Anywhere With You was a very sweet romance novel. I really felt like I was in the story with these characters, going through everything they went through. It was an enjoyable read, the characters were sweet and worked well together. Kaylee Ryan did a great job with this story.Allison Hagan lost her parents in a tragic car accident when she was ten years old. She has been living with and taking care of her elderly grandmother since that horrific day. She became best friends with Aiden, the boy next door. His parents treated her like a daughter and Aiden cared for Allison as his baby sister. When Allison's grandmother pushes her to live in the dorms at college, Allison decides to attend the same college as Aiden.Liam MacCoy is a college senior and quarterback for his college football team. Being such a star athlete and amazing quarterback, rumors are swirling that Liam will be a first round draft pick for the NFL immediately after graduation, along with his best friend Aiden. Liam focuses all of his attention on football, until his sister introduces him to her roommate, Allison. From the moment he met her, he can't get Allison out of his mind.Liam doesn't do relationships and Allison wants everything- romance and a family that she grew up without. Can Liam get over his fear of relationships to give Allison everything she wants?"Allie, I would go anywhere with you, there is nowhere else I would rather be."I really loved Allison. She is such a sweet, beautiful, strong, and caring person. She has been living with her grandmother since her parents died. She has been taking care of her elderly grandmother. I felt so bad for her losing her parents. That is such a tragic thing for a ten year old to go through. Allison knows what she wants, and that's a relationship. After meeting Liam, Allison is immediately attracted to him. She doesn't think that Liam is interested in her because he doesn't do relationships."Liam is so sexy and I know that he is just being nice to me because of Hailey and Aiden, but for this one moment I want it to be real. I want him to want me. So I block out my racing mind and just feel him next to me."Allison doesn't want to be one of those girls that can just hook up with a guy and move on. She wants the relationship with Liam, but she realizes that he isn't the type of guy to commit to her."I want him to kiss me, just this once. I will take his kiss as a token of what I can never have. Liam is a player, a no commitment, sexy football god. I am one of many women who swoon over him daily."I loved Liam! He's a sexy football player, but he's also sweet and caring, and he really respected Allison and cared about her feelings. He was there for her when she needed him the most. He doesn't do relationships because his main focus is football and getting drafted into the NFL. After meeting Allison, he can't stop thinking about her. He tries to get her out of his mind, but it's no use. He feels this connection with her and he's confused on how to deal with it."Do you feel this, Allison? This pull that I'm feeling," I ask her softly. "Please tell me that I am not alone in this ... this overwhelming need to be close to you," I beg her."They spend a lot of time together, along with Hailey and Aiden. The more they hang out, the more Liam realizes he really has deep feelings for her."I hug her tight, because I can't seem to get her close enough. It is at this point I admit to myself that I am gone, fallen. Little Miss Allison Shay Hagan owns me and I am okay with that."I really liked Aiden. He was such a protective brother to Allison ever since she moved next door to him. I really loved how he gave Liam a warning about not hurting Allison. I knew he was protective of her, but he really showed just how far he was willing to go to protect her and how much he cared for her."She is my sister in every sense of the word. Don't hurt her, Liam, or I swear to god... So help me, if you hurt her in any way, I will beat the shit out of you. She's my baby sister."Then there's Hailey. Oh my god, she was hilarious. She was such a great friend and roommate to Allison. I'm so happy Allison had her, especially since she didn't know anyone at the school except for Aiden, and Hailey really stepped up and took Allison under her wing. Hailey knew from the beginning that there was something going on between Allison and her brother, way before either of them knew."Oh, it's so gonna happen just like I told you earlier. I am going to enjoy watching this play out. The show so far has been AH-MAZING."I really enjoyed this book. I loved watching the connection and attraction between Allison and Liam. I really liked that they started off as friends and then worked their way into being more. It was such a sweet story and I loved being able to watch two characters come together so beautifully.The quality of writing was great. The story was well-written and very enjoyable to read. This was such a sweet romance between two characters that had such an intense attraction and connection to each other. I also loved how the supporting characters played such a big role in Allison and Liam's lives. The story kept me interested and I loved every word.4.5 Diamonds for this wonderful story!!
