~ Review by Kara
Second chances at true love… is there anything better? Always You was such a sweet, romantic, sexy story about taking a chance on the one who you were always meant to be with.
Stephanie had a crush on Lucas for the last three years of college. He was a fantastic friend to her, but she always wanted more.
Stephanie had a crush on Lucas for the last three years of college. He was a fantastic friend to her, but she always wanted more.
“He was a true friend in every sense, except for the fact I would spend half of our time together fantasizing how it would feel to explore his mouth with my tongue.”
Never having the courage to tell him, Stephanie and Lucas say good-bye when he leaves for a job in California.
Flash-forward some years and when Lucas Facebook friends her, she jumps at the chance to become friends again. A seemingly simple friendship quickly becomes more.
“I know I’m not supposed to think about you all day long. I know I’m not supposed to want to talk to you every minute of the day, or touch you, or kiss you. But, fuck—” Lucas closed the space between us and grabbed me by the nape of my neck, pulling me towards him. “That’s all I ever want to do, Sam.”
The connection between the two of them is intense and combustible.
“Right now, you’re mine. And nothing else matters to me except how beautiful you look every time I make you come.”
The relationship between Lucas and Bella was one of my favorite parts of this book. I was so thankful that Lucas showed Bella how a man is supposed to be. This story had the perfect blend of romance, drama, sexiness, and love. Find out if Stephanie settles for her current life or if she finally gets her happily ever after.
