Review: Only You by Samantha Young

Only You by Samantha Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided an ARC of this book via the author, all opinions are my own.

This is the final installment of the Adair Family series, but it is not the final book set in the world of Ardnoch.  There are going to be more books in the world coming later this year.  While this is the 5th book in the series, I do feel you can read it as a standalone.  If you want to get to know the rest of the Adair family, I highly recommend reading the rest of the books in the series.  Each of the books follows a different member of the Adair family, this one is the much awaited story of Brodan and his former best friend Monroe.  We've met them both in previous books and the tension between them was very high, and now we know why.

I love a good second chance romance and this delivers.  As with all of the Adair books this does have a slight bit of suspense to it but the main story arc focuses on the breakdown and rebuilding of Brodan and Monroe's relationship.  They have been best friends since they were around 5 years old, but a big misunderstanding and miscommunication in college drove them apart.  They both felt betrayed and abandoned when they needed each other the most and didn't speak again for 18 years when they both moved home to Ardnoch.  Brodan has spent the last 18 years following in his older brother's footsteps and has become a very successful actor, but he has worked himself into a state of exhaustion and is home for an extended vacation.  Monroe is a school teacher, and she has come home to take care of her mother who has recently broken her hip.  Living in a small town they can't help but run into each other, especially when Monroe teaches Brodan's nephew and his siblings are determined to rekindle their own friendships with her.

I really loved getting to know Brodan and Monroe.  There was so much backstory to these characters.   She has not had an easy go of it, but she is determined to make the most of what she's go on her own terms.  Monroe has quite a bit of trauma in her past and has a hard time trusting people after what she has been through.  Despite the horrible things she has been through she is a wonderful teacher and person, she puts those she cares about first and I really enjoyed getting to know her.  Brodan is hurting, he feels betrayed but he doesn't have the full story he doesn't want it either.  In the beginning I really didn't like him, he doesn't treat Monroe very well and I didn't want her to forgive him at all.   He grew on me after a while and while I think she forgave him far more quickly than I would have, and watching their relationship bloom was a pleasure.  I appreciate that Young brought in real life vulnerabilities that couples face and that Brodan and Monroe actually called each other out when they were being unreasonable about it.  They had a conversation and worked through their insecurities so they could work on their relationship instead of calling it quits at the first sign of trouble.  

I loved the second epilogue showcasing each of the couples and "where they are now".  I really appreciate when authors do this in a long running series featuring multiple couples.  It is a nice feature to bring closure to the series.  I loved this series and this installment wrapped things up perfectly.

Review: Be With Me by Samantha Young

Be With Me by Samantha Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was provided an ARC via the author, all opinions are my own.

This is the fourth book in the Adair Family series, but I feel you could read it as a standalone.   I highly recommend the previous 3 books in the series, but you can read them all independently.  This is the long awaited story of the mysterious yoga and Pilates instructor Eredine at the very private Ardnoch Estates.  Ardnoch Estates is an exclusive vacation club for the celebrity crowd to come and relax and gain some privacy set in the Scottish Highlands.  The land is owned by the Adair family, with Arran being the youngest member of the family.  Arran has been travelling the world for the last few years, but he recently came home for his eldest brother's wedding and has decided to stay for a spell.  He has also caught the eye of a certain yoga instructor.  Eredine is a very private person, she's got some skeletons in her closet and doesn't let anyone get too close to her.  She is very attracted to Arran, and he is determined to slowly break down her walls and get to know the real her.  Arran also has some demons, and with Ery's help he's able to work through some of his feelings.

If you have read the previous books in the series this follows a similar prescription.  There is alot of emotion between our two main characters and an element of suspense.  As Eredine and Arran are working through their relationship and baggage from the past, there is something in the present that is threatening them and with the help of the entire Adair clan they are working to figure out who is sending them strange gifts and sinister notes.

I loved Eredine and Arran together.  Despite the fact that they wanted to push each other away, they kept fighting for each other and coming back and working it out.  Each time one of them tried to run, the other one stood their ground and fought for their relationship and open communication.  Their family and friends also called them out when needed, and they were always supportive.  This had a decent level of steam.  I'm so glad we finally got to learn about Eredine and got her entire backstory.  It is heartbreaking.  This is another smash hit addition to the series and I can't wait for Brodan's story.

Once upon a time, Monroe Sinclair was Brodan Adair's best friend, but now he's a stranger
and one of Hollywood's leading men...

It took Monroe Sinclair eighteen years to return home to Ardnoch after a fateful night that devastated her friendship with Brodan Adair. She fled her unrequited love for him, as well as her difficult family life, and tried not to look behind her. Only a daughter's guilt could lure her back to the Highlands and the assumption that Brodan Adair rarely ever sets foot in their hometown. She can handle seeing the rest of the Adairs so long as she can avoid her ex-best friend and the only man she's ever loved.

Nothing is more important to Brodan than family, and only his demons have the power to keep him from them. For years, acting was something he was lucky enough to be good at, yet it wasn't his priority—Ardnoch and his siblings were. But when a ghost from his past returned out of the blue, Brodan tried to outrun its haunting, taking him further and further from home. When exhaustion finally forces him back to the family fold, the last thing he wants is to encounter another ghost. But that's exactly what Monroe Sinclair has been to him. When a promise to his nephew obliges Brodan to work with Monroe, it forces them to face their past. The explosive connection that has always existed between them resurrects truths long buried. Yet, just when they might be on the brink of a second chance, the ghost from Brodan's past finally catches up to him and threatens not just their happiness, but their very
lives.

It was the friends-with-benefits proposition he never saw coming...

While Arran Adair might have followed the call of wanderlust in his younger years, it isn't the reason he stayed away from Ardnoch. Home now, desperate to put the sins of his past behind him, and rebuild his life in the Scottish Highlands, Arran could never have predicted Eredine Willows. The Ardnoch Estate Pilates instructor is a complicated mystery and one Arran can't help but want to solve.

Eredine has spent the last eight years hiding in Scotland and building walls between her and the people she cares about. Arran is the first Adair who doesn't treat her as if she's fragile and demands a genuine friendship. Yet, the attraction sizzling between them is undeniable. So when she realizes she trusts him, Eredine surprises them both by offering Arran one night of no-strings passion.

Arran knows one night will inevitably lead to a desire for more and he's willing to stay by Eredine's side for as long as it takes to convince her there's something real between them. However, just when Arran thinks they might build a future together, Eredine's past returns to stalk her. And Arran won't just have to battle her demons to keep them together. He'll need to battle his own.

RELEASE BLITZ: Always You by Samantha Young

 

 

Always You by Samantha Young is now live!

 

Arrochar Adair has loved her brother's ex-bodyguard and best friend, Mac Galbraith, for years. Once upon a time, she was too young for him, but now that she's a mature woman in her thirties, Arro can see no issue with their difference in age. Yet something deeper, a problem much more difficult to surmount, is keeping them apart.

Mac Galbraith remembers clearly the night Arro became everything to him, no longer just his best friend and boss's younger sister. However, having made many mistakes over the years, there is one mistake Mac is determined not to make: to believe that he is worthy of Arrochar Adair. Allowing them to grow closer during his daughter, Robyn's, return has proven his undoing. And when Arro forces the subject of their relationship, his response pushes her away. He just never meant for it to destroy them completely.

Devastated by Mac's final rejection, Arro is determined to move on without him in her life, though he seems intent on staying put. And when the Adair family face a new threat, one that may have ties to Mac's past, Arro can't seem to be rid of the man. In fact, Mac will do anything to protect her.

But with so much hurt between them, will Arro let Mac close enough to guard her from their enemy... before it's too late?

Review: Always You by Samantha Young

Always You by Samantha Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided an arc via the author, all opinions are my own.

This is the much awaited story of Mac and Arro, but if you haven't read the previous books in the series this can be read as a standalone. The author does a great job filling you in on enough of the backstory of the other characters and details that you can start with this book if you want and go back and read the previous books if you choose. I do highly recommend reading them in order to get the fully backstory on who everyone else is and their stories.

Despite the 13 year age difference, Arro has been in love with Mac since she was a teenager. It started out as an innocent crush on her eldest brother's friend, then as she got older it turned into something more. Mac has always kept his distance out of respect for Lachlan, his best friend and Arro's brother, despite the fact that he feels the same about her. Mac also has some deep insecurities that are uncovered in the book that cause him to push her away. I won't spoil any of that here. I did really enjoy his character development throughout the book.

As with the other books in the series, this book has an element of suspense to it. After a devastating rejection, Mac and Arro' relationship is in a state of disrepair. When Arro begins to receive threatening notes at home and work, Mac has to step in to protect her at any cost. Arro doesn't want him anywhere near her. He is willing to work to regain her trust as he ensures her safety. Around the same time, Mac also receives word that events from his past may be resurfacing and he may be a target.

While I enjoyed the suspense aspect, I would have preferred that there were only one suspense plotline instead of two. They were both well written, but because they weren't related, I would have only preferred one over the other. They both served their purpose in the character development department. I really appreciated the dialogue in the book with regards to their relationship and trust between the two of them. There was alot of emotion in this book for sure.

I suspect the remaining two Adair brothers will get books to finish out the series, and I hope that Eredine gets her own story if she isn't paired with Arran or Brodan. There are hints are a budding relationship with Arran, but who knows what Samantha has in store for our reclusive, mysterious yoga instructor. I'm looking forward to whatever comes next in this series. I love this series and can't wait for more!

Review: There with You by Samantha Young

There with You by Samantha Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 I was provided an ARC via the author, all opinions expressed are my own.

You are not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that this book is going to take you on. If you read book 1 in the series, our main character Regan did not leave you with a great first impression. This book basically picks up were book 1 leaves off with Regan showing up to see her big sister Robyn, unannounced in Scottland after not seeing her for over a year through some trying times. The sisters have quite alot to discuss and emotions are high as Regan has had some pretty tough things to deal with of her own while she was away. She is finally ready to face her sister and make amends for the way she dealt with Robyn's situation, so here she is in Scottland. While the sisters mend their relationship, Regan finds herself a job as a nanny to Robyn's soon to be brother in law Thane, who happens to have the most adorable children. They take instantly to Regan, and the family falls into a comfortable routine with her around. Thane and Regan quickly come to a realization that they are attracted to one another and they begin a secret affair with no strings attached. As things heat up in the bedroom, things from the past threaten to upset Thane's family and their blissful bubble.

I thought the character development was excellent in this. Regan had quite alot of emotional trauma to deal with as did Thane. She was running from several different things that happened and kept running until she came to Scottland to face Robyn. Slowly as she became settled did she feel more comfortable to talk about them and was finally able to talk about things and face the things that happened. I really liked that the author mentioned that going to therapy doesn't make you weak. Mental health is so important and sometimes you need a little help especially if you have experienced a traumatic event such as the characters in the book did. There were some really great emotional scenes in this book that had me tearing up several different times. This was the perfect mix of romance, emotion, family, friendship, and a little suspense. I loved it!

I highly recommend that you read Here With Me first, but this does stand nicely on it's own as a standalone. The author gives you plenty of backstory from the first book that you don't need to read it first to fully enjoy this book. If you want to know more about Robyn and Lachlan's relationship, that's where you'll find them, but you are given enough information here that you don't feel confused or lost if you started with this book first. I'm really excited to see which of the Adair siblings will be featured in book 3. This series is so well executed.

Here With Me by Samantha Young is now live!

 

Settled in the tranquil remoteness of the Scottish Highlands, Ardnoch Estate caters to the rich and famous. It is as unattainable and as mysterious as its owner --ex-Hollywood leading man Lachlan Adair--and it's poised on the edge of a dark scandal.

After narrowly escaping death, police officer Robyn Penhaligon leaves behind her life in Boston in search of some answers. Starting with Mac Galbraith, the Scottish father who abandoned her to pursue his career in private security. To re-connect with Mac, Robyn will finally meet a man she's long resented. Lachlan Adair. Hostility instantly brews between Robyn and Lachlan. She thinks the head of the Adair family is high-handed and self-important. And finding closure with Mac is proving more difficult than she ever imagined. Robyn would sooner leave Ardnoch, but when she discovers Mac is embroiled in a threat against the Adairs and the exclusive members of the estate, she finds she's not yet ready to give up on her father.

Determined to ensure Mac's safety, Robyn investigates the disturbing crimes at Ardnoch, forcing her and Lachlan to spend time together. Soon it becomes clear a searing attraction exists beneath their animosity, and temptation leads them down a perilous path.
While they discover they are connected by something far more addictive than passion, Lachlan cannot let go of his grip on a painful past: a past that will destroy his future ... if the insidious presence of an enemy lurking in the shadows of Ardnoch doesn't do the job first.

Review: Here With Me by Samantha Young

Here With Me by Samantha Young
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was provided an ARC from the author, all opinions expressed are my own.

This was a nice change of pace from Samantha Young. She hasn't really delved into Romantic Suspense and I really liked what she did here. This has all of the things I love about her contemporary romance books, great characters, wonderful "world building" (I really felt like I was in Scotland), wonderful dialogue, and emotional exchanges amongst all the players. In this case we also have a bit of a mystery on our hands, and our main heroine Robyn is attempting to work through who is stalking our hero. I had my suspicions as to who was behind the events, but Sam did a great job leading me down other paths until the very end. At every turn there was some reason why whoever you were suspecting at the time couldn't be the culprit, they had an alibi, the suspect had a different description, they weren't on the property at the time, etc. She did a great job misleading the reader until the very end when you find out who really was the mastermind behind the entire thing. I had several different suspects on my list throughout.

Samantha descriptions of Scotland in this book as well as her others, is such that you feel like you are there. I've always wanted to go there, but now I'm desperate to get there after reading this. I could picture Ardnoch and the surrounding areas through her words. She did an amazing job describing the setting, especially when it came to the pictures Robyn was taking and the landscapes. ANother thing that she has always done so well is the banter between characters. Robyn is a spitfire, she quit her job as Boston police officer reconnect with her estranged father. Her dad works as head of security at a luxurious and private club for the rich and famous and it is run by Lachlan Adair. Robyn and Lachlan do not hit it off at first, but their verbal exchanges go from hostile to business to playful over the course of the book. Lachlan has lots of responsibilities, and he likes to keep things under control, so when a stalker starts leaving him messages and "gifts" at his club, things start to get uncomfortable for him. Robyn arriving doesn't help matters, especially as Mac, her father, is attacked. Robyn is now determined to see that her dad is safe and the stalker is put away. This forces her to face her past emotions and current feelings about Mac and Lachlan.

I really enjoyed this. I love thrillers, and while this doesn't have the dark and ominous aspect you expect from a thriller, it does have that suspenseful undercurrent. I was always wondering what was going to happen next or when the next suspense aspect was going to happen. I also loved the character development in all of this. Robyn was such a dynamic character. She is fierce and able to fight off an assailant, but she also wasn't afraid to be vulnerable on her own terms. She may have avoided having difficult conversations until she was ready to have them, but she always knew she would have them on her terms and when she was ready. She never pushed them off and pretended they would go away. Lachlan was interesting as well, he puts up a good front, but as we get to know him there is so much more to the man behind the curtain. I also loved the side characters. There are so many of them with great stories that I can't list them all, but I hope that we get to see more of them as the series progresses. I can't wait for the next book!
