Embody (Full Circle Series Book 1)

After reading the Evolve series, and having it solidly in my top 5 go to reads, I couldn't wait to crack this baby open and read. It was everything I hoped for! And it was hilarious! I loved the humor. I loved the love and I love the characters. Thank you!!

I absolutely loved this! One of my favorite authors, SE Hall, did it again! She weaves perfectly between romantic, funny, witty, and angst. The transition from the Crew to the Squad and mixing them together is flawless. I love getting to still have the originals, but in a turn I've never seen an author do, fall in love with their kids' love stories while getting to see how their lives and love stories continue. 5 stars and definitely one of my new favorite books that I will read again and again!

I just wanted to comment on the first 8 chapters. It's so far, pretty good but, way to many sarcastic lines. It was a little humorous at first but, it's bugging me now. I know the author is wanting all that to make the reader laugh but, I am not laughing anymore. I hope the rest of the book is not like it's been or I may not finish it.

The ratings for this book are excellent so I thought I would give this book a try. Sadly, I only made it to 36% before giving up. I am in the minority obviously based on other reviews. I'm going to be vague so as to not spoil too much of the story for other readers.

My main issue is that the reactions of most of the characters do not feel genuine. For example everyone is eating and suddenly one character is screaming at another. This is only one example and one character but many of the characters suddenly fly off the handle for seemly minor statements or offenses. If I was part of this family I fear I would suffer from PTSD... haha...Seriously though, the ludicrousness of the dialog and reactions kept me from being able to connect with any of the characters.

Another issue Is that the characters just seem to know or intuit the actions or motivations of the other characters. For example, Bellamy, who does not know the Kendrick family well (and our hero not at all until the beginning of the story) just knows how our hero will act or think. Does she think she knows him so well because her best friend, Brynn, spoke of him or because she heard stories about Brynn's parents? Even if that is the case it wouldn't be enough to make the kind of assumptions that she does.

Finally, this is solely personal preference, this was a case of insta-love. If I had paid more attention to the blurb, I would have known that prior to purchase so that is completely my fault. I know (based on reviews and message boards) that many readers enjoy love at first sight. I yearn for the slow burn though so I'm not likely to enjoy many if any of the insta- stories.

Overall, I did not enjoy this book and would not recommend it.

“This is why men suddenly change, shocking everyone who knows them, and one certain woman is instantly more than enough. Able to make them, unasked, do the frilly, special stuff for only her…She smiled like that.”

I always love stepping into Hall’s tales, there is just something so feel-good about her stories that make you want to come back again and again to see what’s happening with her CREW…well, now, we get a special insight into not just the CREW but the SQUAD as well.

Who is the SQUAD, you ask? The CREW had to grow up eventually…and have kids. Yes, the kids are coming of age and falling in love. One at a time…starting with JT Kendrick.

JT is just like his daddy. Straight Alpha with his eye on all the girls…until one flips his world completely upside down, making him realize and appreciate his parents relationship that much more. Not thinking it was possible to find a love like his folks, Bellamy comes as a complete shock to his system. And his heart.

Of course she would have to be his baby sister’s best friend. No complications there, right?

“What if he’s quick to lose interest in me? Do I have to move back? All the furniture I owned will be gone. And the critical, potential loss, the one I care about most and won’t be able to fix with some packing tape and a trip back to Goodwill…what if this is merely the first step in wholly giving in to him and I lose my heart?”

Girl’s got some trust issues, that’s for sure…but she’s never met someone like Jefferson Kendrick. And I can’t wait for YOU to get to know him too.

Watching the story unfold between JT and Bellamy, along with some great commentary from the whole CREW (Sawyer is still my favorite), you are sure to fall in love all over with Hall’s Evolve series, as well as this one…when everything truly comes FULL CIRCLE.

1st love, young love and forever love is exactly what this book is all about.
Bellamy is young and independent. She was raised learning to earn what you want in life. Nothing is for free. She has two loving parents who have sacrificed to help her along her path in life.
Her best friend has a super hot brother. But he is off limits for obvious reasons.. Until he isn’t! Then all bets are off!!!

JT, although young, is the ultimate alpha. He was after all raised by Dane Kendrick. He was brought up lucky enough to witness how a man should treat a woman. He was taught from a young age to protect those he loves and there is no doing things half way.
Easy to see why these two clash at times!!

When JT & Bellamy come together it is immediately obvious why they are so well matched. Even though he is the ultimate protector he happily hands over control of their relationship to Bellamy. Except in the bedroom, that is one place he is in charge!
This is one of those books that let you experience the excitement of a young womans 1st love and has you laughing at the way she brings a previous player to his knees! From the moment I started reading I was hooked and didn’t want to put it down until I saw how JT & Bellamy’s relationship ended up.

SE Hall writes with humour, experience and creative poise. She has the talent to draw you in, keep you invested in the story & leave you wanting more. This is exactly what happened to me while I was reading Embody.
Well worth getting your one click finger out for.

OMG!!! I've never laughed so hard while reading a little sister best friend love story.

Jefferson Tate Kendrick, JT, doesn't do relationships and never sees the same girl twice. He doesn't have that urge to find "the one" and be overly protective until he meets Bellamy Jill Morgan, his youngest sister best friend. The minute his sister sees how he looks at Bellamy she forbids him from making a move.

Bellamy Jill Morgan is a hard working college student holding down a part time job and full loaded college courses at the same time. She's an independent young lady and an only child that loves her parents dearly. She's a goal setter and doesn't have time for boys until she meets the very attractive brother of her best friend. She's instantly smitten but doesn't make a move.

JT is swoony, all alpha and bossy but in a protect what's mine type of way. He completely ignores his sister warning and goes after what he wants. JT and Bellamy butt heads because he wanted to give her the world but she didn't want his family thinking that she's a gold digger since he comes from money and she doesn't. Of course his crazy family doesn't think that.

JT bossy ways and Bellamy semi naive ways were hilarious and keeps you turning the page. She is a heroine with a backbone that was a joy to read.

This was a good romance book with very little drama and some funny as hell secondary characters with no filters. Every family has a Presley, lol. This is a must read.

This book was hot & steamy from the beginning.

The main characters of the story, Bellamy, who is bff's with Brynn. Little does Bellamy know or realize she is about to meet the man of her dreams, who, also is Brynn's big brother. Even though J.T. is a bit of a playboy, he knows instant attraction when he see's it. He is instantly attracted to Bellamy. He tries to hide those feelings but, of course that doesn't happen. Bellamy does not have money, does not come from money. Of course Brynn & J.T. come from a very wealthy family. Brynn & Bellamy have never had any problems getting along with her having more money. Brynn doesn't seem to flaunt things as much as J.T. does, yes, J.T. uses his money for good.

J.T. & Brynn do have a very noisy family. The father always seems to have knowledge of where the kids are and what they are doing. He must have their phone's tapped.

J.T. tells his sister he would like a chance with Bellamy, Brynn refuses and says no. Brynn doesn't even give J.T. a chance, she just tells him no.

J.T. wants a chance with Bellamy but, how will he get around Brynn turning him down?

J.T. realizes where Bellamy lives, and quickly uses his power and money to move her into a new apartment. I don't like how pushy J.T. is. He doesn't even ask Bellamy, he just moves her. I wish he would have been a bit more relaxed with her, actually talk with her before he did anything.

J.T. and Bellamy do 'date'. Kinda hard to do though with the family always interfering and butting in.

Ladies the crew has grown up and made little clones of themselves and let's get to know the new crew 2.0 the Squad. We fell in love with the biggest Alpha with the biggest heart Dane and if there is one thing we had to ask ourselves is how much like daddy is JT going to be?

JT has the good life a big supportive family best male role models from his dad to uncle Sawyer and the best group of friends ever. But one night and seeing his sister's friend and the wind was knocked out of him. Being raised by Dane and Laney Kendrick who knew from one syllable that they were each other's whole was big shoes to fill. But there was something about Bellamy that called to his inner beast and that was something he had to fight his beloved sister and his beautiful woman to explore.

Bellamy is strong willed earning her way through life but scared to allow herself that the sexy Jefferson would want the average pumpkin when he can have the sexy model but his determination to capture her heart was way harder than she thought. But with every way he touches her, talks to her and believes in her how can she say no and goodbye to him when he is the next breath she breathes.

Love the Kendrick way is fierce, strong and once you know you know it's forever. Can't wait to see and experience the rest of Squad find their better halves. Looks like Sawyers baby girl has met her match.

My rating is a 4.5

I was so excited for this book! Second generation Crew coming your way (the Crew being from Steph's Evolve Series) and seeing the Crew as parents to grown children who embody their parents love, devotion and passion, was just too much fun.

Jefferson Tate aka JT is known as a "playboy" to his family and friends. Not that he's disrespectful in any way...Sure he has the looks, money (which he never flaunts) and the good southern roots that his family helped instill in him, he's just never been one to go out with a girl more than a few times. But then he meets Bellamy and things change. There is a pull towards her that he's never had with anyone else. She's different but she's also off-limits because Bellamy just so happens to be his little sister's best friend.

This was such a fun read. Jefferson is every bit his father's boy... alpha, sexy and headstrong that things will be done his way. But he's also at a loss. He's never felt this way before and will him pursuing Bellamy throw a big wedge between him and his family - especially his sister? JT must come to terms with doing what's best for him or keeping the peace with his sister.

Fans of the Evolve series will love this book hard. And if you've never read the Evolve series, it's not a must to read this book, but you will enjoy it a little bit more once you know the crazy background of the Crew and why the actions of their children is payback, LOL.

SE Hall has a way of creating sweetheart characters, realistic plots, and steamy scenes blend into a consistently good time.

I really enjoyed the transition from “The Crew” to “The Squad” and all of the snippets of characters we’ve come to love. I’m going to admit something… I was worried. In the back of my mind, I wondered just how different the offspring would be… how from the apple would these children fall? I didn’t want to read stories with characters so similar that the only difference between them is in name alone.

Well, guess what? That was not the case. Each character, though not lacking similarities, is a definite individual; with quirks, speech, and interests all their own.

Okay, let’s get down to business: Embody.

A forbidden love? Maybe. A real one? Absolutely. JT and Bellamy certainly start of with fireworks explosive enough to set the field on fire (not literally, though that would have been hilarious). Of course, siblings are siblings and a litany of “damn it don’t do that!” moments screw with the readers heart, wondering if these two can just be left to figure things out.

Spoiler Alert: They are Kendricks, so, yeah right LOL

I really liked how Hall kept the story on the sweeter side of life. It was nice to just have a good story without an overabundance of drama – it’s just real life love. Plain and simple, but fab all the same.

This is my first time in reading this author though she is not new to me. The story caught my attention for some reason so I dove in. Right away I am caught up with the characters because they are colorful. JT himself is full of that alpha ego but not negative in the respect. Not a game player just not a long time player. He meets his sister BFF and he will be sunk. Him and his sister though go head to head about it which by now I am sitting back with a bowl of popcorn because these two with his family are hilarious is speech with all being entertaining to say the least. The attraction is mutual though with Bellamy with her being a interesting character too. She is fresh with honesty coming out in a delightful way. This is a perfect picture of love building with finesse. One a innocent in the two with care taken but their arguments are funny to see them talk it out. The heat is intense but it is slow to boil with you wondering when they will get burnt. I actually inhale this one with when I do get to the end search her novels twice for more of these guys from this novel. I for one will pounce on the next one that comes out.

Where in the world to start!

Virgin meets Alpha Max? Seriously amazing book. I read ALOT! and this is an amalgamation of all things I would look for in a story.

Hilarity off the charts (piss your pants worth), beautiful romance in a way that only a #BadBoy and #GoodGirl can create, family/friends that are solid as a rock and unhinged simultaneously.

Adore Jefferson and his over the freaking top caveman antics. Crazy for the innocent yet strong and sexy tamer of the bad boy, JT.

The cast of peripheral characters are worthy of their own stories, but especially Presley. OMFG!!!!

Click away people. Do NOT miss out on this book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book through Crazy Cajun Book Addicts for an honest review.

S.E Hall has done it again and hit another one out of the park with this book it's absolutely amazing!!!!
I loved getting to know the crew in the Evolve Series and now the squad will have their own stories for us to fall in love with. The storyline and flow just sucked me in completely I was up until the early hours as I just had to see what would happen next.

JT Kendrick is a bit of a player he's never really thought about settling down, the way he sees it, he's young and there's plenty of time for all that, that is until he lays eyes on his little sister's best friend Bellamy. She's beautiful and he's about to all caveman (in a total swoon worthy way) to make sure she will soon belong to him.

A total 5 star read and and I'm really looking forward to what comes next I'm especially looking forward to more Presley she's a complete hoot!

Jefferson is like all the other alpha males in his family, and the way he explains situations to his dad and uncles make him so lovable to me, “no, I got a girlfriend. A girlfriend whom I then got a car, who can’t drive worth a ****. Need to give her some serious driving lessons out in the boonies, where the only thing she can possibly hurt is a tree, or maybe an unfortunately slow-moving squirrel.” You can totally tell how appreciative Jefferson is of his woman's wardrobe choices by his behavior, “oh, hell yes,” Jefferson’s eyes rake over me from head to toe. “Giddy the eff up, baby. You make me wanna be a cowboy,” he growls his approval." When Jefferson doesn't approve of something the man let's it be known, “What the,” he sputters in disbelief when I jump off him in a single bound. “Where the hell are you going, woman? Something better be on effing fire!” I loved this book so much, I am so eager for the rest of The Squad to get their own stories

SE Hall delivers another heart felt, knee slapper story that everyone can relate to one character or another.

The "Squad" has just enough characteristics to remind you who their parents are. But even more differences that shine through to highlight their own individual personalities. It is a beautiful story to watch as Jefferson matures into the gentleman that his "Crew" of parents/aunts/uncles have worked so hard to raise him. SE nailed it from the sibling rivalry, to the girls' night, to the family get together. It all brings it full circle and leaves your heart full of love and butterflies!

I have enjoyed other books by this author and the writing style in this book is good. It's just the main characters I didn't care for or find realistic at all. They just came across boring and too perfect to be at all believable to me. I don't need gritty realism/lots of angst/sex/depressing life events etc. or similar in a story, but JT and Bellamy were too obviously fabricated perfect people that you make up for a romance novel. I ended up stopping halfway through because I found them too annoying.

S.E. Hall comes full circle with her newest release (hopefully) series with Embody focusing on her beloved Crew's children. In Embody, we get the pleasure of meeting the ever bossy, loveable, alpha male JT, the son of Dane and Laney. Hall doesn't disappoint by delivering another male character who is equally delicious as Dane Kendrick with whom we have all named and coveted as our book boyfriend. But Hall doesn't stop at just the perfect man. Instead she brings to live a vivacious, yet innocent spitfire named Bellamy. Bellamy doesn't just give JT a run for his money, she rules it in a effortless fashion that has you wishing you were as cool as her. Together they bring to life another chapter in an already wonderful Crew that has you coming full circle and begging for more.If you are looking for another series to become addicted to, then one click Embody.

I forgot just how much I loved all the characters from the Evolve series it made me want to go back and read them again.
JT is just like his dad Dane he's definitely a chip off the old block, I loved seeing Dane in dad mode he's everything I thought he would be. So JT is protective of his family some may say he's over the top but I love him, an alpha in training who's learned everything from his dad and uncles. Bellamy is such a beautiful character, she's funny and fiesty, independent, strong and so sweet and genuine that you can't help but like her.
I really enjoyed seeing JT become the man his parents and family had raised him to be, I enjoyed the slow burn of their relationship and getting to meet all the squad who hopefully we will see in future books.

This author is one talented woman. Her books get better and better. If you have read the Evolve series, then you need to read this one. This is about the next generation. JT is Dane's son and if you liked Dane then you are going to LOVE JT. he's so loveable. From the moment he met Bellamy in the woods, he knew he needed to have her. The only problem is, she's his sisters best friend and doesn't have the best track record with women. He was told to stay away from Bellamy. Such an amazing book! And I LOVE how we get to see what the gang is up to now. Can't wait for the next book

I absolutely loved Embody by SE Hall!! If you are a fan of her Evolve Series then you do not want to miss out on Embody. Embody follows the story of JT Kendrick. He is the hot, sexy, and definitely Alpha son of Dane and Laney Kendrick. I must say like father like son. ;)

Bellamy is sweet, beautiful, and fantastic. She blew me away with her humor and wit. She definitely knew how to handle Jefferson. Will her Best friend step in and ruin her possibility of happiness? Will JT turn out to be the playboy everyone thinks he is?
Guess you will have to read Embody to find out. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on The Squad and The Crew in this one! Thanks SE for another fantastic read!!

Omg this books was witty, emotional and just all around awesome. I was laughing out loud at points telling my husband that this family reminds me of ours. You know the kind of family that is always having a good time and no filter involved. It was beautiful how much he came to love Bellamy for a guy who didn't do relationships. There were many times I didn't think they were going to make it since we had an alpha male and a head strong woman. He not only loved her, he wanted them to be their everything. You know that special soul mate love that only some of us are lucky enough to find. My heart feels so full right now and he isn't even mine. Beautiful.

I really enjoyed this book. So witty, intelligent dialog is just a nice change after so many romance stories that have romance, but no real intelligent snappy conversations. JT is an adorable alpha and Bellamy is no dunce, who is feisty. She's no doormat either, I love that, it's rare when you have such an alpha male lead. All other characters are fun and entertaining.. This is a pleasure to read with little angst and lots of cute and sexy romance. I will absolutely be checking out ALL the other books by S.E. Hall :)

Embody can be read as a standalone (however it is the first part of a larger series and a spinoff of the Evolve Series)

Embody was an AMAZING Read! S.E. Hall did not let me down when it comes to the spinoff of the Evolve Series. Starting the Squad off with JT’s story made for an epic book that I could not put down.
JT is fun, loving, and holy hell Alpha that you can’t put down. Add in Bellamy and I was cheering with every turn of the page as she gave JT a run for is Alpha sanity.
I LOVED EVERYTING ABOUT THIS BOOK AND AM SO EXCITED FOR WHAT IS NEXT WITH THE SQUAD!

This book was A - MAZING. I laughed and giggled so much at the unbelievable banter and whit of the characters. I can't wait for the next one!!!! The squad and the rest of the relationship between the families makes you feel happy to be a part of, even if it by simply reading it. What an amazing writer, her ability to pull you in and see and feel the characters and the relationship the share. Thank you. Can't go wrong with this Book! Please write the next book in this series faster,I NEED read the rest...like NOW wink wink smile But no, I really do.

I absolutely love the Crew, so when S.E. announced these books, I was through the roof happy. I was so excited and to learn that Dane's son was going to be first, SWOON!

I was definitely not disappointed. This book made me laugh and had just the right amount of heart that S.E. always puts in her stories. It was light on drama, but definitely pulled on your heartstrings and you definitely felt for all of the characters.

I can't wait for the next book in this series. I am dying to see what S.E. will come up with next!

Jefferson Tate (JT) Kendrick is definitely a chip off the old block. Dominant, protective, generous and loving just like his father, Dane.

Bellamy Jill Morgan was adorable, tenacious and witty and held her own when dealing with The Crew & The Squad and their antics and the crazy family dynamics.

A beautiful mixture of the sweet innocent heroine with the confident alpha male that puts him through his paces. A must read for fans of the Evolve series.

Love this new series. This book was hilarious. Bellamy and JT are perfect together. I love that JT takes after Dane so much with just a touch of Laney. These kids or the squad are just as funny as their parents. It's a love story with plenty alpha male and comedy. Sawyer makes himself known in this book as well as the previous ones and it looks Ike Presley takes after him. Even though it's about JT and Bellamy's story it mixes in the whole family. Love this author, and this series. Can't wait to read the rest of them.

Embody is exactly what I love about new adult romance. Sometimes I feel that this genre has been twisted and warped into something misguided and over the top. But, Hall does this genre perfectly, every time! She keeps the basics: college kids, self discovery, and a touch of angst. However, what Hall creates with her characters is much more satisfying that other authors in the genre. Her characters are genuine and delightful!

Bellamy is a young girl, living on her own while attending college. Her parents are not wealthy and paying for college has been very difficult. So, Bellamy has a part time job as a waitress to help out. Her BFF, Brynn, comes from a LOT of money. Brynn is more than a stereotypical spoiled girl. She is sweet and shy and has finally made a friend in Bellamy. Neither of them have many friends. Both girls are more reserved; they aren't into the typical college party scene (a welcome change for this genre!). Bellamy is an only child, but Brynn has a very protective older brother named JT (Jefferson Tate). Jefferson falls for Bellamy pretty quick and wants to pursue something but Brynn does not want him to mess things up, potentially costing Brynn her BFF.

While the plot is predictable, the story is still butterflies in your tummy inducing. Jefferson is just like his dad, and once he knows he wants Bellamy, he makes it happen. Bellamy doesn't let him steam roll her though. She keeps him on his toes and I loved that about her. Jefferson and Bellamy have a great give and take with each other that is endearing and heartwarming. Embody reminded me why I fell in love with the new adult genre at a time when I was tiring of it pretty quickly.

If you haven't read Hall's other series, Evolve, you should. You don't have to read it first to enjoy this story, but you should read it to see why I feel in love with NA romance in the first place!

Bellamy is JT's sister's best friend, and according to that sister, Bellamy is off-limits to JT! Initially, he agrees, thinking that he'd rather make his sister happy, but with an attraction that can't be ignored, it quickly wins out. JT is extremely alpha and bossy, but in the sweetest way, while Bellamy is equally sweet and ends up completely overwhelmed by him, because let's face it, he's from an overwhelming family! JT's family are quite the crew (you may have met them in the Evolve series)...the family dynamics and antics will have you smiling and laughing.

This book was A - MAZING. I laughed and giggled so much at the unbelievable banter and whit of the characters. I can't wait for the next one!!!! The squad and the rest of the relationship between the families makes you feel happy to be a part of, even if it by simply reading it.

Love this new series. This book was hilarious. Bellamy and JT are perfect together. I love that JT takes after Dane so much with just a touch of Laney. These kids or the squad are just as funny as their parents. It's a love story with plenty alpha male and comedy. Sawyer makes himself known in this book as well as the previous ones and it looks Ike Presley takes after him. Even though it's about JT and Bellamy's story it mixes in the whole family. Love this author, and this series. Can't wait to read the rest of them.
