Ilustration During Books Just One Thing (Cupid Falls #2)
“Sometimes, you find yourself inadvertently in the dark. But I’d discovered that if you stopped fighting against it and just stood still, sometimes something marvelous comes along.”
Artist Lexie McCain spends her days literally weaving the story of her life into a gorgeous tapestry. But on Monday nights, she walks to the Corner Bar, drinks a Killian’s, and answers the same question every week from Sam the bartender: “One thing?” She starts with her name, then her cottage, slowly moving on to the devastating tragedies that tore her life apart.
Sam Corner’s smile doesn’t seem to hide any pain. One night, Lexie turns the tables on him, asking Sam, “One thing?” To her surprise, Sam reveals his own tragic history. Together, Lexie and Sam learn that, with good beer and a trusted friend, sharing just “one thing” might lead to the one thing they both thought was lost forever: love.
From award-winning author Holly Jacobs comes the story of heartache, hope, and the power of sharing just one thing.

Just One Thing by Holly JacobsB, Ember, no kink, contempLexie has had a terribly tough adult life. Seriously. A really hard life. Just one thing after the other. As she struggles to come back from the last thing, she starts walking to the local bar each Monday, just for one drink. She slowly starts talking to the bartender Sam. Each week he asks her to tell him "just one thing" about herself. Through these small confessions, Sam and Lexie slowly start a relationship and start to heal.ThisI'm not a big book reviewer, but I feel the need to comment on this book. While I gave it three stars, it was more of a 2.5 for me. Some things I wish others had pointed out (and maybe people have and I missed it)--(1) The cover is very cute, but its not representative of the characters in this book, in my opinion. The heroine is older (two grown children), and she talks of having grey hairs. Maybe it's nit-picky, but I tend to choose books by the cover and am disappointed when they don't match
A must readEach page was like peeling off a layer and learning more about not only Lexi but Sam as well. When I wasn't reading I found myself thinking about what would happen next. The characters are real and you feel what they are going through. I'll definitely read this one again
I really enjoyed this story. I would recommend anyone to take an afternoon and read it. I listened to it in free thirty minute periods I had over audible so it took me several days. The story was very sweet. The book is set between the past and the present and unfolds as a healing story for mainly Lexie but also a little bit for Sam, the books two main characters. Sam over a period of months creates a way for Lexie to heal from the pain of several tragic losses that she has suffered. Well worth
The synopsis sounded promising and I had somewhat high expectations for this. It was clear from the very beginning that this wasn't going to be a happy read. It wasn't as good as I was hoping it to be either. It wasn't bad, some parts resonated with me but I found it a bit shallow in general. I didn't find it cathartic which I thought/hoped it would be. And while I liked Lexie and Sam, I wasn't rooting for them and didn't really feel the romance.I had two things that bothered me. Firstly, this
4 Bittersweet Stars!Never expected the emotional journey that this book would take me on. When your heart has been shattered into a million pieces, instead of mending it all at once, it's easier to heal one piece at a time! A heartbreaking, yet lovely sweet read! And yes, it ends on a good note!About the audiobook... Beautifully narrated by Laurel Merlington! I could feel Lexie's heartache, Sam's understanding, kindness, and his own pain, through her voice.

I really loved Just One Thing, by Holly Jacobs. Its the story of a woman who is reflecting back on her life in an attempt to heal and move on, and the man she meets who not only helps her but ends up needing to do the same thing. It has heart and soul and a beautiful emotional balance coupled with a gentle, apt conclusion.I really loved Lexie. I loved seeing the bits of her life and reveling in the love she surrounded herself with. I dont want to say that I loved seeing her hurt, but there was
