Synopsis

 

Have you heard the one about the workaholic who decides she deserves a night of fun with a sexy stranger? It’s supposed to be a short story. Except one night of fun changes everything.

Owning and operating a bed and breakfast doesn’t leave me much time for men. Especially not men who aren’t from Winter Falls. Out-of-towners can’t be trusted. Trust me. I have the scars to prove it.

Then Cole Hawkins saunters into the Inn on Main. One look at him and I light my rulebook about men and out-of-towners on fire before hurling it out the window.

After Cole leaves town unexpectedly, I’m hell-bent on forgetting him and his adorable dimple until I discover our one night of passion has lasting consequences of the baby variety.

When Cole returns to Winter Falls and discovers I’m pregnant, he starts pushing for us to become a couple. Not so fast. Just because he’s the father of my baby doesn’t mean he’s suddenly trustworthy.

Can Cole convince me to give him a chance at forever or will our encounter always remain Just For Tonight?

 

This small-town romantic comedy features a woman who defines the word stubborn, a man who’s not giving up on her and their baby not matter how stubborn she is, a not planned but most welcome pregnancy, a gaggle of sisters who want to try their hands at matchmaking, and a whole town full of hippies who think being called a busybody is a compliment.  

Just For Forever is a standalone novel in the Winter Falls series.

Review

 

It’s time for Ellery’s story! She got knocked up when a prophylactic failed during her one-night stand with Cole, a visiting architect. However, they are both bowled over with each other but it takes quite some time for them both to figure it out or at least admit it to themselves and one another.

The first seven chapters are a flashback to Aspen’s story (book one) and how Ellery met Cole and how she ended up pregnant which we discovered at the end of book two. I had to smile when Cole assumed that she was the maid for the inn and not the owner. He was a bit of a chauvinist but it came back to get him when he discovered the truth. I had to chuckle at Ellery’s naivety that she thought she could keep her pregnancy a secret from the town of Winter Falls. She should know better.

Ellery has some baggage from a college relationship gone south and that impacts how she looks at Cole. It takes a lot for him to work through her demons so that they can end up with a HEA.

The characters always make me laugh and this town is just nuts. But I love it all the same.

We give this book 5 paws up and look forward to Juniper and Maverick’s story and then we will get to see Lilac’s story which intrigues me the most because she is so different from her sisters.
