Review
I was given this book by author for honest review. Book 2 of the Blythe College series. Loved the way Jackson talks to and about Kaylie. “I was completely blown away. The campus playboy had just kissed the shit out of me and then talked me out of having sex with him on our first real date.” Also enjoyed the sister like conversations between her and best friend Char. “Geesh, what are you, twelve?” “Sometimes, yes”. Can’t wait for Char and Shane’s story to come out.
Excerpt
I loved bartending at the campus bar, The Rooster’s Nest. Of
course, nobody called it by the real name. Instead, everyone usually just
called it The Roost. Or if they were feeling particularly pervy, they called it
The Cock. The bar was known for its cold beers, its hot cheese fries, and
college bands. It’s a bit of a dive, but not in a sleazy way. Although the
tight t-shirts we wore with crazy phrases like “I Serve Tail at The Cock” and a
picture of a martini glass on it sure did seem push things toward the sleazy
slide.
I got the job as soon as I’d turned twenty-one. I needed the
money, and it paid well for a part-time job with hours that didn’t interfere
with school or dance. It also didn’t hurt that I usually got to work shifts
with my roomie Charlotte since she was the one who’d gotten me the interview.
She was the boss’s favorite at The Roost, so I’d been a shoe-in for the job.
And I got paid well to flirt all night, so that was a plus too.
Speaking of hot guys, Jackson Silver walked into the bar about
an hour before last call. I’d thought about him several times over the last
month and a half. Word on campus was that he’d been keeping to himself a lot
more. When he came back from Christmas break, there hadn’t been any more rumors
about random hook-ups. This was the first time I’d seen him since witnessing
his argument with Sasha, which was strange considering how small the campus
was.
He sat down at the other side of the bar, so Charlotte took his
order and served him a beer and a shot. Then she headed straight over to me as
soon as she had taken care of Jackson.
“Did ya see who’s at the bar? Hottie McHot-Pants himself,” she
said, nodding her head in his direction.

5 Things you Didn’t Know about Hit The Wall
1.
Jackson's name originally was Josh... until I saw the names Drake & Josh
together and said no way! (anyone get the TV show reference???)
2.
Hit the Wall was supposed to be the third book in the Blythe College series,
but Jackson just wouldn't wait for his turn!
3.
Yes, Aubrey & Jackson have two older brothers... who I almost missed
mentioning completely until my mom caught it in her beta read.
4.
Hit the Wall was uploaded to Kindle from the Atlanta airport while I was on my
way home from fangirling at Wicked Book Weekend.
5.
Shhh, don't tell anyone but Sasha was originally going to be a reformed heroine
in this book. She wasn't cooperating & then Kaylie stormed next door and
that was that for Jackson.
