This was so cute and fun and adorable!! 😍
This was my first Samantha Leigh's book and it didn't disappoint.
Will and Abbie have known each other for years and have been best friends since High School, but neither of them ever wanted to commit to a serious relationship as they were happily enjoying their single lives.
Abbie owns a yoga studio with her apartment upstairs. Unfortunately for her, her studio floods and she finds herself homeless, and her one option is to move in with Will until both her apartment and studio are fixed. This shouldn't be a problem at all.
Will is an owner of a Bar, and he has high expectations and goals to expand and just achieve "more". What Will didn't expect is his one-night-stand from the past showing up at his doorstep with a 6 months-old baby, saying it's his, and then simply leave, leaving the baby behind to be taken care of by Will.
Hence enters Abbie. Moving in with Will and agreeing to help him out with everything so that Will can focus on his Bar and its growth, while also adjusting to fatherhood. Seems like a perfect plan!
Except for one tiny thing. Their feelings. 🫶🏼
I enjoyed so much meeting these characters and everything about them. I like their connection and chemistry, I like their overall relationship even before they realised their true feelings.
They're both supportive and caring and this story was just wholesome. And don't even get me started on that baby, because seriously, SO CUTE! 🥹
Read this one if you love:
💙small town romance
💙single dad
💙close proximity
💙friends to lovers
💙one bed
💙it's always been you
Thank you so much Samantha Leigh and The Author Agency for the ARC of this book!

I enjoyed this book a lot! I flew through it. I have a two year old son so I was able to relate to this book a lot. It was a really sweet story and the spice was so good!! Such a fun read!

Mmm…Only For You was an adorable best friends to lovers romance (who were already in a secret relationship 😂). Will and Abbie have been lifelong friends who didn’t want the pressure from their families to be in committed relationships, so they concocted a ruse that would convince their families they were together. This worked until Abbie’s yoga studio flooded and she had nowhere else go….only when she shows up to Will’s loft he’s just found out that he has a baby with one of his former flings. On top of this, Will has just set a deal to expand his business, but in order to do so he has to host a poker tournament as part of the town’s festivities for valentines day.
Will feels in over his head, but Abbie has total faith in him and decides to stay and help Will take care of Seb through all of this chaos. However, being forced to be around each other 24/7 starts making their true feelings come out and they start to realize that they cannot fight their love for each other any longer.
Watching Daddy Will take control and be successful and fall into his feelings for Abbie is wonderful and the more he watches Abbie with Seb the more he falls in love with her. Watching them take responsibility and be mature in this story is everything and makes for an even better story.
Daddy Will is definitely at the top of the book boyfriend list and the spice between them is explosive!! Lets just say there’s a stock room scene with tequila involved that will have you wanting more. 🥵 🥵
Samantha Leigh is a new to me author this year, but let’s just say I’ll be diving into her books from now on!! Also, I hope to see more of Adam and Liberty beyond the bonus epilogue. 😻
