To Be Your Girl (To Be Yours Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 1,211 ratings

Staying away from Cade Renner is easier said than done—because he’s my brother’s best friend and my new roommate. I know he’s trouble when I meet him—half naked, covered in tattoos, and kicking an anonymous girl out of his bed. I’m not supposed to become his friend, and I definitely shouldn’t be thinking about him at night. Especially after I meet Adam—he is the perfect gentleman and he wants to be my boyfriend. To him, I am a sweet, innocent girl not to be defiled. But I’m done being innocent. This is Book 1 in the TO BE YOURS series and can be read as a standalone.

    Wow lady! It rocked me. A strong Female Character, that puts her foot down, a male character that is as Alpha as needed. Both real, every day people, who are vulnerable and try to be the best they can.

    Spicy and sweet, one the best books I’ve read in a while.

    I’m not really into romance or erotica novels but I decided to give this one a shot.
    The sexual scenes are super steamy and written well. The rest of the story is decently entertaining but falls flat in a few areas. But that didn’t make me want to put the book down. However, more attention to the story other than the sex scenes (which most of the detail goes), might be beneficial. Because there is a lot of parts in the story that were great.
    I will say, Cade was my favorite character. There’s a moment when he is really aware and gentle towards Haley-due to her past experiences with men-and he helps her feel very safe with him. It made me cry. That was my favorite part of the entire book. Hand clap to the author for that tentative moment-it was beautiful and heart warming.
    After the on and off with Cade and Haley, we are left with a very unsatisfactory ending, in my personal opinion. I think there could have been much more depth with the characters journey, to help the ending be more solid. Cade, for me at least, is why I was reading the story. His character is interesting as he was often surprising the reader with the twists and turns of his personality.
    I think a book from his perspective would be really neat, and not just his sexanigans.
    Overall, it’s a good and quick read.
    If this is the authors first novel, it’s a great first.

    A note to whom it concerns: I noticed a handful of typos and sentences that were not edited correctly.

    The story is told completely through Haley's POV. I preferred that. She starts off dating Adam who seems nice, but we soon find out that's not the case. For some inexplicable reason she forgives him and takes him back. That's where the story started to turn for me. His behavior was inexcusable but she didn't care and then things happen between them the exact way I thought they would.

    Now I know women are going to swoon over Cade, but as a guy I have to say that he was pretty awful too. First he befriends her and I'm thinking okay. Then she tries to take it further and he literally screams and cusses at her to push her away. That's just awful and unnecessary. Then when her brother finds out he just walks away from her without even putting up a fight even though she is screaming and crying for him. He simply leaves her without even looking back. He starts dating someone else immediately. This is where I lost all respect for him. Multiple times when he doesn't get what he wants from Haley he hooks up with someone else. Trash. Something happens and he tries to get her back. She refuses and I'm relieved because she is right in her thinking because if he felt about her the way he says he does he never would have treated her the way he did. She leads him on a little bit before ultimately ending it. Some time passes and ofcourse they have a HEA, but it was rushed and very anticlimactic.

    Ultimately I enjoyed the story but there were a lot of decisions made by the author that didn't sit well with me. Her brother thinking he's the hate keeper of her vagina? Nope. Trying to believe she's head over heels for Cade when she practically drools over every guy she's introduced to? Nope. One guy she gets so lost in staring at that she literally has to be shaken out of it. I understand that people in love will still find other people attractive but she goes on too much about it and it adds nothing to the story and only lessens the connection I feel between Cade and Haley. The fact that they spend as much time dating other people as they do each other is also not helping me buy that they are in love. Her staying celibate while their apart but him continuing to plow through girls? Nope. I may check out more by this author but I was disappointed that this turned out to be about 2 immature people who were seemingly obsessed with sex and no real connection.

    This story did the nearly impossible, it made me cry. No really, I read a tremendous number of books, this is the fourth one today! I still have time, probably, for one more.
    And I am a freelance copy editor and proofreader, but this story was pretty clean, at least in that way!.
    Kudos!!

    I am a long time avid reader, but this is the first time I have written a review. The premise of brother’s-best-friend-meets-off-limits-little-sister isn’t unique. (Which I’m fine with. I mean how many billionaire-meets-amazingly-regular-girl have we all read?) But something about this story and these characters sucked me right in to their world. It was a well written story. I swooned, my heart was broken, and then put back together. Reading this book was time well spent. I actually wasn’t ready for it to end!
    The only negative I found was minor. There were a couple situations that could have been fleshed out more, but ended up being a little irrelevant (Adam and his frat bros following her out of class when Cade is waiting for her, for example). And it ended rather abruptly. I wasn’t prepared for that to be the last scene. I need an epilogue!
    I like this author and we loved be reading more by her!

    Classic for this genre. Keeps you intrested the while time. There was 1 or 2 characters I wish were more developed but that happens. Also wish there was more of the sibling relationship. Otherwise great love story.

    To Be Your Girl is the first book in the To Be yours series. I absolutely loved this book. It's one of my favorites. I've reread this book so many times. The romance, the emotion, the feels, the undeniable chemistry between Cade and Hailey. I highly recommend this book.

    Oh my... Cade and Haley certainly set my Kindle on fire 🔥

    I really enjoyed this. I loved the push and pull between the two of them. Cade made my heart flutter, I mean who doesn't love tattoos? Well, this girl does. The moments where he protected Haley *swoon* and whilst there were a fair few tense and teary eyed moments, these two definitely got the ending they deserved.

    Not a bad book at all. Completely heartbreaking a lot from Cade and then again from Haley . Case was my favourite character although I think there was more in his story that was missing . He seems so dark and bothered from the beginning. Would have been better to get more of him. Overall good read

    This book did me in. The emotional roller-coaster it took me on was intense. I am so in love with these two. They went through so much to get to their ending.
    The happiness, the heartbreak for both of them. My heart almost couldn't handle it.
    Such an amazing story. I hope the rest of the series is just as amazing as this one.
