Allison doesn't know what it's like to live life like an average teenager. After losing her parents at a young age, Allison moved in with her grandmother. When she meets Aiden, the boy next door, they become fast friends. Aiden and his family become more to her than just next-door neighbors. They become her family.

Liam is living the dream. His senior year at college, and he's the big man on campus, the quarterback for the football team. Rumored to be drafted to the big leagues he's focused and determined. Eat, sleep, and breath football. Then he meets his little sister's roommate, and suddenly football is no longer his only focus.

Liam has never been a relationship guy, and Allison wants the happily ever after. Can Liam overcome his fear of relationships and the tangle of friendships to give Allison her fairy tale?

This is my second time reading Anywhere With You. I will be doing a re-read of the next two books in this series as well. I recommend that you read all of Kaylee Ryan's book. I have read them all at least once and I love every one. This is a very easy book to read because for me, the story was just so sweet and full of love. You get to see Liam and Allison's relationship begin and grow with each turn of the page. Liam is such a sweetheart. He's not looking for a relationship, but when he lays eyes on Allison for the first time, he can't help but to feel a connection to her. The same goes for Allison. She is young and innocent and really apprehensive to give in to her desire to be with Liam for fear he cannot commit to a relationship. There are a few sad moments, but personally I think Liam is the highlight of the story. I don't want to say too much for fear of ruining the book for someone who hasn't read it. Just know that I enjoy this author's books and always look forward to the next one.

I have read a lot of honestly awful reviews about this book. If you read the intro you know what you are in for, so for some of the reviews i'm just not sure what they were exppecting. What I was expecting and what I got was a sweet, tender, story of first love.

I got a story of a guy who never cared beyoond his football until that one day.... when he met her. And I got a "her" that deserved this guy's love and to be the center of his world. I don't care that there wasn't drama to tear my stomach up, or that they didn't have a huge break up scene. Life works this way, or we all hope it does sometimes. Not everything has to be fought for with knives and rocks. Sometimes things are just right. I thinkt he tension in the begining of the story before they even try to get together was perfect knowing their characters and how they felt for one another. They were cautious but not afraid.

So despite all the other reviews, if you are a romantic at heart and love feeling heart in a story and seeing a great ending - read this. It's worth your time. It was just what i needed right now and I have promptly gotten the second book in the series excited to see Hales and Aiden's story next.

Don't listen to all you read review wise, this is a book that means what it says, it's a love story and if that isn't for you, walk away - if you are a princess at heart and love the "hearts and flowers" buy it now and you won't be let down!
I love this story!!!

I enjoyed this book. I like how the author brought the characters to life with situations that were relatable to real life. This story unfolds and makes you feel as though you are front row to these characters lives. Very well written. Some grammatical errors and missed punctuation, but nothing you can't make it past. I think the best part of this is how Allison and Liam's love story unfolds. I would absolutely recommend this book ( series) to any of my fellow reading friends.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, but felt rushed
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2014

I really liked the storyline in this book. All of the characters were easy to like, and I immediately added both Liam and Aiden to my book boyfriend list (oh, but especially Liam!). My issues/dislikes:

1. Grammar/editing-missing/misplaced commas, missing words, and your/you're mistakes...while not totally rampant to the point of distraction, these errors were noticeable as they occurred multiple times

2. The pace and flow of the story-the story is told from the viewpoints of both Allison and Liam, the two leads in the book. I do like reading stories like this so you get to hear both sides of the story, but I didn't care for the overlapping of scenes and rehashing that came with it-it interrupts the flow of the book for me since you keep going forward and then back again. While yes, you then get to "see" the scene from the other person's point of view, it keeps pulling the timeline back and forth, and not necessarily adding much to the story in the process. Thankfully as the book went on there was less and less overlap as each character told their chapter. Another thing about pace-at the beginning, the story seems to proceed at an unhurried pace, but the second the two characters finally come together, it feels like everything is too fast-the pace of their relationship goes from zero to one hundred in the blink of an eye. I get that it's supposed to reflect the love-at-first-sight type of relationship they have, but it feels like it is actually too fast.

There are other time issues, such as how it was explained that the girls would go to all of the home games but not usually the away ones depending on where those away games were, making you feel like the timeline had progressed into the football season, but then later on you suddenly are back at the first game of the season again and not as a flashback-the timeline just backs up.

3. The tie-it-up-with-a-bow-neat aspect of the ending. Yes, I love HEA endings. But the way the author just wrapped everything up at the end felt extremely rushed...and the outcome of the draft was just unrealistic (by the way, it's the Carolina Panthers, not the North Carolina Panthers...or was this just how the author set up the world of the book?).

Don't get me wrong--I really liked the story itself, I just feel the way it was told was rushed, especially the ending, once you reach the point that the two leads finally hook up. I believe the book could benefit from a fleshing out--it felt too short for the story that the author was trying to tell. My overall impression is a sweet, short read that could use some work to turn it into a fuller, less rushed story.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sehr langweilig und farblos: Was passiert denn eigentlich?
Reviewed in Germany on February 22, 2014

Ich denke, ich habe drei Kritikpunkte an diesem Buch gefunden.
Erstens, es gibt keine Handlung. Allison und Liam verlieben sich ineinander. Punkt. Sie treffen sich zum ersten Mal, es ist Liebe auf den ersten Blick, sie kommen zusammen, sie bleiben zusammen. Mir scheint, als strebe die Geschichte auf kein Ziel zu (mal abgesehen von dem Heiratsantrag, der aber schon im ersten Drittel des Buchs erkennbar wird). Es gibt kein besonderes Ereignis (Wettkampf, Prüfung o. ä.) das angestrebt wird; stattdessen plätschert die Beziehung der beiden so vor sich hin, und ich frage mich, warum ich immer noch weiter lesen soll.
Über den mangelnden Inhalt könnte man hinweg sehen, wenn das Buch einen mit Witz und Charme bestechen würde. Aber die Charaktere sind farblos und blass. Was weiß ich über Allison, außer dass sie gut kocht? Die Dialoge sind langweilig: Es gibt nichts zum Kichern oder Schmunzeln oder etwas anderes, das irgendeine Reaktion (außer Genervtheit) in mir auslösen könnte. Nicht einmal die Nebenfiguren können punkten. Ich fand in diesem Buch niemanden, mit dem ich mich halbwegs identifizieren konnte.

Es gibt also nicht mal mehr eine richtige Handlung, und dann ist das, was präsentiert wird, auch noch sehr langweilig und charakterlos.
Schließlich möchte ich noch erwähnen, dass das Frauenbild, das hier wiedergegeben wird, etwas bedenklich ist. Allison heult sehr oft und sehr viel und ihr Typ greift jeden Kerl an, der sich ihr nähert, und "beschützt" sie die ganze Zeit über. Ich frage mich, ob das Bild von schwachen, ständig Schutz suchenden Frauen wirklich angemessen ist in unserer heutigen Gesellschaft! Aber vielleicht ist das hier auch nur ein Einzelfall... ich möchte nichts unterstellen.

Mein Fazit fällt dementsprechend sehr negativ aus. Ich würde dieses Buch nicht weiter empfehlen, auch nicht denjenigen, die nach leichter Lektüre suchen. Um ehrlich zu sein, werde ich es auch nicht fertig lesen, obwohl ich kurz vor dem Ende stehe.

Einen Pluspunkt gibt es: Die Sprache ist sehr einfach gehalten. Ich hatte kaum Verständnisprobleme beim Lesen des Englischen.
