One and Only

by Adina D. Grey

Becca

Best friends? More like a childhood crush I couldn’t shake. He was the boy who stole my heart and vanished without a trace. Prestigious universities called my name, but my heart stubbornly clung to the hope he’d return, that he’d finally choose me. But reality had other plans.

Now, my new best friend needs a fake girlfriend to keep his focus on school and away from heartache. But there’s a problem – I can’t tear my eyes away from his charming teammate. Will I be the one to let my best friend down? Or can I resist the magnetic pull of attraction?

Erik

Japan was never my plan, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for love. I left her behind to live her life, free from my heartache. A decision that haunted me every day.

When the letter from our dream university arrived, I couldn’t resist. This was my chance to find her again, to see if our love still burned bright. But fate had different plans – I found her in the arms of my captain, a sight that shattered my heart.

Can Becca and Erik rekindle their love against all odds? Or are they destined to remain as almost lovers, with a story left unfinished?

About the author

Adina D. Grey is a USA Today and International Bestselling Author. She was born and raised in Italy so it's no surprise she has a huge addiction to coffee, dogs, and books.

Her book addiction and passion for travelling led her into the creative world of words where she writes, blogs, and beta reads. Her writing covers various sub genres and tropes but she's a sucker for a HEA, this is a cliffhanger free zone.

When she's not writing or reading you can find her entertaining her toddler and husband, and enjoying family life.

Awesome story

I loved Ellie or Becca and Erik and was so happy they found each other again. I recommend anyone that loves a HEA will love it.

Purtroppo mi sento di dare questa votazione a questo libro. Essendo che il libro ha poche pagine non è che ci si può aspettare chi sa che cosa però qui davvero sono mancate tante cose. Ho letto tante storie brevi e tutte sono state almeno carine, qui io sinceramente non ci ho capito quasi niente. La storia pecca di buchi di trama, dimenticanze e cose non dette. Ci sono state parti in cui mancavano delle informazioni che erano necessarie per capire le situazioni successive. Il libro è PIENO di cliché, dove il protagonista è il quarterback della squadra di football, lei fa parte delle cheerleaders, supper popolare e amata da tutti (stranamente). Molte scene sono frasi mi hanno davvero fatto passare la voglia di leggerlo. Sinceramente, leggendolo non ho trovato niente che mi sia piaciuto, tutto uguale e noioso.
Mi dispiace parlarne così ma davvero mi aspettavo altro, almeno qualcosa di diverso e non uguale a tutte le storie già esistenti.

⭐️4.5
Molto carino ,semplice ma di grande effetto. Un libricino di 130 pagine dove amore, tristezza,felicità, colpi di scena e scene spicy non mancano mai.Molto scorrevole e commovente (ho pianto? si) ho trovato molte frasi ironiche che mi facevano ridere e io amo l'ironia in un libro. Forse alcune cose l'ho trovate un pó banali ma nient' altro da dire. Se volete una lettura corta ma che vi faccia emozionare al punto giusto questo è consigliato.
I personaggi sono dolcissimi, lei con un caratterino determinato e provocatorio e lui non è assolutamente da di meno, fanno venire la pelle d'oca. Ne succedono di tutte! Anche gli altri personaggi meritano la loro attenzione e io non vedo l'ora di scoprire di più!
Buona lettura!

This is the first book I've read by this Author, the cover drew me in. I don't know where to start. I'm not sure if English is the authors first language or not, but the editing was terrible in this book. I didn't connect to the characters, because it was so quick, there was no back story to give that connection, it was all told to us there was no show, and the characters in present time were just meh. Becca/Ellie was just a push over. EJ/Eric just walked back into the picture with no drama, nothing. It was just missing a whole load of content.
Now I've read some reviews and it has me doubting I've read the right book. Anyway, it wasn't for me. The editing aside, the lack of plot and mediocre characters just didn't hit the spot.

Such a wonderful story

I fell in love at 15 he moved away and we lost touch it took us 34 years to find each other again and our feelings were still there. We had both married and divorced I have 2 adult children and grandchildren . We had both changed a lot but stayed together after that. I know true love can find away.
