Review: Only You by Samantha Young

Only You by Samantha Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author.  This is my honest review. 

This book is so full of emotional turmoil, I'm still getting over all of the feels I just went through.  As always, Samantha Young writes such a fantastic novel that I was instantly sucked into the story and felt every emotion that these two characters were feeling. 

It was nice to get Monroe and Brodan's background story.  We got hints of it in the other books, but to see first hand what happened was heartbreaking.  These Adair's really went through the ringer when they were younger and it affected not only themselves but everyone around them.  And Monroe was probably the most non-Adair that got hit with their insecurities.  

I commend Monroe for coming home to take care of her ill mother.  Especially after meeting her mother - if I knew I was going to walk into something like that, I don't know if I could have stomached actually doing it.  May make me sound like a terrible person, but once you meet her mom, you will understand. 

The thing that killed me in this book was Brodan's attitude toward Monroe when they both came home and he was still lashing out.  Some of the things he said and did were downright awful.  I feel like there should have been a ton more groveling - like years honestly for me - before I would have forgiven Brodan.  But I hold a grudge and make people work for my forgiveness. 

I loved seeing all of the Adair's and their spouses and families.  The second epilogue was fantastic and made me sad that this is the end of the Adair family.  But I gotta say, I cannot WAIT for the next series because those two characters?  It's going to be amazing!

Such a wonderful series that I am sure to be revisiting again in the future because I will miss them so!
