Wow intense fillings shared. Hidden given then list until the true love opened it all. First time I cried over a love story this Twitter brings in real life issues

What an adorable book! Although I will say that if it wasn't for Louie I probably would have given this a 3 star rating, but that kid made this book. Usually while I am reading books with kids in it all I can think is "where is the kid?" or "the kid is going to walk in on you" and while I still thought that while reading this book I feel like the single mom plot of this book was done really well. This is my 3rd book in this world and definitely my favorite. Since the previous two books that I have read by this author felt very similar I was worried that I would get that feeling with this book, but I did not. It has a lot of the same things that I have now come to expect from a Melissa Foster book (it is a pretty quick, and steamy read. Full of family, lots of friends and mid to low angst), but as far as storyline this one felt different. We get a glimpse of Bodhi in the previous book, and obviously we see a Bridgette quite a bit in the first book. To be honest I was surprised that Bridgette's book was book two; I was so sure it would be Talia or Piper (and I am a little disappointed that Piper's book doesn't appear in this series but in the next one). This book had my attention from the beginning and kept it throughout the whole book. The chemistry and tension between these two characters is through the roof. I absolutely love both MC's. Bodhi was such a cinnamon roll hero, and Bridgette felt like a real person to me. We see her raising her son alone, running a business and fall in love and it didn't feel like unrealistic or over the top at all. I loved not only seeing these two fall for each other, but also the love that Bodhi had for Louie. This book really checked all of my romance book boxes it was sweet (I mean I would take a Bodhi) ,swoony, and steamy. I'm not usually a fan of instalove, but this one did good things for my soul. I feel like this book was very low angst, there was obviously a conflict, but what I really liked was that it wasn't like this whole misunderstanding or non communication situation. What made this book a 4 star not a 5 for me was Bodhi's issue with not wanting to be in a relationship; I get his hang ups but by the end of the book I was over it. All I could think was "y'all are in love, figure it out like adults", and I also felt like the end was a little rushed. I also didn't love that this book ended in an engagement. I feel like this book showed navigating the feelings of a child who's mom is dating very well, but then for it to end an engagement after just a few moths didn't sit well. I would have much more preferred to see a happy for now especially because there is another book in the series.

Wow! The hotness factor keeps getting better! Who doesn’t love heroes and heroines and families that truly love and care and are nonjudgmental with each other! Melissa never disappoints!

So good! The spice is top notch. The story line is the best I’ve read so far this year! And ugh the heartbreak you feel for Bridgette & bodhi just makes you call like a baby!

Bridgette and Bodie have both got reasons not to get too involved but can they really walk away?.This is beautiful story of one's loss and the others lifestyle crashing together to form a beautiful tsunami of love and emotions. Wonderful family and friends surround this series, I cannot put them down.Just downloaded book 3.

I had been waiting to read 'Only for You' the moment I was first introduced to Bridgette Dalton, and Melissa Foster did not disappoint.I automatically took to Bridgette in the Sugar Lake series as she is a woman who had once thrown caution to the wind to live out her 'happily ever after' with a musician, only to find herself return home widowed and a single Mum to her adorable little boy Louis.After years of focusing all her love, energy and grief into raising her son and creating a livelihood for herself, it is time for Bridgette to dip her toe into the pool of romance. She is instantly intrigued by Bhodi Booker, something about him captivating her thoughts and awakening her senses.Bhodi Booker is in a Special Ops team, landing in Sweetwater to renovate a property for his mother to move into whilst waiting to return to duty. It was all supposed to be straightforward until Bridgette Dalton turns out to be his neighbor.Bhodi is determined not to allow himself to fall for Bridgette beyond a few weeks of the summer, laying out the rules whilst being her knight in shining armor. Both of them skirt around each other with undeniable chemistry, both of them unsure and afraid to confess the feelings that they are developing naturally for one another.Bhodi is good with her son, respectful and willing to be there the good bits and the bad, he is protective loyal and above all honest. Bridgette is sweet, but she has a side that is crying out to be released and Bhodi is the man to unlock her.The book was entertaining, sweet and I was completely captivated by their relationship. I love how Bhodi is respectful of Bridgette's previous relationship and is easily enamored by her son. He appears to be very alpha male but on the side, he is a romance-loving softie which worked nicely against Bridgette's determined side.I adored learning more about the characters of Sweetwater and the small festivals that they partake in and I love immersing myself in their world. Everything is well written and captivating and I can't wait to read more books in the Sugar Lake series.I recommend to all romance lovers or someone who is looking to get stuck into a well-written series of books.

Good story

Really enjoyable read and follow up to the first book. Bridgette I loved in the first book and she really bloomed, forgive the pun, in her own book. Bodhi was a dream of a character with some real issues, however when he admitted the connection he was all in without realising it. Loui added his childlike humour and the book written and totally engaging.

Loved this series it is the second time I have read them, but credit to Melissa as this one is definitely a year jerker.
