If It's Only Love (The Boys of Jackson Harbor, #6)
Lexi Ryan
From New York Times bestseller Lexi Ryan comes a sexy new standalone romance in the bestselling Boys of Jackson Harbor series. Meet single dad Easton Connor as he leaves the NFL and returns to Jackson Harbor to fight for another chance with the love of his life. *** I don’t regret much. Not my decision to enter the NFL draft before finishing college. Not fighting custody of my daughter—even if, biologically speaking, it turns out she’s not mine. And certainly not seducing my buddy’s little sister ten years ago. But when it comes to Shayleigh Jackson, my no-regrets attitude stops there. I screwed up royally where she’s concerned. Then I made another mistake when I let her shut me out of her life. Now after more than a decade living in different time zones, I’m coming home to Jackson Harbor. My first priority is getting my daughter away from the media circus in LA, but the moment I see Shay, I know I’ll stop at nothing to win her back. So what if she won’t speak to me? So what if she’s changed? So what if she’s fallen for some douchebag professor? I’ve never gotten over her and I know she feels the same about me. I’ve let her go twice. I won’t make that mistake again. If It's Only Love and all other books in this series can be read as standalones, but you'll enjoy reading them together.

Unfortunately this series didn't wrap up on the best note for me. I enjoyed the chemistry between these characters, the family, and of course Jackson Harbor itself. And really liked the second chance romance aspect. But sadly this book some avenues that I personally didn't love
First the good - this series as a whole feels so warm and inviting. I love Jackson Harbor and returning this amazing family. I grew really attached to these characters throughout this series.
There were certain parts of this romance that totally pulled me in. Their chemistry was absolutely amazing and I loved the "past" chapters sprinkled in with all the missed chances. This was a second chance romance done just the way I like! I really believed in their connection and was pulling for them to find a way to make it work.
Now the not so good. One of my qualms with this series as a whole is it feels a little too much at times. There's so much drama tossed in and I want it pulled back slightly. And unfortunately in this books case, the "too much" point was hit with my least favorite trope of all time: surprise pregnancy. Top that with ample amounts of cheating and I just wasn't a huge fan.
So overall this was kind of a roller coaster reading experience. Some parts I really enjoyed but then others had me hard cringing... I'm glad I wrapped up this series though! And definitely still plan to check out more Lexi Ryan books in the future.
