To him, I was only just Sage, Matt Nichols’ little sister. But I've worshiped Conall my whole life. My brother's best friend. My secret crush. My first and only love. Always hoping he’d really see... me.
And then, a torrent of circumstances ripped through my life. One by one, my family began to crumble. My dad's heart attack. My brother's tragic death. My mother's slipping sanity. And then Conall's abandonment. He took my heart when he left, but he gave me a reason to grow up fast, to be strong, and to live.
Now, just when things finally start looking up, he's back in Bitterroot. Standing before me, not the boy he once was, but a man. Just when I’m on the cusp of living again. Just when I’m starting to feel like I could let go of the past and be happy without him, the feelings I set aside for all those years are raging once again through my veins. My tight control is slipping. The future I've so carefully mapped out now seems so uncertain.
He’s changed, but he hasn’t. I hate him for leaving, but I love him for coming home.
But will he stay? And do I really, truly want him to after he shattered me before?

“I love you.”
“Sage,” he
whispered, “don’t do this. Don’t say that. I’m not worth it.”
“But I do,” I shook
my head defiantly. “I love you, Conall.” A drop of rain fell from the tip of
his nose to his full lips, and I pulled myself up to capture it with a clumsy,
tremulous kiss. My fingers framed his taut jaw. “I love you,” I hoarsely
begged. “Please don’t go.”
“Sage,” he warned. His hands settled at my hips, as though
to steady me… maybe even to steady himself. He didn’t pull me closer, but he
didn’t push me away either. His raging uncertainty fueled my desperation, and I
moved with him, guiding my fingers around his neck and pulling myself closer.
Molding myself against his body, I lifted my trembling lips to kiss him again.
For a moment, he stood frozen, shocked by my brazen
actions. I pulled my body against him hard, turning my head, increasing the
pressure of my lips, pushing my tongue into his mouth. Kissing him like I’d
always dreamed of doing.
He couldn’t leave me. He just couldn’t.
He was all I had left.
I had to make him stay. So I beseeched him with my kiss, my
touch, my sheer overwhelming need. I pleaded with the tears that streamed from
my eyes and mixed with the frigid raindrops. Please, Con,” I whispered.
“Please… I need you.
I love you.”
And then, as though
he was coming alive, his strong hand caught the base of my head, tangling in my
hair as he began to kiss me back.
My Review
Please Do NOT read this review if you have not read Because
of Kian
I love a book that brings out multiple emotions in me and
Always Conall did not disappoint.
So in BOK we found out that Sage had a little girl Mattie (I
love this kid) she got pregnant by her only love Conall after tragedy struck;
Conall leaves town not knowing Sage is with child.
Fast forward five years and guess who is back in town… Dun…
Dun…Dunnnnn. Yup you guessed it its Conall (I think the title gives that away
tho ;) ) so surely he will find out about Mattie right?... Right? Meh I’m not
telling you, y’all will just have to read the book to find out.
So let’s talk about the Characters.
Mattie, I freaking love this little kids fictitious face,
the way Siby has written her is adorable and beautiful. Some of the stuff this
kid comes out with had me cracking up. Love her!
Sage is my type of leading lady, she is so strong and independent
but she is not afraid to show her vulnerabilities and fears. I think what I loved
about her the most was she wasn’t a whiney, my life is s**t character. She just
dealt with everything that was thrown at her and handled it with a strong
determination.
Conall, how could you not love him? He was all strong, kind
sexy alpha male. He just melted my heart, the way he interacted with Mattie and
Sage. He is uber sexy too; the sex scenes between Conall and Sage were
seriously hot. The Bathroom scene, Instant ladyboner!
And people fear not if you are fans of Kian and Brynn because
they cameo in this book too. Heaven right? Conall and Kian in one book, stuff
dreams are made of ;)
In all seriousness though every book of Sibylla’s I have
said this is my new favourite, well Always Conall is indeed my new favourite. It
is superb from start to finish. It had me hooked from the very first word, by
the time I finished the prologue I was a blubbering mess.
I hope that you all love this book as much as I did. If I could
I would give this book 500* <3

About Sibylla Matilde
Sibylla Matilde grew up
in the mountain valleys of Southwest Montana exploring the dusty Old West gold
country on the back of a horse. She attended a two-room schoolhouse beginning
in 1st grade & had the same teacher until she changed
schools after 7th. Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered
historical romance, feeding off of work of Jude Deveraux & Lisa Kleypas.
She loves a book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the
sweet glow of new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She is a true romantic &
always has stories floating around in her head, living in a fantasyland until
she writes them down to free them.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a
Wagnarian-loving mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music that digs deep
into the psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to
her life includes many genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty
Seconds to Mars (rather obsessively, actually… but, really, how can
you NOT be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh. ) & pimps them out to all her friends
through Spotify. She also delights in Met Opera HD broadcasts at her
local movie theater & hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau
reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte. Sibylla
lives with her husband and hero who saved her from her own calamitous,
young-adult self. He makes her laugh daily, even when things are tough. He’s
proved to her that love really can heal a shattered soul. In 18 years, they
have never had a fight, although argue regularly with their two teenage kids
who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it
is a quick wit that Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there is a
reason she is a writer & not a stand-up comedian). They live a quiet life
with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers & little
yap-dogs? OK, maybe not so quiet.
