sara reads romance

She was the first rule I ever broke.
She’ll be the last.

In the beginning, there was Savannah Shaw.
Teasing me with a mischievous, merciless grin by day.
Crawling through my window with tear-stained cheeks by night. I was ordered to avoid her.
Lectured on her misdeeds.
Forbidden from seeing her.
But my need to protect her was innate.
So natural I never questioned it.
So visceral I couldn’t fight it. She was the first rule I ever broke, and it’s why I lost her the first time. Now, out of nowhere, there is Sav Loveless.
World famous frontwoman for The Hometown Heartless,
Hollywood’s newest up-and-coming film star,
and my daughter’s idol. Her reputation for trouble precedes her,
but the celebrity who sets foot in my small town is no longer a girl in need of protection.
She’s a woman who has saved herself,
and this time, it’s my life that’s falling apart. Maintaining the distance between us is imperative,
but everything about her pulls at every part of me.
My need to touch her clouds my logic.
My need to have her, to own her, to love her.

She’ll be the last rule I ever break,
but this time, it will be to keep her.

**** Between Never and Forever is an angsty and spicy standalone contemporary romance.
It follows rockstar, single father, small town, and second chance tropes, and has a guaranteed HEA.

My Gods. To think I couldn’t love this book even more was very unrealistic of me because, WOW! Levi and Savannah are probably two of my all-time favorite main characters ever. Everything about my initial review still holds true. This book was unputdownloadable especially while listening to it on audio. Narrated in duet by Angelinca Rocca & Jacob Morgan, these two did such a fantastic job bringing both of these characters to life. I honestly don’t think I could’ve imagined any other narrators voicing these two. 

My Original Review:

I received an E-ARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

She’s done it again. Brit Benson really knows how to take you on one hell of a journey! Ever since she announced this book, I knew it was going to be one of my most anticipated reads for this year. And she didn’t disappoint. This book had me hooked almost from the very beginning. Levi and Savannah’s chemistry, friendship, and journey is heartbreakingly beautiful. I absolutely love these two together. They both go through so much from beginning to end and I loved seeing the growth that they go through. Both have a lot of trauma that they have to deal with, but with a lot of help they learn to overcome those dramas. I have to say that Levi is a phenomenal dirty talker and an absolute Daddy, so that obviously means I love him. Savannah is so relatable. Even if you haven’t gone through what she has, which has been some pretty intense stuff, it was incredibly easy for me to identify with her. And finally Brynn, I loved her so much. Not only did I adore the relationship she has with her dad, but also the relationship that she has with Savannah is so genuine and sweet. She’s such a cute and smart kid. 

You should absolutely pick this up! I highly, highly recommend it .This book definitely had me feeling all of the emotions. It’s definitely one hell of a roller coaster ride, but so worth it in the end. I thought putting this review together was extremely difficult, because no matter what I say about this book it will never compare to the way it made me feel. This is another top read for 2023!

About the Author:

Brit Benson writes real, relatable romance novels that depict epic love. She likes outspoken, independent heroines, dirty-talking, love-struck heroes, and plots that tug on every emotion. 

Brit would almost always rather be reading or writing. When she’s not dreaming up her next swoony book boyfriend and fierce book bestie, she’s getting lost in someone else’s fictional world. When she’s not doing that, she’s probably marathoning a Netflix series or wandering aimlessly up and down the aisles in Homegoods, sniffing candles, and touching things she’ll never buy.

Brit currently resides somewhere near the Blue Ridge Parkway with her husband, daughters, dogs, and an obscene number of books.
