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

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

The seventh book in the Only One<\/i> series, and we\u2019re still going strong! This book is a fun, fiery, sexy story with two characters that I adored, and is a great addition to the series!<\/p>\n

Franny is the daughter of Matthew and Callie (Something So Perfect<\/a>), and she\u2019s just packed up her life and moved to Dallas for a fresh start. She has a happy and successful life, but she\u2019s busting to step out from under the shadow of her famous family and claim something that is just hers, and she\u2019s accepted a new job as a TV producer for a sports show, is full of ideas and determined to prove herself.<\/p>\n

Brad Wilson plays hockey for the Dallas NHL team. His teammates include Franny\u2019s brother, Cooper, and cousin, Michael, along with all of the other boys of the series, and Wilson is considered the \u2018bad boy\u2019 of the team. It\u2019s a reputation he probably deserves on the ice, but it is in no way a reflection of who he is as a person. He\u2019s actually a sweetheart, dealing with a lot, but he\u2019s confident with a great sense of humour, and I loved him pretty much instantly.<\/p>\n

Sparks fly when Franny and Wilson meet, and in a hilarious twist, it turns out they\u2019ve actually met before. It\u2019s clear they have chemistry, and their attraction sizzles, and their banter and flirting is smutty and so entertaining. There is attraction there, but Franny has walls up and she doesn\u2019t make it easy. She may be supremely sexually confident, but she doesn\u2019t date, and has no intention of starting with Wilson, though as the sexual tension between them builds, she makes it clear that she\u2019s more than open to sex. But Wilson wants more from her than that, and he brings the charm and the swoon as he tries to convince her to give him a shot for real, proving to her that he is so much more than the man that everybody thinks he is.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d I search her face.
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d She puts her hand out, groaning. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? I\u2019m suffering from restless vagina.\u201d I can\u2019t help but laugh out loud. \u201cDon\u2019t fucking laugh, Wilson, you put me in this condition.\u201d She takes the phone in her hand and slaps her bed.
\n\u201cOh, baby,\u201d I say softly, watching her blue eyes, and I suddenly wish I was next to her. Fuck, it\u2019s not sudden.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s sexy, fun, and full of chemistry, and I loved watching these two find their way to each other. From the very beginning their relationship is honest and functional, and they are absolutely gorgeous together. Franny is strong and sassy, and she\u2019s not about to let anybody push her around, and I love that about her. And Wilson may be a sweetheart, but he\u2019s definitely all alpha. They are a great match, their passion for each other is out of control, and their love story is fantastic!<\/p>\n

\u201cMake no mistake about it, Frances.\u201d His fingers come out of my hair to rub my cheek. \u201cYou\u2019re mine.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But just as they are finding their way, scandal hits. Those who read the previous book will know exactly what\u2019s about to happen, and I\u2019ve gotta say, I loved how it was all handled. The family is hilarious, and Franny is a freaking rockstar, and I was cheering for her and her badassery as they deal with the fallout and figure their way through it all.<\/p>\n

There are some great, though unexpected, family dynamics in this one. And even though Franny is Matthew\u2019s daughter, it\u2019s her Uncle Max who absolutely shines in this book. Their relationship is just gorgeous, and I love how he is there for his niece. The rest of the extended, extended, extended family is on board (seriously, it\u2019s getting hard to keep track of them all!), and I loved seeing them together. Alex, in particular, is a freaking riot, and I\u2019m so excited for her book up next!<\/p>\n

I loved this book. It\u2019s seriously steamy and lots of fun with a gorgeous romance.<\/p>\n

4.5 stars!<\/p>\n

\"\"When her nose isn\u2019t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she\u2019s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It\u2019s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn\u2019t listen to her\u2026<\/p>\n
