Only Forever by Cristin Harber

(Only, #4)

What a great ending to a great series!!! I adored Gray and Emma's story from the beginning and each new chapter kept getting better and better!! This final volume kept up the same tempo and easy but yet surprising story! Cristin continued to provide twists and turns I wasn't expecting, kept giving us lots of good stuff, and kept the drama/suspense at the perfect level! Gray and Emma hold a special place on my fav shelf and I can't wait till I get to revisit them again!

Only for Him by Cristin Harber

(Only #1)

Only an excellent story-teller and talented author could take two of my not-my-ideal-storylines and make me absolutely and completely fall in love, adore what is happening, and want more! haha! It's absolutely official - Cristin Harber can write anything and I'll read it and fall in love! Granted, some characters/books may still burrow deeper than others, but she's my new KA-like author.

From the beginning, Cristin built a world that sucked me in quickly and shook my emotions up. I love seeing the sweetness of young love and the world that was weaved around Gray and Emma was beautiful! (which really displays her talent because I pass on most all high school/college aged books) I found myself looking at how far I'd gotten in the story and getting upset because the ending was coming too quickly! I wanted more! :)

Warning: This is part one of a multi part story, which means, there is a cliff hanger ending (which is one of my not-favorite things, especially if I'm caught unaware). However....... part 2 will be released very soon after part 1 so there isn't that huge of a wait (thank goodness!) And the way Cristin wrote it -- I don't think I would have wanted part one to end any other way!!

I love the mystery, drama, sweet, and heart Cristin poured into Gray and Emma! And I am on pins and needles waiting for their conclusion! You definitely don't want to pass this story up!!

Only for Us by Cristin Harber

(Only, #3)

Love it!!! Love it!!! Love it!!!

Cristin Harber continues Emma and Gray's story in an excellent 3rd volume in her Only series. She left us on pins and needles from the cliffy in Only for Her and didn't fail to disappoint in picking up right where it left off in Only for Us.

There was the perfect amount of drama and emotions -- even though my heart twisted and broke several times throughout the book, the pain didn't last long and Emma and Gray worked well together to get back on the right track quickly. Towards the end, I had a feeling the cliffhanger was going to leave me super anxious for the 4th and final installment of their story. And BAM it hit and now my heart is left all twisted and anxious again! haha!

Gray and Emma's love story is about young lovers, but yet, they seem to have a older, wiser strength about them. They're quickly sealing a special place in my heart for them!!

Only for Her by Cristin Harber

(Only, #2)

In high school, our home-ec teacher loved The Thorn Birds. She showed it every year in one of her classes. And she had it timed perfectly that we'd get sucked into the story and whenever we'd get to a climax in the movie and just had to know what happened next, the bell would ring and we'd have to wait till the next day.

Well, Cristin Harber has brought that same feeling back to me as an adult! And she know's exactly what she's doing!! She provides so many feelings and so much detail in such a short novella that I still feel like I've been immersed in a full-length novel. And boy, can she pick the spots to leave us with a cliff hanger!!! :) But despite the cliffy, she's given me so much that I didn't feel gypped off and left hanging too bad. I'm definitely excited for next month when part 3 arrives and the month after that with the conclusion!

I loved seeing how strong but yet vulnerable Emma has become as an adult - I absolutely adore her. And Gray... well Gray just plowed his way in, made me swoon and completely swept me off my feet!! I mean, just listen to him:

"Prepare yourself, Ems. I'm coming for you and I want forgiveness."

"I'm back with one mission. You."

"It's always been you."

I think this is one of the most highlighted novellas I've got!!

Only for Her is an amazing addition to the Only series - and you don't want to miss it!!!
