Description
Danni has nowhere else to run but Paradise Springs, the only real home she ever knew, and the one place that holds her heart and the past she's forgotten. But she picked the worse day to run—straight into the arms of a major hurricane and a stubborn, sullen cowboy with too many secrets.
Eleven years ago, Danni was torn away from Heath, her memory of the love they shared erased by tragedy. Now that she’s back in Paradise Springs, Heath has only one goal: avoid Danni at all costs. But when tragedy strikes again and Danni has no one else to turn to, he knows he can’t let her get hurt once more—even if helping her is a bitter reminder that what they once had is gone forever.
The Only Right Thing is a small town, sweet, second chance, forced proximity love story.

This was beautifully written right from the start, it kept me hooked and as the story unfolded I found myself more in love with the characters and wishing the story didn't end.

Después de la ruptura de su compromiso, Danni regresa a Paradise Springs, el lugar donde, en su adolescencia, fue feliz. Allí se reencontrará con Heath, el hermano de una amiga, con quien también compartió una amistad, pero es evidente que él no está contento con su regreso y hay cosas que está ocultando.

No puede ser, necesito el epílogo (si es que lo tendrá en la versión final), necesito más capítulos de ellos después de que Danni descubriera toda la verdad. No sé cómo Heath logró perdonar a esa señora.
Los capítulos de las cartas fueron un golpe al corazón, eran tan lindas y al mismo tiempo tan tristes. 💔❤️
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book follows Danni, our FMC and Bear, our MMC during a Hurricane. This book started with absolute CHAOS in the beginning and I had no idea where this story was going, but like magic it all came together! Stranded at Bears home, Danni works through the foggy memories to sort of get her life back on track after an accident that left her with a TBI. We learn, through love letters, what her life was like before. My only complaint, is that I would have liked to have known more about Danni's mother. Overall, a nice closed door romance book to read! Thank you #NetGalley and #VictoryEditing for giving me a copy of #TheOnlyRightThing to read early!

For a relatively short book this managed to hold alot of heartwarming scenes and good plot points. Our fmc and mmc were both complex yet had so much kindness in them. I liked how they were together. It felt real if a little fractured.i liked the authors use of letter throughout to tell a story we were all waiting to unfold. They had a past heartbreak together but then don't have a choice bit to spend more time together in the now..after an accident causes new bonds and possibly new memories to grow. Can they become what they were? Or maybe becoming something new will be more beautiful?

This was. Fun quick read. The romance was sweet and the plot was well spaced for a short book. And the setting is perfect for the spring time.

The Only Right Thing
by Ellie Sabine
In this captivating book, the author skillfully reveals Dani's complex past through a series of heartfelt love letters she encounters, illuminating the years that have slipped away from her memory. Despite its brief length, the story delivers an emotional experience, brimming with drama, suspense, and richly developed characters. The story kicks off with an intense burst of drama that left me eagerly guessing about its unfolding path. Overall, I found great enjoyment in this book, although I did encounter some moments, particularly at the beginning, that left me feeling a bit disoriented.

The Only Right Thing is a cozy, clean second-chance romance that delivers the right blend of slow burn, "forbidden love", and self-discovery. Though it’s a shorter read, it still packs an emotional punch.
I loved how the story unfolded between Danni and Heath! There’s just the right amount of suspense and angst to keep the pages turning. Their chemistry and shared history give the story real depth, and watching them reconnect felt both heartwarming and authentic.
Because of how short the book is, I don’t want to spoil too much, but it’s a perfect quick read when you need a cozy, heartfelt palate cleanser. If you love emotional, character-driven romances that stay clean but still tug on your heartstrings, this one’s for you!
