Only You
Trust. It was an intangible word that Brice Washington wasn’t willing to give understanding to, not even to those whom he’d known and loved his entire life. All the loss, the stress of his job, and the lack of trust left no room for love either. Everything changed one night, causing another loss in his life and solidifying his stance. He’d decided that the people in his life were enough, until they no longer filled the void he was missing, which was love.
I need her, but I don’t trust her.
Love. It was the word Tayla Young had heard her entire life, but it was conditional, at least from everyone else. Growing up with her two best friends and their parents provided a sense of love. It was an unconditional love that filled in the missing holes caused by her estranged mother and nonexistent father. She gravitated to it and cherished it until one night, it became conditional.
I need him, but I don’t trust him.
As Brice tries to overcome his trust issues and Tayla’s struggles to overcome her newfound ones, can love exist without trust?
Only You is book two in the Love and Trust Series. Nobody But You, must be read before enjoying the second book in this series.

What?!!!
I was not prepared for the amount of secrets popping out. I didn’t see it coming at all and omg. I was not familiar with the lion & the lynx’s game. California must’ve been crazy while Rock & Jojo were in NC

When underlying family secrets and drama spill into your everyday and you don’t know if you’re coming or going!! That is this book in a nutshell but its so good you can’t wait to see how the story plays out. I loved how intertwined Brice and Tayla come to terms of what’s really going on and how they were really blocking the others love life all along without messing up their friendship. Then to add Jordan and Steph in the mix. None of these people trusted one another fully but loved so unconditionally was a hot mess but I was here for it. The banter a love was all throughout this book and made it hard not to put it down and want a bond the four of these goofy deadly group be your world while reading the story. It was not until I was getting close to the end did it hit me that the original one two and three were just like the new one and two. T.S. Martin 💐💐💐 to you ma’am you can write a great series and keep be in the book the whole way through. I love that for me that I read them in the correct order with just finding you as a author not to long ago. Great read and love story for more than just lovers but a sibling and friendship bond that cant be broken or duplicated.

Only You (Love and Trust Series Book 2)
I'm sad that I've come to the end of this series. I love the entire crew unequivocally and unconditionally.
Ice and Lynx aka Brice and Tayla are perfect for each other. Best friends make the best couples. No one would ever know that Brice was Ice. He was cool until he wasn't. Dr. Brice was even cooler.
Their professional personas and alters were perfect. I'm so happy that Tay decided to get answers and her family back. Neither could have lived without each other.
Who will take the reigns now....Brody and Pierre or someone else.
Fantastic series!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recycled Plot but ok
The story felt like an update of what if Chanel’s parents were worse, and Ren being in love with the woman who has always been around. Aside from the predictability, the story was still entertaining. There were contradictory elements, for example Tay should be older than Steph because the story said the father was in LA, then left to go to NY and start there. And that after he had a son, he was no longer concerned with making Nina his family. The characters seemed very one dimensional, it would have been nice to see some growth or discover a deeper motivation.

Must Read
I swear this book was unputdownable. Yes, I made that word up for this book alone. From beginning to end, I wanted to know how everything was going to work out. I was happy to see the appearance and the OG's, 1, 2, and 3. They were laughing it up and keeping all type secrets.
Brice and Tayla relationship was cute, and they talked out the strain of how they felt. Their chemistry was spot on, and their "in the field" action was even better.
Go on and pick this up and enjoy all the action and family "fun."

YESSS!
This friends to lovers story with Brice “Ice” & Tayla “Lynx” was EXPLOSIVE! The cliffhanger deets become known & baby I was punching the air... I refused to believe what was being implied... NOPE! The action in this book was packed to the tea! Tayla was on a mission and my girl delivered! From coming to terms with the lack of love & acceptance from her mother to voicing her grievances to her found family & standing on business...Tayla was THAT girl! Brice & Tayla’s love- spot on... “ride for me. I ride for you”.

An amazing friends to lovers story! The unexpected twists and turns!! I loved the lab coat version of Brice just as much as the version when he was with family or as Ice. In every role, he was passionate and about his business. Absolutely loved every book!

Ice and Lynx
I love the duo lifestyle that kept them under the radar. This was a great ending to this series. I'm now waiting on the next series T.S writes, her style is funny and expressive.

good read
I absolutely love the storyline. When it continued from the first three books into these two men and the energy they all had as a family as a hoe. It’s always family over everything. You won’t be disappointed when you read these.

I really enjoyed this friends to lovers story. I also was excited to see the originals One, Two & Three come out of retirement briefly. This was well written and the spicy was well balanced.

My girl Tayla was done so wrong by those she loved. Everybody turned their back on her without a second thought and in my opinion she forgave all of them way too easily. However it was worth it to get the family back that she loved and deserved. Brice was stubborn and it shouldn't have taken what it did for him to get it together and go get his girl! I'm glad he got there though. I'm looking forward to reading more from Ms. Martin in the future!
