Sean and Devney’s story is the best friends to lovers book! I have loved every book in this series, and The One for Me is no different. Sean is everything you could want in a book boyfriend and more, and Devney is such a sweet heroine. I love their story and wish I could read it again for the first time.
MOVE OVER LIAM DEMPSEY, SEAN ARROWOOD has officially taken over as my CM Book Husband!!! I NEVER thought I’d EVER say those words, but it’s true! Sean Arrowood has stolen my heart from the Dreamboat of the Salvation Series….is the world ending right now??!!
Sean and Devney’s EPIC, angsty, roller-coaster ride of a romance has seared my very soul with their INCREDIBLY moving love story! I don’t think my heart will ever be the same after this and it’s ALL YOUR FAULT, Ms. Michaels!!! In true Corinne Michaels fashion, she LOVES to gut your heart like a fish before she puts it on the fire to roast….and The One For Me is no exception! I have not cried as hard at the completely unexpected twist in this story in a loooooong time but, in the end, my heart was put back together again in the best way!!!
The One For Me is a true best-friends-to-lovers romance with Sean realizing first that he’s been in love with Devney FOREVER! He then proceeds to prove to Devney that they are MEANT to be together….and my heart was GONE!!! *swoon*
” ‘ ?” ” ‘ , . ‘ .”
Devney is simply PERFECT! I love her strength, her fortitude, her sassy take-no-prisoners attitude and I especially love the way she stood up for herself in a very, VERY tough situation! I don’t know ANYONE who doesn’t regret a mistake made in the past, but the way Devney handled herself made me admire the heck out of her and I FELT all of her emotions like I was going through it myself!
Once again, Corinne Michaels delivers a remarkable, UNFORGETTABLE MUST READ, one that ranks in my TOP READS EVER!!!
The Arrowood Brothers series just keeps breaking and mending my heart. This is such a great series. While each is a standalone, I do recommend reading them in order only because the journey of each brother is so compelling and so unique, and you need to see how they go from “broken” to “whole” to appreciate how they change in their support of each other. They 100% support each other at all times, but the kind of advice and support they lend varies greatly.
Sean and Devney have quite the friends-to-lovers journey in The One For Me. This romance puts you through the emotional wringer. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll swoon, you’ll swear, and you’ll be rooting for this couple from page 1. Sean is determined. He knows what he wants, Devney, and he goes for it. Devney wants out of their small town, but she also wants Sean and she doesn’t know how to let go of the past to make it happen.
Sean and Devney’s story is beautiful. Simply, breathtakingly beautiful. It is so well written and emotional that it leaves you thoroughly satisfied.
Oh Corinne what have you done to us. How can we pick our favorite characters when they keep on becoming more hotter and romantic. I am sorry to say but I still love Mark and Wyatt! Anyways coming back to Sean and Devney, they were hilarious and romantic.
As always with Corinne’s books this was also filled with emotions and men drama. I love her writing, but somehow her male characters act like idiots and it takes for the whole family and community to remind them that their girl is in front of them. Like I mentioned above, I love Corinne’s writing and her characters. I absolutely can’t wait to read more from her.
Sean and Devney are perfect for each other, and at times I wanted to throw my phone away because of the situations they created and didn’t follow their hearts from the beginning. Thank you for an ARC reading opportunity. Most definitely worth reading and can’t wait to listen. Most definitely worth more than 5*************
I absolutely devoured The One For Me by Corinne Michaels. A friends to lovers romance that was emotional and angst-filled read. Best friends for as long as both could remember, Devney and Sean have always been there for each other, but Sean wants more. He is back home and is ready to prove to her all they can be, but he cannot stay. He needs to convince her to come with him. Can he show her they can be more and not lose the friendship that means so much to both of them? But what happens when tragedy strikes? Will their love survive? A definite must-read from Corinne! I loved the characters so much and their story will captivate you from start to finish!

Happy reading
The Arrowood brothers really know how to reel a girl in and this series just keeps getting better and better! The One For Me is EVERYTHING! Sean and Devney’s story is thoughtful, deep and emotional with just the perfect amount of romance and heat.
This best friends to lovers story is SO much more than I anticipated and I’m overwhelmed with all the feels right now. Sean has serious undeniable charm and is downright irresistible. And Devney is lovable with spunky personality that you just can’t help but love. I can’t wait to read Jacob’s book.
I was hooked from the first sentence. There was so much sexual tension between Sean and Devney. I cried all the tears. Sean and Devney are meant to be together. They just need to figure it out for themselves. Secrets are revealed. The journey is not an easy one, but they make it.
Just when I needed a reading escape that wasn’t going to break me Corinne delivers a book that swept me away with pure romance. I have enjoyed all the books and each of the brothers have touched me in some way but Sean is my favourite. He is that swoon worthy hero that Corinne writes so well. I am not going to talk about the story because like a fine wine this book has to be savoured slowly. This is one of the best friends to lovers I have read for some time. Even before they cross that line you can feel the love between them that has formed over the years. I LOVED Devney so much, she has made mistakes but owns them with courage and conviction. It goes without saying that the writing is flawless. The storyline is perfect and the characters are two of my favourite that she has written.
Nous partons à la découverte du 3ème frère Arrowood et après Connor et Declan, c’est au tour de Sean , le joueur de baseball d’entrer en scène. Il est charmant , mignon, adorable et on peut compter sur lui. Il est ami avec notre héroïne depuis plus de 20 ans et leur lien est vraiment très fort. Ils ont chacun des secrets et ils devront s’ouvrir l’un à l’autre s’ils veulent vivre quelque chose ensemble.
Sean Arrowood est un jeune homme de 30 ans et c’est à son tour de passer six mois dans la ferme familiale à Sugarloaf afin de remplir sa part du contrat. Il a quitté cette petite ville pour se construire une fantastique carrière sportive et son talent n’est plus à démontrer. Son secret le concernant n’en est plus un mais il doit encore s’ouvrir à sa meilleure amie qui ne connait pas cette part de lui. Ce secret a fait des ravages mais si ses frères ont réussi à se construire une vie familiale épanouie, lui préfère se concentrer sur sa carrière plutôt que sur ses amours. Cependant quand Devney lui annonce son futur mariage avec Oliver, c’est un électrochoc et il ouvre enfin les yeux sur ce que nombre d’autres personnages avaient déjà vu depuis longtemps. J’ai beaucoup aimé le personnage de Sean car malgré sa célébrité et sa richesse , il a su garder la tête sur les épaules et les pieds sur terre . J’ai aimé son attitude, sa démarche et son envie de faire du bien aux autres. Il a cette empathie et cette passion qui le pousse à aider les autres. De plus ses amis en Floride montrent aussi à quel point c’est un homme bien.
J’ai donc bien ri en le voyant avec ses frères car la connivence est de mise et malgré leur éducation passée, ils s’en sont tous bien sortis. Il faut dire que leur père a été odieux mais heureusement le souvenir de leur mère est un élément important à lequel se rattacher. Il va donc demander des conseils à ces hommes qui sont donc désormais mariés et heureux en ménage et ce fut un délice de retrouver Connor et Ellie mais aussi Declan et Sydney. Ces couples vont nous permettre d’en apprendre plus sur les nouvelles épreuves qu’ils ont affronté ensemble et ils sauront être de bons conseils pour nos deux héros. La complicité est donc de mise et j’ai désormais hâte de découvrir le dernier frère Jacob car nous n’avons que très peu d’informations à son sujet et les détails que nous recueillons le concernant lui et sa future héroïne nous donne très envie d’en savoir plus. Son amitié avec Devney est donc sans failles et la limite entre eux deux n’a jamais été franchie mais un baiser une nuit va changer la donne. Ils savent qu’ils peuvent compter l’un sur l’autre et c’est donc pour cela que Sean ne va pas hésiter à se livrer à elle sur le secret qui unit les 4 frères. Elle aussi a un secret et on espère donc que ce dernier ne va pas les séparer plus vite que prévu.
Devney Maxwell est une jeune femme de 30 ans qui a toujours vécu à Sugarloaf malgré quelques années d’études loin de sa ville natale. Nous savons dès le début qu’elle a un secret que j’ai très vite deviné mais cela ne m’a pas empêché d’apprécier grandement ma lecture. C’est une jeune femme qui a des liens assez difficiles avec sa mère car cette dernière est très rancunière à son sujet. Dans son passé , elle a commis une erreur mais à 20 ans, c’est normal d’avoir ce genre de souci. Elle va payer très chère cette erreur mais ne pourra pas compter sur sa mère pour l’épauler. C’est quelque chose dont elle a honte et dont elle n’a même pas parlé avec Sean. Heureusement son père est plus doux que sa mère et une relation est possible avec sa fille. Mais elle sera surtout très proche de son frère Jasper car lui et sa femme Hazel l’ont soutenu à un moment crucial de sa vie. Son neveu Austin aura également une place très importante dans sa vie et leur entente fait plaisir à voir. On se demande donc pourquoi elle n’a jamais quitté sa ville natale et si l’arrivée de Sean pourrait changer la donne. Se lancer dans une relation avec lui pour 6 mois c’est prendre le risque de gâcher une amitié tellement importante. On sent qu’ils s’aiment depuis longtemps mais prendra t-elle ce risque en sachant pertinemment que la vie de Sean est en Floride, à des milliers de kilomètres de chez elle?
Bref, un nouveau tome que j’ai adoré découvrir. L’histoire est de nouveau émouvante et attendrissante. J’ai passé un excellent moment de lecture et j’ai pris un grand plaisir à retrouver ces frères que j’aime depuis le début. Corinne Michaels nous offre aussi un aperçu de ce que Jacob nous réserve et nous allons clairement l’apprécier lui aussi.
De temps en temps, une romance qui tord le ventre et fait pleurer, c’est pas mal (mais juste de temps en temps). L’autrice nous tient ici en haleine et même si j’avais assez facilement deviné les deux gros secrets de l’histoire, j’ai adoré Sean, notre héros et sa capacité à aller de l’avant même s’il a peur de ce qu’il ressent. Il est d’un soutien sans faille pour Devney et il accepte tous ses choix et toutes ses décisions. Jusqu’au jour où il va devoir se battre pour elle et leur amour ! Le final est vraiment très mignon mais j’ai quand même une petite déception par rapport à la tournure des événements… pourquoi nous faire pleurer comme ça ??
I had been dying to get my hands on this book ever since I finished Fight For Me. I have adored this series so much and these brothers. Though I love everything that Corinne writes, these brothers are something special. I simply adore them and I want an Arrowood brother for myself. Mkay!
The One For Me is book three in the series but can be read as a standalone. Though I highly recommend reading the previous two books because they are amazing. This book follows the story of Devney and Sean. These two are best friends and they’ve always been that way. They’ve never had more feelings that friendship for each other and they are good with that. Devney has always been Sean’s home, no matter where he is. Cause with baseball he travels a lot but he knows he can always call her and be home.
Though now she’s engaged, things are different. But one drunken night might change that. Now out of their friendship, Sean wants more. He needs more and he know that he will have to fight for her. Devney is too scared to ruin their friendship. He’s too special to her. Sean wants to fight for her though. He knows he has six months to get it right with her. To prove that they can be more than friends.
But when something happens, that rocks Devney’s world… he knows it might just break them. This story is gorgeous, stunning, heart felt, and a tear jerker. I can say I had tears streaming down my cheeks while reading this one y’all. Sean and Devney are two characters I will never forget.
So this whole time, Corinne Michaels has been going on and on about Sean Arrowood. I wasn’t drinking the tea, because I thought their was no way Sean could be any better than his brothers. Boy was I wrong, Sean is pretty darn incredible!
Sean and Devney have been friends since they were kids and that friendship grew and blossomed into so much more. They are lucky to have this incredible foundation and that foundation is what got them through all the ups and downs life threw at them. I loved Devney, but Sean is what makes this book so amazing! His unwavering support of Devney is something every person should have in their lives. Now don’t get me wrong, Devney is incredible too. She is strong and selfless.
The One for Me is one of my favorite books this year! There were moments I had to put the book down and take a deep breath. This book was heartbreaking, but so so beautiful!
“I’ve got you”
4,5 stars
Such a compelling and emotional friends-to-lovers romance.
Devney and Sean had it all. It wasn’t only the romance. It was the loyalty, the camaraderie, the deep friendship. They got each other, they knew each other, they understood and respected and supported each other, no matter what.
More than lovers, more than friends, they were equal partners. They had what most people not even dream about because they don’t even know or believe it’s possible.
Yeah, yeah, they had a lot (a lot!) to overcome. There were so many things beyond their control. But when you find the one for you (and when you’ve known him/her for most of you life), you create, you find a way, you compromise, you adapt, you fight.
Because after getting a glimpse of heaven on earth, there is no way you let it go.
Wonderful.
Should be renamed THE ONE FOR MEL! Sean Arrowood is my new husband and obsession.
Book Boyfriend Perfection
You’re going to want to reread this immediately after you read it. This is everything you can ask for and more. Childhood best friends who over time have to face what is now their reality. Can these Best friends with stand what life is now bringing. Life ,love and friendship. OMG AHHH !
Choices and compromises
Life changing secrets
The Dynamic between Sean and Devney is one you will be hanging onto through every page.
Absolutely in love .
I think I have just found my forever book boyfriend in Sean Arrowood, I fell hard and fast for this man and it’s going to take a mighty player to knock him of top spot for MAN OF THE YEAR!!!!
I love this series but Sean is my favourite Arrowood brother to date, his story drew me in and didn’t let me go and it left wanting more. The One for Me is an emotional roller coaster that will tear you apart and then put you back together again and it’s a romance that will appeal to wide audience.
Sean never wanted you come home, however his father had other ideas and once he died he made sure his boys all came home but this also meant Sean was back with his best friend Devney, a girl who always had his back but this time around could they end up with more than friendship……
I loved Sean and Devney’s journey and I’m so glad Ms Michaels allowed us to join the ride, this book touched me on so many levels, I cried and I cried some more, i swooned, I smiled and I laughed as this couple who are destined to be together realised what feelings they really had for each other. That’s all I’m saying because this book needs to be read with no preconceived ideas you need to read it first hand, so I guess all that’s left to say is please one click this must read. I’m so excited for the last brother Jacob’s story can the final Arrowood top the list of book boyfriends…….
4.5 Stars!
Sean Arrowood is living his dream as a professional ballplayer in Tampa. He’s rich, famous, and one of the greatest catchers of all time. He’s a gorgeous eligible bachelor that’s married to the game. Baseball and his best friend Devney are his world. She’s been his person for over twenty years, and when he returns home to his family’s farm for six months he’s looking forward to spending some quality time with her. They’ve always kept things platonic between them, but one kiss changes everything. Suddenly he’s thinking very non friendly things, and wants a chance to show her what she means to him. He’s always loved her to the depths of his soul, but now he wants more. He just needs her to realize they belong together. He’s determined to win her heart and be her forever.
Devney Maxwell is a small town girl from Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania who is still trying to figure out her life and what she wants. When her best friend Sean returns home she’s forced to confront new feelings. He’s been the best part of her life since the second grade, and the one person she can count on no matter what. He’s her rock, and her safe place. She’s never shared a connection that compares to theirs, and lately when he’s near she feels her self control slipping. Blurring the lines could be dangerous, but she needs to stop overthinking things and get to the bottom of what’s between them. When they touch it feels right and perfect, but when secrets are exposed, will it ruin their future and what they could be? Will they choose to walk away or take a chance on love?
The One For Me (The Arrowood Brothers, #3) by Corinne Michaels is an emotional standalone friends to lovers romance about friendship, family, trust, undeniable chemistry, and unbreakable bonds. It’s an unforgettable love story with an irresistible hero that is swoony perfection. I adored Sean and his playful banter and beautiful heart. He’s now my favorite Arrowood brother! I can’t wait for Jacob’s book up next!
This book I couldn’t put down. Devney and Sean have been friends since they were little kids. Now Sean coming back to town for six months they both realize they don’t only love each other as friends. But can they have more? Sean has six months to show Devney how much he loves and has for their entire friendship but he was to afraid to loose her as his friend. Devney had what she thought was the man of her life but life proved her wrong. Now having her best friend back in town she had to decide if she could open her heart to the man she’s loved her entire life. Corinne shares with us more of the Arrowood brothers and how once you open your heart to a woman you love they all will do everything to keep them.
“What’s a truth about an arrow?”
This is the third Arrowood brother we get to know and fall in love and he is probably my favorite so far.
Sean and Devney have been friends since they were kids and deep down they both knew there was something else but both were afraid to admit it.
Now Sean is back to his hometown, a place he hates but also a place where all the secrets and lies will come out and will change their lives.
“Sean Arrowood has always been your rock, don’t throw it into the river.”
Sean is the most understanding guy but he is also determinated to make Devney see they have a future even when Devney doesn’t see one.
Both have secrets they need to share with each other if they want to have a future but they are also afraid everything will ruin what they have.
I can’t wait to read Jacob’s story and have, finally the 4 Arrowood together and read more about each of them.
The One for Me is book 3 in the Arrowood Brothers Series. Each book is about a brother. This is Sean’s story.
Let me just say that friends-to-lovers typically aren’t my jam, but Sean and Devney’s story just blew my mind, destroyed my heart, and then left me feeling like a big ole sappy ball of mush from all the happy. I was at a loss for words trying to process all the emotions Mrs. Corinne Michaels just forced upon me.
Sean is a major league baseball player living in Florida until he has to come home to Sugarloaf, PA for 6 months due to the stipulations in his father’s will.
Devney is and has always been Sean’s best friend. She is dating Oliver and working for Sydney (the heroine in Fight for Me, book 2 of this series.) Devney is elated to have Sean close for the next 6 months.
Everyone knows that they are perfect for each other…. well…. except for them. Then Sean decides to go and kiss Devney, and of course, everything changes.
The first half of this book was pretty easy on my heart, and then I got to the second half. Devney is harboring a secret that only her family knows about. She decides to share this secret with Sean. But before she can, a series of events happen, and the emotions they provoked left me a blubbering mess as I valiantly tried to forge on. Warning**** keep tissues handy! You will need them! My heart broke for these characters, just crumbled to dust. But slowly, word by word, the ending left me completely enchanted. Corinne Michaels can do heartache and angst like no other author I’ve read. Thank the heavens that she can also do happy endings like a champ because these characters deserved every ounce of happiness that came their way.

This is the third book in the Arrowhead series and I adored it! This book may just be my favorite of the series so far! This is a small town, friends to lovers with angst. I loved the friendship and chemistry between Devney and Sean!!
