Sweet, but way too short! Didn't have enough of a plot to gnaw my teeth on LOL. I am loving this series and love the website so we can learn what it going on with our friends. They are starting to feel like family!

Only Us is a short novella in the Fool's Gold series. It is quick and not quite as full of Christmas magic as I would have likes. Really I love when it is something specific to Christmas that makes the couple fall in love or realize they are in love or whatever. Still this was a fun read and a good way to kick off the season for me.

Carina, or Rina to her friends, has been in love with Cameron forever. Or since she met him basically. Cameron who is her boss at the vets office. She spends a lot of time with him and his daughter, she takes the daughter to school every day and hangs out with her afterwards. They are really close and she loves his daughter just as much as she loves him. When they share a kiss one day Rina decides this is it. She has to finally tell Cameron how she feels about him. She is hoping to finally have her happily ever after.

Cameron is skeptical of love. He was married before, but when his ex left him shortly after his daughter was born he was hurt. He doesn't trust that someone will stay. It is better to be just friends than risk heartache again. When Rina tells him how she feels he panics. He cannot be with her that way. They are better as friends. Why does anything have to change? This way she will always be in his life and everything will be good. Man he was not the smartest. He does some things that just had me shaking my head, but I think he was trying to be a good person. I enjoyed reading the two of them and seeing if Cameron could overcome his hesitancy to be in another relationship. Really his daughter was adorable and stole the book for me. A quick, fun, light holiday read.

Very short story. I enjoyed it, but there just wasn't enough time to get really invested with the characters like the main books.

Great enhancer to Fool's Gold though.

Only Us is a novella in the Fool’s Gold series. Ahhhhh I just loved reading this book. I just fell in love with Carina and Cameron and I was just so sad to turn the last page. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

A short story but cute. I have been wanting to read this series but haven't with all the other series I've been reading. This book makes me want to put this series more to the front of the line. I love reading Susan Mallery's books.
