Let Me In by Michelle Lynn ~ Blog Tour and Giveaway






Synopsis: LET ME IN

Grant is damaged, selfish, and undeserving of love…or so he thinks.

Jessa is happy, in love, and has overcome her past…or so she thinks.

Grant and Jessa can’t stop thinking about one another since being introduced at a party a month ago. And despite their differences, they can’t seem to stay away from each other either. However, both are hiding secrets of less-than-perfect pasts, fearing what will happen when those mistakes come to light. As they grow closer, they each battle their own insecurities, and neither believes that they are worthy of the kind of love that they both still want. So if it’s true that opposites attract, what happens when the similarities begin to surface?

Excerpt


My mind races as I’m leaving the lecture hall. Pulling my gloves and hat on, I watch Grant’s large frame walk quickly in the other direction. How can your heart and mind be in two more different places? My heart screams for Grant every time we’re around each other, but my mind won’t let me take the step. Make that a giant leap.

The thing that scares me the most is that he doesn’t truly want it. I can feel his desire for me throughout my whole body when he’s near, but then he pulls back just as fast. Then again, the last thing I want is to stay with Rob just for the sake of having someone. I’m stronger than that and I know it.

Before Jason, I wouldn’t have thought twice about breaking things off with Rob and running toward Grant. Fuck Jason for making me doubt my self-worth. My therapist’s words ring in my head from my last session: ‘You have to live again, Jessa. Go, and be happy. You’ve done the work, now reap the reward.’ Dr. Hinkle was the one who convinced me to leave Boulder and start fresh somewhere else. And that’s exactly what I did last semester.


When I first met Rob, I was scared out of my mind, but I pushed forward like Dr. Hinkle said and let him in. Things were so great…at first. He took me home for Thanksgiving and it felt as though we were really going somewhere. That he could be the one and we’d fall in love and live happily ever after. Then he and his band agreed to play Grant’s fraternity party and our relationship started to shift. Dates stopped, the swooning disappeared, and suddenly, I’m being rushed through drive-thru windows to eat and propped up against anything but a bed to fuck.









Review

4.5 Stars

I absolutely adored this book!!
After getting glimpses of Grant and Jessa in Don't Let Go, this book lets is see sides to both of them and learn all about their pasts.

Grant and Jessa are complete opposites-Grant being the all-American frat boy and Jessa is the tatted up rocker girl-but for some reason they have an undeniable attraction to each other that they can't get past. As they learn about each other's past and have to face obstacles head on they learn what it takes to make their relationship work.

I have read all of Michelle Lynn's books so far and this is by far my favorite. I felt a real connection with both of the characters. Their past and secrets weren't crazy stories that you would never imagine happening; instead they were both relatable and definitely made me connect more with each of them. On top of loving them we really got to know the whole group of friends so much more in this book, it really got me excited for the rest of their books!!

This book had it all: romance, love, crazy ex's, meddling sorority hooker girls, reliable best friends, possessive alpha male tendencies, and lots and lots of baby making (well practicing). I absolutely loved it and am enjoying watching this series and Michelle's writing grow!
