It was such a plus that I knew all three books were available and I didn't have to wait or face being miffed when I hit cliffhangers at the end of Books 1 and 2! It was somewhat of an adventurous journey including the good and the bad times with El and Jag over an estimated 25 year period of time.

El, at age 5, crushed on Jag. He didn't have a clue.

This is my favorite kind of series as you watch your characters grow and mature from childhood friendships, first loves and all the thrills and angst that seems to follow, and then into adulthood that included a long-distance relationship where things get ugly, nasty and downright real before taking a turn towards happily-ever-after. I really enjoyed the way this trilogy was written. Of course, the fact that Jag was a star baseball player and swoon-worthy -- even though a bit of a jerk at times -- only upped the excitement for the sports-themed lover in me.

The story covers a lot of ground and readers will get a taste of many fun-to-read moments, along with the dose of angst that most always wiggles its way into relationships, characters that grow on you as they grow up, and some really steamy and sizzling encounters that are sure to please romance readers. Book 3 was the crowning glory. Things started to fall into place and love between these two stood on solid ground.

The trust and loyalty settled into place, and they finally got it right and learned from all those past mistakes. An Epilogue that truly sparkles and shines in giving a reader all they could hope for in the conclusion to the long and arduous journey of El and Jag. Oct 11, Rebecca rated it really liked it Shelves: Casting for Jag and El. I'm not sure which guy I prefer. Forever and a day. I usually knock at least 1 star off due to them, but I didn't with this one. I loved this book until the end. Jag and El were crazy in love, and I enjoyed reading about their journey. And, those sex scenes.

However, Jag disappointed me so much at the end. I fear he is heading to be Jack Carter Jr. He Casting for Jag and El. He's a douchebag,and after Jag's actions and that ending, he is hanging out with Jack Carter and Jack Howard in douchebag land. I'm not sure Jag can redeem himself for me. I hope El picks herself up and finds someone deserving of her love, and hopefully, that is a groveling Jag! View all 5 comments. First, let me say that I hate cliffhangers! Jagger is a complete and utter jerk. He just doesn't get it. He is pretty self-absorbed and insensitive.

While he says he loves her, I don't feel he loves El as much as she loves him. He makes her feel at fault and guilty when she calls him on some of his BS. I'm not sure I believe his commitment to El over the years.

It seems that he takes her feelings for granted. I rated this a 4 star because now that I am invested, I have to find out what happens ne First, let me say that I hate cliffhangers! I rated this a 4 star because now that I am invested, I have to find out what happens next. I was hoping that I wouldn't like this one enough to care. It did suck me in.

On to book 2. I just hope El and I get some satisfaction. Jagger should have a tough road ahead. If he doesn't, I won't rate book 2 so highly and probably will not read the last book in the trilogy. Oct 06, F loves to read rated it it was amazing. I adored the story of El and Jag and loved their special connection because they knew each other and were close friends since they were little kids. I smiled, laughed and snorted and just overall felt good while reading. I can't wait for the next book to see what's going on. I'm so proud of you!

Oct 07, Bem Baulos rated it it was amazing Shelves: But damned me, do i really have to wait till february for the next book? I'd be nice for Jag to finally grow some b!! Just something for Jag to finally open his freakin eyes and grovel, and do the chasing.

Its sad and unnerving that he allowed people to treat Ellie that way and just stood there and watched her heart broken. Nothing like a good ol' moving with a new guy while ex tries to win her back, i thi I love it! Nothing like a good ol' moving with a new guy while ex tries to win her back, i think she totally deserve that.

Oct 08, Tracy rated it it was amazing. Loved the book, loved the characters until the end OMG, this book has in spades!!! I could not put it down. I really do not deal well with cliffhangers I am still pissed My biggest regret is now we have to wait until February to find how El deals with the Ass-Hole??????? Oct 08, Shidah rated it it was amazing Shelves: Yay, i loved it but damn i hate cliffhanger.

Oct 09, Mabelle rated it it was amazing. Jagger Knox you f'kcing prick! I stll love you though.. Oh El, I'm soooo sorry sweetie Jul 27, NMmomof4 rated it really liked it Shelves: I am just coming off of that killer cliffhanger, so that might effect my review. I liked this story.

I am a sucker for romances that are over many years time, so this was right up my alley. I loved their first kiss, and the innocence of their early friendship This is Ellen "El" and Jagger "Jag"'s story. The duo met when El was 5 and Jag was 7 at an ice cream truck when they bonded over Spider-Man ice cream bars.

Discovering Us

They quickly became best friends after that. Then after Jag's 13th birthday he discovered girls and the duo was separated for 5 years without communication other than friendly waves. Once El was 16, Jag approached her to give her a ride home. After a few awkward moments, they connected like the friends they once were. The attraction was too much to ignore and they fell in love. This part of their story follows their hard times being separated Jag goes off to college not much after they reconnect and then off to play baseball for many years.

They are finally able to live together and start their lives together in LA, but other situations mainly the dealing with Jag's rise into fame cause problems for them. I read this really quick, so there were no parts that I felt were rushed or slow. Ok, I know this rating is strongly influenced by the cliffhanger where Jag messed up After the first commercial, El had every right to be upset and he acted as though she was overreacting and didn't sincerely apologize.

He obviously knew that what he did was wrong because when he came home after the shoot and he was upset about what her reaction would be, but he let her say it was ok and dropped it. The last part of the book I found him to be incredibly inconsiderate of her feelings, and that is not how you treat someone you love.

I just found him not to be really remorseful for his mistakes, and that's not a great quality to have. I wanted her to grow a backbone. What Jag did was not ok. She was obviously effected by his actions, view spoiler [ she was loosing weight and was constantly worried hide spoiler ] but she let him push the issue under the rug.

She defended him to their friends and family -- which I admire her loyalty No tears, but some major drama especially at the end.

She forgot to tell me that there was a huge cliffhanger. I love Jag and El together.

Discovering Us | Harper Bentley

During the first few chapters you can sense her pain when Jag starts dating. Then, you can fill her elation when he comes back for her. It just seems that El always felt that Jag was too good for her, too handsome to be with her.

The end is horrible. Don't get me started with Jag. He is on my hate list right now. I need to see him beg, crawl, mad with jealousy. I sincerely hope that Ellen makes him suffer.

I am still pissed She's taught high school English forever, and although she's managed to maintain her sanity regardless of her career choice, jumping into the world of publishing her own books goes to show that she might be closer to the ledge than was previously thought. It pisses me off more because there are girls out there whom stay in a relationship with a guy that treats them like shit and then hope one day the guy would wake up and tell them they're the love of their life and live happily ever after. Once El was 16, Jag approached her to give her a ride home. It was funny, angsty, swoon worthy and pretty hot. Just make it all one book -- one horribly written book under pages. I really like the "New Adult" genre
