The Book: This Time Forever

The Author: Patricia Paris

The Story: Delaney Brannigan and Blake Morrison met at the Cedar Cove annual costume dance, known only to each other as the leopard and the cowboy

But, as Delaney soon discovers, the cowboy she’d thought had ridden off into the sunset, never to tempt her again, is none other than the man she came to Cedar Cove to find and discredit – the man she’s falling hopelessly in love with.

Review: “Well, I’m not one for romance, but This Time Forever was a very delightful surprise! Took it on vacation and finished it in two days.

“The characters, Blake and Delaney are well developed and believable. And the love scenes. . .nothing erotic, just wholesome foreplay that is fresh and genuine.

“Can’t wait to read A Murderous Game. Take a bow, Patricia!”

Review: “I love this book. The characters and their story pulled me in at the turn of the first page.

“I am not typically a reader of romance, but decided to buy this book on the recommendation of a friend. I loved Delaney and Blake’s story. The characters were well developed and drew me in.

“I find myself missing them now that I have finished the book. This book has a depth to the story that I have not found in the typical romance novel.

“I am anxiously awaiting another book by this author. More please.”

Review: “Set in a cozy New England town, this story serves up all the qualities of a good read. Delaney comes to the quiet coastal community claiming to be on a culinary mission, but she’s actually searching Blake’s heart for answers on the behalf of another.

“When Blake meets Delaney, it seems like “such a perfect fit. Like a piece the piece that fit his in an intricate puzzle”. Little does he know that the beautiful, red-haired Delaney has come to his hometown to undo what he searches for. Romantic interest turns to turmoil when Delaney’s motives are revealed. In the end, only one thing can bring the two back together.

This Time Forever has all the ingredients of a classic romance. It is a beautifully written romance with the perfect touch of spice. Readers are certain to fall in love with Delaney and Blake the moment they meet them.”

Review: “This is without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read. The very descriptive beginning starts a journey through a couple of young peoples early understanding of caring respect for another human being they did not even know.
