Only Ever You

February 28th, 2019
Another emotional, angsty, friends-to-lovers, second-chance romance from the USA Today bestselling author of When Forever Changes and Inseparable.
He’s the hot-as-sin rocker hiding a secret that would devastate his fans. She’s the only girl he’s ever loved, but keeping her safe means he had to walk away…
RYDER
My entire life is a lie, propelled by one wrong decision that altered my fate.
If fans knew the truth, they’d run away screaming. But all they see is Ryder Stone, moody guitarist and lead singer of Torment, and a potential notch on their bedpost.
Only two people know who I really am. My manager has a vested interest in keeping my secret, and the girl I was forced to leave behind doesn’t even know the true extent of my shame.
Losing Zeta is both my biggest regret and my proudest moment. But she was the glue keeping me together, and I’m struggling to survive without her. Especially when demons from my past continue to haunt me and the threat of disclosure is ever present.
When she reappears in my life, this time, I’m too weak to push her away.
Her love has the power to save me.
Mine has the power to destroy her.
ZETA
I’ve worked hard to forget my past. To rise above my messed-up childhood and make something of myself; however, there’s no forgetting him.
Ryder’s gorgeous face and drool-worthy body are plastered over tabloids and TV screens, reminding me I’m still in love with the boy who captured my heart in juvie.
When he failed me, I thought I’d never again experience such heart-crushing pain. But watching him fall out of clubs with a succession of different girls renews the agony, resurrecting countless unanswered questions.
Now my boss has sent me to interview him. It’s a massive scoop for the magazine, and turning it down would kill my career. So, I delude myself into thinking I can handle this.
Perhaps this is the closure I need to finally move on.
Except I’m terrified nothing has changed and one look into those soulful eyes will suck me in again.
Ryder almost destroyed me last time. This time, he could ruin me forever.

Another fabulous book from author Siobhan Davis!
Only Ever You is an amazing emotional story filled with lots of drama and angst. It begins with a prologue which was particularly tough to read. It is pertinent to the story, but we don’t fully understand how it relates until the end. The story is then written in two parts, and my emotions were all over the place! The first part of the book is told when Ryder and Zeta are roughly 17/18 years old and in juvenile detention.
The second part occurs about 8 years after juvie ends, and my feelings for Ryder change quite a bit. There are so many factors that are involved in Ryder and Zeta’s relationship. It’s often like a roller coaster, and I was hanging on mesmerized by it all.
Only Ever You is an unforgettable story, and it’s written so very well. It was hard to read at times, and I often got frustrated with Ryder! Zeta is such a strong character, and I just love her!
A definite add to your TBR list!!

He holds me tighter, and I close my eyes, leaning against his chest again, enjoying how cherished I feel bundled up in his arms.
“Don’t apologize for how you feel, and I always want to know what’s going through your mind even if it makes me feel like the biggest s**thead,” he says.
I slide my hand up his chest. “I knew what I was signing up for when I agreed to be together. And I can handle it, most of the time.”
“I completely understand if you don’t. The thought of there being stuff like that about you in the public domain makes me so jealous I could scream. I know I wouldn’t handle it well, and I try not to think about those guys you’ve been with.”
I peek up at him. “I’ve never made a s** tape, so you can dispel that fear.”
He kisses me softly. “Let me make it up to you?” His eyes darken, and I feel him hardening against my stomach. He kneads the corded muscles in my shoulders. “You’re tense. Let me help you relax.”
Butterflies scatter in my chest, and my core floods with heat. “What did you have in mind, Rock Star?” I murmur in my most seductive voice, looking at him through hooded eyes.
“Lose the towel, get on the bed, and let me show you.”
