Release Blitz & Review: Only For You (Valentine Bay #4) by Samantha Leigh

Title: Only For You
Series: Valentine Bay #4
Author: Samantha Leigh
Release Date: February 12, 2024

He’s my new roommate. The best friend I’ve loved forever. But now he’s a scorching-hot single dad and there’s only one bed.

I am so screwed.

You know the story about “that girl” in high school? Well, that was me, but I’d never let a lousy rumour rule my life. I took every word and rewrote the script. Abigail Ellison: all game, no shame.

It’s kind of my brand.

Will Kidd is an irresistible bartender with a rep of his own. He wants me. I want him. But I refuse to be a notch on his bedpost or let him be another on mine.

When a baby wearing his dimples lands on Will’s doorstep the same day I come begging for a place to crash, Will finally gets serious—and his overprotective daddy vibe is seriously hot.

Now we’re raising a baby in Will’s loft. It’s tense. We’re stressed. Will can’t keep sleeping on the sofa and I’m months into a never-ending man-drought, but we know one way to blow off steam…

In no time at all, everything good in my world looks like all the things I never wanted. The man, the home, the business, the baby… But it’s impossible to believe any of it is mine to keep.

After all, former bad girls and reformed playboys don’t get happily-ever-afters… Do they?

This book was so addicting! This was such a darling romance that captured a little piece of my heart. 

Samantha Leigh has a fluid and easygoing writing style that I immediately connected with. I just love opening a book and finding that the writing style feels as if it were tailored just for me. The plot of the story was very entertaining. I loved the execution of tropes used in the story. 

These characters were so vivid and fleshed out. I loved the complex characterizations and distinct character voices. The character development was fantastic. The secondary characters were a delight and rounded out the story perfectly. 

The friends-to-lovers trope was especially well done. I felt the emotion and connection between Abbie and Will. The single dad trope played well into the story and added some feels. It was so obvious that these two belonged together. Their flirty banter and longing looks were dead giveaways. They had such an organic and electric chemistry. I was rooting for this couple the whole time. 

Overall, this was a brilliant small-town single dad friends-to-lovers romance that closes out the Valentine Bay series beautifully. If you enjoy books with well-developed characters, an engaging plot, and flawless storytelling then you should pick this one up. This is an author that will be staying on my radar!
