Forever for Us

I always love reading a well written enemies to lovers romance. Ms. Ryan absolutely did it well! I loved Ava and Wyatt’s story. These two have been hurt by those they never would have thought would break their hearts. They have been played by their spouses with the other. A double whammy. A double loss. A double sense of betrayal. I admired Ava so much. Trying her best to raise her eight year old daughter, Faith, as a single mom. She’s working herself to the bone. But life is still handing her knock down after knock down. Wyatt is broken in spirit and soul. His heartbreak is saddening. But he encounters a situation with Ava and he witnesses what the devastation of divorce has done to her. While he was never really a fan of Ava’s he offers her a job at the Wilder Retreat. I loved how their relationship grew and developed. I loved how Wyatt would try and anticipate the needs and wants of both Ava and Faith. I loved the trust that they formed with each other. It just warmed my heart. But nothing good comes easily. The past comes back to their present. And things go awry. The drama and suspense had me on edge. I was gripped and invested with these two and was flipping the pages as fast as I could read. I love the Wider Brothers and the women they fall for. And Forever for Us was a fantastic addition. **4.5 stars**

When a vivacious eight year old brings together this couple whose exes left them for each other (yeah, that’s a mouth full), is the enemy of my enemy my friend? Wyatt remembers the adorable little girl daughter of his former best friend and Faith remembers Uncle Wyatt. Ava may think the chance meeting is a horrible embarrassment but Wyatt’s offer could be her saving grace. Love the storytelling in this multifaceted tale. The chemistry jumps off the page and little Faith threatens to steal the show. Great read.

Down on her luck, single mom, Ava London, runs into her exes former best friend at a time when her luck can’t get any worse-as she’s getting fired. Wyatt Wilder feeling both responsible and in need of his own help, offers Ava an open position at the Wilder bar/distillery. Everyone in their circle sees the underlying chemistry these two have and tease the “trying to be friendly friends” about being enemies to more. The couple have multiple trials and tribulations, including dealing with exes for both, divorces, being cognizant of a child that has been hurt by her parent, and trying to be stronger versions of themselves after having left a cheating relationship. This story has secret rendezvous and the “will they” or “won’t the” happening for a lot of the storyline. The other Wilder storylines are woven through for continuation. Wyatt and Ava are great characters, but I didn’t like this Wilder storyline as much as others.

I love being back in The Wilder Brothers series and this time it’s an emotional romance story. Ava and Wyatt are connected by a heartbreaking past. When they reconnect it’s at her lowest, but when he makes her an offer she can’t refuse it brings an unexpected complication they didn’t expect. What happens next was a heartwarming romance that didn’t not disappoint. I love how the characters chemistry heats up as they finally stop fighting their connection. Drama, heartbreak and an unexpected romance I’m ace brings the storyline to life with a HEA. This was an enjoyable add To the series.

So adorably satisfying! Carrie Ann Ryan always steals my heart with her hunky Wilder men, but this time it was the precocious kiddo in the story that melted my heart the most. Don’t get me wrong, Wyatt is all that and a bag of chips, but the connection Ava’s daughter had in the storyline was a real heartstring puller. I loved Wyatt and his ability to put his issues on the back burner while he stepped in to help when it was really needed. The character’s back stories are developed enough to satisfy the reader while still leaving a little mystery there, the plot was fast paced and held my attention and the little twist was a nice touch to give us that little oomph of a shocker. I loved every minute of Wyatt, Ava and Faith’s story! I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves to see a close knit family who are all coming together to forge family run businesses side by side while each sibling and then cousin finds healing in their new surrounding and finds their forever love. Highly emotional and heartwarming with lots of spice, laughter and love!
