A fun, dramatic, sexy, functional and super swoony romance with sensational chemistry and all the feels, this book completely swept me up, and I loved it!<\/p>\n Sean and Devney\u2019s romance has been hinted at in earlier books of these series. Best friends since childhood, there is a deeper connection between these two, but it\u2019s nothing that either of them have explored, or even really realized. Sean and his brothers ran from their home town years ago after suffering abuse at the hands of their father, and he\u2019s now a professional baseball player living in another state. Devney still lives in Sugarloaf with close ties to her family and no desire to leave. So, anything beyond friendship has never been an option.<\/p>\n But now, Sean is in the off season and is forced back to his home town for six months as part of a deal with his brothers to claim their inheritance, and he and Devney are together once again. And this book throws us straight into the action as they share a drunken evening together which ends with a kiss that rocks both of their worlds, bringing long-buried and unrealised feelings to the surface.<\/p>\n Devney has always known that she feels more for her best friend, but his career keeps him away and she has ties to the town that run deep. She has no intention of leaving, which puts them in a really hard position. But Sean is one persistent guy, and when he sets about wooing his best friend, it\u2019s flirty, sexy and so much fun!<\/p>\n \u201cHey, Dev?\u201d Oh, Sean! OMG, swoooooooooooon! He is the most loving, caring, devoted hero! It may have taken him a while to realise his feelings, but he doesn\u2019t shy away from them. He accepts them, welcomes them even, and he revels in it, declaring his love far and wide, and stopping at nothing to get his girl.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not playing a game with you, and I\u2019ll use whatever means necessary to win your heart.\u201d At the heart of these two is a strong emotional connection that seems to strengthen every day. I loved watching them work through all that they were feeling, talking about it and not hiding from each other. And once they open that door, everything changes.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s you, Devney. It\u2019s you and me, and I don\u2019t fucking know how it\u2019s taken me this long to see it, but we\u2019re supposed to be together. Somewhere along the way, we became more to each other.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n \u201cWe can\u2019t be more.\u201d<\/em> *dreamy sigh* Devney never stands a chance!<\/p>\n The love story is honest, functional and swoony with heaps of emotion. I fell in love with how in love these two are, and relished in every moment of them exploring their new-found connection.<\/p>\n But right when they seem to have found their HEA, one heartbreaking moment changes everything. It wasn\u2019t a surprising twist, but it\u2019s shocking in its intensity, and I read with tears streaming down my face at all that Sean and Devney are facing as their world turns upside down.<\/p>\n It\u2019s so emotional, but it\u2019s a beautiful, beautiful story. I love how this book is different from so many any other romances in that the couple come together early in the book and then face their challenge together. It\u2019s romance-lovers bliss watching them stand by each other and work together through their issues. And as secrets are revealed and lives are changed, they are forced to face heartbreaking decisions \u2013 what are they willing to sacrifice for love?<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re the one for me, Devney Maxwell, and I won\u2019t live without you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It\u2019s heartwrenching at times, but I loved watching Sean and Devney work through it. By their sides through it all are their families, and I loved their involvement. Devney\u2019s little nephew, Austin, and his hero worship of Sean is so freaking adorable. And of course, I loved seeing Sean\u2019s brothers again. Connor and Declan have already had their stories told, and I loved catching up with them, their girls and their kids, and now Jacob has arrived in town and I\u2019m super excited for his story up next! But it\u2019s the brothers all together that is so good. Their teasing and joking around is so much fun, and their love and support for each other is just gorgeous. The Arrowood boys have stolen my heart!<\/p>\n I loved this book. Blissfully romantic, deeply heartfelt, sexy, fun and so freaking swoony, it\u2019s a beautiful read.<\/p>\n 5 stars!<\/p>\n An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Come Back For Me (#1) <\/strong>(Connor & Ellie) Fight For Me (#2)<\/strong> (Declan & Sydney) The One For Me (#3) <\/strong>(Sean & Devney) Stay For Me (#4) <\/strong>(Jacob & Brenna) Destined for Me <\/strong>(Cayden & Hadley) <\/p>\n After spending months away from her husband while he was deployed, reading and writing was her escape from the loneliness. She enjoys putting her characters through intense heartbreak and finding a way to heal them through their struggles. Her stories are chock full of emotion, humor, and unrelenting love.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NEWSLETTER<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0WEBSITE<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>FACEBOOK<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>FB GROUP\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>|\u00a0GOODREADS<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n AMAZON<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>INSTAGRAM<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0TWITTER<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0PINTEREST<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0BOOKBUB<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0BOOK+MAIN BITES<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The One For Me by Corinne Michaels is live!

\n\u201cYeah?\u201d
\nI turn, letting my gaze roam her body once more before my mouth ruins the view. \u201cPut some clothes on unless you\u2019re trying to kill me. If you are, then, you\u2019re succeeding.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cAnd what if my heart isn\u2019t ready?\u201d
\n\u201cThen I\u2019ll wait for you, Devney. I\u2019ll wait until you realize that this isn\u2019t about a bet or anything other than us belonging together. I want us and you and everything that comes with that. I want to kiss you good night, wake up with you beside me, and love you the way you deserve. So, I\u2019ll wait for your heart to be ready because mine is ready enough for the both of us.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
