Hello Jenny Holiday, thank you for making my day! *hugs book to chest*

Jane Denning, YA author, eternal good girl, mother hen, and most dependable of her group of girlfriends, is given the task of making sure her best-friend's future brother-in-law doesn't mess up her wedding.

Taking the kind of bridezilla-y behavior in stride, Jane takes on the task, and is shocked when she discovers Cameron MacKinnon is going to be a far more difficult challenge then hand-waving table-runners out of sea grass.

Cameron, recently kicked out of the Canadian Armed Forces for reasons, is out to live up his unexpected freedom and return from deployment. Being saddle with a nerdy, good-girl baby-sitter was not on his list of things to do. Until he realizes Jane is exactly what he wants, maybe even needs, to do.

They may be perfect for each other, but they have their own hangups to conquer before they can be each other's one and only.

Gah. I am so happy after reading this book. Cameron, tattooed muscle-y ex-soldier with a heart of gold, a "fallen angel," is my new favorite book boyfriend. Everything about the conflict in this story felt realistic. There is witty banter, SUPER sexy times that Holiday makes you want long before you get them, and super great geek moments.

I also adore that Jane's gal pals are true friends. Even Elise, the "bridezilla," isn't really a bridezilla. She's obsessed with her wedding, but she isn't awful. And her friends take her to task, but also love her and go with her dreams. <3

Excellent, can't wait to read Wendy's book.

One and Only was absolutely delightful! I'd never read any of Jenny Holiday's books prior to this one, but the cover drew me in and I was intrigued by the reviews I saw. Plus, I enjoy a good romance set around a wedding. This one was funny, sweet and a lot sexier than I anticipated (which is NOT a bad thing, just to be clear) and I loved it.

As much as I love the hate to love trope, I was a little put off by Cam's attitude in the beginning. He was actually pretty mean to Jane for awhile there, so I was side-eyeing him hard. I can't tell you exactly when that began to change, but it did. It wasn't all that long before I was singing his praises. Jane, I basically loved from the start. She was safe and sensible and while that's not exactly exciting, it is relatable. Of course, I loved even more when she started to come out of her shell and take risks with Cam. Watching them begin to tolerate each other then become friends and ultimately more was a lot of fun and came with a few feels along the way.

Despite my initial reservations, I became a huge Cam fan. There was so much more to him than what met the eye, what he allowed people to see. I won't get into spoilers, but he was a bit broken and misunderstood. He really was sweet and thoughtful and, of course, a little bit dirty which I really liked. He and Jane, despite all their differences, had oodles of chemistry and some really deep feelings. I loved watching them discover each other and help change each other. I also fell in deep like, if not love, with some of the secondary characters, so I can't wait to continue this series!

I received a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
