Disclaimer: I read a beta version of this book for Kyra Lennon. However, the views within are my own, and aren’t influenced by getting to read the book early.
Since I first read All Of You, I’ve been a fan of Gaby and Guy, so when I heard they were getting their own book — OVER YOU — I was extremely excited.
And in true Kyra Lennon style, I was not disappointed — she more than delivered.
Guy and Gaby’s chemistry is OFF.THE.CHARTS. I’m not ashamed to admit they quickly became my favourite Oakwoodlane Couple. (Guy has also stolen the title of my favourite Kyra Lennon Book boyfriend from The Game On Series’ Bryce Warren! ;) )
The first half(-ish) of Over You is a fun, sexy summer romp, with some hilarious moments, such as a water fight! It really gives off feel-good holiday vibes.
It was also great to get glimpses of the other couples, Nova and Donavan, and of course, Shannen and Cal — especially now Shannen is expecting a baby! I’m now eagerly awaiting Nova and Donovan’s book!
And then, of course, in true Kyra fashion, comes the bombshell.
From there, the drama intensifies, and this is where Kyra always shines most. Not only are her twists and turns fantastic, but the way she writes her characters dealing with some really heavy and emotional issues never fails to resonate.
Guy and Gaby go through a lot, but it never drags the story down, and it’s impossible not to root for them and want to see them succeed as a couple.
The ending of the book is just as dramatic as you’d expect from one of Kyra’s books, and you’re left guessing if all the characters you know and love are going to get a happy ending!
All in all, another great addition to the series, and I’m excited to see where it goes next — especially after a few key developments in this book.
Plus, if Kyra wants to expand the series outside of the couples already introduced, she’s got some excellent secondary characters I’d love to see more of!
Falling for each other was easy. But will their pasts make them fall apart?
Gaby has spent years building a life she loves after her ex almost destroyed her—a life that doesn’t rely on anyone else. Dating has been nothing more than an occasional distraction, and that’s exactly how she plans to keep it. But then there’s Guy. He’s sexy, kind, and the pull between them is impossible to ignore.
After walking away from a relationship that left him feeling stifled, the last thing Guy wants is to fall into something complicated. His focus should be on renovating his new bar, not on the woman who makes him believe in happy endings again.
Just as Gaby starts to believe in something real, the ghosts of her past resurface to haunt her, leaving her struggling to commit, and when Guy’s ex drops a bombshell and reveals she wants him back, he's forced to rethink his plans.
With Gaby unsure if she can give her heart and body fully to another man and Guy refusing to be trapped in another relationship where he is the only one making compromises, they reach a stalemate that threatens to break their hearts all over again.
The past is clawing at their future, and unless they find a way to let go, they could lose the one thing they never saw coming—each other.
**
Over You is a friends to lovers small-town romance set in England (UK). It's a slow(ish) burn with elements of hurt/comfort, high heat levels, summer fun, and oodles of Kyra Lennon-style angst.
