"You never have to be without me, Laney, never." He lied...my everything I ever knew, trusted, wanted...I am, in fact, without him. On my own and out of my shell, I learn new things about life, friendship and...myself. Like what you've always known may not be what you've always wanted.
Dane Kendrick awakened things within me that I never knew existed, unraveling and uncovering the real Laney Jo Walker. I'm a new adult...so is my story.

It's happened..
The day has come that FINALLY someone is tied sitting pretty at #1 with Kellan Kyle.. KK had a LONG 14 month run all by his lonesome as #1.. Some have come close.. But just not *quite* there.. You should know before moving on- I rate ALL Book boys on a Kellan Kyle scale.. So this is HUGE. HUUUUUUUUGE accomplishment. Not just ANY amazing book boyfriend can get to this level.. And let me tell you.. After reading Emerge- my KK scale is freakin tipping over and I am at a loss for words.. <- yea, can you believe that I just said that OUTLOUD!
So, this book wasn't really on optional read.. I mean, I got added into this book group and ALL the girls were raving and asking Team Evan or Team Dane... So naturally, being the love triangle lover I am -- jumped in feet first.. I had no expectations, although I was warned I would doubt my KK love.. (secretly- I laughed, knowing this is impossible and NO BB will be him..) BOY, was I wrong..
The story starts introducing us to Laney Walker.. A tomboy 10 year old little girl being raised by her single father.. She gets in a scuff at school and the principal calls her dad in only to find out not only did his little princess fight, but a boy name Evan Mitchell Allen (their neighbor boy) had defended her as well..This soon flashes forward 8 years and Laney and Evan (who had remained best friends) are now seniors in High School..
After finally getting the nerve Evan asks Laney on a real date.. The best way to describe Evan Allen in book boyfriend reference is he is a Will Cooper (This girl- Colleen Hoover) .. He is THE perfect best friend & boyfriend you can possibly ever want and I immediately fell head over heels in love with Evan.. I already hurt knowing there is going to be another guy.. There CAN NOT possibly be a better boyfriend for Laney than Evan..
At this point- I have to go back to the "group page" and vent out my pain... yes, my group girls were there with me the whole way - holding my hand, cheering me on, telling me - it will be ok.. So, I continue on..
Evan and Laney share a love for Disney movies as they grew up together having "Disney" marathon movie nights..
Let me give you some examples of the kind of guy Evan is.. I need to paint the whole honest picture here::
"Laney, you're THAT girl.. the one guys make up in their head when they put all the parts together to make one perfect girl. "
"I've dreamed of kissing her since I was 10 years old..I knew it wouldn't be the same when and if it ever happened.. It isn't."
"He's like the perfect song, all said for me"<-- Laney's thoughts to herself
and you ready for it?? THIS IS WHERE I FELL IN LOVE WITH EVAN::::::
"I love her more than any man has ever loved a woman.. I am sure of it. I've loved her since the first time her little tomboy A$$ smarted off to me, when she was all dirt and elbows.. and now, she's a goddess."
^ See, total Will Cooper - sweet baby Evan is a Real Life Disney Prince and I am convinced at this point.. There will NEVER be anyone better..
And then- they end up at seperate colleges so Laney and Evan come to agreement that they aren't going to hold each other back.. They still love each other, but won't hold each other back from happiness while apart.
Laney moves in where her new Dorm Roommate Bennett... who I quickly LOVE and her high school bestie Kaitlyn is at the college where Evan attends so she and Bennett instant friends
After Bennett ( WHO IS REAL LIFE ARIEL) forces her to go to a college event.. She meets him.. The guy who changes everything.. I am still convinced I am Team Evan.. I WILL NOT FALL FOR ANYONE ELSE. EVER.
Dane Kendrick.. Unlike Evan who is "all american jock with light brown shaggy hair and blue eyes - you know the really "cute-hot" guy.. Dane is just beautiful.. Dark hair, dark eyes, tanned skin.. perfection..
I am getting scared now... I mean, you know when a guy has the good faithful girl thinking dirty thoughts- it's getting ready to get cray cray..She describes him as " The world's sexiest reason to drop you panties.."
Well crap.. my Team is not Team Fence.. Splinters or not- I am sitting here and NO ONE can make me move.. I want both. Laney needs both... So screw these teams.. I am making a new one..
And then..I discover.. He's a winker, a nicknamer, and a musician and my damn fence comes crashing down.. hard.. Poor Evan... I am sorry sweet baby.. We had a good run. But Dane.. yea- He's McDreamy..
and A nicknaming winking McDreamy musician trumps Prince Eric.. ALWAYS.
"Disney" and Dane (he that is his nickname for her) have such a strong connection- it is radiating thru my kindle screen.. My fingers are on FIRE.. My heart is about to burst.. and I know at this point.. I am a goner- along with Laney.. Hook, line, and sinker - I AM SUNK....
I should explain at this point that Laney and I are one in the same.. The way she looks, her personality, her love for disney and music, and I connected to her like no other female character ever.. I loved her as much as I loved the guys.. Her and Bennett had the kind of friendship us girls all want...
So, back to Dane--HO-LEE-I have swooned and went to kellan kyle Heaven.. This man is beyond perfection.. There really is not a word I can use to describe other than that. Let me show you what I mean:::
"I want you to be my girlfriend.. I want you to be my baby.."
"Oh God baby it's going to be good one day.. You and me...explosive."
" Baby its so hard it hurts"<--- My note-- HO-lee hotness Disney -get it on or I am going to jump in this book and get it done for you.."
"I can tell you how happy it makes me.. How little you gave him ... and THAT will be all mine" <-- Yep, her V card is ALL HIS..
86%--- heartbreak... I am about to throw up .. nervous, my belly hurt and my heart is going to explode..
90% "Your choice..Bedroom or right here"<--- OMG I AM FANNING MYSELF.. HOT HOT HOT
"you dont' kiss like that off you're still on the fence..." <--- you're right.. I burned that FENCE TO THE GROUND DANE!!!! That fence- it was gone at first wink;)
"I'm not sure what kind of love you mean baby but if you mean do I want you to be with me forever that I can't bear the thought of being without you as my lover, my best friend, my whole world.. one day my wife, baby mama(he winks) then yes, I love you - love you.. <------ A wink and calling her a baby Mama.. I am so far tipped on my KK scale - there is no hope of coming back.. DANE KENDRICK, you just took a step above my KK..
"Cosmic.." MOTHER OF ALL LOVE SCENES I LOVE DANE KENDRICK ..LOVE MORE THAN KELLAN KYLE ... OMG.. I JUST SAID THAT OUTLOUD.. YEP, IT HAPPENED.. THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.. AND DANE IS FREEDOM..
So, at this point.. I know that Evan.. Prince Eric - has to be let go.. Not that He and Laney are "together" but their hearts are bound..
Cut my guts with a dull knife "Merry Christmas Princess.." <-- FULL ON UGLY TEARED SNOTTY CRY HOLD ME NOW FRIENDS BECAUSE I NEED LOVE AND CODDLED...
I rate this book at the BIGGEST 5 STAR RATING YOU CAN RATE.. IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF PERFECT, AMAZING, A REAL LIFE FAIRY TALE ROMANCE THAT YOU WONT PUT DOWN.. I started this book at 11:00 om and finished at 3 am .. Admitted to my girls at 2:46 CST that Dane is KK's successor.... Dane has romanced his way right past Kellan Kyle.. and I don't ever think anyone can take that .. Because YES, he is THAT AMAZING..
This is in my top 3 books of all time.. To say I LOVED it... Is not enough..
DANE KENDRICK AND EVAN WILL SHOW YOU WHAT BOOK BOYFRIENDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.. BELIEVE ME.. YOU MUST MEET THEM.. SOON.. LIKE TODAY.. RIGHT NOW.. HERE IS THE LINK:: JUST TO MAKE IT EASY ON YA:::
Some quotes I love: PS- Some are long ;-)
"What the hell? I can't do this! Why would I do this? If you think I'm putting on some lingerie and posing, I'm gonna run out of here...and I'll be nixing the whole 'spend time together thing'. you perv."(HILARIOUS)
"Um, Dane, have you been checking me out?"
"D"Only when I'm breathing.""(SIGH,ovaries explode)
"If your parakeet's in that car laughing at me, I'm gonna kick her ass!"
"Are you kidnapping me? You're crazier than I am."
"I won't share you, Laney. Not your lips, not your thoughts, not your body, and especially not your heart. You don't have to give it all to me just yet, but give me nothing if any of it belongs to him. Do you understand?"
"I will never kiss another man's girl...but you're not his, Laney. You're not mine...yet. But you're not his, either. So the way I see it, you're kissable."
"Last chance, Disney. Once I get a taste, I'm coming after you with everything I've got."
"No maybe to it. You feel that, Laney?Your heart beasts that fast for me, for us."
"Perfect, since I was thinking we're the only two people right now anyway."
"He's a good one, let him be good to you, girl."
"Baby, I'm gonna have my head examined later for what I'm about to say, but if we don't stop, you're not leaving this room."
"I'll eat with you before I Shower, but give me a sec to count the silverware."
"The look of love;you're in love with this moment, this place. It's how you'll look at your husband, your children; it's breathtaking."
"What do you mean, what you should tell him?Tell him you're mine now."
"I want to touch you, kiss you, freely, I want you to be my girlfriend...my baby."
"We can't duel it out for her hand, that's hers to give."
"You just want to see a cat fight, you hornball, You're as bad as Sawyer."(I love Sawyer & all their friends!)
"You're the sexiest thing I've ever seen, I could get lost in you."
"You know I want you. You know all this is foreplay is in the hope that one day I get to lay you down and love you. I think about it at least ten times a day, every day. I'm jealous as f^$#% of every feeling you have for Evan. I want you to tell him once and for all you're with me and never leave my arms, my life or my bed ever again.""But for now, I'll settle for watching a movie and falling asleep with you in my arms."
"And to always ask please before I see your boobies."
"I see us."
"I choose us."
"You and Bennet are not to come out for ANYTHING. I mean it! Laney's here-ruin this and you'll be back on crutches."(Bahahahaha)
"I'm not sure what kind of love you mean, baby. But if you mean do you want to be with me forever, that I can't bear the thought of being without you as my lover, my best friend, my whole world...one day my wife, and my baby mama.""Then yes, I love you love you."
"Baby,"You can plan our dates, tell me what you wear, run the radio.""You can even name our kids one day...after Disney characters even. But in the bedroom, the hot tub, against the wall or basically anywhere I Have you naked and wet...let me lead."
"You are magnificent. Thank you for waiting for me, for this."I love you. I didn't know what that really meant until I met you. You were made to be my other half and I yours."

I hate love triangle novels, but only because they are so heart breaking for me. I always love all the characters and never want anyone to get hurt, but I do find they go the same way.
I read Rachael Brownell's Holding On before this (even though it was published after this one) and I found the plots very similar but I love S.E Hall's so much more.
Not only are all the characters hot as hell, they are also some very good sex scenes, some hilarious lines and the most adorable characters!
Sawyer is becoming my favourite, he's currently the dirty dog but so loyal to his friends. He just needs to find the right woman and I think he might find her in Book 3.
I'm currently working my way through book 2, which focuses more on Evan. He is an amazing guy, such a romantic, sometimes he's so lovely I barely believe he's a 19 year old guy. Sometimes 'The Crew' can seem quite young, especially as there are a few virgins, not a bad thing obviously but they are quite young and naive sometimes. But it is great to watch them grow up, which is obviously what they're all doing.
This series really has me hooked, I've read a few free books which are the start of series but this one made me NEED to buy the next one. I've even seen a few fan made TV/film cast line ups and I would love to see this in a movie or a TV series. It does make me chuckle and I think S.E Hall may fast becoming a new favourite author of mine.
Perfect amounts of romance, sex, humour, adorable characters, drama and twists that this book is definitely worth a read. But be warned, you are signing up for a 4 book deal as soon as you start!

I love the beginning of this book. Laney's little butter wouldn't melt act in front of her dad. And her cocky little attitude towards Evan, it was so funny.
Evan is the boy next door. Every mum would love their daughter to bring an Evan Allen home. He's sweet, adorable and looks out for Laney.
Unfortunately things don't always go as planned. Their dream of going to collage together never came true and they were destined to go in their own directions.
However I wanted to scream at Laney for not giving them a shot. Her best friend. Apparently the boy she loves. Who does that? Well Laney of course.
Most of the book is based on Laneys collage experience. This is were I really loved the book. She goes on a Hall Crawl were she meets the Crew, and Dane. The new characters that came in were really well thought out.
Bennett is the best room mate she could ask for. To be honest the whole crew where really good. I loved the way Sawyer was always there for everyone. He was the big, soft guy. One everyone can love. But Evan had my true heart throughout this book.
The tight friendships that they made was shown continuously in the book. They were all there for each other.
The twist that was put in about kaitlyn, I honestly never seen coming. To just think how lives change and how different directions life could of gone if things had of been different was good to see.
The end of this book was so, so sad. I Lost. I Left and I Lost. I wanted to cry for poor sweet adorable Evan.
Posted by Sarah's Book Reviews. [...]

Laney Walker is preparing to start college, away from her single dad and away from her two best friends Kaitlyn and Evan, the latter of which she has been friends with for over eight years and has only just discovered that she likes him in a romantic sense. Laney is a tomboy and relatively shy so when college commences, she ends her relationship with Evan as quickly as it starts although they agree to be friends. However, while Laney is away, she misses Evan but learns of some revelations involving him and also Kaitlyn, and also starts to settle in at college and make friends there. In particular, she finds herself attracted to Dane and she finds it difficult to be truthful to both Evan and Dane about what she wants. Although the love triangle element is a bit cliche, the story is told from the perspectives of Laney, Evan and Dane so you start to understand why Laney likes both of them and does not want to hurt either of them. I also saw something of the 18-19 year old me in Laney and maybe that was a reason why I liked this story so much despite it being the type of story I have, by and large, moved away from.
Without giving too much away, this ends on a cliffhanger which makes it clear that there is a second part and it makes me very tempted to download the rest of the series. I got this while it was free as I was not sure whether it would be my cup of tea but would be happy to pay for the rest of the series if I get the chance. I read this a couple of days as it was difficult to put down. I recommend this story.

Most girls go their whole life without meeting a man as wonderful as Evan or Dane, let alone finding themselves sandwiched in between two of them. The age old love triangle only seems cliché and trite until you actually find yourself in one, then it becomes agony.
Emerge tells the tale of Laney Walker, an innocent 18 year old who finds herself in one hell of a predicament. This is a coming of age story that focuses strongly on the solid foundations of friendship, built gradually over time. Her best friend Evan planted himself firmly into her life at the age of 10 and they have remained joined at the hip ever since, these two sweet kids shared every first experience together, from fishing, to first kisses, to falling in love.
Now eighteen, with college placements and scholarships becoming a fast reality, Laney is devastated when she gets offered a place at Southern and not her first choice at UGA. Her solid tri-unit is about to be broken as Evan and Kaitlyn attend the same college, with Laney left to venture into the unknown without her rock, and the love of her life.
Laney is a realist, she doesn't want to hold Evan back, she loves him too much and for this reason she decides to cool off their blossoming romance. Distance playing a pivotal role in her decision with `college temptations' a possibility, she sets him free, both promising to find their way back home to one another when college is over.
Feeling isolated and alone, Laney finds solace in her new roommate, Bennett. A fun-loving and quirky redhead who successfully manages to coerce Laney into taking part in a Southern College tradition - a dorm hall crawl.
Making new friends is imperative but its also a headache, none of the guys at Southern could ever come close to Evan, the void of his loss so palpable, impossible to fill. And yet, the night isn't completely wasted when the room down the hall provides comforting joviality in the form of Tate, Sawyer...and Dane.
Dane Kendrick is Tate's Brother and regular visitor to the dorms. He's beautiful, successful, rich and everything Laney doesn't need. But with Evan so far away and depression chomping at her heels, she finds solace in her new friend as she tells him with open honesty about her life and her love for Evan. Gradually, they form a close relationship but the air has a habit of shifting, and its not long before friendship turns into unspoken sexual attraction between the pair.
With a new solid group of friends, Laney is not short of advice and people to lean on, especially Zach, who lives across the hall as he provides her a crutch in times of need.
"It's okay for you to be confused, Laney, that doesn't make you a bad person. Just be honest, Laney. Don't stray from that beautiful heart of yours okay?"
Laney starts to question herself, as she explores her true feelings, and stumbles incessantly with which direction she needs to take.
Follow Laney in her journey as she struggles to make the biggest decision of her life.
*
This college-based romance exceeded every expectation. Hands down its got to be one of my favourites as I loved every character in this book...well, all apart from one.
This may have strong elements of a triangle but it's certainly not a sordid cheat fest in any shape or form. I felt Laney' s pain, it was impossible not to because I fell in love with both Evan and Dane too. Yes...Okay, I am officially waving my cougar card, but what the hell... You only live once and I will forever regret not attending college so I am living precariously through New Adult literature. Don't judge me!
Unlike other NA college drama's, many seem to be rather predicable but this book wasn't at all. It could have gone either way.
Book two cannot come fast enough! Sign me up S.E. Hall, this cougar needs her Evan and Dane fix.
Brilliant!
4.5 Stars.
