Not Alone has everything you could ever want in a book – great supporting friends that will leave you cracking up, a hot ass hell ex-military man, a crazy stalker, a jealous ex-girlfriend, lots of romance that will leave you swooning. Not to mention several yummy sounding cookies, pies and cakes!All this good stuff comes just after you get past the first chapter where you meet Bryce, a self-serving jerk who thinks that it's ok to be abusive.After everything, Emmalynne picks up the pieces and moves forward. She’s done a great job given the emotional scars from Bryce. Emmaylnne is a successful business owner, a fantastic mother, and the perfect friend. If that’s not enough she gives back to her community 100 times over.Bring in Grady the hot as hell ex-military man who really is the total package. After being hurt while on tour and having his girlfriend send him a Dear John letter, Grady comes to help his uncle out with the bar and start over.You can feel the fireworks between Grady & Emmalynne from the start but given Emmalynne’s past Grady has to work for her in more ways than one. Not only does Grady fall in love with Emmalynne he falls in love with Tucker. Grady is seriously a single mom’s dream come true.Grady and Emmalynne’s story is not as cut and dry as it might sound but together they find that they are stronger together than apart.Amber Nation did an amazing job bringing Grady & Emmalynne’s story to life. I loved that Emmalynne was not your typical skinny woman but a woman with curves. I loved the fact that her friends were true – hide the body- type of friends. I also loved that Tucker was totally a momma’s boy. But most of all I loved the fact that Grady fought for what he wanted despite the challenges and that Emmalynn was able to move forward and let Grady in.
