Release Day Review: 5 stars for Always You (Adair Family #3) by Samantha Young

 

 Always You by Samantha Young is now live!

Arrochar Adair has loved her brother's ex-bodyguard and best friend, Mac Galbraith, for years. Once upon a time, she was too young for him, but now that she's a mature woman in her thirties, Arro can see no issue with their difference in age. Yet something deeper, a problem much more difficult to surmount, is keeping them apart.

Mac Galbraith remembers clearly the night Arro became everything to him, no longer just his best friend and boss's younger sister. However, having made many mistakes over the years, there is one mistake Mac is determined not to make: to believe that he is worthy of Arrochar Adair. Allowing them to grow closer during his daughter, Robyn's, return has proven his undoing. And when Arro forces the subject of their relationship, his response pushes her away. He just never meant for it to destroy them completely.

Devastated by Mac's final rejection, Arro is determined to move on without him in her life, though he seems intent on staying put. And when the Adair family face a new threat, one that may have ties to Mac's past, Arro can't seem to be rid of the man. In fact, Mac will do anything to protect her.

But with so much hurt between them, will Arro let Mac close enough to guard her from their enemy... before it's too late?

What I thought about Always You

 

I've been waiting for this story having read the first two books in this series. Arrochar and Mac both love each other and each has their own reason for not sorting things out and putting them to rights.  It's going to take a something major to make these two see the light.

I like a slow-burn / best friends younger sister story with a side of age-gap and this has elements of all of these plus a bit of a mystery /revenge/ romantic suspense thing going on.  And Mac is going to have to do quite a bit to earn Arro's trust again -- he crushed her.

It's all beautifully written with just the right amount of everything for me.  I loved revisiting this family and reading this story between these characters that I had met in previous books.  I think that made this story much richer for having that background.  I don't generally like when a novel jumps back and forth along the timeline, but in this case it really worked for me to fill in some of the unknowns.

I really have enjoyed this series, especially because of the characters.. It's easy to want them to  to get their HEA, and I'm hoping there will be more stories to tell in the Adair family.
