I have been waiting for Garrett's story. We met him in in sister, Clare's, book and you knew there was a story behind the quiet, sullen man. There was a reason, in the form of high school sweetheart Mia, but as everything unfolds, we discover two people who were meant to be together and were caught up in things beyond their control.
I couldn't help but love Garrett. When his character was first introduced, I had this need to hug him. Despite not wanting to open up to people and generally pushing them away, you saw his underlying sadness and knew something had happened to fundamentally change this guy. But the moment he lays eyes on Mia again, you completely understand what happened to him. Despite what he thinks, he isn't the only one that was ripped apart by what happened. When Mia was forced to leave him on their graduation night, she left behind the only man she'd ever loved. But when she lost her tie to him, she lost a huge chunk of herself.
Following the two of them as they navigate through getting reacquainted with each other and helping each other through loss is hard. Their emotions tends to leap off the page, whether it's hurt, anger, lust or their undying love for each other. You could sympathize with both of the characters and just wanted them to figure out how to work around what happened to them at eighteen and be happy together.
I've enjoyed all the books in this series. The author finds a way to pull readers into the story and place you smack dab in the middle of whatever emotional turmoil they find themselves in. The characters are real and keep you in their grasp until the very last page.

This book came along exactly when I needed it, a nice cute contemporary romance to get me out of a reading funk.
We first meet Mia and learn some of her story, and it is not an easy one, she is not looking forward to returning to her hometown and the ghosts that linger there.
We then meet Garrett and find out his side to the story, and no situation is ever the same to to different people. When he sees Mia again for the first time it stirs up all the old emotions that he thought were gone forever.
They decide to become friends again and see how that plays out for them, and as you can imagine, it is more difficult then either of them would think. There are things that Mia is keeping from Garrett that I didn't see coming and it was a good plot twist.
I liked the character development in this book, it fit the story perfectly. Overall this story gets a 4/5 from me!

This series just keeps getting better. Brilliant continuation from the first 2 books.
Don't get me wrong... I love second chances.
Thing is Garrett hands them out too easily. But that's just my opinion.
In the end, I did understand what was going on with Mia and I grew to like her. But before that? I mean, she completely left Garrett in the dark and she never fought for him.
All the time, he was the one who had to come back to her and save their love and their relationship. That was so annoying and frustrating. I mean, I just wanted her to stand up and fight but she was this poor girl who grieved and couldn't get her act together... Grrr
Well, the series is awesome and the writing style is really cool. Also, you always get two perspectives; however, the really interesting things aren't revealed before the end :D But that's good!
The plot is really good, though. But that's mainly because Mia never talks about her past and she always waits for the love of her life to come to her. Yeah, sorry, I'm still angry :D
Anyways, it's still a really nice book, so read it :D Don't listen to me rambling.

Good solid book. I didn't love Mia and Garrett as much as Declan and Leah or Clare and Logan, but still a good story.
3.5 out of 5 Stars
Ready for You is book 3 in the Ready Series. I really liked Ready for You and can't wait to continue with the series. I loved Mia and Garrett.
