ABOUT THE BOOK
My name is Adelaide Edington, and my life was mapped out for me before I even entered the world. Who I'd date, where I’d attend college, what I'd be when I grew up. But there comes a time in everyone's life when they face a fork in the road. Should I go left, or should I go right? It didn't matter as long as I didn't remain stagnant any longer. Jett Stone opened me up to a whole new world. Reminding me that it was okay to find my own way. I could have roots in Willow Springs and still spread my wings and fly. What I didn't expect was to fall in love with the broody football player. The boy I’d known since kindergarten. The boy who I wasn’t supposed to be with—but had somehow become my everything.

She leaned forward and kissed me. Her lips meeting mine, and I swore to fucking Christ this girl owned me in every way. Her fingers tangled in my hair, and I shifted her on my lap, so she was straddling me. Grinding up against me. I nearly came undone right there on the seat of my bike. I wanted to carry her over to the hammock, drop her down, and strip her bare. Show her how good I could make her feel. But I knew she’d been through a lot tonight, and it wasn’t the right time. My hands slipped beneath her sweater and I fucking loved the feel of her soft skin against my fingers. I teased her hard peaks through the lace of her bra with my thumbs and she gasped. Her head fell back as little pants escaped.
“Jett, I want you.”
My lips moved to her neck, kissing my way back up to her face. I kissed her cheeks, her nose, her eyelids, and stopped at her sweet mouth.
“You already have me.”
“You know what I mean,” she said, her voice raspy and full of need.
“Not tonight. Not after what you’ve been through. When I have you, it won’t be after pulling you into the middle of a shitshow, or after you went at it with your mom. But I will have you, Adelaide Edington. And I promise to rock your fucking world.”
She laughed and ran her fingers through my hair. “Oh, I have no doubt.”
“There’s no rush.”
She nodded. “Okay. I’m going to hold you to it.”
“I’m a man of my word.” I placed a chaste kiss on her lips before lifting her up and dropping her back down on the seat. I grabbed her helmet and placed it on her head, buckling it beneath her chin. Her dark eyes never left mine.
“I know you are.”
I climbed on in front of her, and my dick raged against my zipper just like it always did. I laughed. Chivalry had never been something I’d thought about. But when it came to this girl—I wanted to do everything right.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Laura Pavlov writes sweet and sexy contemporary romance that will make you both laugh and cry. She is happily married to her college sweetheart, mom to two awesome almost grown kids, and dog-whisperer to a couple of crazy Yorkies. Laura resides in Las Vegas where she is living her own happily ever after.
This was a really young adult book, all the characters in this story live in a small town in Texas and its their senior year of high school. This story features Adelaide/Addie and Jett are the main characters in this story.
The story starts three months before and this is the first 30% of the book. During this time Addie is dating Alec, a huge jerk but one she loves and who says he loves her. They had a break and he had sex with the girl that hates her and he swore he would never do it again. This part of the book is where she has to figure out who are her friends and who are not her friends and I kinda hated this part of the story. We see who she is and watch her become her own person,
The second part of the story is the aftermath and the path and decisions she has to make for herself. She is very blessed in that she has some awesome best friends who support her: Coco, Maura, Ivy and Gigi. To some degree this story is very chick lit as their relationship is so fun and they are 100% there for her and wanting to lend her a hand. And her sister Clem is so awesome. This was my favorite part of the book.
The last part of the book is after prom. And the events of prom have long range effects for Alec, Jett and Addie. They each have to decide on their paths and what and who they want their future to be.
This is very much a coming of age story for the teens and also for Addie's parents who struggle with their daughter growing up. Jett and Addie have this wonderful relationship that really helps them both grow. I actually loved Jett's mom so much and would love a story with her and Wren. The next book features Gigi and Grayson and I cannot wait. I am totally addicted to Willow Springs!
