What happens when two people who’ve given up on forever find it in each other…?
Single men are as scarce in Forever Falls as a vegetarian at a barbecue. That is, until Ethan Hammersmith moves in. After his fiancée gave him an ultimatum, he left Australia and never looked back. He isn’t in America to find a new girlfriend, though. He’s searching for the father he never knew. But now it’s like he has a flashing sign above his head that says “available.” Thankfully, the manager of the local diner is willing to give him cover—if only she weren’t so distractingly adorable.
Monroe Roberts, town misanthrope and divorcée, knocked “forever” permanently off her wish list ever since the love of her life skipped town with the cliché yoga instructor. And good riddance. She’s got this struggling diner to keep her busy, trying anything to boost sales…until a hot Australian strolls in and changes everything. Monroe’s restaurant is packed full of women who aren’t there to order food, unless Ethan is on the menu. This could sink her business faster than ever. So—light bulb—what if they pretend to be together?
It sounded like the perfect plan. It hilariously was not...
A delightful small town romance filled with witty banter, heartfelt connections and bouts of steamy goodness! Stefanie London has a way of creating a character that is easy to connect with and is quick to warm your heart with the ins and outs of their life. In FOREVER STARTS NOW two people from opposites realms cross paths and with a mix of snarky humor and emotional turmoil they quickly learn to lean on each other as life trudges down new and exciting roads. I loved every minute of Ethan and Monroe!
Monroe is strong-willed and easy to rely on, but she’s had just about all of the knocking down she can take in life and she needs things to go her way for a change. Turning the diner around is her last chance to keep this gem around for those who count on it.
Ethan is on a journey of self-discovery as he tries to forget the life he walked away from and lean towards finding the answers he thinks will finally make the world make sense for him.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fast paced read that will have you loving the characters quickly and will ingrain this town into your heart one character at a time throughout.
