“There's something about Elizabeth Lowell's writing - sometimes I love it and sometimes I don't.
In Only Love, it worked for me and I loved it. It was slightly over-the-top dramatic, and she works in a lot of ol' timey sayings that have you rolling your eyes - but still, I took the leap and went on the journey with Shannon and Rafe, loving every step. By the way, Lowell's love scenes are so steamy I had to keep wiping my reading glasses to go on, and not just because I was imagining myself in that steamy hot spring cave.
Of the 4 in this series, the only other one I really loved was the first, Only His, the story of Willow Moran and Caleb Black. I think it makes the stories more fun to read them all, in order, so you get everyone's backstory and how they are involved. But I wasn't particularly taken with either of the other 2 heroines (Only You and Only Mine) and since they don't figure strongly in this book, I'll skip them on future rereads.
Overall, this one is a keeper for me.”
