Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey is a book about old heartaches, the joy of having a family who will always be one step behind you, and how true love will always find a way back to you. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book! It was just the perfect contemporary romance read that I love to find in books and I thank NetGalley and Harlequin for granting me access to review it! This book was sexy, sweet, and just fun overall! I had a blast reading some of the comments that were made between Joe, Keri, his family, and most of all... Terry! There's an inside story where Keri and Terry used to be friends but something happened to them and they ended up bitter enemies. In the end, there were plenty of laughters and tears while reading this book. It's definitely something that all fans of contemporary romance will enjoy!The romance between Joe Kowalski and Keri Daniels was both hilarious and cute. Twenty years have passed since Keri broke his heart... but there is still the same sexual tension in the air. Joe actually has hope that while on his bribe/family trip, Keri will somehow see the light and not leave him. I wasn't exactly sure if I could forgive Keri for breaking a guy's heart as sweet as Joe. Thank god she redeemed herself! There were also two other relationships that were briefly told in this book: Mike/Lisa and Terry/Evan.
For Mike and Lisa, their issue was that Lisa believed the only reason why Mike is still with her is because she was pregnant during their courtship. As for Terry and Evan, their marriage stems from the fact that Terry is always so controlling. At times during the book, I wanted to smack her for being so stubborn! They both love each other so she should try to change her attitude. Thankfully, everything was solved in the end! I was worried that Terry and Evan's relationship might not work out because she was just so heartbroken when he left her. It's definitely hard to gain someone's trust again after that.
Anyway! If you love romances where the hero and heroine are both funny, cute, and should just get together already?! This is the book for you! There were so many laugh out loud moments-- partly due to the Kowalski kids, the banter between Terry and Keri, and of course between Joe and Keri! You won't be disappointed at all!
