Only Mine by Susan Mallery
5.0
I know I mention this in all my reviews, but I really love Susan Mallery. Like, seriously. I've been wanting to read about the Hendrix triplets ever since they were introduced and I learned more about them in Almost Perfect. So, it was with great excitement that I found this book in the store almost a week before it was due to be out for the masses. I squealed. If I hadn't been in public, I probably would have jumped for joy. As it is, I saw it from pretty far away and sprinted over to the book section to snatch it off the shelf. I was too excited to be embarrassed. But, my extreme behavior aside, I just can't get over how much I loved this book. It was so great!
As I mentioned above, I've always been interested in the triplets. Even though I could barely keep them and their names straight. But I absolutely adore them now. It was so interesting to finally see how they interact from one of their points of view instead of an outsider's. Dakota is the first of the triplets to find love and family with this book, and I'm glad I got to know her. Despite being frustrated with her a bit, I loved her character. At this point, I think Nevada might be my favorite, but all three of the sisters are great.
I loved Finn from the first page when he tried to threaten or bribe Dakota not to put his twin brothers on the reality television show taking over the town of Fool's Gold. And my love of him grew with every page, despite the fact that he could be quite the stubborn jerk sometimes, especially regarding his brothers Sasha and Stephen. Then, when he helped Dakota with baby Hannah and was so sweet with the little girl? Oh, he stole my heart. (Or, well, tried to. With regards to this series, Ethan still has it. That ridiculous, sexy man!) I wanted to hit him upside the head for leaving, but it was only to be expected in a romance novel. However, the situation worked out perfectly and I still adore him.
This is the first book of the Fool's Gold series to have a secondary romance to it. And I loved it! Stephen and Aurelia were so adorable together. They are a perfect match, which was completely evident by the fact that they helped each other grow and finally stand up for themselves to their respective families. Like I said, adorable. I love those two!
I'm kind of mad at myself that I read this book in one day. Why do I do this to myself? Why do I torture myself this way? Because now I have to wait at least a month--if not two--for Only Yours about Montana, and even longer for Only His about Nevada! If only they were all published at the same time, that would make my life so much easier!
