Clean, sweet, opposites attract, story between a baker and Scottish boxer. At first they are enemies, but quickly discover their businesses are next to each other and that they can better let go of past failures and accomplish their dreams by being friends…and maybe more!
This was a sweet story of how people you would never expect are drawn to each other. It is well written with a easy build that make the story line even better. This is book that was hard to put down.

Sophie and Teagh are new neighbors, both with new businesses, as well as at home. This means they bump into each other constantly and are on the defensive every time. She has a bakery and he is restarting with a gym. She gets into trouble behind her store and he steps in to help. He later needs a little help and she assists when his ex tries to come back onto the scene, and his parents are happy Sophie is around. This book has a very slow build, but those sometimes are the best and last forever. Just the story that will brighten up a bad day for you. It is a book you will not be able to put down, but smile when you do.

AMAZING! A fantastic, well written read. An intense storyline that holds your attention as you get caught up in the fierce twists and hot chemistry. Plenty of excitement and emotionally heartfelt. A thrilling must read.
I always enjoy picking up a book by Ms. Hall and this one did not disappoint either. This is the first book in The Only Us Billionaire Romance series. I think the series is off to a great start. Teagh’s parents are visiting and assume him and Sophie are a couple. They don’t necessarily deny it, and given their chemistry it’s not so far fetched. I really loved the sweet relationship that grew between the two. The character development was great and Sophie and Teagh were an endearing couple. Loved the book, can’t wait to read the next installment!

Starting over.
Both Teagh and Sophie are starting over in New York. Business neighbors, Sophie is a southern belle baker who thinks she’s cursed.
Teagh is her total opposite. A Scottish brawny boxer who is opening a gym next to her bakery. He’s got an evil ex and a strong adversion to marriage.
Somehow sweet and uplifting. They are finding their way through their flaws.

So excited for another Only Us book! I have been so sad the series was over and so excited to find another book! There were wonderful characters, as usual, and some good pieces of wisdom within.

Sweet start but SOOOO many issues.
Sophie Johansson just recently opened her bakery Honey and Lavender when she has to deal with loud rock music playing at the boxing gym next door making it difficult to hear her customers. Deciding to kill the owner with kindness she takes over some baked goods but seeing the way the large angry looking man is hitting the heavy bag she just leaves. When the owner later comes to her rescue she suddenly sees him in a different light.
Teagh Coyle is close to opening his own boxing gym but the scents coming from the bakery next door are hard to resist so he wanders over just to find the owner is vaguely familiar. A few days later a disturbance has him going into full on protective mode when Sophie is in danger. Teagh finds himself quickly taken in by the adorably sweet bakery owner but what will he do when his ex shows up determined to cause trouble?
First – this author needs a decent proofreader in the worst possible way.
Second – why would a guy NOT tell his bakery owning girlfriend he has a deady peanut allergy.
Third – how does a guy catch his ex-wife kissing a guy, manage to get through a nasty divorce, losing all his assets to her, and still make such an outrageous financial comeback in just one year?
And fourth – we all know this is a romance novel and expect Sophie and Teagh will end up together so I’ll just say this – Teagh’s proposal fell REALLY flat for me. No woman wants a guy to say, ‘I want you in my life… if that means I have (read – HAVE) to put a ring on your finger… then I will’.
She is a baker and he is a boxer but they are also rivals as they have business next to each. Can they continue to work their way? Will they find they have a connection? Can they become more? See what will happen between them

A good clean romance.
Sophie has been given a fresh start in the form of an inheritance. She makes the move to New York to the apartment that she’s inherited and uses the money to open up a bakery.
This puts her in the path of a rude Scot who might just find a soft place in his heart for a sweet baker, even if he is a macho boxing enthusiast!
A great read about the power of God in our lives and the importance of His timing.

This is the first time I’ve read a book by this author, and I really enjoyed it. This is a sweet, clean romance. The characters, Sophia and Teagh, are interesting and well-developed. The story is interesting, well-written with a happily ever after. In addition to receiving an arc, I purchased the book for my collection.
.
Sophie owns a bakery and is sweet and generous while Teagh owns a boxing gym and is tough and suspicious. They’re work and apartment neighbors who didn’t get off on the right foot until she’s held at knife point in their shared alley and he starts to feel protective towards her. I loved his fast talking enthusiastic Scottish parents. They were so funny and welcoming of who they assumed was Teagh’s new girlfriend Sophie and protective against his nasty ex-wife. The baked goods Sophie made and the meals Teagh cooked sounded so yummy. This was sweet Christian romance with funny, sweet, and some sad moments.
Sophie owns a bakery next door to the boxing gym owned by Teagh. This is a sweet romance between two people not looking for a relationship by life keeps them running into each other. Great writing with even better characters that will keep you drawn into the story.
