OllieI’ve had a lot of labels through the years: class clown, jock, the life of the party. Now, I’m a doctor, one who is filled with compassion for my patients. But what if they knew the truth? That I’m envious of their strength and survival.I guard my heart so it doesn’t get hurt, yet I’m the first one others come to for help. And I paste on a smile to mask my pain.I sleep around, I don’t let … around, I don’t let anyone in, and I tell no one of my past.
Until her.
How did a one-night stand change everything?
Bexley
I’ve been a lot of things throughout my life: homeless, my mother’s drug runner, the white trash girl no one befriended.
I hate the pity, guilt, and shame I grew up with, so I keep everyone at arm’s length to protect myself.
I learned long ago that I couldn’t count on anyone. The only one looking out for me is me.
I don’t do relationships or friendships or even people, really. Yet, that’s my job.
Until him.
Why did it have to be him?

Ollie has turned out to be a to be a hunky doctor . Ollie meets Bex by accident one night. Little do Bex & Ollie realize they will be seeing a lot more of one another. My favorite part of the book are the letters he shared that his mom wrote him.
I loved book one so I had high hopes for book 2 and I was NOT disappointed. Book two of the Always Series follows Ollie from the first book. Working in the hospital as an Oncologist, Ollie is a player and keeps everyone at a distance. That is until he meets a one night stand that he cannot forget about. A chance encounter after the one night stand, he realizes his girl with the green eyes is the daughter of one of his patients. Both he and Bex are not interested in a relationship. However we get to watch as both of them come to terms with what it means when people are drawn together. This book also features Ollie’s sisters and his best friend Travis. I love how the writer incorporates the previous story into this one in such heartfelt ways. I won’t say how because it spoils it, but just know, I laughed and cried and loved every second of it. I cannot wait to see what happens to Tatum in book 3.
Ollie and Bexley bring a chemistry that’s out of this world, but neither do relationships. But when they cant stop thinking about one another why fight it. this book is hot, steamy, a must read that you wont be able to put down. so crab your tissues because you will cry, laugh, and shake your head. this book has it all and gets better and better.
MG! This series! Again I’m blown away by this powerful story. Again I bawled my eyes out! Thanks for that Lindsay haha no but I do love a good cry and when an authors words can do that, I know it’s something special. This family is so amazing. I cannot stop with my obsessive reading, like Always I read this in less than 24 hours, I think I read this in 5 hours to be honest. It’s that good. Dear lord Ollie is phenomenal! I loved him from the beginning obviously but to read his story, him as a man and a brilliant determined doctor, can you say drool??!! He’s forever the dedicated son and brother and friend. He’s faced loss and pain but he is still such a ‘selfless’ man. His pain has in a way blinded him to the chance of love. He can’t imagine lovjng as fiercly as he did with his mother and then loosing that love once more. But in stumbles (literally) Bexley Morgan! Dude I simply love her!!! She is freaking funny and witty and honest. Her and Ollie meet and have a crazy hot one night stand, so they both think. Life and careers bring them together again, and their chemistry can not be denied. I thought they were off the charts hot together! Their attraction isn’t forced, it just is. I lovedLindsay Becs their push and pull and their dynamic. When a connection is so obviously undeniable they take the next step in a relationship, both cautious but ready. This story really hooked me in and it has so much of Josie in it and that makes it so much more beautiful. My tears came and went and came again. Its an emotional ride and an unforgettable story. Travis and Penny and Tatum and Ollie and Bex are completely in my heart! Lindsay, you really outdid yourself! Ollie and Bex have to be one of my favorite couples ever
After reading Always- the first book in this series- I really wanted to continue this series. This is Josie’s son’s, Ollie’s, story. He has now finished med school, and is the same man-whore that he was in high school. Until a one-night stand with Bexley. They decide to continue their friends-with-benefits relationship, until eventually, it turns into more.
I really liked these characters. Ollie was a fun character. I really loved how he tried so hard to keep his head up, and to take care of his family. I liked Bex, as well. She was just what Ollie needed.
I can’t wait to read the other stories in this series!
This is book 2 in the Always Series and ALWAYS THERE features the son we were introduced to in Book 1.
This writer pens well developed characters who have strong reasons for being who they are. There is enough background information that I was able to understand and empathize with the leads and their ways.
There are continuing threads weaved into ALWAYS THERE from ALWAYS and while it’s not a necessity, I think it would be a richer reading experience to read this series in order.
I am so grateful that this series has already been written so that I can read one after the other because if I had to wait for book 3… well the good news is that I don’t have to wonder. On to Book 3.
This was a good read. There were moments that tugged at my heart. But there were times I wanted to smack both Ollie and Bex.
Ollie and Bex was just as good as Josie and Travis. Ollie inherited so much of his mom that he is special type of man. Josie’s letter, each one got to me, but especially the one she wrote for Bex (happy tears).
I am invested in this family and cannot wait to read Tatum’s story.
Holy shit this book i cant even put into words what it made me feel!! Some extremely intense feels throughout the whole book. I was up and then i was down crying! I seriously love Ollie and Bex story and am sad I have finished reading it already. I’m def looking forward to the next story in the series!! This book left me literally going is the next book out yet?!!!
Huh…
What to say… what to say…
This story was truly great. Yet again Lindsay took my emotions like she didn’t even care and made me feel high and low too many times to count. How does she do that?!?! Seriously, not many authors have the power to do this to me.
We meet Ollie and Bex when they meet and have a one night stand. Or, at least what should have been a one night stand. Then we see Bex with her mom at Ollie’s office and we learn her mom has breast cancer and she doesn’t care. (Read to find out why.) THEN he takes her to his deceased mother’s birthday celebration. Just with that little bit you gotta figure this story is out there.
I’m not going to add anymore and potentially ruin anything. You need to check this book out.
You could read it on its own, but you’ll enjoy it more if you read it after the first story.
Lindsay did it again! I couldn’t stop until I got to the end! And I cannot wait for the next installment I’m hooked!
First thing first.. Always There is book 2 in the Always series so if you have not read Always please stop and read that first! There are spoilers in this book if you haven’t read book one.
Now Always There, this has got to be one of my favorite books I absolutely LOVE Ollie he is an amazing man, I love how he always puts his family first and shows how much they mean to him
Poor Bexley has had a rough life and has been dealt a shitty hand a time or two and has had to fend for herself for a lot of it, she knows how to hold her own and struggles to let anyone in. She is a total badass I love her so much.
This is one heck of a family, and I’m so glad we got to know Ollie more and I look forward to the next book in this series
Where do I even begin? I have completely fallen in love with Lindsay’s writing! Each book I read the love just evolves. After reading Always I didn’t really think of a series, but when she decided to make it one, I WAS ECSTATIC!
I adored Ollie before, but man did this book make me see him in a new light!!! He was sexy, charming and man is he caring! We really learn a lot about him as an adult in this book, and we see multiple sides of him. I might even say we see him evolve some. When we first see him as a doctor we see him as the hot guy who wants to get in all of the nurses pants. I LOVED THIS! I loved seeing him as the “one night stand guy,” because that meant we were going to see something change in him. And damn was that change entertaining!!! Bexley was the absolute perfect girl for him. Lindsay did an amazing job with creating her character. She’s saucy, hardworking and will totally keep Ollie on his toes. These two had the perfect banter, so much so I’d probably say this is basically a romcom. They constantly had me cracking up! And the nick name “Leppy,” it had me howling with laughter! I’m sure this was on purpose, but I loved that he called her Leppy when his sister was “Lucky Penny.”
Now let’s get to them feels! WE GOT ALL OF THOSE DAMN FEELS!!!! I was never feeling a consistent feeling, and I LOVE THAT. We were on a constant roller coaster of emotions and it was just done so beautifully! Although I cried A LOT, I was laughing just as much and I pretty much felt every other emotion under the sun with it. It was just so well balanced. In this roller coaster of emotions we got to learn new things too. It was almost like you’d get different surprises along the ride. The biggest surprise was the letters from Josie. Oh man, those gutted me!!!! They were such a great element though, because his mom was so special. I can’t give away anything else with them, but holy crap, have some tissues. We also got to see a super vulnerable Travis. I really wept for that man. BUT I really think that Bex coming along really is going to help him get out of his shell. Oh and we can’t forget Tatum! HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER!!! She gave us quite the run for our money at the end of that book!
I cannot express enough how amazing this book is, how absolutely amazing Lindsay is and how damn excited I am for Tatum’s story! Keep those roller coasters coming love!
This book was so so good! The author is awesome!! It was so sweet and I loved being able to dive into Ollie’s life more seeing him grow up and mature. In the first book you dont learn a whole lot about him except hes not one for relationships. I definitely loved seeing him evolve in this. Bex was my favorite though because they are the perfect match and I know neither one is one for relationships it’s just a one night stand deal going on. This book made me cry, made my heart soar, my mouth drop open! So many emotions! The end was INSANE and definitely a cliff hanger I loved it and I am beyond excited to read book 3. It only took me a few hours to read it because it was so good it was just impossible to put down.
Ollliieeee! I missed him from Always. You know this was such a good book but you know what i loved the most is that the author managed to fit and include all my favorites from Always. I always will miss Mama. But the way she was included was beautiful. Omg and LP she was a hoot as usual. But Ollie, he’s grown up so much from when we last saw him. I really loved Bex she was so great. And i hope we get more of them as the series continues!!
Where do I even begin? Ollie has the biggest heart of any book man I have ever read. Always worried about someone else and their well being.
Its exciting to see how Ollie transformed early on in this book from dog to fiancee!
And of course to read the some of the letters from Joise has me all in my feelings!
AMAZING read by Ms. Becs again. Its a book that you won’t be able to put down!
Sweet romance – Selfless – Hotness
This book. Omg. I have such a place in my heart for this story. From the first page, I couldn’t read this story fast enough. I devoured every part, every character, every letter, EVERYTHING!! I laughed. I cried. I felt the heart break from the characters. I think I cried more than I have when reading a book in a long time. I felt such joy seeing LP in this book. There were moments of sheer sorrow for the family as well. Truly, you will feel every emotion as you read this epic story! This truly is such a well written, heart wrenching story of love, hope, and restoration of a family.
This is story the story of Ollie. He is selfless and puts everyone ahead of himself. He learns what Travis felt like with his mom. It is a sweet, heartbreaking, romantic story that will give you EVERY feeling possible. I cannot recommend this book enough.
Oh Ollie!Its about dmn time he ends his womanizing ways..Who better than Bexley the sassy nurse!Lindsay you tricky lady that ending..hell of a cliffhanger..has me on the edge waiting for book 3!I absolutely loved Ollies story so much Im so so happy that his fmily including his mom are such a big part of the story..counting down the days until book 3 ..cmon Tatum!!5+ stars lady!#StacysOllie
This book…*sigh* was so fanfriggintastic!!! It follows Always, so you definitely have to read Always first. Always There takes place 2 years after Always ends, and Ollie is now a doctor…and a hot doctor at that, he’s not wanting to be serious with anyone, he’s just having fun with all the girls…then he meets Bexley!! I LOVED Ollie and Bexley, their banter was so much fun, and funny!! Lindsay is very good with the humor…she’s is also very good with making you cry, so she pretty much pulls all the emotions out. I loved seeing Travis, Penny, and Tatum. They are an awesome family!! Of course I’m going to recommend Always There, it’s a no brainer…it’s a fabulous book, but READ ALWAYS FIRST!!! Lol. I can’t wait for the next book!!
After the killer emotions from the first book in this series, I grabbed my box of Kleenex and braced myself for the ride. Half a box later and with a smile on my face I finished Always There with anticipation for the next book! There was good character development, so you didn’t feel like there were gaps in the story at all. Steamy hot and sweet, but still made you hurt just a bit! Excellent follow up from the first book, now give me Tatum!!!
