Only You by Rachel Lacey is an entertaining contemporary romance. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Lacey has provided us with a well-written book. The characters are fun and lovable. Amy and her young autistic son have moved into the home left to her by her grandfather. Luke is a doctor and in town for a friend’s wedding. This second-chance romance is loaded with drama, humor and spice. I enjoyed reading Only You and look forward to reading more from Rachel Lacey in the future. Only You is book 3.5 of the Love To The Rescue Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
