Cory Marshall -
I've been in love with him for almost half of my life. He's my
older brother's best friend.
He's a player, a notorious heartbreaker...
and now he wants a shot at mine.

Marcus O'Connor -
He's been my best friend for as long as I can remember.
He's loyal, he's compassionate...he's beautiful.

How can I possibly choose between one man who could break my
heart and another who might make it whole?

Which one is the right choice for me...
when I've fallen in love with both of them?

    You know when you come across a book where you just inhale it, breathe it, this was one of those books for me, every second, minute, hour I was lost within these pages, I never wanted to leave, I never wanted it to end, i felt everything the author wanted me to feel and that is why this book has landed on my favourite book shelf on here..when an author can do that with just her words on paper has made me a fan of hers..

    I love this sooooo cray cray much, once you begin this book it's really hard to put down, even though we're introduced to Hailey when she's only twelve years old, each chapter moves up through the ages so it allows you more of an in depth connection with the characters. The feels when reading this are what is making me love this like I am, you feel her love for her best friend, the confused feelings she feels towards Cory, her first heartbreak when her first boyfriend betrays her, the love, the tears, the anguish, the heartbreak you FEEL everyone of those FEELS..

    I can not believe that Waiting For Us by Dawn Stanton is her debut novel, how is this even possible?

    I'm kind of rooting for one of these guys over the other, and I'm hoping he's the one she ends up with, so I'm kind of speeding through the pages like a race driver to see which one she chooses in the end..prays that it's the one I want her to choose..Soooooo she didn't choose the one I thought and wanted her to choose BUT reading why she didn't made all the sense in the world and I think she made the right choice, and maybe just maybe the one she didn't choose gets his very own book??

    I loved this book! Dawn's debut novel is fantastic.

    I enjoy books that have a way of sucking you in. Waiting for Us was one of those reads for me. It kept me engrossed throughout the book.

    She did a great job bringing us through the early years of Marcus and Hailey and how there friendship started. She also made us remember back to how it was to have a crush on your big brothers best friend, in this case Cory was the swoon worthy "untouchable older one". I found myself laughing at the irony, oh...to be young again!

    I did find myself rooting for one of the guys( although I'm not going to share which one). You will need to read this and pick your own to root for. I loved the ending, although I will admit, I was surprised with it. But she will not disappoint us, we will have more from the one that was not her happily ever after.

    Congrats Dawn on a wonderful debut

    3.0 out of 5 stars 11 year wait to be precise, but who will Hailey choose?
    Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2015

    I was very disappointed on the outcome of this story, however, I still recommend reading this book. The story was told mostly form the POV of the female protagonist, Hailey, but the latter half of the book included the male protagonists of Cory and Marcus. I loved that the story was set in Massachusetts since I currently live there, although I thought it was illegal for residents to shoot personal fireworks. Many pivotal events happened during the fireworks scenes for Hailey. The story was told in chronological order, so it was easy to follow along. I had to admire Marcus for his intelligence and willingness to do whatever it took to make Hailey happy. I felt Hailey was a selfish person and abused her "relationship" with Marcus in the end. The author did a good job of creating chemistry for Hailey and her suitors and there was enough heat to keep you interested. I was also happy that there wasn't an over abundance of drama, except for the teenage years.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Debut Novel with Real Heart!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2015
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I loved eye-rolling Hailey from the first page where we meet her at age twelve when the unforgettable Cory Marshall first leaves his mark on her heart. The author did a great job of developing Hailey from tween to woman with a voice that clearly chronicled the journey from child to adult. It's the kind of writing and storytelling that caused pangs of nostalgia at the remembrances of my own childhood friendships and early crushes. We are witness as Hailey grows into a smart, confident woman who doesn't play games with men. She's honest with herself and them. I respected the ownership she took of her own feelings and her honest dealings with the emotions and desires of the men in her life.

    As a reader, I was drawn into the story, picking sides, changing sides, and wishing both sides could be chosen in some parallel universe. It was nerve-racking -- in the best way possible! In the end, I was emotionally frazzled and so glad that it was Hailey who had to choose and not me! I understood her choice but knew early on, either way, that my heart would be broken for the man not chosen. It left me in a bit of a funk for a day or two, while I sorted out my own happy ending for the man who stepped aside and put Hailey's happiness ahead of his own. I refuse to give a spoiler, but I am looking forward to his future HEA.

    Thank you Ms. Stanton for a wonderful coming of age story told with honesty, humor, and above all: real heart!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fab debut
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2015

    Fantastic for a debut novel!!! It was fab... not your usual fall in love with your brothers best friend who is 7 years your senior!!! I loved the way this book was set. In part one you have the POV of Hailey who had loved and lusted after Cory since she was 12 years old. You also meet Marcus, Haileys best friend forever!!! Yes it was a love triangle but what a triangle it was. She goes through angst of growing up and the usual trials and tribulations of life and love and loss. Then you get to part two and you are blown away as you have Haileys POV as well as Marcus and Cory!!!! Oh my... Well I could spoil things here but you have to read this book to find out what happens and why they happen!!!

    As a reader I have to say this book kept me entertained and this is how a book should be!!!

    Well done Dawn on a fab Debut and I can't wait for book 2!!!!

    Five happy stars!!!!

    I'm still not sure about this book! Hailey is not sure who she wants, she has been crushing on Cory since she was a teenager, then it's her friend, then she throws someone else into the mix.. it's so frustrating!!

    Another triangle story. Hailey & Marcus are BFs mainly seeing each other during the holidays. He is in love with her but she has a crush on Cory, her older brothers friend.

    There's a lot going on esp when she interns at her fathers law firm, where Cory is her mentor. At this time she is living with Marcus. It does get complicated & as with every triangle someone loses out.

    It depends on whose team you're on as to whether you're happy with the ending but I won't tell you who wins.
