I was so excited when I finally got to read this! I had been wondering about Jaylinn and Cooper's 'relationship' since the first book, so getting to read this book and get some answers was awesome! Once I started reading I didn't want to stop. This is one of my favorite series and I have reread the first three books multiple times! I will no doubt be rereading Let Me Love You also.
Right away you find out that something bad happened to Jaylinn. Because of what happened, Jaylinn and Cooper have gotten closer, but it is also the reason Cooper has been holding back. For a good portion of the book I really wanted to smack some sense into Cooper because he let his fears control him and it caused him to strike out. It took awhile but Cooper did come to his senses, with a little help from Mason but was it already too late? You'll just have to read it for yourself to find out if Cooper redeems himself!
I loved being able to revisit the Cahill's and the McCormick's again. I love this book family! You also get to find out about Kenzie and Hunter's new baby and Mason and Hailey's twins. In this book you really get to see how strong Jaylinn is. You don't realize exactly how strong until you find out what she has been dealing with.
Let Me Love You is a great addition to the Love Series and it was definitely worth the wait! It does end in a cliffhanger, but if you have read the other books in the series you know that they all do, so it shouldn't be a deal breaker for reading the book. I can't wait for more of Cooper and Jaylinn, and I also can't wait to know more about Eli! Who is Eli you ask? Well you will just have to read to find out! But you will love his character!
~ Review by Leah
“Yo man, have you seen Jay?” I ask Eli who came to the party with us.
He shakes his head, “Last I saw she was sitting on the couch over there
with Kevin.”
My stomach drops. Kevin’s the campus drug dealer. He used to be a tight end
for the football team in our freshman year at college but was kicked off the
team after drugs were found in his dorm. He’s from New Jersey too, but he lived
up north and actually went to high school with Eli in Hoboken. Eli said he used
to be really popular until he started hanging out with the wrong crowd.
I drop my arm from around Courtney, the girl I was planning on taking home,
and go to try and find Jaylinn. Fuck, I knew I shouldn’t have brought her with
me but I couldn’t tell her no. All that girl has to do is bat her eye lashes
and I’d cave.
I search the whole downstairs of the frat house for her and Kevin but they
are nowhere to be seen. Panic starts to set in, chilling me to the bone. I race
up the stairs, three on the right, three on the left and one straight back. The
first door opens and some guy is standing there that I don’t recognize, pulling
a shirt over his head. I check the bed to make sure Jaylinn isn’t there. I do
this to the next five doors; all were opened and occupied but Jaylinn wasn’t in
any of them. I get to the last door on the left; it’s dark so I reach around
the wall for a light switch. I flick it on and the room is empty.
“Where the fuck is she?” I roar.
I slam the door shut and stamp to the last door. My heart rate spikes
causing a swooshing sound in my ears, my body shakes with rage. I turn the door
knob, it’s locked. I bang on it, “Jaylinn,” Nothing, complete silence.
Something isn’t right. My stomach knots and I try banging on the door a few
times, hoping someone is just passed out and can’t hear me. After a minute I
can’t take it anymore and I ram my shoulder into the door. Once, twice, and
finally it gives way.
My heart stops, I can’t breathe and my vision blurs.
