Forever With Me is the eight book in the series and I have been so EXCITED to read this one, I have been waiting for this book for a while now. Both the hero and the heroine have been side characters in previous books and I just couldn’t wait to pick this book up here. The families that are featured in this series are a blast but I just love these Montgomery Family, they are so fun to read and they are so close knit and I just love how well they come together at the right time and are the best support for each other.

In Forever With Me the couple that we get to see is Dominic and Alecia. Now Dominic is a newer addition to the family. We learn about him I believe in the book “Tied With Me” where we learn that when the Montgomery parents were having marriage problems, they were seperated and the father had a relationship with another woman before getting back with his wife and this is where Dominic comes in….he is the product of the “other” affair and with his mom having recently passed away he wanted to know his birth father and the family he never really had a relationship until now. At first, there was quite a bit of tension in the family because of the circumstances but now Dominic is a full fledged member of the family and is just as close to them as the other. He grew up in Italy and when he received his inheritance he decided to start his own dream vineyard near Seattle.

Alecia is the head of a event planning business, mostly dealing with weddings but ironically she doesn’t believe in happy ever afters or in true love. Alecia hasn’t had the best luck in her parents, who never appreciated or showed their love for her. They viewed her as a mistake and always shoved her to the side and she had to become self sufficient to survive. Her romantic relationships haven’t ever gone right and she feels like she isn’t deserving of love. But she loves planning events and she has grown very close to the Montgomery clan…especially the women who have become good friends. But there is one member of the family that is proving to be a challenge….Dominic Salvatore. She doesn’t trust his charming manner or his smile that gives her tingles or that sexy italian accent that weakens her resolve to reject him. But Dominic is determined to prove to Alecia he is worth taking a chance on but Alecia fears what she could have with Dominic and that she will be just a disappointment and that he will want more from her than she can give him.

Forever With Me was simply a divine romance and even though it was a bit predictable, as some books in this series tend to be….it doesn’t take away my enjoyment from this book. I have truly had a blast with the Montgomery family and I couldn’t wait for Dominic and Alecia’s book. The previous couple of books we have seen the sexual tension between these two grow so I was simply fascinated in seeing how Kristen Proby would make this work. Now the hero….is simply endearing. I pretty much loved everything about him despite the big mess he makes towards the end of the book but you understand why he reacts the way that he does.View Spoiler » I loved his italian wordings and the narrator did a great job in portraying his italian accents and charm. The heroine is so STUBBORN….I will admit that at times I just didn’t understand her resistance against Dominic or her lack of faith in love. But I did find her thinking about love and HEA understandable in some ways, she protects herself because she has been hurt so much by putting a wall around herself. But Dominic is just as stubborn as Alecia is and wants to show her that LOVE does exist and how devoted he is towards her.

Love doesn’t hurt you, tesoro. People who don’t know how to love hurt you

The way their romance develops is quite heart wrenching at times, I will admit. It wasn’t always easy to listen to this book because of the hardship that our heroine especially has to overcome and realizing her true worth and the journey she takes on. We see her overcome so many things that become her strengths and the courage she has to take certain leaps of faith to get what she deserves and demands. Its not an easy road for her, and Dominic will have to prove that he is worthy at times, but he does it and these two become stronger than ever both as individuals and as a pair.

I’ve been slowly falling for you for a long time, and I’m afraid I fell the rest of the way in love with you last night, and you’re so much more than my darling. You’re my treasure

Forever With Me was simply a divine romance that brings together the battle of true love and discovering your individual self worth and this story is the testament of courage in the search for true love and happiness!! FANTASTICALLY WRITTEN
