ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 30, 2019
At twelve years old, I was torn from my family.
At fourteen I met her: my reason to draw breath.
One look into Everly Williams’s big brown eyes and I knew I’d do anything to protect her. And for eight years I did. She was my world. My best friend.
But afraid I’d lose her, I held on too tight. Became a dark cloud blocking her sun. So I did what I needed to, and walked away. I hurt us both.
Now I’m home, and need Everly back in my life. Only everything is different. We’re different. My body burns for her when she’s near. And after one explosive kiss, I know she feels it too. I’ll do whatever it takes to earn her trust again.
Because I don’t want what we had before. I want it all…for a lifetime.
A best friend’s to lovers romance in the sexy new Rocktown Ink series.

REVIEW: MEANT FOR YOU is the third instalment in Sherilee Gray’s contemporary, adult ROCKTOWN INK erotic, romance series. This is twenty-four year old, tattoo artist Dane Calero, and twenty-two year old, ranch hand Everly Williams’ story line. MEANT FOR YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Dane and Everly) MEANT FOR YOU follows the friends to lovers relationship between tattoo artist Dane Calero, and ranch hand Everly Williams. At twelve years of age, following the death of her parents, Everly Williams landed in foster care where she would be friended by Dane Calero, a fourteen year old boy would become her guardian and protector until Everly found herself taken in by an aunt she never met, an aunt whose rigid viewpoints continue to affect Everly to present day. Having kept in close contact over the years, Dane suddenly disappeared leaving Everly alone without the boy she once knew. Fast forward to present day wherein Everly has moved to Dane’s hometown in an effort to pick up the pieces of her broken heart, working the ranch owned by Dane’s brother Cal . What ensues is the rebuilding friendship, relationship and romance between Dane and Everly, and the potential fall-out as Dane’s jealousy and anger threaten his new found friendship with the woman he loves.
Everly Williams was destroyed when her best friend disappeared out of her life. Months would pass before Everly was able to move on with her life, but moving on meant giving up on her friendship with Dane Calero. A bit naïve and innocent Everly would struggle with past relationships, relationships that paled compared to her love for our story line hero. Dane had never intended to break Everly’s heart. Their friendship was something Dane had always cherished but Dane’s issues with anger (aka hothead) meant Dane had to walk away from the woman he loved.
The relationship between Dane and Everly is a friends to lovers; a second chance friendship wherein Dane must come to terms with the people in Everly’s life including the male friends and possible lovers she met while Dane was away. Dane Calero is a man who struggles with issues of anger control, and in this he takes protecting Everly over the top when someone from her past pushes Dane over the edge. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are reintroduced to Dane’s brother Cal and his wife Cassie (Beg for You #1),Bull and Quinn (Sin for You #2), tattoo artist Trix, Grifter aka Riff, as well as the introduction of Everly’s friend Lila, her aunt Julia, and ex-boyfriends Martin Renshaw and Tanner Rogers.
MEANT FOR YOU is a story of family, friendships, second chances and love. The premise is engaging and captivating; the characters are colorful and energetic; the romance is seductive.
