My One and Only
by Layla Hagen
3.5 STARS
Man, do I ever love He-Is-Grumpy-She-Is-Sunshine! And This book rocks it!
There were some really amazing parts of this book. Sheesh...the chemistry was panty-melting goodness! These two characters have sizzle from the instant they lay eyes in each other and they are HOT. I truly loved that Tess was a smart, hard working, driven, entrepreneur. She is passionate abut her business (and about life in general). I also loved how unapologetically Tess longs for children and a family.
Liam is all buttoned-up rules, charts, schedules, and business. Watching Tess loosen him up was a delight!
One thing I struggled with was Liam kind of morphed into an Alpha half way through this book (and then stayed there). On multiple occasions he gets jealous of HIMSELF when Tess refers to him in the third person. I mean....? That pretty ridiculous. There is a lot of you're "my woman" talk and I just don't like that. I get that some readers LOVE ALPHA MALES and they would really love this book. But it felt oddly out of place for me, especially considering that Tess is a highly driven business woman. It wasn't total caveman, but it was enough to have me rolling my eyes once or twice.
There were a lot of super-sweet and swoony moments between these two and a lot of steamy sex. I liked the friendships in this book and the familial relationships as well!
TRIGGERS: Drug addiction (not main character), emotionally distant parents.
I received an advanced copy of this title in exchange for my honest review.
