Title: CAN YOU HEAR IT

Author: Casey Diam

Genre: Sports Romance

About Can You Hear It:

Secrets. 
Deceptions. 
Tragedies.
Those were the root of all evil. One of those became the root of mine the day I lost the love of my life. My best friend. My lover.
Everyone disregarded it, saying, “Let’s face it, Averie, you have the rest of your life ahead of you.” They were wrong. James Lawrence was my ever after . . . until Ashton. 
If only he didn’t come bearing his own brand of evil. 
A secret. 
The reason he wanted me to stay away. 
I should have listened, and he should have tried harder, but both of us failed. And if we hadn’t, if he had told me when we first met, would it have altered the moment I realized that I was falling for him?
The slight variation in the air. The hitch in my breath. The lightness in my chest.
Impossible to know; I’d already fallen.
I was already ruined.

***A standalone sports romance that takes place in senior year high school. Due to explicit content, this book is suitable for 17+

 What I thought about Can You Hear It

Averie suffers a huge loss when she loses her boyfriend James.  Now at a new school, she's still medicating her loss with alcohol and drugs. When she meets Ashton, he gives her hope that life can be good again, but he's also keeping a huge secret that can crush Averie again.

I did like Averie and Ashton's friendship-to-romance story and how Ashton's interest in Averie had some history.  I also liked the realistic portrayal of high school including the nasty stuff that the jealous girls engaged in and the partying.  It really bugs me to read a YA that ignores these realities, and Can You Hear It did not do that, nor did it glorify the drug and alcohol use. 

There's a nice cast of supporting characters from Averie's new school that I found interesting, especially Ryker and Brody. The adults were peripheral and uninteresting, excluding Ashton's dad who has an intriguing backstory. 

I did have some minor issues with this story that prevented me giving it a higher rating.  I found the first half to be a bit on the slow side and there were some aspects of the story pertaining to Ashton's behavior that needed more explanation but were never really expanded upon. But in spite of this, Can You Hear It did capture my interest with Ashton and Averie's story.

An ARC was provided for review.

Exclusive Excerpt:

 My lips pressed to hers. “You can touch me anywhere.” I kissed her again. “It’s whatever you want, Averie.”

I would be lying if I said I hadn’t been masturbating to images of her—every fucking day. Especially after talking to her on the phone at night. Her voice held this sexy rasp that sent all kinds of signals to my cock each time she spoke, and the wrong signals, too. It wasn’t the let’s-be-friends kind. It was the let-me-spread-your-legs-and-have-you-for-dessert kind, let-me-make-you-come-on-my-cock kind. And as we began to make out again, it remained in the back of my mind that I needed to tell her about my condition.

Kissing was okay.

Touching was okay.

But anything more than that, and I would have to tell her first. It wouldn’t be anything short of a betrayal if I didn’t. She wasn’t like the other three I’d slept with, she was more, I felt it every time I so much as looked at her.

Her hand moved over my zipper, and my cock lurched in my jeans, and as she began to caress me, a groan caught in my throat.

Fuck. Take my cock out if you want, I told her with my kiss. Whatever you want, Averie. Oh, fuck yes . . .

Her grip tightened around my dick as she continued to work it through the material, all I could think was how much I wanted to feel her bare hands on me.

With me on the brink of insanity, my lips crushed to hers, desperate with need.

After pressing myself into her hand, I rolled onto my back and flicked my belt from the loop, undoing it and my button in two seconds flat before yanking my zipper down. As her eyes shifted to my hand shoving at my jeans and then the tent pole situation in my boxers, I watched her.

Her fingers glided over my abs and under the waistband of my boxers, and inside to grip my cock.

Oh, fuck.

My head fell back, and a heavy breath passed my lips as my eyes closed.
