I loved the characters and the Italian vs. Greek knock down, drag out, fight to the death elements were hysterical. I book you do not want to miss.
Loved this book and how it had a little bit of suspense in it. Nic is a total ladies man and a love’em and leave’em kind of guy. Until Gabi….
Liked reading about these two characters.
5.0 Star Review Only With Me by Kelly Elliott
This was a new author to me and I have NO idea why. I will certainly be looking at reading more books from Ms. Elliott.
What’s not to love about a Greek SWAT team member and a sassy, yet vulnerable baker? This is Nic and Gabi’s story; one I totally loved.
Having been brought up with extended family who are Greek, I jumped at the chance to read this book. It was everything that I expected. At times I laughed so much that I had tears running down my cheeks; there were so many secondary characters that I could see as my “Greek” family.
When Nic finds himself in Gabi’s Italian bakery, he is instantly attracted to Gabi, so much so that it feels like lightening has struck him. Gabi is also smitten, but she has secrets, can she afford to get involved with a cop?
The air sizzles between them and it almost feels as though they will combust. After living so long in fear, Gabi decides it’s time to jump back into life and who better than a hot and dangerous Greek. Nic is everything that she wants and although she is shocked that he is just as interested in her, Gabi decides to take a risk and open her heart to the possibiloty of love.
The relationship between Nic and Gabi is passionate and intense, throw in an interfering Greek family headed by Nic’s mother (who made me laugh and cringe on numerous occasions) and you have one heck of a roller-coaster of a story.
I have to say that I particularly liked the banter and confrontations between Gabi and Nic’s mother, their scenes together made for some snort worthy moments throughout the book. What an awesome character she is!
When miss-communication between Gabi and Nic push them apart, danger rears it’s head. Will they come to their senses in time? Will Gabi’s past finally come back to destroy her or will Nic be able to save the women who has captured his heart? One click now and find out.
Only With Me by Kelly Elliott is incredible!!!!
This author could write about anything, and it would instantly become a favourite of mine. This book is definitely no different. As soon as I started reading it, I knew that it would become one of my top reads of the year. I was 100% correct.
Every single detail had me wanting to know more and more about the characters. In addition, you will be swooning, laughing and loving every second.
I was captivated by this book throughout the entire thing. Go and pick it up for yourself today!
5/5 Stars!
What could possibly happen when you have an Italian Beauty and a Greek God fall for each other, but you have a Greek Mother to win over. Nic’s mom thinks only a Greek woman is best for her sons. Nic and Gabi will prove love trumps everything These two will have many bumps in the road to find their Happy Ever After, but Gabi’s pass she is hiding from , will the truth tear them apart or will what they have get them through it all. I have never read a book by this author I didn’t fall in love with the characters and their story
Kelly Elliott has outdone herself with this book. I think this might just be my favorite book of hers to date!! and that is saying something since I have loved every single one of her books.
There was something about Only With Me that just sucked me in. I felt all the emotions the characters felt and I wanted to a part of their story. I absolutely LOVED the craziness of Nic’s Greek family, but I also loved how it didn’t intimidate Gabi…she knew how to stand up to his mom and his grandma. I want to be a part of Nic’s family 🙂
Only With Me is a standalone novel told in Dual POV. It is a fun and entertaining read, but had a hidden element of suspense to it. You know Gabi has a secret from the beginning, but you don’t know what it is and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough until I got my answers. This book will also touch on all of your emotions. I was laughing out loud at many times in the story, but I also cried and almost through my kindle in anger. And don’t worry you will absolutely swoon when you meet Nic. Boy he can talk Greek to me any day. My panties melted on many occasions 😉 Make sure you have a fan and ice water next to you when you read this book.
This book can be read by itself but my recommendation is that you should read Stay With Me first. I think it will help you understand the characters of this story better as well as understanding Nic’s family better. But you can still read this one alone, you won’t be lost and the storylines are completely separate. Trust me when I say you are going to want to read both of these books, because they are truly amazing!!!!
Only With Me is a fairly quick read but nothing was too rushed. There isn’t a whole lot of excess drama, but just enough to keep your interest. She also added a suspenseful element to this story so you kept turning the pages to see how it all worked out. I will warn you that if you aren’t an insta-love story person, then you may want to pass on this book. Nic and Gabi’s love story happens fairly quickly. I loved it and thought it worked perfectly for this couple, but I know there are readers out there who really don’t like that style of story. I thought the pace and flow of the story were spot on. I also loved that not only did she give us the greek heritage again, but she gave us a little bit of the Italian heritage as well. It was a fun mixture 🙂
I loved how much Thano and Kilyn played a part in this book. It was great to see this couple a couple of years after their story (Stay With Me) I also loved that we got to know Thad and Phoebe better in this story. I also loved the new characters she introduced to us. Charity (Gabi’s BFF) and Cole (Nic’s BFF). I loved where she took these characters. You are going to want to meet them too. They all added the comic relief to this story.
If you are looking for a book that is fun, sexy, features a sexy Greek God, and a crazy greek family, then you’ll want to read Only With Me. But if you are already a fan of Kelly Elliott’s then you don’t want to miss this book. She gave us another great love story with characters that just melted my heart.
