Forever Never
From the New York Times bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over is a standalone slow-burn romance.

When free-spirited artist Remi Ford is forced back to the wintry heart of Mackinac Island, she's ready to disappear--until she collides with Brick Callan, the town's brooding protector and the one man she swore she'd never trust again.
Brick's always been the rule-breaker with a loyal heart, but Remi is his greatest exception and his greatest risk. As the snow falls and secrets unravel, their old grudges transform into a connection neither can deny.
Don't miss your chance to escape to Mackinac Island--where the past is never far behind, love burns brightest in the snow, and every happily ever after is hard-won.

The first half of the book had me not wanting to put it down! I was drawn in from the very beginning and the mystery of Remi's Chicago life provided me with just enough suspense/thrill to keep me engaged. If you would've asked me on page 300 what my rating would be, I would've told you 5 (or 10) stars. However, the last 200 pages fell slightly flat for me, even though it was still enjoyable.
Highlights:
- Remi's overall character was very enjoyable to read. There were some moments where I rolled my eyes at her dialogue, but she's a force to be reckoned with. She's unapologetically herself, and I love that!
- Brick pages 100-350. He was gruff, full of tension, and obsessed with Remi Ford. His character fell a little short for me towards the end. I felt like he only ever thought about having sex with Remi and possessing her, it was just annoying to read at times.
- The conflict with Camille and Warren. I thought this added a really nice element to the story and honestly made me keep reading. I just wanted to find out what happened!
Lowlights:
- Many would disagree, but I almost felt like there were too many sex scenes. I know, I KNOW. We don't even get our first one until about halfway through, but the second half was constant.
- A lot of the side characters were so obsessed with Remi and how different she is. It got on my nerves.
- I wish it was a little more fast paced. It shouldn't have been 500+ pages.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read! I lowlights that I had are what brought my rating down, but I would still recommend it to fans of romance with heavy drama/suspense.
