Only for Him (Only, #1)

by Cristin Harber

[Cocktails and Books]

ONLY FOR HIM is the start of a novella serial that takes up through the start of Grayson and Emma's relationship. How their friendship turned into more and how one fairly ugly run-in with Grayson's father turned the course of their relationship.

This book absolutely, positively below me away. Yes, I'm a sucker for the heroine falling in love with her brother's best friend. But this one had a slightly different element, where that best friend has always been in love with his best friend's sister but didn't want to taint her with the messiness of his life. Grayson hasn't had an easy life and often sought solace at the Emma's family home. He was best friends with her brother, but it was the relationship Grayson had with Emma that always helped him get through the crap that waited for him at home.

There wasn't much I didn't love about Grayson, other than him making a snap decision after an embarrassing and ugly run-in with his father. That decision not only changed the course of his life, but altered Emma's as well. And as we get to the last page of ONLY FOR HIM, we see just how much that decision took from her.

ONLY FOR HER, the next installment in the series comes our March 17th, so we don't have long to wait to find out how Grayson is going to make up for his decision.
