Description:
Ella Abbott has long been secretly in love with Gavin Guthrie. A few recent encounters have only added to her infatuation, especially the kiss they shared at her sister’s wedding. It doesn’t matter to Ella that Gavin is in a bad place. He says there’s no hope for a future with him, that he has nothing to offer her. But all Ella cares about is the love she feels.

It’s been seven long years since Gavin lost his brother. He’d kept himself under control and moving forward until his brother’s beloved dog died and his brother’s widow re-married. Since then, he’s been drinking, fighting, and even getting arrested. It seems the only time his demons leave him alone is when Ella is around.

Gavin knows it wouldn’t be fair to drag Ella into his darkness, but when she inserts herself into his life, what choice does he have but to allow her to soothe his aching heart?

Review:

It’s Only Love by Marie Force is the 5^th book in her wonderful Green Mountain series. This is a fabulous family oriented series, and in each book we get to spend time with all the family members we have met before. It’s Only Love brings us the couple we have been waiting a long time for…Ella and Gavin.

Ella Abbot has always loved Gavin Guthrie, but after the tragic death of his brother years ago, Gavin did not allow himself to feel anything but cold heart grief.   One night, after Gavin got into a drunken brawl, Ella is called to come to the bar and take Gavin home. Why Ella? Gavin has broken her heart by not reciprocating the feelings she shows him. She has given up on Gavin Guthrie, and she was shocked to find her name was in his wallet, in case of an emergency.

Gavin at first is angry that Ella was called, but when she forces herself into his life to bring him home and take care of him; things are about to change. Gavin has always loved Ella, but thought he was totally unworthy. But Ella looks at him in adoration, and Gavin no longer can resist the woman who makes him feel normal.

What follows is a sweet, loving romance between two people who were meant to be together, but with so obstacles blocking the way. Ella and Gavin dive in with everything they have to open themselves to their love for each other. When they gave in to their lust, the sex scenes were totally beautiful, sensual and sizzling.

The Abbott family was full force in this book, as they worried that Gavin will break Ella’s heart again; since they were not sure he was mentally recovered from the tragic grief that strangled him. I loved the Abbot family, and Green Mountain, and enjoyed the parts where they tried to help Ella. It was great to see Hannah, Noah, Will, Cameron, and all the Abbots.

As much as they love each other, the obstacles will rear its ugly head, causing major doubts. Will Ella be able to handle Gavin’s down moments and trust that he won’t hurt her again? Can Gavin keep his promises that he will always stay by her?

It is a wild finish, with us worrying the entire way. Marie Force once again gives us a fabulous addition to her wonderful Green Mountain series.   The next book is either Charley or Max’s turn. Can’t wait. This series is a fun, sweet, romantic adventure with a fabulous family.
