Arrochar Adair has loved her brother’s ex-bodyguard and best friend, Mac Galbraith, for years. Once upon a time, she was too young for him, but now that she’s a mature woman in her thirties, Arro can see no issue with their difference in age. Yet something deeper, a problem much more difficult to surmount, is keeping them apart.
Mac Galbraith remembers clearly the night Arro became everything to him, no longer just his best friend and boss’s younger sister. However, having made many mistakes over the years, there is one mistake Mac is determined not to make: to believe that he is worthy of Arrochar Adair. Allowing them to grow closer during his daughter, Robyn’s, return has proven his undoing. And when Arro forces the subject of their relationship, his response pushes her away. He just never meant for it to destroy them completely.
Devastated by Mac’s final rejection, Arro is determined to move on without him in her life, though he seems intent on staying put. And when the Adair family face a new threat, one that may have ties to Mac’s past, Arro can’t seem to be rid of the man. In fact, Mac will do anything to protect her.
But with so much hurt between them, will Arro let Mac close enough to guard her from their enemy… before it’s too late?

‘Always You’ was definitely one of the books I looked forward to the most in 2022. I just love Samantha Young’s writing, and her Adair Family series just pulled me in right from the start. So when I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of ‘Always You’, I dived right in and didn’t stop reading until I read every single page.

Ever since reading the first book in this series ‘Here With Me’, and reading about Mac Galbraith I knew I wanted to read his story. Even though we only get to read about him a little bit throughout the first two books in the series, I loved him and I knew that his story would be good. Especially when I read about the secret glances he shared with Arrochar Adair. And Samantha Young definitely didn’t disappoint.

Mac has never been one for making the best choices. A few of the choices he made, devastated him and changed his life. So when he found himself looking at Arrochar Adair differently than how he did before, he was determined to ignore his feelings. Arro was his best friend’s little sister, and a lot younger. And she was also one of the best things in his life, and he wanted to protect her from him above everything else. But one moment between them, changed everything and now Arro doesn’t want anything to do with him.

Arro has always loved Mac. But he was always the older best friend of her brother. Over the years, she sometimes wondered if she was correct in thinking he looked at her differently. But she was always reminded, he only looked at her as a friend. Now everything is different. Mac made sure of it. And Arro is devastated. But suddenly Mac is determined to stay. And to make matters worse, someone is trying to hurt Arro.

This book was just so good. It totally gave me all the feels! Mac and Arro have this amazing chemistry that just flies of the pages right from the start. And I loved reading their story, especially through both there eyes. Yes, it was frustrating as well! If only they talked more, or acted differently. But it was perfect for them and it made there story definitely one of my favorite in the series.

‘Always You’ was a great read filled with amazing romance, and some thrilling suspense. I can’t wait to read about the two other Adair brothers.
