Only Ever You

By: CD Reiss

Narrated by: Andi Arndt, Brian Pallino

From New York Times bestselling author CD Reiss comes a story of friendship, romance, and growing into a love that was always there.

Rachel knew exactly what turning thirty would be like. She had a plan, after all. First college, then a climb up the professional ladder. Love, marriage, children. All of it was on the schedule.

The cheap Hollywood apartment wasn’t on the list. Neither was the string of heartbreaks. Or the effect her mother’s cancer had on her career.

It’s hard to stay practical and on point when everything takes a left turn.

Enter Sebastian, the nerd across the street. The boy she defended when he couldn’t defend himself. The best friend she promised she’d marry if life didn’t go according to plan.

Not only is he successful, confident, and gorgeous, but he also still has their handwritten marriage contract.

No one goes through with childhood wedding pacts.

That’s crazy.

But their families might just be crazy enough to rent a hall and set a date. All Rachel and Sebastian have to do is fall in love.

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Meh

I really wanted to like this book as I had some of the others by the author but I didn’t. Sebastien was too much of a push over. Rachel’s self esteem was not high. I can’t stand a weak female.

At the heart of it all is love

This was perfect for my mood. The sweet, uncomplicated romance. Well, not so uncomplicated but sweet and romantic nonetheless. He’s adored her from afar in his “dweeb”like manner whiles been his champion against the bullies. Friends. Adulthood has reversed the roles and added layers of confusion. At the heart of it all is love. Love of family. Love of career. And love for the one that makes you complete, that makes you a better you.

I thoroughly enjoyed the narrators and Brian Pallino has a very nice voice.

Sweet with a Bit of Hotness

I love CD Reiss stories! This story is a bit different from some of her past work. It’s a friends to lovers and fake engagement story. There is a twist that makes this slow burn spicy in all the right ways. Andi Arndt is great as the screen writer, Rachel. It’s my first audio by Brian Pallino, and I love his deep silky voice as Sebastian.

Sweet and Touching

Loved the sweet struggle of how two long time friends find each other again, and find love where they didn't expect it!
