Our relationship was such a cliché.
Friends to lovers. High school sweethearts.
Then... driven by insecurities, I broke Grady Ryan’s heart.
I was weak, afraid to love, and even more afraid to be loved.
There are secrets I’ve kept buried but I can’t forget what we once shared.
I’ve been given a second chance and this time, I’m prepared to fight for him.
After six long years of silence, Bri Jameson is back in my life.
I never expected to see her again, especially not to share in the biggest opportunity of my career.
When she walks toward me across my football field, I can’t stop my heart from racing.
But time hasn’t stopped me from knowing her – and I know she’s hiding something.
I can only hope whatever it is doesn’t ruin me.
I’ve finally moved on and I won’t fall into her trap again.
I wish I could tell my heart the same thing – it’s just been waiting for her.
Waiting for Her is an emotional standalone second chance romance.

MY THOUGHTS AFTER READING...
This is my second ARC from Ms. Jennifer Van Wyk.
I've read a lot of stories similar to this one, but second chance romances never gets old. It always leaves you inspired and hopeful.
I enjoyed reading about Grady and Bri's love story... though there were parts where I rolled my eyes and thought it could've been better.
I'm a fan of a nice build-up... Although I'm not the writer, I feel like it needed more of it. Like Grady putting up a wee bit of a fight and not give in to the attraction and his feelings right away. I think the normal reaction to someone who broke your heart into pieces is to at least give it time and distance and try to gauge if this person is as sincere as they seem they come. He should've been more wary or cautious regardless of what her reasons were. A heartbreak is a heartbreak... I just wish there was a bit of a resistance to make it more butterfly-in-my-tummy-inducing story... plus that thing with Kennedy. His reaction to what she did isn't really the way how a normal dude would react... she got off easy.
Another thing is, maybe it would've been better if the author wrote more about their backstory—more of their history... like a highschool Grady falling for his bestfriend... kinda like a before and after... but thats just me.
All in all, I still loved it despite my opinions. Like I always say, I'm a huge romantic sap and that epilogue was very romantic... I was sighing practically the whole time I was reading it.
Aaaand, we'll leave it at that before I give away more spoilers... lol.
