“I’m drowning in my grief. But I have to push forward.”
Newly widowed Kai Lee feels like he’s just barely staying afloat - his dedication to his newborn baby girl is all that’s keeping him going. When his brother suggests he come to stay in Harlan for a little while so that he can lean on his family, Kai jumps at the opportunity like it’s a lifeline...never expecting that he could find new happiness so soon after losing his first love.
“I’m falling in love with him - and his daughter.”
Morgan Lewis lives a life of service, from the psychiatric patients he treats through his practice to the children he looks after in the daycare center that he owns. So when Morgan meets Kai, it’s only natural that he wants to help. Yet the closer Morgan becomes with Kai and his daughter Maya, the less control Morgan has over the feelings of his own heart.
They build them big in the town of Harlan, Colorado - where the winters are beautiful and the mountain men are gorgeous. Read along as we join them in Harlan, where the pain of the past drips away as these sexy, rugged mountain men find their true loves and embrace a lifestyle of happily ever afters.

Nice
Just like I have stated before I have found these stories in this series entertaining. Kai was experiencing tremendous grief from the sudden loss of his wife. Grief is a powerful emotion one we often seem to overlook. But Morgan was patient and understanding. They were a good match!!

Major continuity issues and mediocre writing
I figured Morgan would be one of the MC for this last book in the series; having Kai as the other MC was a surprise. I would’ve been ok with that pairing if the whole book didn’t have so many other problems.
-Morgan’s background seemed slightly changed from when his character was first introduced. From being a psychiatrist at the Denver Hospital where Corey and Nate work, he now has a private practice and a whole second career as a daycare owner/entrepreneur?
- When Kai’s character was introduced in the prior book, his wife’s name is Mary & they are expecting twins. In this book, his wife’s name was now Liz and they had just the one daughter. Major continuity flaw there.
- Kai seriously gets into a romantic relationship two months after his beloved wife’s death?!? Seriously? I know grieving isn’t on a schedule, but this seems totally unrealistic.
-Some minor personality changes in secondary characters were jarring, particularly the change in Wren’s personality from reserved/serious in the previous book to now easy going, joking, etc.
-Kai’s seemingly unmentioned bisexuality seemed like a desperate development by the author so he could be used as one of the MCs for this book. With the trouble Wren was in with his family for being gay, if Kai was bi (and had been all along since college), you’d think the topic would’ve been mentioned in Wren’s book at least once.
Overall, this book seemed to be written poorly as a quick dash to finish up with this series.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the seventh book in the For You series. In this book, Kai is a new father to Maya and lost his wife during childbirth. Kai is Wren's brother from Return For You. After Kai's wife died, he really struggled with his grief and coping with a newborn. When Wren asks him to come to Harlan to stay for a while, Kai agrees. Wren tries to help Kai as much as he can and eventually gets him to join him, Corey and Morgan for dinner one night. Corey and Wren are doctors and Morgan works with psychiatric patients and also owns a successful daycare. When Morgan sees Kai, he knows he is struggling and hurt. Morgan wants to reach out to Kai and help him. Kai meets Morgan and is really attracted to him, but it is too soon to have feelings like that for anyone. Kai needs to return to work, so Corey suggests Morgan's daycare for Maya. Kai and Morgan become friends and as time moves on. Kai develops feelings for Morgan and they flirt back and forth. When Kai asks Morgan to dinner, he accepts and tells him they can take things slowly. Things go well between them until Kai's in-laws show up and make him question everything about his late wife and how he is raising their daughter. I really enjoyed this series. This was an emotional book and i really felt for both Morgan and Kai. I think Kai had to accept himself and realize he needed to find happiness again. Morgan also had a horrible loss and he needed to realize it wasn't his fault. I love how they connected and how they could help each other heal. Morgan loved Maya and thought of her as his own. Another great one.

✔ Letto! Kai Lee è il fratello maggiore di Wren, che nell'ultimo libro da bravo avvocato lo ha aiutato a cacciare il molestatore sessuale dall'ospedale. L'ho lasciato che era felicemente sposato, innamorato pazzo della sua moglie molto incita, e in ansia come tutti i neo papà.
Oggi quando mi racconta la sua storia ha la sua piccolina tra le mani, la sua moglie è morta pur di farla nascere e lui si trova perso e solo senza di lei... non riesce a reagire a niente, neanche ai suoi casi che lo aspettano. Ma solo quando la sua piccolina Maya piange chiedendo le sue attenzioni e lo fa sempre, continuamente.
Lui si ritrova così pieno dai bisogni di Maya che non ha neppure avuto il tempo per piangere la sua amata.
È disperato, solo, in luto e con una bambina neonata e anche se non vuole l'aiuto di nessuno, neanche dai suocere che vogliono portargli via la figlia. Lui accetta il braccio teso dal fratello e vai con la piccola a stare da lui e Nate, fino ad Harlan. La piccola cittadina dell'acqua infanzia. E come lo so già, a Harlan le magie succedono. Le anime solo si ritrovano.
E sarà proprio li che Kai conoscerà il Dr. Morgan Lewis, psichiatra che lavora a Denver insieme a Nate e Wren e che ha anche un asilo nido più ricercato del Colorado, il Little Smiles.
Kai si sente attratto da Morgan, e si sente in colpa verso la moglie morta per questa attrazione. Sente di non meritarsi una seconda occasione per il semplice fatto di essere vivo e lei non.
Se poi i genitori di lei sono dei bigotti fondamentalisti ai massimi livelli e farà di tutto pur di portare via da Kai la piccola Maya... allora si, Kai sarà nei guai e dovrà decidere cosa sia importante nella sua vita.
Carino, lineare con gli altri libri precedenti e corto. Un dolce thè con i biscotti in un pomeriggio di pioggia.
E adesso mi ritorno a casa, qui finisce il mio viaggio nella piccola cittadina di Harlan.
Per me è ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I will tell you one thing about J.P. Oliver every time I read one of his stories I bawl my eyes out and this story is no exception. Kai just lost his wife giving birth to their daughter he doesn’t feel angry he doesn’t even hear the doctor because he is numb. 3 weeks later he’s still a mess his daughter cries all the time and he hasn’t even cried yet not even at Liz’s funeralso he’s going to stay at his brothers in Harlan and when Kai see’s his brother they hug then and only then did Kai cry. Morgan was sitting in the cafe with his friend Corey talking about Morgan’s date last night it didn’t turn out so well when the guy kept calling him daddy, Morgan is fine with being kinky just not in a restaurant full of people Corey laughed his head off then he invited Morgan out for dinner with his friend Wren and his brother that is new in town and Morgan gladly accepted. Morgan arrived at the restaurant and he was introduced to Kai Wren’s brother but Kai wasn’t with it he just kept looking out the window, Morgan knew that look from Kai it was more than just grieving Kai was lost. Kai was in shock he was attracted to Morgan he hadn’t felt like that since his wife. That’s all I’m going to give you guys but this is just the beginning of an amazing story and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

HEA?
What a beautiful story and wonderful narration. This is my first time reading this author and listening Guillaume Dubois, I can say without a doubt I enjoyed both.
This is a story about grief and second chances and it is heartbreaking, but also sweet in it's own way. Maya, the baby girl is cute AF and I love the way J.P. Oliver show her fathers insecurities along de story. Although I think a few months is a little short to fall in love after a lost so big as his, It was believable and didn't seem rush at all. Both Kai and Morgan were likable characters, complex and hot together. The writing is a little cheesy with too many metaphors, but I think it suits the story very well. Examples:
"[...] my guilt stronger and more terrifying than ever. It swirled around me like an icy, angry ocean, dragging me down, down into its depths, so heavy and clinging I doubted I would ever be able to escape. "
The narration... Oh the narration. Mr. Dubois was perfect for the job, he did different voices for each character and his narration was solid. His voice was so suiting, I could feel the pain of each characters the way he speaks.
Recommended listen!

This is an emotional tear-jerker, but also sweet and heartwarming. After Kai lost his wife during childbirth he fell into a deep depression. He was barely caring for his daughter, Maya, and didn't care about anything else. Kai's brother Wren finally talks him into visiting for a while, hoping that a change of scenery would help. One night Wren drags Kai out for dinner, they meet up with a couple of friends, one being Morgan. Kai's attraction to Morgan catches him completely off guard, not so much because he was a man, but because his wife had only been gone for a couple of months. Morgan is a psychologist and also owns and runs a daycare center. When the subject of what Kai was going to do with Maya when he went back to work, Morgan told him about his center. Kai enrolls Maya into the center, gets back to work and constantly thinks about Morgan. They do eventually start dating, but then Maya's grandparents cause trouble. Between what Kai goes through, the grandparents and Morgan's past I cried through most of the book. It's also sweet and funny.

Kai had just become a father or a beautiful daughter, Maya, an a widower at the same time. He was completely overwhelmed and had the added pressure of his in-laws wanting to take his precious little girl away. He meets Morgan and is instantly attracted to him, but is it too soon? Would he be able to get over his grief and guilt to find happiness again?
This is romantic loves story between two men, each struggling with grief and guilt. It has expertly crafted hot steamy love scenes that are carefully woven into the storyline to enhance the love story. This is an emotional roller coaster that deals with loss, guilt, love and homophobia. It does an excellent job in building interesting characters that you can empathize with. I enjoyed it immensely even though gay romance is a genre of which I have read very little. It pushed me outside my comfort zone and I believed has helped me grow as a person. If you enjoy gay romance or just romance with heat, try this one out. You may find it inspiring, I know I did.

This was a really sweet story and had s pretty emotional start. My heart broke for kai at the beginning and I was so happy when Morgan entered his life and made evrytying more bearable. This was a single dad romance story. Kai lost his wife while she gave birth to their baby girl and was so full of grief and blame and his awful in laws didn't help. He wanted to be the best he could be for his new daughter and decides to visit his brother to get away and doesn't expect to meet someone who he feel similar things he felt when he was with his wife. I did feel things happened a bit fast since his wife just passed away a few months and I feel like most people need longer than that to grieve in order to be able to full move on to someone else. There was instant attraction there between the characters and their connection was a strong and you could really feel their feelings for one grow throughout the story. It was a a quick read and I did enjoy the story even thought I felt i felt like kans grieving process wasn't very long and that he moved on super fast. I still enjoy both charcaters and their interactions.

Pooh - " You do not spell it , you feel it."
I might sound a walking cliché , when I say, Amor Vincit Omnia . But , that is one of the reasons, I read Romance books , love conquers it all.
Strong For You , is the perfect example of ; If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they are yours; if they do not they never were.
Kai and Morgan , the main characters , went through so many ups and downs in their journey to HEA , that you could not help but feel for them . At times it was heartbreaking and frustrating, too , but the good times were sweet , loving and hard fought and earned .
J.P. Oliver have a knack for tugging your heartstrings and I am a willing participant.

When you experience a tragic loss, don't suffer alone! Kai's in-laws, June and Peter make a bad choice at a vulnerable time in all their lives that change the course of all their lives. Maya, Kai's newborn brings a sweet innocence to the story. Morgan shows that even the expert has moments of vulnerabilities. This is an amazing story. J.P. handled the fallout with grace, patience and great discipline of not going over the line. Kai and Morgan are blessed with an excellent support system with their friends and family. Story, brings you right in so you are suffering right along with Kai and Morgan. Great story. Well done! I received an ARC from Booksprout for a review.

This is a great addition to thus spectacular series. Kai is recently widowed with a newborn baby and doesn't know how to move on. Morgan is incredibly sweet but also still dealing with a lot of grief from his tragic past. These two broken men are absolutely beautiful and incredibly sweet together. I admire Morgan's strength and the patience and understanding that he has for Kai is incredible. It was heartbreaking what these two men have been through but a joy to watch them coming together and learning to move on. The narrator did a great job with the characters and with the story itself. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audiobook.

LOVE COMES IN MANY FORMS. YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO ACCEPT IT.
I loved the story plot, but after reading ‘Return for You’, there were two glaring mistakes concerning Kai’s wife. In ‘Return for You’, she is Mary and is having twins. In ‘Strong for You’, she is Liz and gave birth to one child – no mention of a second one. The story line is great and I was pleased to see that it showed people need counseling – no matter their profession. I loved the way Morgan took to Kai and Maya – made my heart melt. I was amazed at the tough love Wren gave to his brother, Kai. The general theme and plot came out amazing; regardless of the errors. Bigotry and enlightenment are shown.

When I first claimed an ARC copy of this book, I didn't realize it was part of a series or a gay romance. Although gay romance isn't my usual type of genre, I absolutely loved this second chance story. Strong For You will draw readers into a story full of heartache, grief, healing, passion, and love. For it being my first book from J.P. Oliver I absolutely enjoyed the well written story line and the wonderful characters readers are sure to fall in love with.

Reviewing audio:
This is the kind of story that I love. Both MC's overcoming grief and past issues, together.
I loved their personalities and the conflict of the story just worked perfectly.
I didn't love the fact that this book didn't mesh with what was told about the characters in the last story. It wasn't a smooth transition at all. The actual story should have been edited prior to narration as well.

So, I liked this book and thought the plot was well done and the character development was good, but as another reviewer pointed out,"the inconsistencies in this series annoyed me. For instance, why did Kai's wife Mary who was expecting twins [as said in the previous book about Kai's brother Wren] become Liz who died giving birth to one child [in this book]"? Uggh, I don't see myself rereading this series because of all the continuity errors and other inconsistencies in the series.

What an emotional story. Kai and Morgan.are absolutely beautiful together. Two fractured souls finding solace, understanding, and love in each other. This is a wonderfully written story and I highly recommend it

For You Series
I have just completed the For You series and whilst I enjoyed the stories and find I enjoy reading books in a series as you don't always leave characters you like behind, I have to say the inconsistencies in this series annoyed me. For instance why did Kai's wife Mary who was expecting twins become Liz who died giving birth to one child!
