Shelly rates this book : 5 Stars
Evan Allen is a handsome, athletic, southern gentleman who now attends Georgia Southern University for no good reason.
After what he expected to be the romantic gesture of the century, Evan is looking at no friends, a year of ineligibility on the football team, and no girl.
He's starting over alone and doesn't know quite how to proceed. Certain members of The Crew refuse to let him face things by himself, taking him under their wing, and it doesn't take the ladies long to notice him, either.
Sometimes life doesn't go as you had planned. Sometimes it goes better.
Embrace it.
Embrace, the second book in the Evolve Series by S.E. Hall, follows the characters from her debut New Adult romance, Emerge

Review: Shelly rates this book : 5 Stars!! I cannot stop boasting about this series and this author! S.E. Hall has yet again hit a grand slam!!! Embrace starts off where Emerge ended. Laney and Dane are together and happy, and Evan is miserable...oh, and at Southern full time now!! The "Crew" especially Sawyer, has taken a liking to him immediately. Saw is on a mission to get Evan's mind off Laney, and onto something or someone else. However, that someone he was hoping for wasn't Whitley!
Whitley is hated amongst "The Crew". From her childhood crush on Dane, to the war between her and "The Crew's" favorite little spitfire, Laney. What none of them know however is that she isn't really so bad if they ever really gave her a chance to get to know her. Evan, no matter the opinions of everyone else, did just that!
Whit and Even start out as friends, while he attempts to finally get pass his romantic feelings for Laney and back to the loving friendship they have always shared. While dating, something he hasnt ever done, Evan grows closer to Whitley. However, he keeps himself from dating her because he is afraid of what happened between him and Laney could repeat itself with Whitley. But when you meet the love of your life, there is no stoping fate!!
I have to admit at first I was thrown that it was Whitley, Evan started hanging with. I like "The Crew" was not very fond of her in Emerge, but I love how S.E. changed my mind, and we got to truly understand the person hidden inside! I loved how "The Crew" finally took to her and accepted her into their fold! All the characters have developed so much, in this book, I can't wait for more!! I'm hoping maybe we get to see if anyone can finally get Sawyer, to see that monogomy really isn't so bad!!! ~Shelly

Excerpt
Lunch is even more fun- oh, not here, but somewhere, I’m sure. I sit down with Zach and Sawyer, my stomach so in knots I’m not sure I can eat, so I peacefully concede my whole plate over to Sawyer when he’s eaten at least half of my fries rather than slap away his hand like I usually do.
Zach’s mesmerized by his phone, shocker, so I kick him under the table. “Ow,” he leans down and rubs his leg. “What the hell was that for?”
“I don’t know,” I shrug, “tell me something interesting.”
“Avery says hey,” he says, staring at his phone again.
“Oh my God, if that’s the best you’ve got, I’m screwed.”
Sawyer stops inhaling his, make that my food, just long enough to interrupt. “Avery huh? Kirby get on your nerves too?”
Okay, this is a conversation that may actually keep me entertained.
“Kirby’s cool, she doesn’t get on my nerves, but I’m definitely more into Avery,” he smiles shyly.
Yes! I lost $20 on Sawyer, but just won the same with Zach’s confirmation, so I break even!
“Well no wonder Kirby’s gone if you’re getting into Avery more.”
“Sawyer!” I smack the back of his head. “Say nothing Zach, I mean it.” This convo is going seriously downhill fast but actually gets worse when Sawyer speaks again.
“Sig party tomorrow night man, you in? We’re heading over when I get off, bout eleven.”
“Who’s we?” Zach asks.
“Me and Evan,” Sawyer darts one eye at me, shifting a bit in his seat.
“Nah man, ya’ll go. I’m gonna hang with Avery. What are you gonna do Laney?”
“Um, not go to a party with Sawyer and Evan,” I laugh, half-heartedly. “I’ll be doing whatever Dane has planned I’m sure. And Sawyer?” I stare at him until he reluctantly meets my eyes. “I appreciate you taking Evan under your wing, honestly. Just make sure you and I stay close too, alright?” I give him a pleading smile. I’d really miss Sawyer if we grew apart.
