What can I say... loving this book was incredibly EASY for me!!! I loved the story, the characters, and the way that they solved their problems. The characters and the situations had a very realistic quality to them. And the romance that developed between Jacqueline and Lucas was sweet, sexy and really meaningful.

I think that the author also did a great job incorporating a very delicate but real subject matter into the story. I loved how she led her readers in the right direction in showing the ...more

THIRD READ THROUGH - November 1, 2015! Sometimes I have to reread a book just to relive all the feels. This is one of those books. So was the third read through as good as the first two? Hellz yeah! I heart Lucas so hard!

SECOND READ THROUGH May 6, 2014! In prep for book two, I re-read this one and LOVED it just as much as the first time! That Lucas is something special for sure! Now on to Breakable! *happy dance*

(Original Read June 25 - 26th, 2012)
5+++ stars!

OMG I just LOVED this book! It just goes to show you that indeed, do not judge a book by its cover or categorization, as the case may be. I had just passed this book off as another barely mature romance that all the little girls rave about. But, was I ever dead wrong! This story was an incredibly honest and touching portrayal of a quick, shocking attack in the beginning and its heartbreaking aftermath as the book heroine struggles to get back to the strength she always had.

And I don't know if r ...more

I cannot tell you guys how much I love this book. It is SOOOO awesome! During the first third of the book I was a little afraid I wasn't going to enjoy it as much as I did. It wasn't that the writing is bad, but that it reminded me so much of Jamie McGuire's Beautiful Disaster. A LOT. Alas, even though it is obvious that Webber's inspiration for Easy was BD, it is a completely different story.

I'm not going to discuss the plot since the description is so well written and I want to avoid spoilers ...more

Easy was my first Tammara Webber book, and honestly, after about the third sentence I knew it wouldn't be my last. I was in love with this story before I even finished the first page. Ms. Webber's got an absolutely fantastic writing style. It's so easy to read, her characters are super relatable and her storylines are realistic, intense and just AWESOME!

Easy was my first Tammara Webber book, and honestly, after about the third sentence I knew it wouldn't be my last. I was in love with this story before I even finished the first page. Ms. Webber's got an absolutely fantastic writing style. It's so easy to read, her characters are super relatable and her storylines are realistic, intense and just AWESOME!

Jacqueline is an amazing young woman. Having been dumped after following her boyfriend to college, she has trust issues, and I definitely think some security issues. Then, after leaving a party one night (one she didn't even want to attend, mind you), she's attacked by her ex-boyfriend's friend in her truck. And then, in comes Lucas! Oh Lucas. Tattooed, pierced, super mysterious Lucas. I fell for him right away. I have a thing for the bad boys, I guess. He doesn't give much away at all, and I was immediately intrigued into what he was hiding and who he was.

Lucas is sexy and dark and definitely a quiet observer, as we learn later in the story. He and Jacqueline develop some serious feelings for one another, and man there is so, so, so much build up and passion between them, my skin was burning on my iPad! Lucas has this super protective side, and I think Jacqueline fits into that because she is damaged from her failed relationship with her ex-boyfriend. The bond that forms between them in super sweet, but also steamy. I loved their interactions, but I was kinda bummed to see how their most intimate interaction wasn't as descriptive. Call me a perv! :)I don't want to give too much away, but there are some dark plot lines in this story, too, and Tammara does a fantastic job of weaving them into the love story, to make the story flow and keep it so interesting. There were some definite 'oh holy crap' moments and some super intense, I-can't-take-a-breath scenes where I couldn't turn the page fast enough. But there are also plenty of heartwarming, light moments to balance those out! PERFECT!

In regards to the attack that Jacqueline faces at the beginning, and what becomes of that story - I think that Tammara did took such a sensitive and serious, but often times, taboo topic and shed some great light on it. I loved that the girls took self defense classes and I loved the emphasis on a woman's right to say NO! Such a powerful message and a very serious topic - especially among college co-eds! I hope that this story could help even one young woman in a similar situation realize she can and SHOULD speak up!

I give this story 4.5 stars and highly recommend to EVERYONE. Yes, there are references to sex, drinking and even colorful language, but aside from the absolutely phenomenal love story, the other messages are so powerful and important! I cannot wait to see what Tammara comes up with next!

I tried once before to read this book and put it down for some reason. I guess that I was not in the mood for it at the time. I am very glad that I decided to pick it up again and read it, because it is a really great book. I loved the characters and the concept of the book. I love where the author went with the story. I think that it would make a great movie and I hope that Hollywood is looking into it for a screenplay!

Amazing. I can't state that enough. This book is, amazing. I didn't want it to end and I'm sad that it did. I loved Lucas. I felt for him more than a character in a book in some time. I think Katniss was the last that I became so attached to. Jacqueline is a strong heroine and I loved her as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I now must own it as I borrowed it from the library. Love love love it! ...more

This book was amazing from start to finish; I couldn't put it down. Ms. Webber has a way of creating characters that you feel so passionately about. The plot of this story is so relate able to many young females. I'm in college and felt connected to this story in so many parts. This is a great story to read just to give young people the courage to stand up for themselves and say something if you are assaulted. Very moving storyline with characters that really touch the heart. ...more
