Only You
by Denise Grover Swank
**Minor spoilers, maybe, kinda, so just a warning**
FYI, I didn’t read the Wedding Pact series and while there are references to it – especially with Kevin’s sister – it didn’t impact this story much. I think it can easily stand on its own.
I’m going to start by saying that the ending seems a little rushed to me, not the relationship so much as just the timing. I think the whole story covers about 3 weeks, and while it reads like a movie rom-com (funny, wacky and sweet), what works for me on the screen needs a little more time on the page for some reason here :) I want to emphasize it is definitely a very minor complaint, because if you take the timing out of it, I am highly satisfied with how things go for these two.
As I say that, I have to admit that I do kinda wish I’d read at least Megan’s story so I have a better feel for Kevin because I think that he was probably a handful in the previous book. The stories about the crazies that he attracts, and thus the very funny misunderstanding with Holly, are a hoot. And he's got such a wonderful relationship with his sister, supportive but still snarky, that I would love to see that from her side.
Once their misunderstandings get straightened out, the interactions between Kevin & Holly are sweet, spicy and humorous. The main drama then comes from his mother and the fact that Holly works for her. It’s not the best of situations for either but they eventually make it work. (There's those rom-com moments again :) )
I’m looking forward to Kevin’s friends getting their own romances because I definitely believe those two need to be shaken up!
