When Ivy reluctantly takes a new part-time job, it’s a means to an end. Doing this favor for her pain-in-the-neck roommate means Ivy can have her apartment to herself again much sooner. The last thing she expects is Hugh—the hot Scot who just happens to be her new boss—asking her out on a date. And then another. And another.
Something about Hugh makes Ivy want to let her guard down and open up, which would be perfect if he wasn't possibly returning to Scotland in a matter of weeks. But maybe that doesn’t matter. Maybe Ivy can learn to live in the moment and have a little fun, even if it means setting herself up for heartache later.
ONLY YOU is a standalone contemporary romance about taking chances, unexpected friendships, and holding on to the things—and people—that matter most.
Ivy meets Hugh while doing a favor for her roommate. The attraction that bursts to life between them is sweet and slow. One date leads to another then another then another, until there is no denying that there is more than physical attraction between them. Are the newfound feelings enough though to hope for more when the end seems to be getting closer and closer?
Hugh and Ivy's relationship had a looming end time. He was due to go back to Scotland and she would be left behind. But the moments they shared, the times when it was just them and they got to really know one another, dug those hooks of want and need deeper into their hearts, tethering them together before they knew it happened. It opened their eyes to a life they would miss out on if they let each other go. Finding the courage to fight for what they want then taking that running jump into the unknown was worth the risk.
They discovered more than they ever dreamed possible.
I really, really, really needed this story. I've been looking for something to read that will engage me in a way that what I've been reading lately hasn't. I needed something slow, something a tad sweeter, something less in your face and more watch this grow. I'm so, so glad this story came when it did. Not only did the story and characters engage me, the lessons woven throughout the pages made me slow down, reevaluate, focus, and pursue.
This isn't what I was expecting but it's everything I needed.
Marie Landry’s life revolves around books; when she’s not writing them, she’s reading them, taking pictures of them for bookstagram, or blogging about them. An avid reader from a young age, she loves getting lost in characters’ worlds, whether they’re of her own making or someone else’s. She particularly loves coming-of-age stories with as much of an emphasis on self-discovery as on romance...but don’t leave out the romance!
When not doing bookish things, Marie can be found daydreaming (in general, but often about traveling through Europe), binge-watching shows on Netflix, and taking photographs. She lives in a cozy apartment in Ontario, Canada with the best roommate ever, and only sometimes imagines it’s actually a flat in London.
Marie loves to chat, especially with fellow book lovers.
