For 21-year-old Hunter Davis, being a lifeguard on one of South Carolina’s most popular beaches has its benefits. With his chiseled body, panty-dropping good looks, and penetrating blue eyes, he’s every woman’s dream and every father’s nightmare. So why would he want to commit to one woman? Love is not in his vocabulary. For 18-year-old Riley Hamilton, it’s just the opposite. Her father left when she was six years old, and her mother has been angry and bitter ever since. Riley finds solace in the thought that one day she will be worthy of someone’s love. So when her father calls—out of the blue—asking her to move to South Carolina with a free ride to USC, how can she refuse? When Hunter and Riley are suddenly thrown together, Hunter wonders if the demons from his past will come back to haunt him—or is the woman with the face of an angel the only one who can save him? Because of You is a sensuous and powerful debut novel—a story of love, loss, and the tragedy of holding on to family secrets.

This is the third book I have read by this author and I have enjoyed them all. She doesn’t try to be like any other author. She has her own style, which works well. She has found a successful formula and sticks to it. She is able to tell the story from multiple points of view without it becoming hard to follow. Each book tells completely different stories, with unique and intriguing characters. There is no repetition between the books and I recommend you read them all.I am not a romantic. Love at first sight does not exist. Having said that, this book makes me want to believe in it. Hunter and Riley come from different backgrounds, but both are haunted by their childhood. Despite the fact that their histories come out slowly, you quickly get to know them and feel like you are living the events along with them.
I do have a couple of complaints. Firstly, I am a fast reader, but when I really enjoy a book I like to slow down and savour it. This book didn’t let me do that. I was so hooked I just wanted to keep reading on as fast as I could to see what happens next. It was over way too soon. As well as romance, there is just enough mystery to keep you intrigued.
Secondly, at the time of writing this, there are no more books published by this author that I haven’t read. I am going to have to wait until book 4 comes out. I am not happy.

Because of You edition by Connie Lafortune Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This is a very good read. I feel like I knew the characters by the end and I'm sad when it's over. This is not just a sex story, but a love story. Connie is a very good writer and knows how to bring us right into the story. Once I started, I didn't want to put it down.
Because of You by Connie Lafortune is another quick read. It is a great story with a good plot, although it takes a while to figure it out.
Riley, just turned 18, leaves her emotionally abusive Mother and goes to South Caroline to live with her estranged Dad while she goes to school. However, she has some definite issues to deal with but has the summer to do so.
Hunter, 21, is a very messed up young man. He is a summer lifeguard and spends his days in the sun and nights investigating young ladies’ beds. He does only one night stands and is never wanting for company.
Both are now living with Scott, Riley’s father. Scott is Hunter’s lawyer and has allowed him to live in the garage apartment during the summer. Scott is completely tied up with his cases but tries to find time to work closely with Riley on rebuilding their relationship.
Sparks fly between Riley and Hunter as Scott pleads for them to go slowly. Will they get together? What about the mistakes made by both of them? Can Hunter give up his wild lifestyle?
Four and a half stars!
If you are looking for a hot bad boy romance book, this one is just for you. Boy, was it steamy! Hunter and Riley both have their personal demons, and this is not just a classic love story, but a story of how love helps heal the couple's wounded souls, how it helps them trust again. The change in POV was great, the book was very fast paced. I couldn't stop reading until I got to the very end.
The emotion in this book is intense. The two leads both have traumatic pasts with parents that are less than remarkable or supportive. They’ve dealt with things very differently. Riley wears her tenderness openly, while Hunter has put up a barrier and uses woman to numb his pain. Initially they seem too far apart personality wise but as things unfold I was cheering for them to find a way to heal each other. They had a smoking hot chemistry. There is a pretty big twist toward the end that really turned up the emotion another notch. I’ve now read everything by this author and can say all her books are must read.
I had difficulty putting this one down, a real page turner. The story revolves around Riley, a mentally and emotionally scarred girl who decides to take her father's offer and move in with him because living with her mother for the last 12 years has been a living hell. She meets a hot life guard named Hunter, a boy with a tortured past, and sparks fly as well as a lot of emotional drama between the two. Both have thick walls guarding their feelings so strongly that it tests both of these lovers constantly, but slowly these erode away and true love flourishes. There are many twists and secrets that will make you go "wtf?" so I won't spoil them for you. Just read it and enjoy this wonderful story, you won't regret it! I highly recommend this one!
This is definitely a good read for those who enjoy a steamy YA novel. Riley was only six years old when her father left. Since that time the mother has made the little girl’s life miserable by blaming her daughter for the abandonment. Now Riley’s turned 18, and the father she barely remembers offers to pay for college if she moves from northeastern Connecticut to South Carolina to live with and get to know her estranged parent.
Hunter is a hunky, 21 year old lifeguard who lives in the apartment over Riley’s father’s garage. Hunter’s a hottie with his own set of demons.
Dad is obviously a very wealthy man. His home is right on one of the most popular beaches in South Carolina and includes a groundskeeper and housemaid/cook. Riley learns quickly that the horrible treatment she received from her mother was completely undeserved. Life is good, and it gets even better when Riley and Hunter meet. The attraction between them is instantaneous and flaming hot.
This is a well written love story with enough secrets to hold the reader’s interest.
As silly as it may sound, I couldn’t quite give this novel 5 stars because of punctuation. It was very annoying and pulled me out of the story multiple times when there was a space between the period and the end quote—especially when the end quote would end up on the next line! “This is a properly punctuated quote-no space between period and end quote.” “This is NOT a properly punctuated quote-space or sometimes even a double space between period and end quote. “ It would be an easy fix.
