Forever and Always is the third and most latest release….I am not sure if this is just a trilogy or if there will be more books. You never know with Leigh Greenwood. Now Forever and Always is probably my favorite book of the series…which is saying quite a bit since I couldn’t put down the previous two books. In this story we have Logan Holstock and Libby Spencer. Logan is the last of the three brothers and he has come out west to find them. Logan is dying from what his doctor tells him, and he knows he will be gone soon and must find his brothers before then. Libby Spencer, has recently become widowed when her husband was shot in his bank while a robbery was taking place. Logan saved Libby’s life. Libby takes in Logan when he become too sick, but there is something suspicious about his illness. Libby and her daughter instantly take to Logan, Libby has never known affection or care until she meets Logan. Libby will fight for him no matter the stakes that are involved.

This was quite a beautiful story and I honestly couldn’t get enough of seeing the last of the cousin and the brother get together. This had quite a mystery tone to the story as well. We see the evil workings of his ex fiancee who is only after his money and has been working to poison him, but Logan has no clue. We see her manipulations and how far they go. It was quite a unique experience to see how this aspect of the story balanced out so well with the other workings of the story. I loved seeing this and the way it came together in the end. The bond that forms between the three brothers that were seperated when they were just children, and are now reunited and having found love for themselves. I honestly wanted more of these three couples….so enchanting to see their families and their connection to each other and the way that they fight and banter for and with each other. It makes me want to read more of this author. I would highly recommend this trilogy and the audio narrative was done excellent!!

I received an eARC of the book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I requested to review this book majorly because it was a throwback to the romances I had started in my teens (you know the western romances by Judith McNaught, etc!) and how much I missed those simpler romances!
So boy was I glad that I actually found this book on NetGalley – it was so good to go back to the simpler times of romance, where the lives and the wishes of the characters are so simple that it almost feels like a vacation, considering the modern romances we read.

Logan is a man on his last mission, or so he thinks. Now that he has found out that he is dying, he wants to do everything in his power to reconnect with the only family he has left – two brothers whom he lost when he was young, and whom he knows are living happy and content. But when he finds his brothers, he finds his reason for living as well!

Sybil is a widow of a man whom she detested – and since his death has decided to let go and live her life for herself and her daughter – so when starts to fall in love with a dying man, it is hardly a bed of roses.

I loved reading this book – infact I read it in a single setting – not just because it is a romance that tugs at your heart, but because it is a kind of romance that I had forgotten I actually liked – a throwback to the simpler times and ones that made me love romances all the more.

Yet, there was still something missing, especially when I was done with the book – and that’s when I realised I had gotten so used to the over the top drama inducing angst in the modern romances, that it was with disquiet I realised that reading about a simpler romance, was a little underwhelming.
Please do not think that there is no drama or even angst in this book, there is, it’s just in an amount that I am not used to now.
