Only You

Tatum was the sweetest. I don't think he couldn't have been sweeter to Remy. And Remy was a doll too. The two of them together, and reconciling their difficult childhoods and past friendship, was a great backdrop for their romance. The role the kids played, particularly Cason and Reagan made this story for me - especially since Remy is their principal. All of the found family vibes here for absolutely everyone. So, so, good! I wouldn't have minded reading even more! I do hope Cason gets a story too! I'm kinda attached to him, haha.

I was excited for Tatum and Remy’s story ever since they came face to face again after a decade in “Only Temporary”. Like always, the banter between the family is great. Remy’s story was heartbreaking but Tatum was so understanding and amazing in how he was devoted to Remy in any way he needed. A good mix of emotion and spice.

Only Temporary should be read first. This was a quick, easy read. I’m not sure it was what I was expecting for Tatum’s story but I still really enjoyed it. I think, maybe – I was expecting a deeper dive given Tatum and Remy’s background. I enjoyed getting to see more of the characters from Only Temporary, since they play such a large role in Tatum’s found family. Curious to see where Nicole takes us with Cason and Liam in the future.

We’re introduced to Tallum in book one and it’s great that he got his own book. He’s a character who has overcome a lot but also knows that he’s not cured. When he comes back into contact with Remy from his past some old wounds open up again. None of those wounds are as bad as Remy’s thought. His growth over the book is awesome and the two of them really are perfect for each other.

Thank you so much GRR for the arc! This was such a quick, swoony and sweet read! It follows Tatum, Kellan's friend from the previous book who helped save up for a house for the foster kids. Tatum has also had a difficult past, as a foster kid and former addict, but he has a great support system and formed a family who he can always count on. The kids are always a handful, even on good days, and one day as Tatum goes to talk to the principal, he runs into his old friend, Remi. The two grew up together in the foster system, Tatum protected Remi because he was always on the bigger side, and felt that he was vulnerable. Unfortunately, something happened in the past that pushed the two apart and had them not see each other for 10 years. How do they run into each other again? Tatum has to pick up one of the kids from the principal's office, and the principal is none other than Remi. Remi hasn't recovered from his trauma and is determined he doesn't deserve love, but Tatum is determined to prove him wrong. These two were so sweet together, they had great communication and always tried to stay on the same page. Sure, there was less drama in this one, but honestly it just added to the swoon factor of them as a couple. I loved the cameos from the kids, Kellan and Phillip!!
