Review:
I received this short romance from a blog tour in exchange of an honest review.
Lyla has refused to truly let any man into her heart since Alex betrayed her trust and left her heartbroken five years ago. To please her grandmother she agrees to marry Nick but it’s clear she doesn’t love him.
When she accepts to work on a big project for her firm she once again comes face to face with Alex – her new boss who she’ll have to spend a whole month with– and is forced to deal with her mixed emotions: anger, betrayal, lust and love.
Always You is a quick and interesting read. I thought some of the sentences were a little weird and the storyline was a little predictable but I still enjoyed the book. The chemistry between the characters kept me interested and urged me keep reading until their stories came to an end.
I actually really liked Alex and thought his snarky comments were very entertaining.
I would definitely recommend Always You to anyone who enjoys a quick contemporary romance story with some steamy moments and good chemistry between the main characters.
Rating: Somewhere Between Readable and Worth Your Time ( 3 ½ Stars)
The synopsis sounds very intriguing! I want to know if Alex and Lyla work it out. I expect with them working together they will grow close again. Sounds good and I do enjoy a nice fun, fast, and hot read every now and then.
