Synopsis:

When Ivy reluctantly takes a new part-time job, it’s a means to an end. Doing this favor for her pain-in-the-neck roommate means Ivy can have her apartment to herself again much sooner. The last thing she expects is Hugh—the hot Scot who just happens to be her new boss—asking her out on a date. And then another. And another.

Something about Hugh makes Ivy want to let her guard down and open up, which would be perfect if he wasn't possibly returning to Scotland in a matter of weeks. But maybe that doesn’t matter. Maybe Ivy can learn to live in the moment and have a little fun, even if it means setting herself up for heartache later.

ONLY YOU is a standalone contemporary romance about taking chances, unexpected friendships, and holding on to the things—and people—that matter most.

When I read the synopsis of this book, I found that it was really interesting. Marie Landry knows how to write an amazing slow burn, holiday related romance. I didn't know what this book has in store for me but I was so prepared.

Ivy has been living with her cousin for the past few years and there are many reasons why Ivy cannot stand Celia, so when the opportunity that Celia has found a job at a Santa Village, Ivy was so happy for her to have finally found a job. Problem is? Ivy is one of the requirement for Celia to get her job. Working to jobs for Ivy will be a hectic time during the holiday season but meaning her new hot Scot boss is another. Now Ivy has to decided if she wanted to partake in this romance that will only last weeks before his return to Scotland.

At the beginning of this book, I found Ivy's roommate Celia to be really annoying which made me irritated and wanted to put the book down, however, when it came to the part where Ivy was requested to work the part-time job at Santa's village. I then became really excited to continue reading this part because I know she would later meet her new hot Scot boss and will probably fall in love. I love the tension between Ivy and Hugh. OMG! The first time they met each other and Ivy didn't know who Hugh was but the way they looked at each other was so intense that even I got the feels. This book was overall so cute and adorable with the relationship between Ivy and Hugh.

Since this was my first book by Marie Landry, I wasn't prepare for what's to come but I was overall very pleased with this book and am hoping to read more of Marie's book in the future.
