Oh Evan...what a way to come back and redeem yourself! You inspired me and reminded me that even though you're just a fictional character, there are real men out there like you! A true story of young love, the disasters of first love and heartache and growing you must go through are just some of the many reasons that I love S.E. Hall's "Evolve" Series!"Emerge" introduced us to Laney, Dane, Sawyer, Evan, Whitley and more. When we last left everyone, Evan had traded in his football scholarship to UGA and transferred to Georgia Southern in order to be close to Laney, his first and only love and more importantly his best friend. However, when he gets there, he realizes Laney has moved on and found a new love."Embrace" is the story of Evan's need to find his happiness. Starting with drowning is sorrows in liquor, Sawyer and surprisingly Whitley are there to help him out. Sawyer, the resident funny and completely inappropriate one believes his best course of action is "dating" a bunch of girls to get Laney out of his mind. Whitley turns into a major surprise. She really is just a sweet, innocent girl who wants to be a true friend to everyone. Unfortunately that makes her appear needy and clingy.Whitley turns out to be the best friend that Evan could ask for. The scary part is that his feelings for her are confusing. Learning from his mistakes with Laney, he doesn't want to jeopardize the friendship he needs for something that could possibly not last.Will Evan take the chance and see what he and Whitley can become? Will Whitley be willing to wait for Evan to make up his mind or will she move on? Most importantly, can Evan let go of the past and see a future that doesn't include Laney on his arms?If you love NA and thrive on the sweet innocence of young love, this is a series you don't want to miss.
