The dreaded friend zone...
The last place I ever want to be with college basketball god Jake LaShae.
I am losing my mind trying to figure out what this gorgeous and confident man wants from me. I need to break through his walls. What is it about me that makes him not go there? What am I lacking?
When a mind-blowing betrayal knocks the wind out of me, and I think I can't feel any lower...Brody stumbles into my path - barefoot no less, and sexy as hell. His direct and mouthwatering swagger is a breath of fresh air. The feelings this man gives me are like nothing I've ever experienced.
But Brody has a past.
A past that makes it nearly impossible for him to trust me and let us become us in whatever capacity that may be.
Just when Brody and I truly connect, just when I think that finding my soul mate in college isn't a total joke, Jake comes back into my life...and messes things up...possibly for good.

Becoming Us - College Love Never Hurt So Good London Lovers Series, Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Amy Daws, Emma Lysy, Stars Hollow Publishing Books Reviews
This was another free ebooks that sounded really good. And honestly, at first I didn't understand the "London Lovers" part of the title. But after reading the sneak peek at book two, I definitely do. And since it was payday, I went ahead and spent the high price of $3.99 to get book two, because there is quite a bit of a cliffhanger at the end of this one. I loved the story, the whole being friends with someone and them not really wanting more for some reason. And as someone who lives in Kansas City, Missouri, all the talk about this city, as well as other places in both Missouri and Kansas, was so cool for me! Now the little bit of a cliffhanger at the end did, once again, remind me of something that happened in the After series, in the last book I think.
This is the first book I've read by this author. Is a complicated love story about finding "the one". Finley is in her senior year in college, obsessing about her neighbor Jake. She goes every morning to the same place at the same time as he does to get her caffeine fix. Then one day he finally talks to her,she begins imagining their future together. She hopes every day their friendship turns into a romantic relationship. He keeps giving her mixed signals.
As time goes on she thinks he feels the same way about her. One night after everyone is at the club hanging out. She decides to find Jake,only to find him in bed with one of her really good friends. With their betrayal to her,she decides she doesn't need him. One morning as she's walking to the store for her caffeine fix. This guy comes running out barefoot & calls her name. When she turns,she can't believe how this guy is making her feel.
Brody turns out to be an unexpected surprise in her life. As they start to get closer & fall in love. The people & their past threaten their relationship....
I really wanted to like this book but it fell flat for me. There were so many children moments that made me scratch my head. For a couple that were supposed to be in college, I felt like I was reading a high school romance. I get insecurities and trust issues, but let's grow up and TALK about our issues. The ending really made me angry. Had it ended before the last chapter I would have been ok with the ending. However, for some reason the author feels that we need cliffhanger thrown in on what could have been a stand alone novel. I will not be reading the rest of the books in this series.
Becoming Us was about Finley wanting to party with her friends and sow her oats while in college. Finley had this ideal belief that college was the opportune time to be reckless and careless. Finley pined after Jake for a few years before she was granted the opportunity to become his friend. Becoming Us was about Finley figuring out the type of guy that was a perfect match for her by looking in the wrong place. She referenced how she wished she had not been so obsessed with Jake because she almost missed the opportunity to meet Brody. Becoming Us was book 1 in the London lovers series. This story, however, never took place in London and these characters were not from London. Her friend was in London, but not Finley. I felt the author made up reasons to test their love.
It was not easy to ascertain what the intentions were with Finley and Jakes character. It was not made clear until she introduced Brody's character. This plot discovery would have saved me from the nasty comments I had about Finley's character.
I'm so confused by Finley's character. Her behavior was erratic.
Finley's character was shallow and her priorities needed reassessing. Finley had some strange qualities about her. I thought Finley's character was mean and verbally nasty towards Jake. Finley put Jake on a pedestal and when he did not meet her expectations she became jealous and angry. She constantly blamed Jake for sending her mixed messages when quite honestly is was her behavior and tactics that were ugly.
The story contained a lot of useless information not pertinent to the story. The author got sidetracked easily with her rants about irrelevant topics. I hope their is a point to be made by showing this side of Finley because it was not very appealing. She was unstable and was stuck on the idea that being in college meant you had to party and sow your oats. I was not a fan of the testing love tactics to prove they were meant for each other. Honestly, I was surprised that Finley reacted negatively towards Jake's preference to date athletic girls when she too had preferences.
I think the storyline worked, I don't really think the "Jake situation" was really ever completely worked out or I guess I came out feeling more confused than I was before he had his final chat with her. I didn't really like Jake, Finley or even Brody. I tried and I did read the book until the end. The characters just struck me as more "high school" than college. Finley, I thought was ridiculous in her behavior. Brody totally overreacted to the point of being scary. And there was barely any dialogue between Finley and Jake. Finley was frankly, a complete mess or at least that's the impression I got from how the author wrote how she acted.
I know I'm in the minority on this and hesitate writing a review that can't be at least four stars but I see real potential for the author. But after reading tons of "college" aged books, this is NOT how they act or talk. I won't be continuing my journey because I have a feeling Finley is going to be more immature than ever in the next book.
And the words cool and us were used way too much and the whole we don't need to be married to be committed. And Please marriage is NOT just a piece of paper or that certainly isn't the way I feel about mine. Young kids today too many times are pushed to thinking that the only thing that separates couples that are dating and ones that are married is the legality of it all and that's sad. Marriage is a commitment, one you can't easily leave, one you build on and create a life with someone you can see yourself with in this life and the one after.
