A sexy new standalone romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely…
Ever notice that sometimes a guy will do something really stupid, like let the love of his life slip through his fingers?
Yeah. I'm that guy. But the instant I run into her again I’ve got one goal and one goal only—a second chance. The plan? Go big or go home.
Fine, at first glance, stripping naked at my ex-girlfriend's place of work might not seem like the brightest way to win her heart again. But trust me on this count—she always liked me best without any clothes on. And sometimes you've got to play to your strengths when you're fighting an uphill battle. As a lawyer, I know how to fight, and I'm prepared to fight hard for her. Because sometimes you need a second chance at first love.
He's the one who got away . . .
The nerve of Tyler Nichols to reappear like that at my job, showing off his rock-hard body that drove me wild far too many nights. That man with his knowing grin and mischievous eyes is nothing but a cocky jerk to saunter back into my life. Except, what if he's not . . .? I've tried like hell to forget him, but maybe I'm cursed to remember the guy I fell madly in love with eight years ago. Lord knows I’m not over him, so what's the harm in giving him a week to prove he's changed in the ways that matter?
After all, how do you resist the hot one . . .?

Excerpt
The
last restaurant with an opening is called Gabriel’s.
I
startle as I read the name and, unexpectedly, my breath catches.
That name.
I
freeze, one hand on the mascara wand, the other holding my phone. Even now,
years after my valiant attempt to erase that man from my history, his name
alone does something to me.
I’ve dated since him. I’ve had a few serious boyfriends. But there’s still
just something about that man. Maybe that’s the curse of experiencing the best
sex of your life at age twenty-one. At the time, I figured that sex with
Gabriel was so great because I didn’t know better. Now, I’ve learned that
sleeping with him was mind-blowing because…sleeping with him was mind- blowing.
Those three nights in Spain were magical, passionate, and beyond
sensual. I’ve tried to implement Gabriel amnesia, but he still lingers in the
corners of my mind. Letting go of the mascara tube, I take a breath and tell
myself a name is just a name. It’s a mere coincidence that this eatery on my
list shares the same name.
Except…my Gabriel was a cook. A struggling line cook in a small bistro
in Barcelona that summer, planning to move to Manhattan for a job here.
I
drop my forehead into my hand as a fresh wave of foolishness crashes over me.
What if he’s been here all these years? What if he came to New York and simply
didn’t want to see me? What if we’ve been sharing the same island for the last
decade? What if he was married when we were together? What if he went home to
his wife, his girlfriend, his lover?
I
forced myself to stop playing this what
if game ten years ago when he didn’t show for our rendezvous. I booted him
from my brain and refused to linger on him, and especially on all the possible
reasons why he left me alone.
Now, he’s all I can think about. I need to know if this Gabriel is my Gabriel.
When I google the restaurant, I let out an audible groan.
I
blink.
Blink again.
Try
to still my shaking fingers.
He’s here. He’s
in Manhattan. After a decade, I’m going to come face-to-face with the man who
stole my heart and my body.
My Review
About THE ONLY ONE:
From the New York Times bestselling author of THE SEXY ONE comes a romance about fate and second chances.
Let’s say there was this guy. And he gave you the most mind-blowing night of sex in your life. And you never saw him again.
Until ten years later.
Now, it turns out he’s the ONLY ONE in all of Manhattan whose restaurant is available for my charity’s event.
The trouble is, he doesn’t recognize me.
***
This
woman I’m working with is so damn alluring. The first time I set eyes
on her, I’m captivated and I can’t get her out of my mind. Even if it’s
risky to tango with someone I’m working with, she’s a risk I’m willing
to take.
The trouble is, she won’t give me the time of day.
But I’m determined to change that.

Well I am
sure it’s no surprise I loved this. I don’t think there has been a single book
of Lauren Blakely’s that I have read that I haven’t loved. So when this one was
announced I was so excited to dive in. My only complaint is that it isn’t a
million pages longer so I can stay in this world forever.
Normally I
can go either way on second chance romance, but this one was just beautiful.
There was the expected heartbreak but what wasn’t expected was the complete
lack of emotional drama around it. Don’t get me wrong I felt the heartbreak and
I lived the emotion as Lauren Blakely always makes me. I just expected a lot
more fallout from the initial break up but I was delighted with the way it all
played out.
Gabriel was
the perfect mix of sexy alpha male and sweet. I couldn’t get enough of him,
even though I spent the first part of the book hoping he had been neutered in
the ten years they were separated. Penny was so sweet but had so much depth and
character I fell in love with her from the very beginning.
And as
always there was a lot of smoking hot sex scenes that had me squirming in my
seat. And I have to say that for such a short little novella it didn’t miss a
single thing. I can’t wait to continue on with these amazing characters.
