Only When It’s Love: Holding Out For Mr. Right
Alex is tired of being single. After years of disastrous hook-ups and relationships that lead to the bedroom but nowhere else, Alex is convinced she’ll never find her Mr. Right. Then her newly married friend Stacey recommends what worked for her: a self-help book that guarantees Alex will find true love in just seven steps. Sounds simple, right?
Except Alex soon discovers that each step is more difficult than the last, and one of the rules involves dating, but not sleeping with a guy for six months. Absolutely no intimate contact whatsoever. Zero. Nada. Rien. A big challenge for Alex, who has never been one to hold back from jumping straight into the sack, hoping it will help a man fall for her.
Will any guys be willing to wait? Will Alex find her Mr. Right? And if she does, will she be strong enough to resist temptation and hold out for true love?
Join Alex on her roller-coaster romantic journey as she tries to cope with the emotional and physical ups and downs of dating whilst following a lengthy list of rigid rules.
Only When It’s Love is a fun, feel-good, romantic comedy by British author Olivia Spring, about self-acceptance, determination, love, and the challenge of finding the one.
The sequel, When’s The Wedding? will be published on 25th March 2021.
My Review
Only When It’s Love is a fun and sexy read! I thoroughly enjoyed following Alex along on this challenge. At first, I was a little unsure about the main character as I couldn’t relate to her beliefs on dating but as the story went on I really started to relate to her in many different ways. I really like the main love interest from the beginning, she was such a sweet cinnamon roll type character and I was eating it up. I would have loved it if the book was longer and covered more days of Alex’s life because some things just seemed glossed over. I am glad I read this book around Valentine’s day because it got me in a romantic mood. This was a perfect romance book filled with swoon-worthy moments as well as a hot and steamy sex scene.
My main drawback from the book is the MC’s state of mind at the beginning. She was always talking about how women should act and dress in order to catch a man. I found her thinking very old school. This was rectified as the book went on but it was a little frustrating at first. That being said, I will definitely be checking out the next book in this story as soon as it comes out.
