Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
This week's WoW selection is...
Jaden Sinclair knows he'll never amount to anything...so why would he deserve a girl like Priscilla Mendoza? Since last summer, things have been screwed up between Jaden and Pris. He knows it's his fault, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to go a few rounds with her new boyfriend. He also knows he’s the loser his dad calls him, but it doesn’t stop him from wanting her. After getting a huge bomb dropped on him, Jaden lashes out and lands himself in jail. Everything in his chaotic life is turned upside down and to make it worse, his mom kicks him out in order to side with his dad. Yeah, he’s totally a prize for a girl like Pris. Sebastian, Aspen, and Pris are all going places in their lives...and he knows he can't keep tagging along for the ride. The group has one last chance for The Epic Adventure they've been looking for: a road trip to New York, where Jaden's friends will be going to college. Unfortunately, the more time Jaden hangs around Pris, the harder it is to keep the carefully constructed walls between them so she doesn't find out what a train wreck he really is. When the trip ends, Jaden has to decide if he's ready to say goodbye to his friends, and the girl he loves. He knows what he needs, but will he be man enough to go for it? ~From GoodReads
Why I'm Waiting ~ Wow. I loved Nyrae Dawn's first book, WHAT A BOY WANTS, sooo much.
And now it's Jaden's turn. There were strong hints that Jaden's home life was rough in WaBW. I can't wait to see this great circle of friends rally together again.
Edited to Add: I got an eARC of WHAT A BOY NEEDS yesterday afternoon. I stayed up until 2am reading it. Blown away. This book blew away every expectation. I'm dying for everyone to read it.
Expected Publication Date: June 12, 2012
Great pick! I am very curious as to what all was going on in Jaden's life. And oh no Pris has a boyfriend! That will made things very tense. It will be cool to see more of Bastian too.

ReplyDeleteI think I am going to pick up What A Boy Wants this weekend and hopefully I can get to it next week! Everyone is raving about it and if the sequel is just as mind-blowing, I need to get the first one read!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really hot! I love the piercing on his brow...
ReplyDeleteI like the cover. And a piercing...awesome! I haven't read the first one yet, but hope to do so soon!
ReplyDeleteTake a look at my WOW post.
That first book wasn't on my radar at all, until it suddenly seemed to be everywhere in the blogosphere over the past month! I guess I'd better read it before this new one is released. :)
ReplyDeleteWendy @ The Midnight Garden
You already know how much I can't wait to read this book and it comes out on my birthday! Woot!! I saw on Twitter when you & the other ladies were discussing it that I told Valerie I had to avoid Twitter for awhile so I wouldn't read your tweets. LOL! :-) So glad you loved it!
