When I was looking for a September pick for Maureen’s Books Book Club I immediately knew ‘The One For Me’ had to be an option. Yes, this is the third book in a series, but it’s also a standalone series, so everyone could read this book. Luckily for me, this book got voted for the September pick and I was able to start reading.

‘The One For Me’ is the story of Sean and Devney. They have been best friends forever, and over the years, although they haven’t been able to see each other as much, they stayed in touch. Now Devney has been back living in Sugarloaf for years, and it’s time for Sean to life 6 months on the Arrowood farm. So they will be living in the same town again. One night, when Devney is telling Sean about her boyfriend’s plans to ask her to marry him, Sean gets desperate. Although they have always just been friends, everyone always thought they would end up together, and in one desperate moment Sean kisses Devney. And things will never be the same again. Not only because they’ve been friends, but also because they have a chemistry between them that is undeniable. And well.. Sean doesn’t play fair at all.

The story of Devney and Sean was the one Arrowood story I was looking forward to the most. Sean is this famous baseball player and I just loved him from the moment we met him in the first book of the series. So when I dived in I simple couldn’t stop reading. The chemistry between Devney and Sean was definitely flying of the pages. And I really enjoyed reading how Sean worked to get Devney so far she was willing to try a relationship with him.

There were plenty of sexy and hot moments between Devney and Sean, but above all I loved their connection. There’s just this thing about friends becoming lovers. Sigh.. But off course this wouldn’t be a Corinne Michaels book if there weren’t some major obstacles along the way. And this book was definitely a rollercoaster emotional wise.

There is so much going on between Devney and Sean. And when they are finally starting to get an idea of how they are supposed to have a life together, something horrible happens. Something that I definitely didn’t expect and that made my heart hurt. It was just so sad and rough to read. But in a good way. And it definitely kept me guessing right until the very last page.

‘The One For Me’ was a very fun, romantic, sexy and intense read that I enjoyed from the very first page. And I loved this as a Book Club Read too. There was definitely enough to discuss about it. And I can’t wait to read more in this series.
