I had the honor of being a beta for Embrace! I knew going into this book that it was going to be amazing! S.E.Hall you did it again lady! You took my breath away. I didn't think it was possible to love a book as much as I did Emerge, but I was wrong.Embrace starts off exactly where Emerge ends. Evan heartbroken and trying to pick up the pieces after Laney picked Dane over him, and broke his heart.  Let me say I'm a Team Dane girl but I love and adore Evan so much. Evan is the guy every girl dreams of. He's the guy that I hope my daughters meet just like him one day! He's HOT of course but he's the best BB you could ask for next to Dane. I LOVE him. My heart hurt bad for him. I wanted to reach in my kindle and hug him and hold him so tight!Evan is just going through the motions when he meets Whitley. He is trying to figure out how he will get through each day seeing Laney and it not crush his heart. Now I will say Whitley was not the obvious choice at first! I was thinking oh no please not her! After we get to know the real Whitley we begin to see why Evan is slowly falling for her. She helps him heal and shows him its ok to give your whole heart to someone again.Sawyer OMG just when you think you love Dane and Evan we get Mr.HOT pants Sawyer <-----yes I said HOT pants!! I love him! Sawyer takes Evan under his wing and becomes a friend to Evan when he needs it most. He helps Evan through one of the worst times of his life! Not only is he HOT, a great friend but he is hilarious! He had me laughing out loud more than once!As we get further into the book we see Evan and Whitley's relationship continue to grow. Evan puts up a few walls though. Dating is new to him. It is something he only knows with Laney. Will Whitley have the patience to wait for Evan? Will Evan finally get over Laney and let her go? Please read Embrace and find out! It is an amazing story of heartbreak, second chances, friendship, and getting through some of the toughest times of their lives!Now don't think I forgot about my man Dane <------ remember he knocked my socks off and panties in Emerge! We get to see how his and Laney's story evolves and I love the alternate POV's. I always love getting to see what everyone is thinking. Dane didn't disappoint in Embrace! He's just as hot as ever and I loved reading about him and Laney being together. We get to see Laney go through some hard times too. Evan is and always was a huge part of her life so we get to see how she handles that.Some of my highlights"A red balloon. I can't believe that's what you picked. Her eyes water a bit and she looks at me thoughtfully and I smile. "I love it."You are the fire, my intensity, my must have, my awakening," I say sincerely. "You're the lap I always want to cuddle in, the lips I want to kiss, the mind I want to challenge, the laugh I want to draw out. Okay?" <------ tears were running down my face! Loved every word!"Did you ever love me? Did you ever mean it? <----- omg that poor sweet baby!! That tugged my heart!"Well, you don't have a girlfriend, and because Jesus loves me, neither do I, so I figure we'll hit K together. Pick up a few honeys for the night, whatever." <--LOL!  I bet you can guess who said that! Love him!There are so many more highlights.I loved Embrace from start to finish! I give it 5 HUGE bright glittery stars!! It is a must read. S.E.Hall you amaze me everyday! Thank you for letting me be a tiny part of all this. I can't wait for more Dane and Laney, and Sawyer! I love this crew! Thank you for this amazing series. Now go read this and love it as much as I do!
