The new Green Mountain Romance from the New York Times bestselling author of And I Love Her.
Ella Abbott has long been secretly in love with Gavin Guthrie. A few recent encounters have only added to her infatuation, especially the kiss they shared at her sisterβs wedding. It doesnβt matter to Ella that Gavin is in a bad place. He says thereβs no hope for a future with him, that he has nothing to offer her. But all Ella cares about is the love she feels.
Itβs been seven long years since Gavin lost his brother. Heβd kept himself under control and moving forward until his brotherβs beloved dog died and his brotherβs widow re-married. Since then, heβs been drinking, fighting, and even getting arrested. It seems the only time his demons leave him alone is when Ella is around.
Gavin knows it wouldnβt be fair to drag Ella into his darkness, but when she inserts herself into his life, what choice does he have but to allow her to soothe his aching heart?
Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Galley Sites, NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.
In Itβs Only Love, Marie Force takes us back to the Abbott family for Ellaβs story. She has been in love with Gavin Guthrie for a long time, but he hasnβt been open to the idea. One night when he needs help changes everything for these two.
The time period for the book is very short, just a couple of weeks, but Ella and Gavin have been circling around each other for a long time, so the quick progression of their relationship doesnβt seem strange. Gavin is struggling with a few issues and it was nice to see the light flip on that βprotectingβ Ella from himself was just hurting them both. This is a well written, entertaining book, but nothing more than I would have expected from this author.
I have missed books 3 and 4 in the series somehow, but that did not detract from my ability to enjoy this story. I would suggest that someone new to the Green Mountain series not start with this book because a lot of Gavinβs back story goes hand in hand with Hannah Abbottβs story (book #2).
