Grayson Ford and Emma Kinglsey—close since they were kids, opposites in every way. He’s the stuff high school crushes are made of, Mister Popular, and captain of every team. She’s artsy, cute, and not in his league, though fully aware of Summerland’s "I Dream of Dating Grayson Ford" support group.
I can’t say no. The girl’s had my heart since before I knew it went missing.
He hides a life of hell. His father hates him, his mother’s gone. Emma is his only savior, yet she doesn’t know her power over him. She’s the only girl he wants, the only one he could ever tell—though he won’t.
I’m stronger, bigger, more of a man than he’ll ever be, but because I ruined his life, I’ve taken his crap, his attacks, the vulgar nature of his existence.
Until she discovers Gray’s embarrassment, his humiliation. Emma fights for him, for a chance. Theirs is a Cinderella story that she believes impossible. But as the layers peel back, it’s just a guy who needs a girl in order to keep breathing.
My mind is already doodling Mrs. Grayson Ford in imaginary notebooks. He has no clue where my head is at… But, given that I didn’t see what just happened coming, maybe I have no clue where his head is at either.
Shannon’s Thoughts
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.
