FOREVER STARTS TONIGHT
Karla Sorensen
Release Date: September 27
Blurb:
It’s no
secret that I’ve been in love with Jax Cartwright for half my life. A terrible
decision, really, and not just because he’s my brother’s best friend or he’s
ten years older than me.
Thanks to an
overprotective family, he’s ignored me for years, but still, I can’t get his
grumpy a** out of my head. And in a wine-fueled, post-bad date funk, I make
another terrible decision: show up at his cabin to ask why he’s never given me
a chance.
The storm
that got me stuck there overnight was a total fluke, but I’m no fool. While Jax
is perfectly clear about not wanting a family or love or any of the
happily-ever-afters I’ve dreamed of, what’s the harm in asking for just one
night? The worst thing he can say is no.
He doesn’t
though, and I was saying yes, yes, yes a whole lot after that.
Best.
Decision. Ever.
One night is
enough to feel like I can move on, and we agree to let it be a secret kept safe
between us.
But you know
what makes it hard to keep a one-night secret about my not-so-secret crush?
A positive
pregnancy test.
Oh baby,
things are about to get interesting.

Since we got
that tiny tease of Poppy showing up at Jax’s at the end of the last book I've
had ideas about how this was all going to play out. Then I read the blurb for
this book and my ideas pivoted. So, I really wasn't ready for how completely
emotional this book made me.
Obviously,
we have gotten to know Poppy as the baby of the family through the previous
family members' books. And we got a little about Jax as Cameron's best friend
in his book. But getting them in their own story, from their own point of view,
had me all up in my feels for them both.
Seriously
Karla wrote both of these characters with so much depth, I literally feel like
I just lived that along with them. Poppy was such an old soul with so much
empathy and understanding for everyone around her. I wanted to stamp my feet
and yell that she was an adult for her, but she understood where they were
coming from and calmly went about showing them she was all grown up, and I
loved it.
I went into
this book kind of hating on Jax. Then I read the prologue and I just wanted to
wrap him in a hug and kick his mum. Hard. And then we slowly saw Jax unfold and
show his soft underbelly and I couldn't get enough of him. Every time he peeled
back another layer and saw himself more clearly, I wanted more.
Jax and
Poppy were perfect together. I would have liked to see more of them
together but I really did enjoy the journey. Even if it did make me cry
once or twice. The secondary characters were hilarious and I am hoping we get
more of dipshit and Sam in the next book, whoever that may be.
Since I first picked up the Washington Wolves
series I have been obsessed with Karla Sorenson’s writing. And when I started
to read the Wilder family, I soon got hit with all the characters I remembered, and
I was even more excited. And the first 2 books were so highly charged
emotionally and had me so invested for the entire story that I was dying to get
my hands on this one. And then I had to wait forever for this to be written.
So by the time I got to sit down and read this I
honestly barely remember Ian. Partially because he was away for a lot of the
previous books, but also because each of those books had me so focused on the
main characters. Then once I started reading and realised it was a friends to
lovers romance, to say my excitement level kind of lowered would be fair.
But I still read it and really enjoyed it. The
writing style was beautiful, and their friendship was awesome to watch.
Everything about them from their meeting as young kids was so sweet and easy
and seeing them become more was a natural and believable transition.
Ian and Harlow were both so likeable and I couldn’t
get enough of them. And the relationship they each had with Sage was beyond
sweet. Sage was such a perfect ten-year-old girl and absolutely added so much
to the story. The only thing was this was such a slow build to them being an
actual couple I had a few moments when I wanted to scream at them to just kiss
already. But once they did, I couldn’t put this book down.

There’s only one
course of action when your dad wants you to marry a clammy-handed wimp to make
one of his board members happy—you get yourself stuck in an elevator with a hot
stranger and have the steamiest make-out session of your life. Years of etiquette
lessons went out the window thanks to Cameron Wilder, who managed to unleash my
hidden bad girl with naught but his talented mouth and deliciously rough hands.
Afterwards, he went
back to his small-town life, and I marched home to inform my dad there would be
no business-centric nuptials. As punishment, he shipped me off to Sisters,
Oregon and demanded I turn a healthy profit on a not-so-healthy property.
You see where I’m
going with this—the buttoned-up city girl stuck in a small town hires a local
builder to help her … and he’s the hot stranger from the elevator. Turns out, I
have a weakness for the broad-shouldered nice guy who’s not so nice behind closed
doors. Keeping things professional gets harder the longer I’m in town, until
the only lesson I have left to learn is how to keep both our hearts from
getting broken.

Oh
my god. I kind of hate Karla so hard right now. I spent about a quarter of this
book either crying or trying not to cry. I don't know if we got a lot of Tim's
story in Greer's book and I've just forgotten the emotions or if it's because
time has passed or just that Cameron was closer to the situation but Jesus, it
gutted me.
I
kind of read the blurb and in my head, I was getting a cute little rom com with
a fish out of water twist. But literally nothing from Ivy was what I expected.
Her emotions were so visceral, and I felt them with her. Everything about the Wilder
family is so perfect and beautiful despite the fact that they are all flawed,
normal human beings going through this tragic event. And coming from a
background where that's foreign, I completely understood her culture shock.
Not
a single thing in this book played out like I anticipated. And I spent so much
time in my feels while reading it. But it was beautiful and touching and real,
and I couldn't put it down. I have so many hopes for the future siblings, and I
love seeing the characters I've met through earlier books. But for today I'm
going to angry wash my dishes and curse Karla's name.
