Twenty-four years ago Alex met the love of her life. Sixteen years ago she was engaged to marry her soulmate.But Fate had other plans… and help me grieve.
I didn’t think I could be happier. I didn’t know how much I missed Jackson until I found out that he was alive and my heart ripped open all over again.
The man whom I’d never stopped loving, was back, and I couldn’t give him the only thing he wanted: me.
Our second chance had its doors closed. It was supposed to be our moment, but I was no longer his and love was suffocating me. I was torn between two lives and no matter what decision I made, somebody would get hurt.

This novel completely took my breath away.
My heart ached.
The tears flowed.
This novel crushed my soul.
And I absolutely loved every minute of it.
Highly emotional I couldn’t help but feel every single emotion with every page turned. It consumed me from beginning to end.
It totally blew me away.
I haven’t read a novel so full to the brim with emotion for some time.
Only You…..Just brilliant.
A love story with twist after twist that will stay with me always.
Congratulations Lacey on giving readers absolute perfection.
These guys will stay with me always.
A emotional 5 stars.
So very much packed into the twists and turns of this one. True love torn apart. Life moved forward. Connection. Truth. Compassion. How do you do the right thing when your heart cries out to do the only thing?
Fairly well edited, although a few details, spellings, and repetitive wording were missed.
As Jackson and Alex talked on the phone just hours prior to their wedding, a knock at the door changed their life’s path. Someone kidnapped Jackson. Years later, Alex has found a new life. She is married to Adam, a mother of twins, and in business with her best friend. A trip to Florida finds her staring into eyes she could never forget, but never expected to see again. Jackson. And the empty that has been in Alex’s heart suddenly finds exactly what has been missing. So what now? Alex is married. She won’t just throw away the husband that loved her, that fathered her children. Life gets complicated. Jackson is moving back to town, and is actually Adam’s boss. He desperately wants Alex back, but is willing to respect her current life and choices. Adam faces a health crisis. Love, trust, compassion, and forgiveness are all tested. Will true love find it’s way forward?
Overall, I enjoyed the journey of this story. I felt there were a few loose ends, and definitely some unsatisfactory conclusions. The story of Jackson’s kidnapping and missing years was never fully addressed. It was hinted that a dog helped him escape somehow, but it was never explained. And then, when we get a hint of the responsible party, it is just shrugged off that it can never be proven. Really? What about the classic answer – follow the money trail? Surely holding someone for 5 years would leave a money trail a least a yard wide. (Although I’m thinking it would have been a mile based on the culprit.) Anyway, suspend some belief, dive into fiction, and follow Alex and Jackson as they navigate a life interrupted. Enjoy.
Complete story,very compelling!
I loved this book…
Jackson stole my heart! I rooted for him throughout this original storyline. If you need to believe in love and romance, chose this novel!
Have you ever read a book and felt so connected to the characters that you found yourself wishing you were part of their world? Well, thanks to the amazing writing styles of Lacey Silks you can do just that with her latest masterpiece, Only You! This book has you on an emotional roller-coaster of emotion and feelings that pulls you deeply into the lives and the complicated love story of Jackson and Alex! I was unable to put this book down once I began reading it and finished in in one sitting. What can I say, it was that GREAT! The characters have amazing chemistry and the story flows amazingly. I sure hope that Lou gets her own book **hint-hint** as she was a total bad ass! Do yourself a favor and get this complicated, passionate and engrossing story and be whisked away to a second chance story like you have never read before…you won’t be sorry!
