he should hang on tight too?
Nicole and Jason had an unconventional relationship, or non-relationship depending on which one of the two of them you were talking too but while he was happy to have his cake and eat it so to speak, Nicole had reached the point where his attitude wasn’t cutting it anymore, it’s time for him to step up or ship out.
Well guess what, scared to death of what was right before his eyes, Jason hits the road. Really I could have throttled him at this point.
But when he gets back, he is about to have his ass handed to him on a plate, because Nicole has absolutely no intension of being waiting for him with open arms, she makes sure his homecoming is the eye opener this runaway lover deserves. She shows him that she has moved on but he is far from ready to let her go. In fact he is damn well determined that the only place she is going to be is by his side.
But their whole relationship, and yes I do mean proper relationship scenario is far from straight forward, they have a wealth of nonsense, meddlesome ex’s and unforeseen issues and when I say that I really am not kidding – I was knocked for six at one point, something I definitely did not see coming but can they stand fast and tall and make what they have work?
Their relationship wasn’t exactly stellar, based on not much more than sex, I was angry at times when they appeared to play so many games that I could have hurled the kindle across the room but they were basically decent characters and I wanted to know what their future had for them, so for me that is a bonus, I engaged and that is always a good thing.

4 stars. I’m really starting to become a huge fan of Alexis’ writing and books! This book was no different. Great book and great story!

Determined to show what Jason is missing, Nicole tries to make him jealous at a party, the night he comes home. And of course it works. Now in a relationship they have to contend with all of Jason’s old hook ups and the boys that wanted Nicole before Jason. Not to mention Jason’s super jealous, controlling behavior.

Such a great series!!! Loved this very much!!

This 3-book trilogy showcases three best friends and how they get their woman!

In the first book, Fall For Me, Carter & Madison find each other at college and from the very first moment the chemistry is off the charts. The thing is…she has a boyfriend. It takes a lot of trust, on each of them, and even then it might not be enough.

In Wait For Me, Nicole and Jason are passionate and dynamic to the extreme. Nicole is so independent and Jason is so alpha that it’s almost like fighting is their fore-play. Even by the end they don’t have it totally figured out. Which is what I love about box sets…..you get to read one right after the other. Each of the characters are at least a little bit in each book.

Fight For Me brings us to Shawn (<——thank you for the traditional spelling!) and Christen. They are definitely the sweet couple. She is just an amazing person, despite her awful parents. They have plans for her to be perfect, act perfect, have the perfect career, the perfect man…..it’s not at all what she wants. It intimidates Shawn and makes him feel like he’s not good enough for her. Will she prove to him that he is and that he is what she wants no matter what her parents think? We also get a little more of Nicole & Jason too.

Breaking Free is about Carter’s little sister, Holly. Boy this girl has it from her brother and her father. However I think Carter is worse!!! Holly is one determined chick - trying to move on with her life. She hates being touched and finds that the only person that can get past this with is Drew. He’s everything she should not want. He’s an ass, he knows it and doesn’t care, he’s totally good looking and probably the main reason to stay away from him: he’s the lead singer in a band. Will she be able to find herself again with him or will he be the thing that finally breaks her for good?

Every one of these stories is a bit different and a bit the same. I love that and I love how they all are in each book. The writing style of Alexis is amazing, the characters are complex and developed and the endings are amazing!!!!

Very Highly Recommend!!!

I am so happy to have signed on for the re-releases of this series !! Having not read them before I have no clue of what changes were made , all I can say is I am enjoying the college aged angst , drama and sex !! LOL
You knew Jason and Nicole were going to have a fun or at least rollercoaster ride of a story to tell. I did hope for a little back tracking to the night they spent together but no biggie. They gave me enough steam to last a long time !! Jason and his family story intrigued me and come to find out Nicole's family story is not much better. Of course we have a couple twists and turns and one major twist that could have done major damage , thankfully it didn't.

Nicole has been waiting for Jason to smarten up and fall for her or admit he has fallen. Waking up to him is a pleasant surprise and it gives her the strength to finally ask what the heck they are doing. Does she get answers she wants ?? Well Jason isn't an easy nut to crack. his father's issues have long been a factor in his relationship woes. Can Nicole break down that wall and claim her man ?? I love them together , they may try little things to get on each others radar but it is fun and lighthearted. No major drama at first and they are super hot together. I love how we get more of the gang together and we also get some lead in for more stories. Can Jason and Nicole fight the odds and have that amazing love like Carter and Maddy ?? I hope so because I know I am looking forward to more from these couples in the books to come.

Nicole and Jason have had a few hook ups. Nicole wants more, but Jason is not one to give more. He has issues with trusting his heart.

Nicole finally reaches the end of her rope and makes Jason jealous enough to stand up and give her his heart. While spending time together, learning about each other their bond strengthens.

Jason supports Nicole during her rehearsals for the play and eventually steps in when her opposite leading man becomes too cocky.

During school break, Nicole ends up spending it with Jason because her Dad is too busy spending time with his new bride.

Jason and Nicole spend time at Jason's house and with his family. His Dad works very hard to provide for his family and to be there if they need him, since Jason's Mom left them a long time ago.

When Jason does see Nicole's stepmom, he bolts, runs and doesn't look back. Breaking Nicole's heart is the last thing he wants to do, but that is all he can do because he cannot deal with Nicole's stepmom.

After giving Jason some space, Nicole goes to his house to give him his Christmas present, but finds he has company. Once Maddy and Carter show up and things become clear of what has happened, Jason vows to win Nicole back. Will Jason be able to move forward after the revelation of Nicole's stepmom or will his past overrule his future?

Jason and Nicole first make an appearance in Fall for me Now…this is their story.
Jason doesn’t do relationships doesn’t do commitment he has fun with girls then moves on at least that’s the way it was….until Nicole.
Nicole is sweet,kind and caring and she wants Jason.Shes had a crush on him for what seems like forever,but is growing tired of him taking and then leaving her.After one passionate night together Jason starts freaking out because he feels things are turning more into a relationship and that’s not how he does things,shes making him feel,making him want more than what hes willing to give so he leaves for the summer.
When he returns she plans to show Jason just what he has missed out on and turns up to a party with a guy in tow…purely to make him jealous…and it works!!!
Now together can they find their way through Jasons insecurities,his controlling and jealous tendencies are also a problem when the hook ups from both their pasts come back to the present.Can Jason finally let Nicole in and will they find their happy ever after?
This is a quick read,I enjoyed it and read in one go.Its steamy and funny with no real angst which is quite refreshing sometimes you need a great read free of drama and heartbreak!!There is few surprises along the way that will keep you reading this book cover to cover.Ilook forward to the next book in this series.

description

The road to love is not always bump free…

Jason and Nicole had a rocky start but their middle and, almost, end weren’t any easier.

Nicole had waited a lifetime for someone like Jason. Right away, she was physically attracted to him and once she got to know him she realized he really was a sweet, good guy. Jason wasn’t looking for a relationship. He didn’t know what one really meant and he didn’t want to find out. Nic was unexpected and he wasn’t altogether happy about his growing feelings for her. Young and in love doesn’t automatically mean a happily ever after when family troubles and jealousy get in the way. Would their fledgling love survive it all?

If you read Fall for Me, Jason and Nicole are familiar characters. Part of a group of friends attending college, their relationship started as friendship but didn’t stay that way for long. Expectations and misunderstandings provide a number of the angsty moments of conflict between the two and there are a number of them. The story does seem to jump from one conflict to another at a dizzying rate of speed but it’s a well-written story with likable characters that I couldn’t help but wish them well. Now if only Shawn would get sorted out….

This quick read from Alexis Noelle is extremely hot!!
It is following Jason and Nicole’s story. In it we see Nicole the Kind, caring but slightly stubborn girl that is feeling things for Jason. She wants to help him see that the things his father tells him, that women never stick around, they take what they want and leave, are not true. She wants to show him that relationships are not all bad and that being close to people can be very refreshing and satisfying.
Have you ever heard the saying ‘If you hear something enough times you start to believe that its true’? Well that is exactly what happened to Jason. His Dad told him on a regular basis from being very young that ALL women are bad, they stick around unil they have had what they want from you and then they leave. Jason believes this and keeps his distance from women. One night is enough for him. That is until Nicole.
This short and sexy read is hot and heavy. You also see a little more of Maddy and Carter which is nice.
The only problem I had with this book is the amount of sex, but I think that is just my personal preference. I really don’t mind the sexy books but there was just a little much in here for me.
It is written well and the story is so so good you won’t want to miss this one.

We first meet Jason and Nicole in Fall for Me, and I couldn't wait to read their story and catch up on the other characters again.
I am loving Alexis' books a the moment and this book is another fast read with a ton of sexiness.

Jason has commitment issues and Nicole wants him to let her in, at the beginning their relationship is based on sex and playing games against one another. But Nicole doesn't want to be another one of his love 'em and leave conquests so she gives him a push by showing up at a party with another guy. Her plan worked and the hook up as boyfriend and girlfriend but you can see Jason's lack of relationships skills when he gets jealous at silly things = for example she auditions to be the lead in Romeo and Juliet and he is rather annoyed that she has to kiss some other guy.

Things then take an unexpected turn that I did not see coming in the slightest!!! Seriously did not expect it and you are left thining can they pull through from this?

You will to read it to find out!

5 stars!

I was given a copy of this book by the author for an honest review.

I originally read this book when it was published as Breaking Through the Wall. Jason and Nicole are extremely attracted to each other the moment they met through their best friends Carter and Maddy. Jason is a notorious playboy and has decided to be single forever! You know the time...perpetual one night stands, never a second hook up. That would be Jason.

Nicole, however, is looking for her happy ever after. She's seeking her Prince Charming and thanks Jason might just be the one. The problem is Jason is a stubborn man. They have one night together...and it's all either of them can think about. Nicole just has to convince Jason he can be a one woman man.

Now true to an Alexis Noelle story there are numerous issues within the characters lives. Parental issues, trust issues, relationship issues...so of course they're going to be working against the odds for the most part. Determination would be key...if they're up to it!

This is what you must find out. Will you Wait for Me? Or will you flee?

I fell in love with the characters. Another great read by Alexis.

Nicole is a sweetheart and has had a crush on Jason forever but she feels like she has waited almost as long for him to feel something towards her. She would wait as long as it takes for him but shes growing tired of him needing her then ignoring her. Jason doesnt do relationships he doesnt want a relationship or any commitment. He gets what he needs from a girl and moves on but Nicole has changed all of that for him. after a night together Jason starts to freak out because Nicole makes him feel and want more than what he is willing to give.

After Jason takes off for the summer Nicole decides when he returns she will show him what he is missing to get him back. And to her suprise it works. But will their relationship last? Can she show him how to love and get over his insecurities as well as his control and jealousy? Can they get their HEA?

Another fun, entertaining book by Alexis Noelle. We got to meet Jason and Nicole back in Fall For Me. I was exited for their story as well as checking in with their friends. This was another fun, steamy, fast read that keeps you entertained from start to end. Oh yeah, lets not forget about that twist that is thrown in there. Holy did not see that coming! Great chemistry and a fun couple to spend some time with. While it seems most of the story was just happy relationship Alexis Noelle does an amazing job keeping this couple entertaining you while you wait for that inevitable problem that is going to arise. Now that I think of it there were a few surprise I was not expecting. I look forward to finally finding out what is going on with Shawn. Especially with all that has gone on in this book regarding him.

Wait For Me is a good read. We meet Jason and Nicole in Fall For Me but this one can be read as a standalone. Wait For Me is a quick short read.

Jason is not into relationships and commitment. Nicole and Jason hooked up and Jason keeps coming back for more but Nicole wants more than just hooking up. Nicole hatching a pretty cool plan to try to make him jealousy. I liked her plan but I wasn't sure if it would work.

Jason has hang ups from the past that keep him from putting his heart out there. Just when you think Nicole has finally gotten through his walls, there's a major crazy twist. I never expected that twist coming.

A Great Quick Steamy Read
I was excited to get the chance to read Wait For Me, as I had first gotten the chance to read this author when Fall for me came out. In Fall for me we meet Nicole and Jason and this is their story. Jason and Nicole are so opposite, he is a sexy bad boy who doesn't want or need love, and Nicole is a high spirited good girl who wants to make Jason rethink what he thinks he feels about love. The two have electric chemistry and you just want for them to be together. The author has thrown in a magnificent twist, that I never saw coming, but you'll have to read and see. I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wait till you read the WTF moment in this book you will do a double read cuz it is just that surprising! Exciting, Romantic, Sexy and filled with Surprises. Get ready for Jason and Nic!

This was one quick steamy read, that I thoroughly enjoyed in one afternoon!
I love a bad boy changed by love and Jason Smith is definitely one! He tries to fight it but his jealous, protective side gets the best of him and he can't let anyone else have her.
Nicole is a sweet innocent thing that knows she only wants him. She doesn't take his crap and smacks him the face with a bit of what he is missing out on.
Then BAM! this book hit me with something I didn't see coming. A curveball that is definitely a game changer for Jason. All I could think was can they overcome this? Can they make work?

ARC given on behalf of obsessed by books for an honest review * * This is a story of opposites attract. Jason is your typical bad boy that doesn't do relationships until he meets Nicole. Nicole is a btight, bubbly girl who like plays, she's your typical girl next door and she's always had a thing for Jason so much so she shares a drunken night with him. Nicole makes jason want to be a better man, but can/is he be the man she needs, can nicole get jason to let her in. These two are amazing, this whole story is amazing with great characters, I hope to see more.

Wait for Me

Really, really good story! Jason struggling with commitment issues, his mom left his dad and him, and he made himself a promise he would never let anyone in, so they couldn't hurt him. Then He met Nicole, and he couldn't get her out of his mind, she was in his thoughts all the time, but he was determined not to give in, they were both attracted to each other, were there for each other in all ways, until something happened? Great story, overcoming issues, romance, trust, hurt, loving their story.

Jason is set in his ways, and he has no plans of changing that. One night with Nicole has him wondering what it could be like to give in. She is the only girl that made him feel things were different. Nicole gave Jason everything on a drunken night and doesn't want to give up on getting a chance with him. When she breaks through to him they seem to be doing great until something from Jason past pops up and can ruin these two for good.

I'm really enjoying this series. That's not surprising since I've loved everything I've read by Alexis Noelle. After meeting Jason and Nicole in Fall for Me, I wanted to know more about them. This was a quick read that kept me swiping pages. It was funny, sexy, and entertaining. It has a twist that you will not expect.

Alexis is a permanent fixture on my favorites list and I can't wait to read what's next from her.

I loved book one. I had high hopes for book 2. I was disappointed. Jason and Nicole's relationship was entirely based on sex and games to get each others attention. It was just not good. I gave it 3 stars because I still want to know whats up with Shawn and I am interested in Holly and Christen's story as well. I hope book 3 and 4 aren't disappointing!

I felt like I started a story in the middle.

There was no background on these two meeting. She's a pushover. He's confused. Silly plot drama that comes to nothing. Wasn't that impressed. There is a lot of repetitive sex scenes if you like that. Thankfully it's a quick read too.

Jason and Nicole

Great story with a plot twist you don't see coming!

Jason is your typical commitment-phobe who thinks relationships are for weak men until he spends time with Nicole. She changes the game for Jason. Sweet story, could use a little more conflict for my liking.

Nicole refused to give up on Jason. Even went as far as trying to make him jealous to get him to come around. I am glad that once he did he didnt waiver he stayed true to her and they found their happy.
