If Only You Knew

Oakwood Bay #3

by Ellie K. Wilde

In the highly anticipated final installment of the Oakwood Bay series—“packed with sizzling tension, heat, and sweet, swoon-worthy moments” (Peyton Corinne, USA TODAY bestselling author)—childhood best friends Parker and Summer agree to matchmake each other, to disastrous results, all while fighting the fact that they’ve been each other’s soulmate all along.

Summer Prescott and Parker Woods have been best friends since they were three years old. Now thirty, neither of them feels like they have a good handle on adulthood. While their friends are coupled up and thriving, they’re struggling through career crises and disastrous dates, and frequenting the same old bars and surf spots they’ve been going to for years—until, on a whim, Summer decides to hand over her love life to Parker. After all, who better to help find her soulmate than the person who knows her best?

But when the date Parker introduces her to goes from husband material to dead end in one publicly humiliating swoop, Summer is so devastated that she breaks up with both men. And she decides to embrace a fresh start away from home by entering a surf competition that’ll have her chasing waves around the world.

Parker soon realizes the troubling truth—he’s spent nearly thirty years by Summer’s side and has only just realized that he’s in love with her. Now he’s on a mission to win back not just her trust but her heart, before she slips away for good.

I had mixed opinions. I'm not the biggest friends to lovers fan, so that's the biggest reason I might not have enjoyed this as much. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it at all, because I definitely still had a fun time with it.

Summer's dad was a piece of work...and if I'm being honest, he definitely falls into asshole territory. I get having younger children, but is he seriously that busy that he cannot even properly respond to his oldest daughter? Like not even a text or a call on a weekly basis to simply catch up? That's not an unreasonable expectation, especially because Summer is always the one that has to reach out to him.

I liked how she got "closure" with that relationship to a degree, however, I kind of expected a confrontation or something. I wanted to know why her father behaved the way he did because there's no way a father would behave that way with someone he claims to love.

Personally the second book has to be my favorite of this series and I loved to see the cameos of everyone from the previous two books in this one. It makes me so happy when everyone in the books is happy.

Overall, this was a good series and I did enjoy all three books.

Thank you to Ellie K. Wilde, Atria Books and NetGalley for this arc!

pre-read: can't believe I got the arc for this. The first two books have been good, especially the second one, so I'm hoping this one is too.

i absolutely love and will always appreciate authors who give their characters depth beyond the romance. i really enjoyed summer’s storyline, especially the theme of being brave and chasing your dreams, even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone. parker’s relationship with river was also just the sweetest. the only part that didn’t quite work for me was the heavy spice, but aside from that the romance really delivered!

overall, this was such a great friends to lovers story and the epilogue tied everything together perfectly 💛

Thank you NetGalley, Atria Books and Ellie K. Wilde for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I was so excited to get the ARC of this book because I loved the other two books in this series! I've been looking forward to Parker and Summer's HEA since the first  book and Ellie K Wilde did not disappoint.

Summer is looking for the love of her life, so she enlists her best friend of 27 years to find her the man of her dreams. Parker is grappling with a looming milestone birthday, so he agrees to Summer's plan for them to find each other dates.

Summer's first date for Parker doesn't go well. Neither does the second or third. But Parker's first date for Summer goes very well and she starts a relationship with surfer dude Denny.

Her relationship with Denny ends with a scandal, which becomes front page gossip in their small community. Summer is so mad that she cuts Parker off. This is when Parker realizes he can't live without Summer and maybe his platonic feelings aren't so platonic after all. I absolutely loved the scene where his friends convince him that his feelings for Summer are more than friendly. Hilarious!

This book was a great ending to the Oakwood Bay series. It was funny, sexy, swoonworthy and had great character development and depth. I can't wait to read Ellie K. Wilde's next series... and the one after that and the one after that.

Firstly, I am very grateful to have been granted an ARC by the publisher via Netgalley; however, that will not affect my honest review.

Best friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, and she did not disappoint. This book was filled with flirty banter, sizzling chemistry, and hilarious epiphanies as well as some heartbreaking moments. I would highly recommend this book. Personally, I’m am looking forward to reading more by Ellie K. Wilde.

Gosh, 5 big delicious juicy beautiful stars to the end of an amazing series. I am devastated to say goodbye to oakwood bay but this was the perfect send off. This is likely my new favorite in the series!!

There is SO MUCH depth to these characters that I hadn’t seen at all in the first two books. They seemed like two loving, kind best friends but there was so much more underneath it brought me to tears. Parker messes up big time and sets up Summer for heartbreak. Even worse, he doesn’t know how in love he is until he’s lost her trust. Summer is a heartbroken, loveable person who just wants people to stay. She has one constant, which is Parker, and him hurting her really changes how she views herself and her future.

Their love runs so deep, it’s sweet and devastating. (Their spice and chemistry is also off the charts!!) The yearning, as always, was positively diabolical and it made me want to rip my heart out of my chest. Parker’s journey to become summer’s dream man??? I had to be sedated.

There is just so much I love about this book, I can’t wait for the audiobook to release and reread it. Thank you Atria for the ARC!

Ahhhhhh, this book was totally worth the wait, it was so sweet and also very spicy. I've been looking forward to Parker and Summer's story, and it did not disappoint. I may be biased since friends to lovers is my favorite trope, but I absolutely loved the friendship between Parker and Summer. This story was just really sweet, their friendship, their realizations, their struggles, and their road to realizing their feelings for each other. Summer's relationship with her parents really heartbreaking to read and I really wanted to give her a hug. Oh, Parker, you sweet man. Where do I even start with this MMC? Parker was sweet, attentive, unknowingly driven, adoring, and just overall so swoony. The spicy scenes were great, and this story made me so happy. :)

Only In Your Dreams - 3 stars
Only Between Us - 4 stars

This was such a slow burn 🔥 Talk about edging…. Throw in some play kink play and DAMN!! Parker is charming and I adored his friendship with Summer- he is soo supportive and present! I enjoyed the tension between these two as they figured out whats been in front of them the whole time . Each struggles in their own way between work issues, personal challenges, and self doubt but together- they find their way and their happily ever after.

Thanks to @netgalley and @simonandschusterca for my digital ARC in return for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own.

I really enjoyed this one. The longtime best friends to lovers angle was so well done, and the chemistry felt real. Both characters had so much heart, and their banter made me smile more than once. The small-town setting was cozy without feeling cheesy, and the story had a nice balance between sweet and emotional.

It didn’t hit quite the 5-star mark for me because a few parts felt a bit predictable, but honestly, I didn’t mind much. It’s the kind of book that leaves you smiling when you close it. A lovely, feel-good read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

[tinny · Rating 3 out of 5]

i really loved the chemistry between summer and parker in “only between us” and in this book, i enjoyed summer and parker’s love story unfolding for the most part but my biggest hang-up was kinda summer’s whole imminent tour departure (and by extension her fraught relationship with her dad that didnt feel truly explored) and idk it felt a bit too messily included for me to really feel the stakes and at the end it kinda just felt like a roundabout way to arrive at the conclusion that since they had grown up together, they would benefit from time apart before getting together romantically (but like not really!)

i do also kinda wish we got more insight to parker’s pre-realization thought process when he clocked that he’d always loved summer like the way it stands feels a bit like his realization that he loved summer was slightly glazed over (and i kinda hated whatever fight they had about denny anyway bc it barely made sense and I had to remind myself that sometimes childhood friends to lovers only works if they are like lowkey bad friends to each other)

i also am not huge on ongoing sports romance series so 1) the surfing comp backdrop was nice but ultimately felt like not much stakes 2.) my eyes did glaze over at some mentions of characters from other books (even though I’ve read Siena & Brooks book)…though it did have the effect of making me curious about Melody and Zac’s book

also no shade but i feel like parker and the rumor mill talked a lot of game and did not entirely deliver but like happy for these crazy kids nonetheless! this was a super easy & quick read also so no harm no foul

thank you so much to netgalley and atria books for this arc to review!

This was the PERFECT ending to this series! I’ve loved every single second of these books! Ellie’s writing is absolutely magic! I’ve loved getting to know these characters and this universe. I’m a very sad to see them go! But I’m excited for whatever else Ellie has in store for us!

This one felt so special because Parker and Summer truly were meant to be. Friends to lovers IS superior. And honestly there’s something about them being SO ADAMANT that they’re just friends…until they realize they’ve in fact been in love with each other the literal whole time??? Parker and Summer were the PERFECT pair. They were each other’s person, their safe space, everything the other person needed and I LOVED THEM SO MUCH. not only was their friendship so sweet and special, once they were finally crossing lines and flirting!!! Their banter was FANTASTIC! And the TENSION!! How flustered Summer got!! How HOT Parker was for her! We love a man who is DOWN BAD and willing to wait for his girl to figure it out!!!

I also really really love the little family that these characters have created! Seeing everyone together and happy and rooting for Summer and Parker to finally figure it out was so much fun! And the epilogue was SO GOOD! I love that we got to see everyone one last time!!

Thank you so much to Atria for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

If Only You Knew follows Parker and Summer, lifelong best friends who have never stepped beyond friendship until...

Inseparable since childhood, they now work side by side as physical therapists, which is only one way their lives have remained closely intertwined. Summer is worn down by a string of bad dates and a growing sense of self doubt, so she decides it is time to take her life back into her own hands. Parker tries to help her get back out there, only to realize he wants to be the one she chooses.

I adored this book. This series has been consistently fun, but this installment felt especially rewarding. Summer’s insecurities frustrated me at times, yet only because you want her to see herself the way everyone around her does. Parker was such a standout. His connection with River added so much heart, and I loved how committed he was to his own growth. He was thoughtful, playful, and yes, a little kinky. Their friendship carried the story in the best way. The way they supported each other, the patience they offered, the moments where their feelings finally slipped through, all of it landed perfectly. And those final speeches? They got me. I definitely teared up.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC.

Ellie couldn’t have ended Oakwood Bay series any better than this.

Parker and Summer’s story is incredible and unforgettable. It was sweet and so freaking spicy you have no idea, and I definitely had no idea when I met Parker in ‘Only in your dreams’.

I love everything about this book. Parker was so oblivious of his feelings at the beginning, but the moment he realized he did everything he could do make Summer see what she had had in front of her. But aside from this, what I loved the most was the way Parker was supportive of Summer in everything she wanted to do, even though he had no clear idea why she wanted to do some things in the first place.

He was always there, helping her, encouraging her, fighting for her even when she felt like quitting.

My heart broke for Summer. The way she felt throughout most of the book pushed her into finding ways the leave Oakwood Bay and it killed me to see her not realizing what a great support system she has had all her life.

I can’t wait for everybody to read this book when it comes out next year and I wanted to thank Atria Books marketing for inviting me to read this book and Ellie K Wilde for creating these beautiful characters that I’ve loved from book 1

Alexa play "Ruin the Friendship" by Taylor Swift.

I was fortunate enough to receive an eARC of this and so glad i did! Thank you!

I love Ellie Wilde's writing and even though i'm not a huge "friends to lovers" fan, I LOVE Parker and Summer and was excited to get to their story.

This can be read as an interconnected standalone, but I promise you you'll want to read in order.

I cannot stop thinking about them. I loved their story and the patience they had for each other. And when they finally communicate, you're just so happy for them.

This feels like the spiciest book of her Oakwood series.

If you're a fan of friends to lovers, you'll love this.

Tropes include:
[best] friends to lovers
best friend's brother
sister's best friend
since childhood
and found family (that is even that much further established)

The epilogue is so sweet and ties the trilogy in a bow. I'm sad it's over. I was consumed by this book every moment I had.

Parker is lovely. Summer has some issues that are totally relatable and hit closer to home than I expected. Loved them both as individuals and together. Growing together without growing apart.

Can I reread it already?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow, I genuinely loved Summer and Parker’s story. It was such a beautifully done friends to lovers. You could feel their love for each other oozing out of each page. I also really enjoyed the conflicts in the story and how they played out. Summers character and the things she struggled with were very relatable to me. I also loved how Parker was finally able to help her see through those insecurities and really truly accept the love being given to her by so many.

Overall I highly recommend this series, and had a blast reading about this fun friend group! Many thanks to the author and publisher for the advanced copy for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

My first ARC!!! I think this author’s love language is gift giving because the men are always buying them some extravagant things.

[Lexie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’m so excited to be back in the Oakwood Bay series. But I’m sad to report that so far this is my least favorite. Which actually shocks me because I loved the little snippets we got of Summer & Parker in “Only Between Us” so I was excited for them to get their own book. However, I think their story suffered some unnecessary drama that never felt truly resolved.

Full disclosure I do love Summer & Parker. Their friends to lovers relationship truly gives all the feels. I mean come on I wanna find me a guy that will French braid my hair and wear Hawaiian shirts just to make me laugh. But the slow burn angle for their relationship didn’t feel quite right for me. They’ve known each other for 26 years and have been circling each other that entire time. How does it take almost 60% of the book for them to finally make a move. I believe most of the relationship struggles I have stems from Summers hangups. In particular her feelings on rejection/abandonment. Which don’t get me wrong are 100% justified after how she’s been treated. However, it’s not fully resolved just briefly addressed with a so-so solution. I really wish we could’ve deep dived more into her family struggles than the drama with Denny.

Parker made this book for me. He 100% carried it. I loved watching him realize his feelings for Summer. I also loved watching him find his calling with sports physical therapy. You can’t help but cheer for this man. I also loved that we got to see reunions from our first two book characters. I loved the found family dynamic. And I especially loved that they aren’t afraid to mingle to help make our friends happy.

Overall, even though this wasn’t my favorite in the series. I still really enjoyed it and definitely recommend. Lastly thank you NetGalley and Atria books for this arc to review!

[Kelsie ✨ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to Atria for letting me read and review this book early. All thoughts are my own!!

If Only You Knew is the final book in the Oakwood Bay Series, and I’m so sad that this series is over!! I read this book in one day after reading the second book in one day, and I didn’t want it to end!!

Summer and Parker are best friends and have never been interested in each other romantically, until the time that this book takes place. I have to say that it was really funny to watch Parker at the beginning be so blind to his feelings for Summer. He truly is just a goofball.

I really loved how Summer and Parker’s friendship was the foundation for their relationship. I am a friends to lovers super fan, like to my core, and I was so pleased with how their friendship was written into a romantic relationship. They knew each other down to their bones and cared about each other so deeply.

Summer is an angel of a character, and her struggle with feeling loved and allowing herself to accept the love she deserved was so emotional!! Her friends and chosen family supported her, and watching her grow to let them did make me tear up a little bit.

The found family was FOUND FAMILYING IN THIS BOOK OH MY GOD!! That was a big part of what I loved about the first two books, and I was so happy to see how involved all of the characters were in this book!! I won’t spoil the epilogue, but just know I cried seeing where they all ended up.

Parker was so down bad and he let Summer figure it out at her own pace. I don’t want to give away too much, but there were so many good moments between them that had me going between crying and laughing at how much they love each other and tease each other. I will say that Parker getting glasses part way through this book made me giggle so much!!

I’m so sad this series is over, but I’m very excited to see what Ellie K. Wilde writes next!!

[Kerri Wells Goetzman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was everything I wanted and so much more. I've become an Ellie K. Wilde fangirl. She's quickly becoming a Berlin Wick, Jennifer Hartmann, Kandi Steiner...automatic read. It's emotional, funny, and romantic.

Gawd...I was hooked on Parker and Summer’s story. Best friends who try to play matchmaker for each other… only to realize they’ve been each other’s soulmate all along? Freaking perfection. The slow burn tension between them was delicious.

Ellie K. Wilde captures friendship and love so beautifully. Her writing always feels warm and real, like coming home to people you’ve known forever. The small town charm is great, even when Summer feels like everyone has neglected and betrayed her.

Parker completely stole my heart. He's protective, patient, and finally realizing that what he’s been looking for has been standing right beside him for years. Summer is brave, passionate, and ready to chase her dreams, even when it means taking a risk. Their chemistry and emotional connection made this story unforgettable.

This finale truly felt like a love letter to fans of the series. It wrapped everything up beautifully but still left me wanting more. Ellie K. Wilde has such a gift for creating heartfelt, swoon worthy stories that make you believe in soulmates and second chances.

Please, Ellie, don’t stop writing! I've said it before...This author is something else! Read the books. Just do it.

Thank you to Ellie K. Wilde, NetGalley, and Atria Books for an advanced reader copy. These are my honest reviews and opinions.

After finishing Only Between Us, the second book in the Oakwood Bay series, I could not wait to see what came next. So when I found out that the final book, If Only You Knew, was coming out, I was basically counting down the days. I have been on such a sports romance kick lately, so this one was right up my alley, and I am so happy to say it did not let me down.

I already liked Summer and Parker back in Only Between Us, so I was more than ready for their story. From the very first chapter, I was hooked. The chemistry between them was so good, and there were moments that made me smile, swoon, and maybe even hold my breath a little. Knowing this was the last book in the series, I definitely took my time reading it because I didn’t want to say goodbye to Oakwood Bay just yet.

Overall, I absolutely loved this book. It gave me all the feels and wrapped everything up perfectly. This is a tiny spoiler, but the epilogue? So satisfying. I am a total sucker for a good one, and this one left me grinning from ear to ear. I am seriously going to miss this series, but what a great way to end it.

After another failed tinder date where she was saved by her best friend, all Summer wants is a man to settle down with, marry and have the white picket fence life. She enlists Parker said best friend to set her up on a blind date, and she’ll set him up on one as well. Parker, who hasn’t been in a long term relationship since he was twenty-two, doesn’t know what he wants in life. He does know however, that he wants Summer to be apart of it, as he feels they are soulmates, in the best friend’s sense of the word.

Summer and Parker have been friends for 27 years, they both are physical therapists at the same job. Everyone knows they are meant for each other, well everyone but them. Parker is very into his own head from beginning and really portrays depression and feeling like you are failing at life.

After a massively failed blind date Parker realizes he’s in love with Summer and tries to make himself Summer’s dream man. Parker loves with all of his heart and it is the sweetest form of love. He’s just got to convince Summer she is in love with him too.

This book is absolutely amazing childhood friends to lovers, found family, must read.

Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for the ARC!
This installment in the series is a truly enjoyable friends-to-lovers story with a satisfying 'he falls first' vibe.
Summer Prescott and Parker Woods have been best friends since childhood. Now thirty and feeling adrift in adulthood, they lean on each other amidst career crises and bad dates. After a disastrous setup orchestrated by Parker, Summer is humiliated and decides to embrace a fresh start—choosing to enter a worldwide surf competition that could take her far from home. Parker realizes his mistake and is determined to win back her trust and her heart.
I loved the way the romance unfolded, even though I occasionally wanted to shake the characters for being oblivious! Additionally, I found Summer's emotional struggles and character growth incredibly relatable. I really felt for her journey as she navigated this tumultuous time. This felt like a perfect, full-circle moment for Summer and Parker after reading about them in the previous books. Highly recommend this sweet, surf-side romance!

[Bookish_Aly_Cat · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this final installment in the Oakwood Bay series. I loved following Parker and Summer and seeing their relationship develop from best friends to lovers. It was interesting to see how they went from choosing the perfect date for each other and how that turned into bringing them closer together in the end.

The surf competition setting was one I hadn’t encountered before, so that was something new and exciting to read about.

If you are looking for a childhood friends to lovers story that’s both sweet and spicy, this is your book.

🏄‍♂️ Found family
🏄🏻‍♀️ Forced proximity
🏄‍♂️ Small town
🏄🏻‍♀️ Competitive surfer/trainer
🏄‍♂️ Only one bed

Summer and Parker 🧡 I have been waiting to read this story since Mel and Zac’a story and it did not disappoint. This was my favourite of the three Oakwood Bay books and I am incredibly sad they are over. The story was so relatable and watching Parker and Summer realize their love for each other and fall into this new stage was so beautiful (and a little more than that too IYKYK).

Ellie writes the most beautiful stories that encompass so many different emotions, experiences, and discoveries. She is able to create a world and characters you want to be in yourself and feel as if you’ve become friends with the characters by the end of each novel.

I cannot wait to see what Ellie does next!

My heart is so full. (I think this one might be my favorite) I was rooting for these two since book one and finally getting to read their story is such a good feeling. I’m absolutely obsessed with Parker and Summer. (Finding out why he wears Hawaiian shirts🤭) Childhood/best friends to lovers- 1000% so good. Parker is a new book boyfriend for sure!

I’m so sad this series is over. I’ve loved each and every book and I truly think this was the perfect way to end the series!
