There are absolutely no words that can express how incredibly
fabulous Only Yours was to read. Susan Mallery has written a real "hit" with this September release which showcased the second Hendrix triplet, Montana. Fools Gold, Cailforna is a town everyone would want to move to as the residents not only love their town, they love and support each other.

I knew this book would be a winner and it was. It placed #7 on the New York Times Best Selling list. I've read the entire series and recently Only Mine, and loved it. However, this one I adored because it was so intense regarding the heroine Montana Hendrix and a man who touched her soul; plastic surgeon Simon Bradley. Their chemistry rocked the seismic charts!

Montana had a couple of issues due to past boyfriends. She never felt she was good enough; they had always commented on "how she could improve" herself. There was also the fact that it took her a little longer than her sisters Dakota and Nevada to find her career path. Montana helped train service dogs. She not only did that, she had also created a reading program at the local library. Children with reading problems, read to dogs and the reading program became a huge success. Montana's boss was Max, a former Fools Gold resident and he had some secrets. He wasn't the only one in town keeping secrets, so was Denise Hendrix, the triplets mom and so was Dr. Simon Bradley. His childhood secret will rip your heart out!

Mallery's hero was a plastic surgeon with a "tortured" past. Half of his face was scared from a fire, plus other parts of his torso. The other side of his face was extremely handsome. He travelled the world performing miracles on burn patients and now he was in Fools Gold. doing the same. He had one very special patient, a little girl, Kalinda who had been badly burned over most of her body. People from all over the world were traveling to Fools Gold for treatment. He met Montana in a most bizarre way when she was walking a poodle named Fluffy, who got loose. Fluffy made her way into Fools Gold hospital, causing all sorts of havoc and who did she bump into; the grumpy, Dr. Simon Bradley.

As it turned out, it was their destiny to meet and in the end Montana brought a sweet little six pound poodle named Cece to help heal little Kalinda. I've read many interviews Susan Mallery has given and she describes Only Yours as a beauty and the beast story. Honestly, I believe it was more than that because Simon wore his scars like a "badge" of courage. He wanted his patients to see they could survive and live in the world, even with scars caused by burns. From Mayor Marsha, the Hendrix family, and the people of Fools Gold, they all recognized his brilliance. They wanted Simon to stay and not move on to his next scheduled job in Peru. The Mayor enlisted Montana to show him around town and try to convenience him to stay. In the end, it all backfired because Montana fell in love.

As you can well imagine, Montana wasn't like any of the women Simon bedded, she "got him", she didn't see his scars, she accepted him as he was and she was like no other woman he had ever met. However I wondered at what point he would push her away? Montana and Simon definitely had passion, saw into each others souls and she was the very first woman who he let into his heart. But was that enough to keep him in Fools Gold because he was so driven to be the best and help those who would not normally be able to get this sort or care? And then the most horrible thing was revealed in Only Yours, how Simon was burned and who caused it. Physically it made me sick, it was so horrible.

The secondary characters were incredible. in Only Yours. Susan Mallery only wets your appetite for wanting to read more books in this wonderful series. Some of the Fools Gold residents were introduced to readers in earlier books like the Hendrix family and they only enhanced the story. New characters and secrets were also revealed. So many warm and wonderful town residents with stories I can't wait to read in future books. Nevada Hendrix story will be the next in Only His. If you're a fan of Susan Mallery's and have read her interviews you'll know it will be a the return of a man from her past; a "first love" story, so I can't wait!

Only Yours, is a stand alone book. However, I encourage you to read all of the Fools Gold series you won't be disappointed. Because I so believe in Fools Gold, I'm personally offering a contest for a Barnes and Noble gift card. To say more about this lovely book would ruin your reading experience. I hope you'll trust me, Only Yours had me laughing, crying and in the end sighing because Susan Mallery always gives her readers a happy ending. However, sometimes to get there, the journey can be painful. In Montana's and Simon's case painful doesn't even begin describe it!
