The One: An Unexpected Pregnancy Romance (The Halo Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 486 ratings

From USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Knight, comes book two in her heartfelt and emotional Halo series.

Life isn’t always fairy tales and rainbows …

Avery Scott is a hopeless romantic, the complete opposite of his best friend, Easton. For most of his life, he’s been searching for that someone special to spend the rest of his life with. The problem is, he’s had nothing but bad first dates with crazy women he’s met online or at his bar, Halo. When he hears about a singles cruise, his plan is to meet a lot of single women, to test the waters, but when a blonde consumes his every thought, he throws that plan overboard.

Nicole Chambers has had her fair share of heartbreaks. She’s tired of being single or dating guys with girlfriends. She wants to find
The One. So she convinces her best friend, Brooke, to go on a singles cruise with her. What she doesn’t expect is to fall head over heels with the first guy she meets.

But what happens once the cruise ends?

Life isn’t always fairy tales and rainbows … And meeting
The One doesn’t always mean finding your happily ever after.

Because life can give you a precious gift and then dangle it in front of your eyes and you’re left questioning where to go with your future—or if you even have one.

Oh Wow, what an emotional story. After reading Tattooed Dots I knew that Nicole and Avery’s story would be a good one and I was right. The story starts at the same place as Tattooed Dots, and its great how Kimberly is able to recreate the story from different character perspectives, but you don’t feel like you’re ready the same story again (if that makes sense).

Avery, is so sweet! I love him, he is a hopeless romantic that wants to find the one person that he will spend the rest of his life with. He makes you feel all warm and fuzzy with his sweet words and then he’ll make you all hot and flustered (YEOWZA) with his passion. Nicole is sick of dating losers who do nothing but lie, cheat and use her. She wants a guy to love her and only her, someone that will worship her and love her the way she deserves. Both characters are very loyal people, they stand by and support their friends and family through everything and now they both want to find the one person they can spend the rest of their lives with. When they meet on a cruise the attraction between them is instant, in only a few hours they are both wondering and hoping that they have finally found ‘The One’. Their relationship develops quickly before you know Nicole is moving to New York to be closer to Avery

Of course not everything is as easy as it would seem and the pair are hit with a horrible tragedy that really does test the strength of their connection. The tragedy hits them both hard and they both deal with it in very different ways, Avery wanting to overcome it together and Nicole believing that she is not worthy of Avery’s love and that she has let him down tries to push him away. It is a very emotional part of the book and you will find yourself wanting nothing else but to see these to find their HEA.

I loved the book and I loved that Easton and Brooke still had a huge part to play in this story the same as Avery and Nicole did in Tattooed Dots. Reading The One is exactly what I needed after reading so many darker romance novels recently I needed something a little lighter with a strong story line and yet again Kimberly has not failed me, its actually got me starting to read tattooed Dots again because I forgot how HOT east was..

This can be read as a stand alone novel but I highly recommend reading Tattooed Dots first.

The One begins right about the same place that Tattooed Dots starts, with the exception that it is told from Avery and Nicole’s points of view. The two couples meet when they all take the singles cruise to Mexico, and where Brooke and Easton’s romance didn’t start until they had returned from the cruise, Avery and Nicole’s begins right away.

Avery and Nicole’s romance is certainly a whirlwind one, from just meeting to professing their love to each other in under a week, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real. When Nicole finds out she’s pregnant, things are completely turned upside down. With Nicole in Boston and Avery in New York, they need to figure out their living situation, plus where does there relationship go from there? Avery doesn’t want to ask Nicole to marry him simply because she’s pregnant (although he does want to marry her). But when the unthinkable happens, where does their relationship go from there? Can the new, yet true love stand its first test?

The One also follows the progression of Brooke and Easton’s relationship as well during Brooke’s health scare. We get to see how they are dealing with it through a different perspective, one that is challenging enough as it is given what they are dealing with.

The story is told through both Avery and Nicole’s points of view, much along the same lines as the first book. The One can be read as a standalone, however I would highly recommend reading Tattooed Dots first, especially considering the next book in the series will be a continuation of Brooke and Easton’s story. The characters are well developed and the storyline is an emotional one. I am definitely looking forward to the release of the next book, Never Stop.

This is book number 2 in Kimberly’s Halo series. Even though book 3 is the continuation of Brooke and Easton’s story and you may be tempted to read the rest of their story before the beginning of Avery and Nicole’s story; do yourself a favor and don’t. Read them in order!! Kimberly had warned me not to read them out of order, that it would give away details from book number 2. That it did. With that piece of advice laid out, let me be tell you my thoughts on Avery and Nicole’s story...it was beautiful!

Avery is exhausted from dating bimbos and having nothing to show for his life, he is ready to settle down...he wants a wife, children, and stability. He learns of a single’s cruise and decides to purchase tickets to it with his best friend. Nicole has just been dumped again and has decided its time to try something different, and she’s bringing her best friend along with her whether Brooke has a boyfriend or not, she’s going on that cruise. The moment Avery and Nicole meet the sparks fly off the chart! They are perfect together. They are inseparable. Avery is convinced she is “The One”, they talk everyday, they get to learn about each other, and even though it’s only one week and they live hours apart from one another they make plans to continue their relationship. Once home they keep seeing each other and building their forever with one another. When the unplanned happens and Nicole becomes pregnant, they are both ecstatic, this is great news. Unplanned sure but still very much welcomed. When tragedy strikes and Nicole loses the baby and herself it’ll be up to Avery to show her she is strong enough to survive this loss....but what happens when Nicole pushes him away and leaves? Will he be strong enough to convince her to come home and help them heal together?

5.0 out of 5 stars Five not to be missed stars
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2014
Kimberly has done it again - yet another five star read for me and from the moment i picked up the book I was hooked.

Nicole and Avery were introduced to us and we first meet them and their fledgling romance on the cruise that we experienced in Tattooed Dots. But Avery "Mr Romance" himself is a man on a serious love mission and both Avery and Nicole fall at each others feet in a huge hot flurry of romance. As fast paced as their relationship becomes, it is still hot and fiery romance that will set the pages on fire or melt your kindle! Seriously, these guys have chemistry! Phew!

But as with every tale of romance and love, it never runs smoothly and you will laugh, cry, get steamy hot, maybe cry again but come though the other side smelling of roses! Nicola at times is slightly maddening but with good reason and I did sympathise with her . I was rooting all the way through for the two of them because when things are good they are great.

It was fantastic to see the other side to the story we skimmed on in Tattooed Dots and also to see the support and friendship offered to both Brooke and Easton by both of these fab characters.

I will urge anyone who has read Tattooed Dots to read The One, like, NOW! And for anyone who hasn't read Tattooed Dots ONE-CLICK IT NOW and get on with it! You are truly missing out on a fab series!

Consider yourselves told and rest assured this review comes with a full five star rating too! :)
