Book 2 in the emotional, steamy romance series, Only Her…Sarah… tendency to forget. Why does Liam Reynolds seem to have this hold on me?
Liam…
My heart is an open book for a reason. There’s this woman. She is all kinds of wonderful, and I can see my future with her in it as my wife and the mother of my children. My heart knows she is perfect for me, but somehow when I’m around her, my head seems to forget she is a no commitment kind of girl. I’m convinced, though, that I’ll eventually wear her down. Why is Sarah Witten so dead set on pushing me away when all I want to do is hold on to her?
Each book in the Only Her Series can be read as a stand-alone.

Phenomenal story written so well that the end came to fast! Liam and Sarah’s story is so filled with humor, heart, tragic past and a deep sense of courage! It had some hot loving i there but that came as a natural part not a chemistry that burns quick and makes you wonder what part of their story is going to be be real enough to last! I love how Liam and Sarah were friends that with persistence and devotion became more. Sarah’s story is tragic and so heartbreaking and yet she came through it and Liam is able to help her do it. It’s not an easy thing to overcome but he has the patience and caring nature that is necessary to show her he isn’t going anywhere! I love these characters and their story so much! I felt all the feels and highs and lows and rooted and boo’d throughout! Beautiful and well done, Olivia Stephen!
A wonderful story in which Liam is patient and persistent. Sarah has a lot of emotional baggage. Guilt and trust issues can be difficult to overcome. Liam was ready to love her through it.
I loved this book and just like with book one I couldn’t put it down.
This book is a friends to lovers. Though Liam was ready for more from the beginning, it took Sarah awhile to deal with her feelings and issues. Once Sarah worked her issues and insecurities out, there was no stopping her love for Liam.
I loved seeing Zane and Raina as they move on in their relationship and whats happening with them. I highly recommend this series its a must read. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
Really enjoyed reading this story. This story was an emotional rollercoaster. Liam is such a sweet man and helped Sarah even when she didn’t want it. I highly recommend this book. Can’t wait to read the next one.
This is the second book in the Only Her Series and it’s Sarah and Liam’s story. Sarah of course was the feisty, stubborn, heard-headed friend of Raina.
As much as she was happy for her friend, she never wanted to fall in love in again. Liam, the oh so handsome rockstar, who friended Sarah just knocked down all her walls and made her believe in love again. I enjoyed the interaction between these two characters so much. Really enjoyed every moment and I can’t wait for more!
Trust. An important ingredient for love. Sarah had that once and it was trampled by the two people she trusted most. No more. Never again. Liam could be a friend. Even a little more but not a lot more. She just didn’t do more.
Liam had been patient. He saw her. Liked her. Wanted her. Now it was time to get her. No more friend zone. Oh, he’d be patient when it counted. He just wasn’t sitting back and letting her lead the relationship–and yeah, it was a relationship.
I enjoyed watching the bar-owner-singer and the elementary school teacher find their way to love. There are struggles, however, each person was strong in their own way. She was a loving teacher and a great friend. She has a smart mouth when she wasn’t hiding behind her past. He was sweet, yet the alpha was strong in Liam. Persistence and understanding were vital. The question was patience. How long could he maintain that patience?
I loved this story and the characters and the steam. I am going to find more by this new author. She’s going on my favorites list.

WATCH OVER HER WASN’T BEGINNER’S LUCK…HOLD ONTO HER IS EVEN BETTER…
As much as I enjoyed Olivia Stephen’s debut novel, WATCH OVER HER, I have to admit, I loved HOLD ONTO HER even more….we were introduced to Sarah Witten, Raina’s best friend and fellow elementary schoolteacher whose past has understandably closed her heart to love and Liam Reynolds, hot musician and half of the singing duo, Liam & Cole, at Sam’s Pub….
Sarah wants no part of a relationship with her friend of several months or anyone else, for that matter, but Liam, who comes from a warm and loving family and wants that for himself doesn’t want it with anyone but Sarah… The strong, I-can-take-care-of-myself Sarah, realizes she likes having a real man, like Liam, taking control and taking care of her….I loved Liam and Sarah…and, now, I’m ready to read Cole’s story….
Hold on tight and fasten your seat belt for this emotional rollercoaster ride. I felt all the feels during the journey. I’ve never wanted a book boyfriend to be real like I want Liam to be!
When is book 3 gonna hit the shelves – I can’t wait
This book was a wonderful read! I fell in love with Liam and how soft his heart was. Sarah is a relatable heroine and their chemistry is off the charts!
I love Liam and Sarah, the two of them make you feel. Liam does whatever he can in order to rebuild Sarah after her past. Sarah had such a heartbreaking past, that she’s even willing to consider trying again is amazing. The two have ups and downs, but their story is so heartfelt and emotional. Olivia just brings the emotions to the forefront.
Liam is such a breathe of fresh air. He’s a man who knows what he wants and is going to make sure he gets it. Liam is the forever kind of guy you picture sharing your life with, building a family and purchasing his & her rocking chairs.
Sarah has been burned in the past and is not willing to put her heart on the line again. My heart hurt for her after the ultimate betrayal she suffered. I loved how this story unfolded, the journey she went on to learn to trust again.
What an amazing writer Olivia Stephen is!! Her second book is even better than the first!! I love Liam and Sarah!! I read this book in one sitting, couldn’t get enough!! Liam is so sweet and patient with a nice bit of Alpha thrown in. Yum!! He’s definitely a new member of the harem!!
Liam is the ultimate songwriter/singer book boyfriend, sweet, loving, a gentle alpha wrapped in a gorgeous cover. Sarah is a beautiful elementary school teacher with ten foot walls built up around her heart. After building a friendship, the two become more. To get the most from Sarah, Liam has to show her how worthy she is of a life together regardless of her past, her ex, and her regrets. Their love story takes several emotional detours before the HEA. Along the way we get more Zane and Raina, more Cole, more of this wonderful world. Olivia Stephen wrote a stunning story worth every laugh, tear, gasp and smile.
What a beautiful story. Ms. Stephen’s once again did a great job with Liam and Sarah. Sarah oh man you can not help but cry right along with her when you hear about her past that she never was able to let go. Then theres Liam oh what a dream he is to be willing to take all of Sarah’s worries and pain and allow Sarah to lean on him while he holds on to her. Again fantastic job Ms. Stephen’s and I can’t wait to see what Cole story is.
If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would. I thought her 1st book was phenomenal. This author, Olivia Stephen, out did herself with book 2. I have a newfound love for Liam. Everyone girl needs to have a Liam in their life. This book is a friends to lovers. Though Liam was ready for more from the beginning, it took Sarah awhile to deal with her feelings and issues. Once Sarah worked her issues and insecurities out, there was no stopping her love for Liam. Not very often to you find a hero that is patience and willing to wait for the girl. I think of Liam as a strong silent type male, a giver, lover and fighter. Sarah carried her insecurities and mistrust for far to long. Liam helps her break through those barriers.
I highly recommend picking up this book. I dare you not to fall in love with Liam!
Wow! This story broke my heart many, many times and then carefully put it back together as these two fell in love!
Liam and Sarah have been friends for months, with a shimmering attraction they can no longer ignore. Liam is all in. He wants it all and he wants it with Sarah. Sarah wants no part of a relationship. She has been badly hurt, in so many levels, in the past.
I really liked both of these characters! Sarah has so many insecurities but I totally related to her. Liam could sometimes be over the top with his macho “this-is-how-its-going-to-be!” but Sarah needed to be shown that she was valued and cared for and this somehow worked in the story.
This was a great addition to the series!!
This is a beautiful story, about Sarah and Liam. She feels she is damaged due to the things that happened when she was young and naive. He sees her as the most beautiful woman in the world and loves her deeply, possibly so due to those circumstances which made her who she is today. She is closed off and has a difficult time letting him in, once she does, things happen and she backs off again. However, in the end he convinces her they are good together and belong with each other. He is kind, loving, compassionate, hot and absolutely alpha. Their chemistry is awesome. I definitely enjoyed this book, even ended up with a crush on Liam! This is a must-read book!
One of my top 5 books this year! Simply phenomenal!! This book made me laugh, cry, smile, cuss, mad, and laugh again….a rollercoaster of emotions. I knew from 10% in that this book was going to be a 5 star and it certainly did not disappoint. Liam was EVERYTHING you could want in a book boyfriend- good looking, caring, protector, good heart, alpha male but not over the top, singer/songwriter, and the words he spoke…..oh, my heart! I loved Sarah and I loved the friendship between her and Raina. Such great characters in the book! Olivia is a gifted writer and I am so grateful she has shared that gift with us.
Wow! Phenomenally outstanding! This is Sarah and Liam’s story and it will keep your emotions running high, you may laugh, get angry and most certainly cry, but it will not disappoint you, of that I am certain. The one thing I can say about Liam is he knows what he wants and goes after it, such an alpha..be still my heart! I loved their journey and watching Sarah and Liam fall in love. By far one of my favorite reads this year, I highly recommend you read for yourself.
Holy hotness! Olivia has written a fantabulous story here!! Liam & Sarah are made for each other.
Sarah has closed her heart off for good reasons. She’s been through what most cannot imagine. All she wants is to teach and have fun, one night stands. Never letting men get close to her.
Liam is a sexy musician/songwriter. He has a heart of gold. Through his friendship with Sarah, he sees how closed off she is. He wants more. Liam is so gentle and breaks down the walls around Sarah’s heart. He rides along with her on her emotional rollercoaster. He is her calming rock. So perfect for each other.
I’m excited to see what Olivia Stephen has for us next!
