After being medically discharged from the SEALS, Liam Stevens worked himself to the bone to make a good life. He thought he had it all planned out, but those plans changed when he saw a blonde beauty stranded along the side of the road. Everly wasn’t your usual damsel in distress. She had an independent streak a mile long. It would take a certain kind of man to handle that and Liam knew he was … was definitely that man.
He knew the moment he looked into her eyes that she was meant to be his and nothing would stop him from claiming her.
This isn’t our first go around. By now you know what to expect. Hot Alpha with eyes only for one woman and the minute he sees her, he sets about making her his. Love happens hard, fast, and hot. So grab a drink and dive in. And as always 100 percent Safe… unless we’re talking birth control…

I loved this story and Tory Baker is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I love that the story doesn’t have huge conflicts. It doesn’t drag either. It has the ultimate alpha male that sees the girl he loves, does everything to protect her and care for her but also allows her independence. The story is a progression of their relationship without added baggage. Their scenes are steamy and I can’t get enough. I love the openness showed in breastfeeding as well.

Another cute and short insta-love read from Tory Baker! Liam is somewhat lost after his untimely end to his Navy SEAL career; while he has moved on he still feels there is something missing in his life. He finds said missing thing on the side of the road one day while on leave from his new job. With the string of bad luck that Everly has had, she’s just trying to keep it all together for a little bit longer so she can graduate school and start her career. When Liam pulls over to assist her, she is hesitant but instantly there is an attraction, and throughout the book, they act on it rather quickly. I really love how Tory’s stories can capture you even while being short novellas, and they always resolve themselves throughout the storyline. There is always a happy ending, and that’s the best part!

When Liam helps Everly when she is stranded by her broken down car, a deal is made between the two that she will cook meals for him & he fixes her car. Trying to finish cosmetology school & working full time, she doesn’t have the extra money to pay a mechanic so this is a perfect exchange. As they spend time together their attraction to each other ignites a possessiveness from Liam wanting to make Everly his forever. But with his upcoming month-long away from home for work catching up to them, will they be able to continue their newfound romance?
I love how independent Everly is, never wanting Liam for his money, only wanting him. And Liam wants to do everything he can for her. Looking forward to the next book!
Everly can’t believe her luck when her car breaks down and a handsome man stops to help. Liam is everything a girl could want and amazingly he wants her. Fate must have been smiling on Liam, for him to find the most perfect woman in the world. Unfortunately, he has to leave soon for a month. Can he convince her that they are meant to be?
Liam is a smart but sweet as all get out hottie. He values Everly right from the start. He puts her needs and wants before anything else and wants to build a life with her. Everly is just as sweet. For a twenty year old, she has a plan and is making her dreams come true. Meeting Liam just puts the icing on the cake. These two deserve their happy ever after. These two are just so sweet together, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. The joy these two find in each other just made me so happy. Safe and sweet, I can’t wait to see what Tory Baker has in store for us next!
SOMETIMES THINGS ARE JUST MEANT TO BE…
I always love Tory Baker’s novellas, and MEANT TO BE is just more proof that she is quickly rising to the top of the hot little novella…
Thirty-four year old Liam Stevens, a medically discharged, former Navy Seal, literally picks up hard-working, virginal, twenty year old future cosmetologist, Emily Danes, from the side of the road……after her car breaks down…..He has the tow truck driver tow her car to his house, so he can do the work himself……He takes her to his home, they eat pizza, and he takes her to her home…..and they are pretty much done at that point……They take it slow….but there is never a doubt these two belong together…..
Good story, good characters with good chemistry and a good ending…..Another good Tory Baker “hot bite!”
I loved this story from the start. I loved Everly, she’s a strong, determined young woman going after her goals. Her spark with Liam is intense. He’s the protector, and yet so sweet and caring. This is a great read, quick and smooth.
Liam is building a new life, literally and figuratively, after his career with the Navy Seals ended with a medical discharge. He’s doing private security, working on his home, and moving on. But there’s something missing. He didn’t know what until he stopped to help the beautiful woman stranded by the road. Everly with her beauty, her strength, and her independence called to Liam. They seemed to fit together in every way. What started as a helping hand turned into the beginning of a love story.
This is hands down my favorite story from Tory Baker. The characters were so relatable and ordinary. Finding your special one, falling in love, and planning your HEA!
Liam and Everly are beautiful characters in Meant to be. Liam is a Seal who returns home after being wounded, he is finding himself in a new life where he meets Everly a girl who changes his whole world. I love your books and how they always bring a wonderful happily ever after.
Loved Liam and Everly
Liam is 32, a former SEAL, medically discharged, who now works security. Home for the next month, before his next overseas job, he has been remodeling his house. Then he meets Everly on the side of the road, and he likes what he sees.
Everly at 20 has a plan. She want to own her own salon. For now she is busting her butt, working as a waitress at going to school. Car trouble is something she can’t afford. She has a plan for that too, the bus and walk. Then she meets Liam, and he has a plan. He will fix her car for a few home cooked meals.
A short time spent with Everly and Liam knows she is The women he didn’t know he wanted or needed. He has a month to make her his before his next job takes him away again.
A sweet and steamy older man younger women romance. Loved Liam and Everly ‘s story. Great epilogue to wrap their story up.
Tory’s books are an automatic buy for me. I know I will get a great story.
This is an instalove.
Liam helps Everly with her car. What he finds is his one.
Everly has no clue that her life is going to change with a simple interaction.
This was an ok read for me. I personally didn’t connect with the characters like I would have liked.

Sometimes it is nice to read a straight forward romance without a whole bunch of drama and chaos. This book is one of them . Everly and Liam have a beautiful love story that is a quick read and will not disappoint. These two meet when Everly’s car breaks down and Liam assists her. Not wanting to give much of the story away, I recommend this book. The chemistry is there and the plot was to the point, flows well and ends with a HEA.
