Only Ever You is an exciting, devastating and emotional read. 


This is a second chance romance and its pretty unique. I really enjoyed the premise and the drama in this book. Cooper and Emmy are two people that had tragedy rip them apart. This is going to sound messed up, but I love the tragic-ness of what tore them apart. There are times when you read books and what tore the main characters apart seem so trivial. This is not one of those times. While they both have bitter feelings towards each other their connection isn't something that can be denied. When its meant to be, its meant to be. 
Emmy, is a good heroine. Shes not as kick ass fierce as I'd like her to be, but shes not a whiny wimp either. 
Cooper is a super alpha male. Sometimes he comes off as jealous and overbearing, but I understand lots of women like their alphas that way so it was easy to accept. 
The chemistry between the two was believable and sweet. While the characters were not the ones I usually champion, the story worked. I was so surprised to see the type of book it shaped out to be. I went in thinking it was going to be another second chance romance like any other book, but the story was intriguing and it worked. I recommend this book. 


Olivia Night, a fictional character herself, has always been an avid reader and writer. She found the romance genre in college and has never been able to get enough. One sleepless night, the main characters of Book One in her Men of FTI series sprang from her head fully formed. They demanded she tell their story; so she did. As they revealed themselves, so did two other intriguing characters. Those characters convinced her to give them their own books because their stories were worth telling too. And so Olivia suddenly became a romance author. When Olivia is not writing, she has the best job in the world, which, too, will remain a secret. In her free time, she reads, write, drinks wine, or is, most likely, out emulating Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Olivia lives in one of the most diverse and vibrant cities in the U.S.—Baltimore. She lives with her cat, which she is convinced was a gladiator in his past life. Olivia plans to continue being awesome at this thing called life. Really, that’s her only goal.
