Hadley & Case's story is an interesting and heartwarming love story - a little Insta-attraction, a little "finding yourself" for both of them. I really enjoyed the read AND I REALLY liked that Hadley stood up for herself!
Thank you for your time, talent and THE STORY!

Reviews
This story gives food for thought as it reminds us of the importance of being open to new chances in life, love, changes and that we have to own our choices and not be submitted to the choices others make for us - in spite of them being our parents, spouses, lovers. Entertaining and easy to read, leaves a good message for the reader.
I downloaded a free copy of this book and this is my honest review.
The business world has enough conflict but to go home to family and find more heartache and unresolved issues is a double whammy. Hadley worked in New Orleans and decided to move to Annapolis to open a law firm. That was tough enough but her father was demanding she remain in New Orleans and work for him; he had paid for her education, welfare and well-being and he expected her to obey him. Well, that wasn’t going to happen but the result was lots of anxiety, heartache and disappointments. Arriving in her new office, she meets Cade who is not only a contractor but also has a karate business next door. This is all interesting, brings excitement and the temptation for romance. The story-line brought smiles and kept me reading right up until The End. I’m looking forward to the next book.
I was gifted this book and I wrote this review voluntarily. I loved this book and couldn’t stop turning the pages. You will love it.
4.5 Stars from Brianna!
Lea Coll hit it out of the park in this new to me book and y'all it was so, so good! Hadley and Cade won me over pretty early on in their romance and had me allllllll in my feels for the. entire. journey. Steamy, intense, emotional, and just the perfect balance of angst and swoon... you cannot miss out on Only with You, the first in the Annapolis Harbor series.
I highly recommend this book.
The book is good to read with a slow burn between Cade and Hadley. Of course, they have physical attraction to each other at first but Cade has his own baggage while Hadley wants to do everything for herself for the first time. I think I get the idea what both Cade and Hadley went through in the past and I am so glad that they met each other. And Cade is so swoon worthy too. Anyway, the story is a bit easily predictable so even if I enjoy reading the book, I decide to give it 4 stars.
P.S. I read and reviewed it on Goodreads since 4 months ago but I forgot to reviewed it here.
This was such a sweet story and I really loved the plot and characters, especially Hadley and Cade. I kinda wonder if you have a story in mind for Nolan. Poor guy needs love. Also glad I was never treated like Hadley was from her father...
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Lea Coll creates some amazing characters that are so easy to fall in love with! Hadley and Cade are both super sweet. It was so easy to imagine them together and their story was the perfect combo of sweet and steamy. Even her secondary characters are interesting and lovable. She definitely knows how to entice you into wanting the next book by making you interested in the characters before they even have a book of their own. On top of this, the settings of her books are just perfect! Her descriptions make me want to hop on a plane and go visit.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The main characters were Hadley and Cade.This story was fantastic and romantic.Everyone won't be disappointed in this book,I was happy when Hadley took the time to tell her father how she would take over her own life with out his money.
