Review: Only for You (Sugar Lake #2) by Melissa Foster



Love only works when your heart is in the right place. 
Hers could be right next door…


ONLY FOR YOU
Sugar Lake #2
Melissa Foster
Releasing Dec 5, 2017
Montlake


Single mom Bridgette Dalton doesn’t have time to stop and smell the roses—not even in her own flower shop. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t noticed Bodhi Booker. Her ruggedly handsome next-door neighbor would be the perfect candidate for a no-strings fling. Having loved and lost, Bridgette’s not ready to hand over her heart…but she could use a distraction.

Bodhi has one rule: never leave anyone behind. As a special operative, he knows that each new mission is more dangerous than the last. He’s never made a promise of forever to a woman, not even to the beautiful widow who has him tied in knots. And if there were anyone who could tempt him into putting down roots, it would be Bridgette and her adorable son.

But as his next deployment nears, they make a startling discovery. Their passion, meant only for the here and now, might already be blossoming into something more…

**ONLY FOR YOU is published by Montlake (an Amazon imprint) and won’t be available on other ebook retailers, but you can download a FREE ereader app to read it HERE, or order the paperback.

Review:

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I swear every time I read a bok by Melissa Foster, the word sweet pops into my time like  289477420137 times and it almost makes my teeth hurt. She has a way of writing great romances without making them heavy or frustrating and I end up loving 95% of them. Just as I loved this book. Bodhi was great to Bridgette's son. He loved the kid and he is going to be an amazing dad to him. He was caring and he never thought of him as someone else's son. The author managed to mix all the elements of the book and produce a very good result. We got to see Bridgette being a mom, the owner of a flower shop and a woman and none of those aspects felt like they needed to develop more. Bodhi has his own family and friends who appear in this book. His profession the cause of worry for him and Bridgette, but in the end, everything works out. From the moment Bodhi's love for flowers was mentioned I wanted to see him working alongside Bridgette in her flower shop. For me, that would have been a great way to end the book, but I am satisfied with what I got. As usual, I would recommend the book because the small town setting is lovely and the main characters are great people.




Excerpt:

She wrapped her hand around his long fingers, and his eyes heated, never wavering from hers. She’d never met a man so intense. Her nerves were on fire as she led him toward the table where some of her family members were talking. Awareness of the significance of her decision, of the signals she was sending, slammed into her, and she slowed to catch her breath. Was she ready for this?

He put a finger beneath her chin and lifted, as he’d done at his front door, gazing thoughtfully down at her. “Would you rather I leave?”

She shook her head. “No. I’m just . . . I’m good.” And she was. She’d needed that pause to acknowledge and accept what she was feeling. She was nervous, but she wanted this. She wanted him. Her smile came genuinely, and earned her one in return. “Come on.”

She became more nervous as they approached the table. Willow was practically sitting in Zane’s lap as they mooned over each other. Piper and Talia were scoping out some guy across the room, and Ben was in a heated discussion with Aurelia. She shouldn’t be nervous. This was her normal.

Except normal didn’t usually include holding hands with a man she wanted to strip naked and devour.

“Well, well, well. If it isn’t the naked neighbor.” Mischief danced in Piper’s eyes as she pushed to her feet and strutted around the table in her skinny jeans and slinky little blouse. She set her hands on her hips, running an assessing eye over Bodhi.

His jaw clenched.

“Bodhi, this is my sister Piper. She works in construction and is around guys all day, which means she has absolutely no filter. Please take her with a grain of salt.”

He flashed a cocky grin. “For the record, I had a towel on.”


“For the record,” Piper said, “she wished you didn’t.”
