The love I have for this story is beyond words. I am forever in my small town era and I am now relocating to Reed Point to start a new life and settle down with a handsome man (I’d love for it to be Grayson, Jake, Holden or Tucker, but I’m not fussy). There’s something wonderful about starting a new series and meeting a new town that has it charm and stories. It’s an incredible feeling, and it was certainly there where starting One Good Move.
Grayson Ford opened his heart once, and that was enough for him, at least it was until one night in Miami where a leggy blonde started to change his mind, until she ran. A couple of years later and his mind has stayed the same, but when the blonde from that night shows up, it doesn’t take long for old thoughts to reappear.
Sierra is a treasure. When you find the person who can walk into a dull room and light it up, you hold onto them, and that’s what you need to do with Sierra, hold onto her. She’s not had the best past, but she had has a loving family who have allowed her to dream and go for what she wants. While missing her parents, her relationship with her brother and grandma is one that anyone would love to have. Sierra is a diamond, a beautiful diamond who deserves so much love and I’d be honoured to have her as my friend.
For those who haven’t read this story yet, I hope you love the chemistry as much as I did between Sierra and Grayson. They are so in sync and perfect together. Once they reconnected and the tension started to grow, I could feel myself wanting to scream and shake the author a million times for the cruel interruptions she would include. I was DESPERATE for them to have that first kiss again, and when it finally happened? LORD WAS I HAPPY.
I cannot express a single negative with this story apart from the lack of diversity within the story. It would’ve been lovely to see difference races and people who maybe have a disability or something else that allows diversity to be represented! Apart from that, it completely ticked my boxes. One thing I loved about this story is that there was no third act break up and that the plot didn’t go the way I was expecting it to. I love being surprised and Lily really strayed from the typical cliches that take place in a story like this. The characters were so mature, and it just made me so incredibly happy. The relationships between everyone were honourable and unique, none were cold, they were all mature and grown up (something you struggle to find in each and every story).
Truth be told, I could go on for hours and hours, but I think you’d get fed up of me and I’d end up giving the story away. But I would like to mention one more thing. THE COMMUNICATION 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 HELLO LILY? CAN I HUG YOU? YOU’RE ONE OF THE BEST AUTHORS FOR ALLOWING PEOPLE TO COMMUNICATE WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG RATHER THAN THERE BEING MISCOMMUNICATION AND PERTY ARGUMENTS. THANK YOU QUEEN.
Finally, I beg you go and read 5his absolute gem of a story, and I CANNOT wait for Jakes story, he’s a DILF and I’m simping hard.
