The third installment of the Only series. Must be read in order.

Grayson and Emma. First love. True love. And… they have a daughter. Abandonment is his curse. He left his woman, survived his team, and missed the moment most precious to a father. Until now.

Exceprt

“I’ve done nothing for you to give me that trust, but I need you to anyway.”

I’m not pressed against his chest anymore. The warmth that encapsulated me moments ago is gone, but I feel different. Life’s shifted—I’ve been hanging on this roller coaster for years, and now it’s as if we’re cautiously slipping toward smooth sailing. The lump in my throat eases, and my eyelids lift, my gaze falling on the most handsome man I’ve ever seen.

“What do you say?” He inches closer.

“I love you, Grayson.” Deep breath. “When it comes to us, I’m all in.”

Michel’s Review

Grayson and Emma have found their way back to one another.  Their separation was the catalyst to a very hard journey for both of them.  For Grayson it was turning his back on the only thing he loved to serve in the military.  For Emma it was mission of daily survival after the only man she ever loved left her without a word.  The only thing that has made this betrayal easier is the beautiful baby he doesn’t know he has left behind.  Their daughter is the only thing that came out good and pure.

Now Grayson is back and wants to reclaim the future he and Emma should of had.  The separation has left a lot of mistrust and emotional scars.  He vows he has become a better man.  A man that will honor the woman he loves and cherish the daughter they created.

Emma and Grayson want to put their lives back together.  They want to hang onto the love they have for one another.  Although they have accepted and forgave each other, their path still will not be easy.  They will have to win over Emma’s family, put Grayson’s childhood in the past, and find a new path to travel.  First on the agenda is for Grayson to find a job in the civilian world.  Lucky that Titan has their eyes on him.  He may find a job that suits his skill set and will keep him close to home with Emma.  It may be dangerous but not as bad as his job in the military.  Emma will have to come clean to Grayson on how she has been supporting her daughter while going to college.  It could be a deal breaker for them.

Just as things look like they are going to work out, Emma’s secret will be exposed in the worst possible way.  What happens next? Cliffhanger.  The final installment in the Only series, Only Forever, will release soon.

The Only Series is addicting.  Cristin Harber has written an emotional story of first love and true love that will forever stay true.  Read this series!

Only For Him

Only Series – Book 1

Genre – New Adult

By Cristin Harber

d8082-add-to-goodreads-button3

Synopsis

Grayson Ford and Emma Kinglsey–close since they were kids, opposites in every way. He’s the stuff high school crushes are made of, Mister Popular, and captain of every team. She’s artsy, cute, and not in his league, though fully aware of Summerland’s “I Dream of Dating Grayson Ford” support group.

I can’t say no. The girl’s had my heart since before I knew it went missing.

He hides a life of hell. His father hates him, his mother’s gone. Emma is his only savior, yet she doesn’t know her power over him. She’s the only girl he wants, the only one he could ever tell–though he won’t.

I’m stronger, bigger, more of a man than he’ll ever be, but because I ruined his life, I’ve taken his crap, his attacks, the vulgar nature of his existence.

Until she discovers Gray’s embarrassment, his humiliation. Emma fights for him and for a chance. Theirs is a Cinderella story that she believes impossible. But as the layers peel back, it’s just a guy who needs a girl in order to keep breathing.

My mind is already doodling Mrs. Grayson Ford in imaginary notebooks. He has no clue where my head is at… But, given that I didn’t see what just happened coming, maybe I have no clue where his head is at either.

Only for Him. Only series, Volume One.

Michel’s Review

Only For Her is the second novella in the Only series by Cristin Harber.  The first book, Only For Him , left off with a major cliffhanger.  Gray left Emma walked away from Emma without so much as a goodbye, let alone an explanation.  Their one and only night together should of been the beginning of a love that lasts a lifetime.  What it left instead was heartbreak and a baby.  It left Emma alone to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart.  She had to give up her dreams of a life with Gray and her dreams of college life.

This book fast forwards to three years later.  Gray is in the middle of combat.  Emma is in the middle of surviving her life as a single mother to a beautiful little girl.  Neither one is in a happy place in their lives.  Gray is losing his solid memories of Emma, the one thing that always kept him going.  Emma is harboring anger and resentment towards Gray for leaving her.

When the unspeakable happens it will change both of their lives once again.  Emma believes that Gray is dead.  Gray wants to find Emma as soon as he is able to because he has finally realized he needs more than her memory to survive.

When he finally finds Emma, he finds a very different girl than he left behind.  He is also a very different man.  He is beyond damaged physically.  He suffers from the guilt of abandoning Emma, survivors guilt, PTSD, and still carries the scars of his childhood.  The one thing that he is determined to do is make things right with Emma once again.  He is determined to prove that she is the only person he can ever love.

It may be too late.  He is in for the shock of his life.  He is father.

Is he capable of being a good father? Is he capable of loving both Emma and his daughter?  Will Emma ever forgive him?  Can he forgive himself? Can he overcome all of the emotional scars in his life?

The second novella moved a bit fast for all of the issues that needed to be dealt with.  It was still very emotional and touching.  I am deeply invested in these characters and their lives.  I am looking forward to the third book, Only For Us.  I am hoping it will be a bit longer and resolve their lives.

Michel’s Review

Only For Him by Cristin Harber is the first book I have read by this author. Although this was a novella, it packed a punch. I didn’t feel like the story was rushed or the plot was abbreviated. The characters were very well developed and easy to relate to. The emotional impact this book delivered pulled on all of my heart strings. The friendship between the characters was endearing. There was never a question of the bond between them. When their friendship began to evolve in something more it was quite clear that it was not going to be easy. The love between the two is full of heartbreak, turmoil, happiness, and hopes of a forever kind of love. The obstacles and impossibilities that keep these two from developing a real relationship is valid. The girl is pushing for more and the boy is holding back.

Emma and Grayson are very close friends. It would seem like this friendship would be impossible because Grayson is the golden boy and Emma is the artsy nerd. These differences are what makes their friendship work.

Grayson is the boy girls fantasize about. On the surface he is perfection. Beneath the surface he is hiding a lot of insecurities, hurt, and horrific secrets. His home life is abusive. The only moments of serenity he gets is when he is with Emma. She is his safe place. She doesn’t know the secrets he is hiding.

Emma wants more than a friendship with Grayson. She has always loved him. She knows that she is not the type of girl that Gray is attracted to. She hides her feelings well and settles for friendship. When she discovers some of the secrets Grayson has been hiding she no longer wants to settle. She is going to fight for Gray. She is going to prove that her love is worth the it all. She is going to prove that he is worthy of love.

This book’s emotional journey escalates as the secrets begin to surface. As the secrets surface it is clear that their world may implode.

The ending was a cliffhanger that has readers anxiously awaiting for the next book.

Cristin Harber is an amazing writer. The book is well written. The emotions portrayed throughout the story touch your soul. The characters are full of life and come across as very real people. The pacing of this story blew me away.  This novella felt like a full length novel.

I highly recommend Only For Him.
