Your Forever Love

Not strong.

Full review:
So, I thought about this a fairly long time. It followed the premises of the other books a lot, so why did I dislike it so much? Well, the characters were indistinguishable as individuals. Secondly the “conflict” was about the same as the “conflict” in the first book, just with a daughter thrown in. Weird. I thought the characters, upon their creation, had the potential to be great. Pippa, Eric, and Julie all started with strong voices that I wanted to hear more from them but then the story unraveled to just a regular romance novel with the Mary Sue character and the typical “alpha hunk” lead. To put it simply: boring.

I got my start on romance novels YEARS ago through Nora Roberts. One thing she does right is that when she creates a series based on brothers, friends, sisters, etc. they all have DISTINCLY different personalities that effect the way they interact with their romantic partners (shoutout to Blood Brothers–Fox, Gage, and whats his name–might reread actually now that I'm thinking about it. In this series you had the serious quiet one, the pretty boy, and the rough around the edges one).

Not only did Eric's personality meld into a mix of every-other-hero-in-romance-novel but he also melded into Sebastian/Logan. I'm ranting, so I'm going to wrap this up soon but I will give you some examples.

-The “spoiling” of the romantic partner (how is it done? foot massages, favorite breakfast pastries delivered—hi Nadine and logan oh jk this isn't them?? oh–this author really couldn't think of another method??)
-The overly protective thing (again, how is it done? driving/picking the girl up from the club etc.)
-Apologizing combined with a proposal (do not recommend for real life, ladies, do not do that).

I don't know, sometimes when I read too many romance novels back to back I just get disturbed that women are writing these things for other women. A proposal right after a fight is NOT what you should expect NOR desire. I will say, though, that I really enjoyed the first two books and would probably recommend them but only because the characters were so strong and memorable. Really dropped the ball on this one.
