Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

I love this book! It’s sexy, fun, swoony and gorgeously romantic, a wonderful example of why I love this series (and all of the books that came before it), and it was everything that I wanted for my beloved \u2018Mini Cooper\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Best friends to lovers
\n\u2714 Hot hockey player
\n\u2714 Single Dad
\n\u2714 Angst-free
\n\u2714 Insanely sexy
\n\u2714 Awesome \u2018Something So\u2019 series tie-in!<\/p>\n

Fans of Natasha Madison will know all about \u2018Mini Cooper\u2019. He is the son of Matthew and Karrie (from Something So Perfect<\/a>), the Grandson of Cooper and Parker (from Something So Right<\/a>), and therefore connected to the entire Something So<\/i> crew. He also plays hockey for the Dallas NHL Team and so is a part of the Only One<\/i> family. Cooper is now all grown up and out on his own, and oh holy damn!<\/p>\n

Cooper got himself traded from NYC to Dallas in order to make his wife happy. It\u2019s not a move he wanted to make, and though it wasn\u2019t a happy marriage, he wanted to stay true to his vows, make his marriage work, and provide his two little girls with a family. But even the change of scenery didn\u2019t help. He stuck it out for a few years, until his wife instigated a divorce and he is devastated and feeling like a failure. Luckily, he has his best friend and agent, Erika, by his side to help him get through it.<\/p>\n

Erica and Cooper have been working together since Cooper got his first big break. Over the years they have become the closest of friends, and since his marriage imploded, they\u2019ve become even closer. They are each other\u2019s rocks, there for everything, they talk every day and spend as much time together as they can. They are pretty much in a relationship, just without the sex and romance, but there\u2019s never been a hint of anything romantic happening between them\u2026 until alcohol and one steamy kiss blows that completely out of the water.<\/p>\n

Oh my God. I said this book is sexy\u2026 this book is INSANELY sexy! Cooper and Erika are on freaking fire together. Passionate, intense, and kinda filthy, they are all over each other. And although Erika initially has some doubts, Cooper, like his father before him, recognises what he\u2019s found, the start of something big, and he\u2019s not about to let Erika get away.<\/p>\n

\u201cCooper,\u201d I whisper when he stops kissing me, and his forehead touches mine. \u201cWe have to forget this happened,\u201d I say, looking into his eyes. I\u2019m expecting him to agree with me. I\u2019m expecting him to tell me it\u2019ll be for the best, and we can put it behind us. What I\u2019m not expecting is for the next words to come out of his mouth.
\nHis mouth goes to a smirk. \u201cNot a chance in fucking hell.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Their friendship effortlessly (and passionately) shifts into a relationship that is easy and natural, and so damn sweet. They are so right together, you can feel<\/i> that they belong together, and I loved watching them embrace their feelings and just go for it. The sex continues to be insane. Like, porn-worthy sex with multiple positions, lots of dirty talk, and too many orgasms to count! All of it a reflection of the playful-yet-intense dynamic between these two, and their growing feelings for each other.<\/p>\n

They do have some issues to overcome, but there is no angst or stupid behaviour. Cooper refuses to allow it (and God, I love that!). It\u2019s just two people navigating a change in their relationship and all that that means, allowing themselves to fall, and I loved watching it happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever happens, you will never lose me.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The rest of the Only One<\/i> couples all feature, and I loved catching up with them. But one of the best parts of this book for me was the family beach holiday with the entire Stone\/Grant crew. This is a fantastically hilarious and close-knit group. Everyone is all grown up, and there are a whole bunch of new characters introduced as we got to meet more of the kids (most of who will have stories told as the series continues), and Matthew and Max\u2019s snarky bromance continues to be endlessly entertaining.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllison!\u201d Matthew shouts to Allison, who is sitting with Vivi and Franny. \u201cWhere is your husband\u2019s leash?\u201d
\n\u201cShe\u2019s the one who wears the collar,\u201d Max chides, winking at Allison whose cheeks turn pink, and I almost die when Matthew pushes him. My mouth opens in shock as Michael just grimaces.
\n\u201cYou guys are gross.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is such a fun read. I loved seeing Cooper all grown up and the single dad to two adorable little girls – seriously, they are just gorgeous, and the scenes with them together are so sweet. The romance is beautiful, swoony (and hot\u2026 did I mention the hotness?), and he and Erika are an amazing couple.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an epilogue which finishes off the book really nicely, and a lead into Michael\u2019s book up next (Michael is the son of Max and Allison).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m loving this series, and can\u2019t wait to continue on.<\/p>\n

4.5 stars!<\/p>\n
