ONLY YOU (Adair Family Series #5) by SAMANTHA YOUNG

“Life’s about choices. Just have to be sure you take time to think about things before you make your next move.”

Only You by Samantha Young is the fifth and final book in the Adair Family series and what a fabulous series this has been. We have loved every single minute spent in the Scottish Highlands with the Adairs and their loved ones. Finding romance, healing broken hearts, and soothing open wounds into scars of bravery. Love and light can be found in the darkest of places whether it’s by a healing hand, forgiveness in the heart, or opening up to a stranger. Family, loyalty, protection, compassion, understanding, and friendship running through the pages of every single book in this wonderful series which we have a tremendous love for. Only You is an emotional friends to lovers, second chance, enemies-to-lovers romance that sees Brodan Adair and Monroe Sinclair working through eighteen years of hurt to mend the broken bridge of love and friendship. A beautiful and passionate journey that we couldn’t put down.

“You have no idea how it feels to live your life with no one who truly loves you…No idea how lonely that is.”

Only You sees the movie star Adair brother, Brodan returning home to the fold after working himself to the bone in the movie industry. The lost boy returns home to mend fences and in some ways finds himself again. Brodan has been running from his problems as well as his heart and needs to find his true happy place, his self-worth, and who better to be there to catch him than his truly lovable family, the Adair’s who have the intrinsic value of family at their very heart.

“I’ll wait for you to be ready. To work through what loss has done to you until you’re ready to be brave. To be with me.”

Monroe Sinclair has been dealt a crappy hand in life. Growing up in an abusive home and having to suffer more through her early adult life, her only light in the darkness was Brodan Adair, until he wasn’t. Brodan, the love of her childhood years and adult life, and the man Monroe now has to face whilst dealing with the intense hurt and buried feelings.

‘Patience wasn’t one of my virtues, but for Monroe, I’d have all the patience in the world.’

Brodan and Monroe’s journey is not an easy one, between their loving beginnings, the missed years, and the resentment and broken hearts they have to learn, forgive and rebuild. They have to delve deep and open up to each other in order to heal. Having the warm embrace of the entire Adair family, the loyalty, and the protection, their journey couldn’t begin again in a better place. The heart.

“It hurts,” he whispered hoarsely. “How much time we lost.
I nodded. “I know.”

Samantha Young is a bloody superstar! We get absolutely giddy when a book has an epilogue, we truly believe that an epilogue can be the difference between a good book and a great book. But this Author took that ‘giddy’ and elevated it to an ‘ecstatic’ because this was an epilogue on a whole other level. Readers, who like us have absolutely loved this series will LOVE this epilogue. It finished off the series on an absolute high and left us clutching our kindles with massive smiles on our faces and complete love in our hearts.

“You’ve always been mine to take care of. And today is the day I stop failing at it.”
