Only You (The Graysons, Book 5) [Mass Market Paperback]

Francis Ray (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2, 2007

Sierra Grayson is next in line for love. If her four older brothers managed to get married off, surely Sierra can't be far behind. At least that's the outcome her matchmaking mother, Ruth, is hoping for…whether Sierra--smart, too sexy for her own good, and stubborn to a fault--wants it or not. But little does Ruth know what else fate has in store.
 
After a chance meeting billionaire real estate mogul Blade Navarone 'wins' Sierra at an auction. Both are stunned by the intense sexual attraction and fight it for different reasons. A legend in the industry, Blade is known to be ruthless and relentless--a cruel twist of fate taught him to be no other way. But can Sierra trust him to treat her as more than just another acquisition? And if Blade does allow himself to care for her, will Sierra herself be willing to give up her hard-won independence and make a lifelong investment? Or has a mother's luck run its course?

4.0 out of 5 stars I have been following the Taggert, Falcon, & Grayson series since the first day., October 31, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Only You (The Graysons, Book 5) (Mass Market Paperback)

Mrs. Ray has never let me down. "Only You" is the best. I could not pull it down and brought two extra copies for friends to read. We were calling each other on the phone sharing the story and laughing about the hero and heroine quest to love. As always Mrs. Ray did a wonderful job. I planning to buy more to share with others. Great job Mrs. Ray. Also, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates, go and read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Man of Mystery Revealed, October 2, 2007

This review is from: Only You (The Graysons, Book 5) (Mass Market Paperback)

Although, Sierra Grayson thinks she has escaped the matchmaking hand of her mother, Ruth, who has found mates for each of her four sons. Instead Sierra finds herself caught by the mysterious, no-nonsense-taking, but handsome Cherokee businessman, Blade Navarone.

Readers were introduced to the mystery man (Blade) in Dreaming of You and Ms Ray teased a bit more in Irrestiable You. Blade Navarone has now made his appearance and left his mark.

Blade "wins" ($30,000) Sierra in an auction and while having dinner, Sierra finds a way to interview as a broker for one of Blade's real estate properties, Navarone Resorts and Spas. While their attraction for one another develops, Sierra proves to be as stubborn and headstrong as Blade. But what's holding Blade back?

Appearances by the Grayson brothers, their wives as well as Taggerts and Falcons gives us an update of what's going on in their lives.

Ms Ray left us with the idea that Ruth Grayson may not be finished with her matchmaking yet, she may have set her sights on Blade's bodyguard/friends, Shane and Rio. I am hoping so.

So did Ruth have a hand in Sierra and Blade's match up? Read this wonderful story and find out.

This review is from: Only You (The Graysons, Book 5) (Mass Market Paperback)

Mrs. Ray has done it once again. If I could give this more than 5 stars I would. In Only You when met the youngest and only daughter of Mama Ruth Grayson. We also met the man that Mama Grayson has selected for her strong will child Blade Naverone. And what a match!! Sierra held her own and Blade is something else!!! They are both strong willed individuals who do not bend easily. Blade is a man with a painful past. Sierra's love for blade helps him heal. The is a wonderful story. There are also elements of suspense, action and humor. You also get to check in with the rest of the Grayson clan along with the Falcons and Taggarts. You get to meet Blade's 2 right hand men and best friends who also share a painful past and are wary of love. Perhaps Mama Ruth has something up here sleeve for them. I can't wait to see was Mrs. Ray does next with "the friends of". A great story from a author who knows how to create a story and develop characters. Job well done!
