A friend asked if I was interested in reading The Only One by one of her best friends.  I of course was on board after reading the synopsis.  It's right up our ally here at the blog. Hot frat guy, loin cloth, girl who falls in love but doesn't think she is good enough for the college playboy, what's not to love right?!John Boy (John Waldon) as his frat brothers at Alpha Mu call him, dons a loin cloth for a Halloween costume party.  Melanie Wilder dons her usual Hermione costume, so what if she's a huge out and proud Potter fan?!  Melanie runs into John Boy, he's definitely interested but of course she thinks its just another frat boy looking for a quick lay which she has no interest in being, no matter how delectable he looks in that covering almost nothing loin cloth.In spite of Melanie's better judgement and her carefully set up defenses, she ends up falling for John.  Unfortunately after a quick visit to the Student Health Services center to pick up condoms and get on the pill to make sure she takes all necessary steps in order to further her relationship with John.  An abnormal pap comes back and Melanie gets the news that no nineteen year old girl wants to get.John, ever the doting boyfriend, if that's even what they are since they never got the chance to label their relationship, dotes on Melanie constantly.  He takes care of her.  Even her mother and sister see the love that's obvious when he looks at her.  But Melanie believes herself to be the pity case.  She doesn't want anyone feeling sorry for her.  She wants someone who wants to be with her for who she is not what has happened to her and of course never out and out has the discussion with John about what she's feeling, until one really drunken night.  Can the truth that comes out of her mouth like "word vomit" scare John away for good or is his love for her strong enough to bring him back to her and pick up where they left off?The heat is delicious.  Their relationship is adorable and real.  The love these two have for one another is real, who knows what they are feeling at their age and what will it do to you when you finally reveal those feelings?!  I've been there.  This story appealed on so many levels.  The character development was very well done and Magan's writing is incredible.  I can't wait to read more New Adult novels by Magan Vernon.  Look for more from this talented author soon!ARC provided by Author for an Honest Review!
