"When I finished the story, I set my Kindle down, and just breathed, my love for the genre has been rediscovered.” ~ Amazon Reviewer

“Throughout the whole book there was never a moment where I was not completely enthralled. Glued to my Kindle, forgoing all food and drink except for coffee I could not put the book down.” ~ Amazon Reviewer


Mia Collins has an amazing life. She was popular in high school, and college is off to a great start. Everything seems perfect until she goes home for the break and everything changes...

One night sets everything in motion and Mia’s world begins to fall apart. She’s stunned that the life she thought she knew was all a lie. After she loses her family, she’s forced to start over. This time though, she vows to not let anyone get close to her again - to not get hurt again.

But life has a funny way of doing the opposite of what you ask for...

Colton Hunter is the captain and quarterback of a winning team. With killer looks and so much money he doesn’t need his football scholarship, you’d think that he would have nothing to worry about.

But behind his picture-perfect life lurks a dark secret - something that Colton has been forced to keep to himself for fear of what happens if he speaks out. Torn up inside by the deceit, he shuts everyone out, not allowing anyone to get close enough to see what hides behind the mask...

That is until a girl crosses his path, shaking his resolve and forcing him to realize he doesn’t have to be strong all the time.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book isn't about finding someone to fix you because one person can't fix all your problems. It's about two people finding each other and building each other up instead of knocking each other down. Yes, they have their bumps, and boy is there some intriguing little twist within these covers. Oh man, I think I'm giving away too much. But it felt you just had to know that." She Always Reads

"Gianna Gabriela has blown my socks off with this incredible, heartwarming read. With every kindle page I turned it's as if I could experience everything that Mia and Colton were going through. I am someone who refuses to spoil a great read, so all I can say is go read it, because you will not be disappointed." Author Elizabeth Knox

"Such a sweet and lovely book! If you're looking for something to enjoy without high anxiety hell, I'd highly recommend! It's well written and well developed!" Author Jessica Ruben

"I love discovering new authors and ones where they have a first story because I get to follow their path. This story sucked me in the heart of these wonderful characters that made me feel so much. Once I started reading it, I couldn't seem to want to put it down for very long. It was an addicting and captivating story. A beautifully written story about learning to trust others. The writing style shows maturity and professionalism. The characters were created to perfection where I got to connect with them. Bottomline is this is a must read." TDC Book Reviews

"The banter between them was spot on. It was very relatable. I loved her spunk and his cockiness. The desire that built up between them was so intense it was almost palpable. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I won't go into it anymore than this." Author J.P. Epperson

"How is this a debut novel? I'm not quite sure, but I'm so pleased to have read it. There's a lot of raw talent that this writer possesses, which is shown by absolutely slaying her first novel. Great, great work with an intricate plot and super unique twists and turns.I really loved Mia and Colton, and can hugely respect the amount of time the author put into creating this characters. Of course, I loved Colton, but I especially enjoyed how much he grew as a character after meeting Mia.You will not be expecting anything while reading this book, which is something I also very much enjoyed." We Like Them Dark

"This book was amazing! And it's really hard to believe that it is the author's debut novel! It was just that darn good! It's a Clean ya, college sports romance about starting over and moving on, falling in love for the first time and dealing with life in general at a young age.These characters are crazy strong to deal with everything they have dealt with. I loved every single thing about this book. I finished it in hours because I couldn't put it down." Under Covers Book Blog

Better With You is about your typical hot college jock ...
Forewarning readers... once you start you won’t be able to stop!! 5/5 STARSGianna Gabriela has just gotten a 10.0 on the 1/4 mile with her first book ever. Better With You is about your typical hot college jock Colton and the beautiful nerdy type newbie Mia. When Mia literally runs into Colton in class she is immediately turned off, but Colton is immediately turned on. Both have been hurt by people they loved and trusted in their pasts which has left them extremely guarded. It takes one task to start taking those guards down but just like life itself they are thrown some obstacles they need to overcome. Will they do it together or alone? Will they be able to put their fears aside and be truly happy together? You will have to read to find out. This is the first book in the Second Chance Series.You would think as you read this story that Gianna has been writing stories her whole life, but she hasn’t. Her writing had me hooked from the first page. I am looking forward to reading more books by her in the future. Congratulations Gianna on the success of your first book ever!! I am now a fan for life.

I finished this book after midnight last night as I didn't want to put it down. Better With You is Gianna's debut book, it was great and a MUST read for 1018. I never wanted to put it down but I had to so I could look after Mr 3 and Miss 4 month old. If I could I would of locked myself away to read it in on sitting. Her writing had me hooked from the first page.

Mia Collins has an amazing life. She was popular in high school, and college is off to a great start. Everything seems perfect until she goes home for the break and everything changes...

Colton Hunter is the captain and quarterback of a winning team. With killer looks and so much money he doesn’t need his football scholarship, you’d think that he would have nothing to worry about.

The main characters were strong and the storyline was amazing. I loved the relationship between Mia and Colton.

I loved this story from beginning to end. I highly recommend this book and I can not wait to read the next books in the series and whatever else Gianna writes.

BETTER WITH YOU is the first book in the "Bragan University Series" and is a fantastic foundation for the books to come.

Bragan University IS football - Actually sports of all kinds.

BETTER WITH YOU features Colton who is the star quarterback and Mia. They have a meet cute (of course) and their relationship evolves from there.

This was a very enjoyable NA story. It flows well from beginning to end and as each character is introduced, it is done in such a way that I was able to keep track of all the characters and enjoy the story.

This sweet story made me grateful that I am no longer in college while at the same time made me nostalgic to be that age again.

I read the story in one sitting and immediately picked up book 2.

This book surprised me. For being a new author and her debut book it was so good I couldn't put it down. I lost sleep reading this but it's ok because it means it was that good. This second chance YA romance can be read by all ages too. It was refreshing to go back to younger days. Meet college good girl and College football star both dealing with issues from their past. I loved Mia and Colton. They both have past issues they are dealing with and trust is the biggest one. Will they be able to overcome that. Thrown together for a school project they discover they might be able to help each other deal with their personal problems. Read about them while they open to each other, start falling in love and then have one mistake that might take it all away. You need to read this to find out what happens to them. A story about trust, friendship, jealousy, and love. Will they get a second chance. A must read. You will fall in love with these characters and Mia and Colton for sure. I so can't wait for more. I will definitely be reading her books. Great Job!

I really like this book. Mia and Colton have instant chemistry and that is written really well despite having no sex scenes. That's why I'm a little surprised I like this book as much as I do. I generally like some steamy love scenes. Mia and Collin are more than just make out scenes, they're two characters that are pretty mature for they're age, and I feel like they are a perfect match. Nothing in this book feels rushed, it goes at an easy pace with minimal angst.

Would I read more of the series: yes

Amazing story! They each have betrayal and distrust to overcome, and they find hope with each other. The characters were well developed; only at one point in the story did an action seem out of place. The plot was good, the pacing will done. I would've liked more setting simply because I've heard how amazing New England falls are. Characters for future books were present throughout this story, and we'll see Mia and Colton in those stories, I'm sure. Probably the best part of this story was that Colton respected her decision to wait until marriage for sex, even though he has the reputation of a player.

This YA romance debut book by Gianna Gabriela is a must read and perfect for anyone! I could not put it down!

Mia’s world fell apart when she came home for break one year and she wakes up to her parents arguing and her Dad drinking. Her Tragic family history after that changed Mia from the easygoing person that she was into one who was focused on getting an education and keeping herself protected from heartache.

Colton was the star football player who wanted to play professionally, but was determined to get a good education in case that didn’t pan out. He had partied hard his first couple of years becoming a ladies man but the situation that he was hiding forced him to grow up, mature and he took responsibility not only for himself but for his twin brother and sister. His incredible guilt caused him to be too protective of everyone he cared about.

When they meet their relationship is full of sparks. She is different than anyone he has ever met. She is not caught up in his Football royalty status. She doesn’t treat him special and gives back more snarkiness than she gets! I love their dynamic! She is behind him 100% as she makes him work for their relationship and tries to teach him that he doesn’t have to be the strong one all the time!

I highly recommend this book and I look forward to the books to come! Gianna Gabriela is an Author I expect to see more great books from!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice characters... but rushes to the finish line!

I have to say I got to this title and to this author by chance, thanks to the book being free! It was not a waste of time as often happens when an eBook is available for free. The story, though nothing new and unheard of, unfolds in a very nice way. The protagonist Mia is a girl with personality and so is Colton - not at all the clichèd quarterback who one reads about in most stories of this genre. Their interaction is fresh, witty, funny and pushes the reader to turn page after page to discover how they are going to get where we all know they are going to from the beginning of the book. Because this is no big revelation!
I have to say that I thought Mia was far too naive and easily manipulated at some point of the story, which I didn't think reflected her personality which had been beautifully drawn by the author. I mean, I would have probably told Mia to get lost after she cuts Colton off for the 10th time without letting him explain himself. It is very childish and a bit unreal in that context. Also, the story speeds up so much at some point, rushing to the end so fast that it left me a bit puzzled. Why not take the time to give justice to everything in a proper way since the author has done so well in setting everything up at the beginning? This is the reason I gave it three stars and not four. As a romance it really works though, it is worth reading for a bit of light entertainment!

Gianna did amazing job riding this book. She made you feel a part of Mia's and Coltens journey to find happiness together as one.
Overcoming a woman that was not wanted, Colten had to resort to tatics that maybe considered mean and ignorant, Gianna displayed the challenges he faced with this woman who couldn't take no for and answer. He carried a dark secret that he thought woulx distory his family, however it brought them closer than ever.
Mia is a strong woman who had a a tough go. She was able to overcome her past and made her she that she has a bright future with her family and with Colten.
A great book, highly recommended
