At first it was all freedom, fun, and games for
Lilly Fairfield. Being a freshman in college was supposed to create some of the
best memories of her life, especially with her best friend, Lauren, and
longtime boyfriend, Sander, by her side.
But the excitement begins to slip away when the
people closest to her start to change. They begin moving in a direction Lilly
doesn’t want to go, forcing Lilly to be faced with a decision. Should she fight
for her relationships with both Sander and Lauren or move on to something
different? Something unknown. Someone like…
Colton Davenport. Colton isn’t Lilly’s typical
type. He's shockingly sexy with his colorful tattoos, shiny silver lip ring,
and ear gauges. His smile alone leaves her breathless. Then again, she hasn’t
had a specific type other than Sander. When she meets Colton she feels an
automatic attraction that stuns her into utter stillness. She can’t look away,
doesn’t want to look away.
Lilly must decide between a life with Sander, a
life she always thought she wanted, and an unknown path with Colton.
Will Lilly make the right choices for her
future, Becoming More?
**This book is a New Adult Romance - intended
for a mature audience.**
I love a good coming of age story. I am a big sucker for them. And this one was great.
Lilly and Sander were meant to be together right? College wasn't going to tear them apart. New friends, new situations, roommates pulling them in different directions.
What made this book, was the amazingly fine Mr. Colton Davenport. Lilly and Colton had that instant connection. Lilly is afraid of change but so is Colton. He has never had a girlfriend, someone he wanted to spend time with. Lilly is torn between who she thinks is the love of her life and this even patient man who drops into her life and tugs at her heart.
There were a few surprise thrown in, but the story line was fairly predicable. Even so, I think this was a great debut for Bayli Lane and can't wait to see where she leads us in the future. Great character development and loved the ending. Four stars.
The feel of Colton’s skin on mine is more than
I ever imagined it would be. God, it’s so
much more. I should have known that the sexual attraction between us was so
alluring for a reason, but this is unbelievable. It’s like he knows my body
better than I do. I’ve never reacted this way before; it’s surreal. I’m afraid
it’s going to end, and I’m not ready to feel the lack of Colton against me.
Instead, I want more. I reach down and grab at the button on his jeans. He
stills on top of me and pulls away from my face. He looks into my eyes and then
shakes his head.
“Not
today, babe,” he says fiercely and reaches for my hand and pins it above my
head. Okay, not what I was going for, but this is pretty nice too.
“Why
not?” I whisper against his neck and then press my lips to his pulse.
“I
told you earlier. I’m going to take my time with you. I want to get to know
your body, slowly.” He grabs my hand and pins it alongside my other. His lips
meet mine again in a tantalizing but leisurely tempo. I nibble at his bottom
lip and draw the metal ring into my mouth, flicking my tongue across the warm
metal.
He moans into my mouth as I let go of the
ring. He starts nibbling on my lower lip, pulling it and teasing it with his
teeth. “Please,” I beg and push my body against his.
He
smiles and places a peck on my lips. “As hot as it is that you want it, not
tonight,” he says with ardor and then pulls me up. I sit up, and he sits across
from me. He runs his hand along my neck and down my chest, grips my hips, and
pulls me onto his lap.
“You
have no idea how long I’ve been wanting to kiss you,” he says sincerely and
bites my shoulder.
I
throw my head back while his lips skim the skin to my chin. “Me too,” I reply
roughly. I didn’t even know my voice could sound like that; I’m so out of
breath.
“It exceeded my expectations,” he says against my skin.
Bayli Lane didn’t realize how much she loved
creating a world from nothing until college. She went to Marian University
where she majored in Communications but in her spare time wrote and read. Her
love for reading is what really brought out her desire to create her own novel.
After starting loads of stories and not finishing them, she finally decided it
was time to put her passion to work. Becoming More is her first novel but
certainly not her last. Bayli lives with her husband, Tim, in Indiana where she
is probably sitting with a large cup of coffee and her computer working on her
next book.
