Forever Starts Now

This was a great and quick read for me! I really enjoyed Stefanie's no nonsense characters with the mixed in humor and sarcastic sass! it is also neat how the location is familiar if you have read her other books! Though this one was a bit different than her other books, I think I loved it more and how Stefanie's writing style is heading. I also loved the intensity and even the internal issues and hurt pasts that both characters had to work through. I loved how realistic it felt and how I could relate to these characters so much. I would definitely recommend it to all my girl friends! I received an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Ethan and Monroe’s love story in Forever Starts Now by Stefanie London, was an amazing, sizzling, emotional and humorous tale. Ms. London created a small town, with quirky residents, as background for two people who have given up on finding forever. These two are in need of a major shake-up, rediscovering their dreams, confidence, love, and a place to call home. A dying confession from his mother has Ethan Hammersmith leaving Australia to search America for a father he never knew. He has landed in Forever Falls, a small town with a shortage of single men. What Ethan didn’t count on, is his slight resemblance to Chris Hemsworth, the actor who played Thor, and the determined women chasing after him. Ethan is in luck, making a deal with the manager of the local diner, Monroe Roberts, with them both entering into a fake relationship. Then the magnetic attraction and chemistry affect Ethan and Monroe, causing them to forget that this is a fake relationship; especially when it starts to feel real. As the clues start suggesting that Ethan has finally found his birth father, he will have some difficult decisions to make. I loved Monroe. She was strong, independent, but lacked confidence in herself and her ability to leave the diner to open a bakery. Her sisters and father were her support, keeping her sane. Ethan’s quest to find his birth father led him on a wild-goose chase, but he had his reasons for doing so. His support and belief in Monroe was so romantic as was when he dressed as Thor to help her out. Ms. London wrote a fun, emotional, and sizzling romance that should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with emotions, sizzling chemistry, humor, wonderful dialogue, and charming characters giving Ethan and Monroe a chance at love and forever. I highly recommend Forever Starts Now to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Oh my heart! I am swooning so madly over Forever Starts Now by Stefanie London. It is a flirty, witty and emotional small town romance with an Aussie Thor look alike drop dead gorgeous hero with issues and a redheaded fierce heroine with more issues. I didn't know how time passed while I was reading the story.This story holds the warmth and beauty of small town romance in spades. Forever Falls is a picturesque town with quirky, nosey, kind, simple people. Monroe is such an amazing woman. Her husband cheated on her, she had to stop dreaming about own bakery and spend all the time and money on her sick father yet she has not lost the light in her soul. She is a delightful and sweet presence to anyone and her sassiness is so awesome. On the other hand, Ethan feels unmoored and lost when the biggest lie of his life was exposed. He has left everything behind for a search that only makes him feel frustrated, restless and sad. Monroe made him feel real happiness after a long time. ( ARC )
