If Only You Knew: A Small Town Romance

I enjoyed every bit of this "Haven Bay" story. This is such a nicely developed story that is about Michael and Bex with some family drama to go along with it. Little Izzy stole the show though! Especially when she says “You need to tell him you’re sorry and that you love him.” Her eyes lifted to Michael’s. “Saying ‘sorry’ and ‘I love you’ always makes things better.” OMG what a wonderful and heartwarming story about second chances and finally finding happiness. I loved every bit of this story including the crazy family drama with his parents.

This gripping story draws you in and keeps you glued to the drama. After Bex's disastrous relationship ended with Wesley, she left for her home town to start afresh. Michael arrives in her hometown and becomes the principal where she teaches causing dismay for her. Unbeknownst to Michael, she left Wesley when he asked her to abort their child which she did not. No she is harboring a secret one that will change the lives of many people when it comes out in the open. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

4 star Review of If Only You Knew (Haven Bay #4) by Alexa Rivers Alexa Rivers is a relatively new author to me but what I have read I have enjoyed. I was drawn into the story that Ms. Rivers wove about single mum Bex Cane and Michael Briggston. I love stories set in small towns and single parents, so for me this was a win/win. Five years ago, Bex left behind her ex, Wesley. Imagine how shocked she is to find out that her ex’s brother turns out to be the new principal at the school where she has a part time job. What will happen when Michael learns the truth about Bex’s adorable little girl, Izzy? The writing was descriptive and I could easily imagine Haven Bay. Bex is in a state; she has no idea what Michael will do when he learns the truth and she will be even more shocked when she learns that he has had feelings for her for years. I really liked Bex, she is independent, strong, focused and determined to do the best for Izzy. Little Izzy almost stole the book away from our couple as she played miniature matchmaker and she was too cute for words. Even though they know that pursuing a relationship will bring a lot of complications the attraction that sparks between them is hard to ignore. Do they dare take a chance? What will happen when Michael’s brother comes to town? Will their blossoming relationship be over before it even has a chance to develop? One click and find out.
