A bite sized novella that you will want to savor, inhale and taste. Lauren Blakely is my go to author when it comes to love stories that has the perfect blend of heat and heart. And in her newest novella, The Only One, Lauren has me grinning big as she puts in her fun, heartfelt, and sexy twist on a second chance fated romance.
“All I know is I want him to take me again, to have me, to make love to me. I want him to strip me naked, kiss me all over, down my thighs to my knees, nipping my ankles, then back up again, settling between my legs.”Ten years ago, Penny was in love. She had a whirlwind romance with a stranger she met while vacationing in Spain. For three days, Gabriel consumed Penny’s life. He made her feel things that she never thought was possible. They both made a promise to meet up in New York City. The date, time and location were set. As Penny stood there waiting for Gabriel to arrive, she soon realized what a broken heart felt like.
Fast forward to the present, Penny is a non-profit worker for an animal shelter. She is organizing a fundraiser event and is in need of a restaurant to help cater the event. So when Penny stumbles into the restaurant to meet with the chef, it is there she sees Gabriel again but this time he doesn’t seem to remember her.
“I’m in love. And it isn’t just any kind. It’s the big kind. The crazy kind. The type of love that latches on to you and won’t let go. I bring my mouth to his ear, ready to tell him, ready to share my whole heart, but then he pushes so deep into me that I see stars. I see the light of distant planets. I see entire universes. It’s that good. It’s that intense. I unravel in the most mind-bending, breathtaking, toe-curling kind of climax. It unfurls. It spreads, and the aftershocks roll through me as he chases me there, coming and not stopping. Just like me, just like him, just like us.”As Penny stood there in front of him, Gabriel thinks that she is his Penny that he met ten years ago but isn’t quite sure if she is the same girl. As fate would have it, memories of what they shared begins to flood back. Will the stars aligned for these two? And will Gabriel and Penny get their second chance at love this time around?
A sweet, delectable and beautiful love story that reminds me of a Lifetime and Hallmark movie with the addition that it is more steamy and hot. We cannot forget that Lauren Blakely stamped her staple romance of heat and heart in this novella. So if you are looking for a quick and sexy read that will have your hearts fluttering and smiling big then The Only One is the book for you.
