If It's Only Love

While reading this series, I've always felt like Jackson Harbor would be a place that could feel like home. If It's Only Love brought back that feeling and made me very happy. I love this setting and places like this make me want to move and live there.

If It's Only Love is the sixth book in this series and I think after reading Shay and Easton's story, that this one is my favorite. I've enjoyed them all so far, but this one just stands out. Once I started reading If It's Only Love I couldn't stop. Part of the reason I love it so much is the way it's set up I think. This book is split up in parts and swtiches between the past and present. That made me connect with this story so much more!

Shay is a smart girl. Even though she hasn't always been happy with her body, she's definitely gotten some more confidence. I think I connected with Shay the most, because of her love of books. Mentioning reading Harry Potter and she definitely scored points with me. Shay is a hard worker and has devoted a lot of her time and energy for her degrees.

Easton has been a part of the Jackson family since he was younger. He's been friends with one of the brothers and basically all of the family knows him well. Easton loves sports and even played for the NFL professionally for some years. I liked him from the start. He's definitely more sensitive and very caring! 

The feelings and connection between Shay and Easton isn't something new and has been going on for years. Every once in awhile they give in to their feelings and are together for a night. These moments made me smiling, but also broke my heart when they weren't able to get their happily ever after. Seeing them so many years later when Easton moves back brought so many more feelings.

I'm a big fan of second chance romances and even people just finding each other again. If It's Only Love is definitely fille with some angst and things don't always go smoothly, but that makes it so worth it! The events we read about between past and present takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride. I loved these characters and just wanted them to end up together.

Once again, this author gave us a book that makes you laugh, cry, get angry and just want a happily ever after. Add some steamy scenes and this romance is complete. On top of that, the characters we've come to know and love are in some way a part of this story as well. I love reading about them after reading their story!

I'm sad this is the last book, but all of them were amazing! I hope Lexi Ryan writes more books like this in the future!
