Only Love (One and Only)

By: Melanie Harlow

Narrated by: Rock Engle, Felicity Munroe

A gorgeous former Marine with a tortured soul.

The beautiful, compassionate therapist living next door.

A meddlesome grandma determined to get them together.

I was expecting a proposal on my birthday, and I got dumped instead.

How could I have been so clueless?

Grams knew exactly how to distract me.

The “cute boy next door” who’s been helping her with yard work clearly needs a little therapy. Who better to call than her newly single therapist granddaughter?

She even fakes dementia to get me to visit, and now that I’m here she’s doing everything in her power to throw us together.

Not that I’m complaining. Ryan is the sexiest man I’ve ever met - I mean the full package, from the chiseled jaw to the massive shoulders to the rippling abs. (And yes, his package is full, and he knows exactly how to deliver it.) He makes me want to get out of my head and follow my heart. He makes me want to take chances I never thought I’d take.

He also makes me want to take my clothes off. A lot.

But he’s moody and challenging - one minute he’s an open book, and the next he’s completely closed off. He holds me like he’ll never let go, but insists he wants to be alone.

Some wounds are so deep, only love can heal them.

How can I convince him to let me try?

Love Grams!!

I loved this book! Such a fun and heart warming story that gives you all the feels and Grams is the BEST! She makes this story!!
Narration is very good.

Not my favorite

I've read most of this authors work, and this one was very cheesy. The sex scene sounded like animals rutting on one another, that's via audible and is my first really bad experience with it. The story dragged out forever it seemed.

No one is safe from devious Grams!

OMG...I floved this book! Grams is a riot...she’s a sneaky little matchmaker...who believes that everything tastes better with booze! Grams is playing matchmaker to her eldest granddaughter, Stella, and her neighbor, retired Marine Ryan. It’s a rocky, but oh so humorous road to love. Fantastic narration team...Especially Grams’ character. Definitely a MUST re-read/listen!

"Cute Boy Next Door"

Only Love (One and Only) is a playful romantic read with hilarious shenanigans.
Told in multi-pov between Ryan, Stella, & Granny .
Ryan's hardships a former marine are unfolded in a way that we get to know him morer as time goes on and we get a better understanding of why he is the way he is. Stella is described as "plain jane", vanilla, & lacks sexiness according to herself. I loved Stella's inner monologue and her relationships with her sisters and grandmother. Grams is my absolute favourite character with her theatricality matchmaking skills. Charming, divine, hilarious, & sweet are just some of her best characteristics. Its was fun catching up with Stella's sisters. A perfect epilogue to have everything go-round and draws this series to an end.

Narrators Felicity Munroe and Rock Engle personify the character's with so much raw emotion and depth. Pace and tone was smoothly flowing through. Engle's portrayed a perfect balance between Ryan's conflicting emotions. Munroe's protray of Stella's transformation & growth as a character was exceptional. I absolutely loved granny's voice and the way Munroe portrayed her characteristics.

Ryan & Stella

What a sweet story of a damaged soul, a woman who thought she wouldn't find love, with a broken intimacy problem from rejection and a meddling Gram. Love, understanding, acceptance and apple pie helped heal their hearts. The heat, and steam that ignited between them was fan worthy. Loved the narrators on this one.
