Only With You Nicole McLaughlin- Man Enough #4

Description:
The men in Nicole McLaughlin’s Man Enough series are tough Alphas devoted to serving their country and the women who love them.

National Guardsman Aiden King has been attracted to Hannah Walters for a while, but he never made a move because of her close relationship with his best friend. But when circumstances change, Aiden is surprised when his friend gives his blessing. Problem is, there’s a reason he’s still alone after all these years, and as much as he wants her, that secret keeps him from acting on his desires.

Hannah has finally decided to wait for the kind of love you read about in books and see in movies. After her failed engagement, Aiden’s unassuming support has become a touchstone for Hannah. It soon becomes apparent that he may be exactly the kind of man she’s been looking for. But the closer they become, the more he keeps her at arm’s length.

When Aiden suggests a road trip to take Hannah’s mind off her troubles, the two of them go on a journey neither one expected. She just hopes that the final destination is them together for good.

My thoughts on the book:
Aiden has a secret and he's a man so they aren't supposed to share the horrible past, they are told to suck it up and just move past. It's the moving past that Aiden is having a hard time doing and it seems he has met his match when it comes to Hannah. Hannah knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it. This year she wants to focus on being a better her. But when Aiden crashes into her life it seems things are about to change. Can they fight together for the greater purpose or will it all be just too for them?

The author held nothing back in this book everything seemed fair game. The characters were faced with some tough subjects. I loved how the author didn't necessarily make this book super deep she added a soft element to it where you found your self either laughing or crying. I enjoyed Hannah and how she continues to work on her relationship with Becca. This book does have some strong and adult language in it, but it did not consume the book.  I also enjoyed how Hannah had this struggle and this way of finding herself and being ok with or without a man but always relying on Love in the end. I have read a few books from this series and I am ready for more its such a fun group of characters to follow. I can't wait to see where the author takes them next. 

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

Should've Been You Nicole McLaughlin -A Man Enough Romance #3

Description:

Childhood neighbors get a chance at love in Should’ve Been You, an achingly romantic novella in Nicole McLaughlin’s Man Enough series!

National Guardsman Jase Beckford wants to live a quiet life raising cattle and taking care of his mother. His childhood friend and neighbor Hannah is still his best friend, but when he walks into the Walters house one morning and sees her twin sister Becca for the first time in five years, he wonders if he missed out on something special.

Becca Walters has nursed a secret crush on Jase since childhood, but he always preferred Hannah, so she buried her feelings assuming her sister and Jase would one day turn their flirtation into a real relationship. And this Christmas, she is anticipating a proposal of her own, so Jase’s reappearance in her life doesn’t mean anything. Much. Okay, maybe more than Becca would like to admit.

However, when Becca’s sister gets engaged to someone who’s not Jase, Becca and Jase find themselves spending more together. And when secrets are revealed, suddenly those dormant feelings come back to life; but is the possibility of something between them worth risking the happiness of everyone they love?

My thoughts on the book:
Jase is finally happy to be back in his home town and to hopefully have a successful ranch one day. When he comes face to face with his best friends sister the one person he's always wanted but she always thought better that anyone he wonders if this is going to work if she sticks around. Becca is home for the holidays and when she runs into her crush she wants to do anything and everything to try and avoid him but it seems he is more in her life then she planned. Can they be around each other and not let there feelings come to the surface or will what they want ruin relationships with others?

I liked how the author didn’t just make the chemistry happen it was a gradual build up and the boom like a bomb going off. This book was super sweet love story. I was a bit disappointed to see it end because I really enjoyed all the characters. I hope to find out more about Aiden and Hannah. This book does have strong language and adult scenes but it was a super fun read. I have not read any of the other books in the series and I had not problem following the story at all. I do want to go back and read the other stories if they are anything like this I am sure they will be just as amazing.
