Easy is a New York Times Bestseller - a must-read for everyone who loves Slammed by Colleen Hoover and the New Adult genre. Deeply romantic and utterly gripping, this is not to be missed.

Jacqueline seems to have a knack for making the wrong choices. She followed her boyfriend to his choice of university, disregarding her preference. Then he dumped her. She chose a minor she thought she could combine with her music studies, but she's falling behind. And then, leaving a party alone one night, she is attacked. If it wasn't for the timely intervention of a stranger, she would have been raped. Now she must make a choice - give up and give in, or toughen up and fight on. Only the support of the man who is tutoring her and the allure of the guy who saved her from the attack convince her that it's worth fighting on. Will Jacqueline now have to make a choice between them too? And can she make the right decision? It's not easy . . . (Mature Young Adult/ New Adult)

The Review: “Choosing to be with you isn't a difficult decision, Jacqueline," he breathed, pulling back one final time to stare into my eyes. "It's easy. Incredibly easy.” 

Over the past 12 months around the blogosphere, all I’ve heard about is Easy by Tammara Webber. Nearly every person who reads this type of genre has recommended this book to me. And why you ask? Because, it’s awesome and yes, everyone is so right!


Easy is one of them novels that everyone is going to love, it’s got a fantastic story line with awesome characters and a love story that is spine-tingling hot – really hot! The story deals with a very true and troubling subject – rape. Because of the subject, it’s a story that will speak to many people and I have to applaud Tammara Webber for taking such a difficult story and making it work so well. 

I have to say, I was expecting a novel that was highly emotional because of the topic of the story, but while we did get some emotions from the main character Jacqueline, I felt she dealt with her emotions very well and was honestly quite a strong character. She did have a little break-down but, she picks herself up and tries to move on from it. Not many people could do that but it just proves how strong she was. And Lucas – swoon-worthy Lucas who is a very hot mystery. I was constantly asking myself “what are his secrets? What is he hiding?” and I have to say, it took me a few chapters to catch on who is actually was. He’s plays a role in Jacqueline’s life from the very first part of the story even if he doesn’t always to appear to be there. Also the scenes between Jacqueline and Lucas are very intense and addicting from the start. There's something about them together that I just loved – they bring out the best in one another and really show each other what it really means to love. I just loved how connected I felt to these two.

“I'm trying to protect you. From myself. I don't do..." he swung a finger back and forth between us"...this.” 

Overall, Easy is a highly charged and gripping read, and if you haven't not picked up this book yet, then I highly recommend you do. You surely won’t be disappointed – I know I wasn’t, and I can’t wait to read more work from Tammara Webber. 

Thank you to Penguin UK for giving me the opportunity to review this book.
