There are times Aiden regrets his actions, “eff.” Aiden looked at his phone. She’d hung up on him, and he’d deserved it. I want to see you had been right on the tip of his tongue. But he’d stopped himself." Aiden has no choice at times but to go with Hannah's flow, “it’s our civic duty to go check out Mrs. Hanaway’s shoes, Aiden. The children of Manitou Springs are counting on us.” He rolled his eyes playfully and followed her to the next room, knowing he’d have to be strong for her." I liked this book, I found Aiden to be very sweet.

I was anxious for Hannah's story after her "role" in her twin sister-Becca- and Jase's story. While Hannah came off in that book as medelsome I truly felt in her story she hadn't realized the damage a false truth she told as a teen had caused. Hannah seems to be looking for a connection and is out of sorts after her twin and her best friend started dating. While I liked Hannah in this story I would have liked to have had some type of interaction/healing/bonding with these twin sisters..

Aiden is big, bad and broody. Known as a quiet man, Aiden doesn't know what to think when he and Hannah begin a texting, friendly relationship. He soon realizes what he thought something was was completely not what Hannah felt. AIden is such a loveable character. He was written with such vulnerability that Hannah was perfect for him- and he was perfect for Hannah.  They complemented each other perfectly where one was outgoing and brash and the other closed off and reserved. 

I enjoyed this story and hope there are more to come in this series.

This was the first time reading from this author and I am happy to say I can't wait to read more from her! Hannah finds herself in a mid life crisis. Everyone she was once close to is breaking away and finding other people. Now enter Aiden, a quite manly guardsman. He has a past that is haunting him and not letting him purse relationships. Hannah is outgoing and talkative, and ready for the mission to win over Aiden. They face some trials together and together they find themselves and each other. The only thing I wish was that there was more Aiden and Hannah scenes together!

Nicole McLaughlin isn't someone who I am familiar with so I was a little blind going into this one, however the cover was fantastic and synopsis was great as well. This is a slow burn kinda book, took quite awhile for the two main characters to act on the feeling that seem to brew through the book! I have to say the ending was perfect tho which is why I did end up giving it 4 stars.

Nicole McLaughlin is a new to me author and I was able to jump into book four of this series with no problems. Hannah and Aiden are friends, or more really friends of friends, who are attracted to each other but are hesitant to act on their feelings.  Hannah is tired of settling in her relationships and Aiden is worried that he is too broken to ever have a successful romance.  The two spend more time together and their feeling for each other grow but overcoming their obstacles will take work on both of their parts. I liked this book. It does delve into some deeper issues than many other romances and it is always nice to see serious topics addressed.  I had a hard time connecting with Hannah but I do love a taciturn hero. I don't think I will be seeking out the other books in this series but my TBR is already out of control.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have really enjoyed Nicole McLaughlin's Man Enough series, but was hesitant going into Only with You. 

We only know a little bit about Aiden, the quiet bar owner and National Guardsman who loves to cook for his friends. Similarly, Hannah had made appearances throughout the series, but she was my least favorite character. 

Over the course of the book, though, I grew to like her a lot more. You can see her growth from who she seems to be in previous books and she seems more relatable.

I always love having dual narrators in romance books so you can see the story unfold from both perspectives. With the struggles both characters have, it was good to have here. It kept the plot moving and helped the reader empathize with where Aiden and Hannah are coming from.

I hope that there will be more books in this series, but I am looking forward to whatever Nicole McLaughlin writes next!

First of all, I just wanted to quickly say, HA! I KNEW IT! I am an anticlimactic person, which is a character flaw and nothing to do with the book. But since the beginning, I suspected the “big secret” to be what it was. This is going to be a SPOILER FREE review, as always, so don’t be scared to continue reading. 

I am no Sherlock Holmes but my imagination is a wild one that can not, in all circumstances, be tamed. So when I figured out the plot twist, I was one happy camper. Because again, anticlimactic. 

But enough about that, Only With You was such a heartwarming story! This book is part of a series, but can be read as a stand-alone. I haven’t read any of the other books, and had no problem with this one. 

Hannah, who recently got out of an engagement, is having doubts about her ability to love. Like for all 30-something woman, the society has painted this invisible line of when a person is supposedly thinking of settling down. But for that summer, Hannah vowed to do some self-reflecting and soul searching. Only this time, she found something else.

Now, Aiden, was a military guy who owns a bar. You’d think he will have women all over his badass feet, but that’s not really his thing. He’s had a crush on Hannah since they met a few years back through a mutual friend, but Aiden always had a fear of ruining what’s there to make a move on her. 

So when the story progressed and their friendship grew, I couldn’t help but root for them! Hannah with her non-stop talking and obsession with real estate sales, and Aiden, a man of few words and a giant, sensitive teddy bear. Their relationship was just something that I admired. It was non-toxic and full of hope.

But as much as I love the two main characters, I also love the flow of the story and how everything ended. Their journey through love and healing and self-acceptance was amazing.This book is not for the faint-hearted. It dealt with some very serious topics that I think, the author did a fantastic job handling.

I recommend this book for those who want romance, but with a much bigger picture!

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. 

This is the first book that I’ve read from this author and I must say the it was very intriguing. I could figure out what had happened to Aiden as a young boy but I was eager to read on and see how they handled it. This is not your typical plot found in romance books which makes it even more interesting to read.

I gotta tell you, I didn't see that coming. Aiden's secret didn't make Hannah even flinch when she finds out. Just shows how perfect they are together.

I loved this book!  Only With You is book #4 in the Man Enough series, however it reads as a standalone.  I have not read the first 3 books but it didn't matter, I couldn't even tell that it was part of a series, which is good thing!  I like being able to bounce from book to book and not worry about what order to read them in.  The rest of the books in this series are definitely going on my "to read" list though, that's for sure!  
When I started the book, I thought it would be a light and fluffy romance.  However, it didn't take too long before I realized there was something dark and heartbreaking going on in one of the characters lives.  At times when the main couple were talking about or trying to deal with the issue I actually teared up.  I liked that the author didn't shy away from tackling a sad topic that isn't often talked about...especially in romance books. 
Thank you very much to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for the advanced copy!

I really adore this author and I have loved this series. This is book 4 in the series and really should be read with book 3, because things happen with Jase, Hannah and Becca that effect this story as well. The book tries to describe what happens but I really think this book is more of a duet with that book, the other two stories easily stand alone but this one you need to read the story which introduces Hannah, Becca and Jase.

This is Hannah's story and we met her in the previous book. She is Jases best friend and when he falls in love with her sister, who Hannah is not close to at all, she loses Jase as he distants himself from her. So she is feeling very lonely and sad. Enter Aiden a badass military guy who is a fantastic cook and runs and owns his own bar. 

Jase butts in a little and so Aiden and Hannah have some miscommunication and so they stay distant until something happens and Hannah is there for Jase. Then the two take a trip to find Aiden's mom and thats finally where things start moving in the story.

The major issue is that Aiden has been hurt, abuse by a family member and it really affected everything in his life. I think its important that you know that, because its a trigger for some people and it also makes this book more serious. It really changed his life, even after the family member  died, years later, it still is keeping Aiden alone and fearful, even for a badass. Hannah has to work hard to get her man and she needs to grow up a little to be that person for Aiden.

This is something new in the serious as all the books are fun and romantic, this is the first one that had a very serious issue within the couples relationship. The author did a great job with the issue and the writing was as great as normal.
