My first one-night stand since my messy divorce was perfect. I drove to a bar an hour away from the small town I now call home.
I should’ve driven two hours because Mr. Perfect is actually Officer Matt Turner, and he’s my school's new Resource Officer.
Matt has no interest in a relationship, thanks to his parents, and that’s fine with me. I’m busy raising my two girls by myself.
But when he steps in to help us when we really need it, I’m tempted to give him more than just one night.
I’ve been burnt by the promise of forever before, but I want to believe it’s different for us.

A few weeks ago I received a sign up for an ARC of ‘Forever Us’ by Jennifer J. Williams. Although I never read a book by this author before, I loved the sounds of this read and signed up shortly after. Luckily enough, I got approved for an ARC and started reading soon after. Although this is book five in the Forever series, this book can be read as a standalone. And since it was my first book by the author, I can definitely say I didn’t feel like I missed any important information from previous books.

In ‘Forever Us’ we meet single mom Victoria. After a horrible marriage to a horrible guy she ends up with her two girls working her butt off to make ends meet. Although she is at times sad and very tired, her new house and community make everything better. The last thing she expected is to find out her one-night stand, the only one she ever had, is working with her.

Although they had only one night together, both Victoria and Matt soon realize that night was a lot more than just a single night. They have this amazing chemistry between them, and they can’t seem to stay away from each other. Especially when Matt feels so protective of Victoria and her two girls, and all he wants to do is take care of her.

‘Forever Us’ was definitely a fun read. I enjoyed getting to know Victoria and I truly loved her. She was so hardworking and determined to make her girls life better. I loved her determination. And reading about how Victoria was treated by her ex made me want to castrate him. Boy what a horrible guy!

The romance between Victoria and Matt was sweet and I enjoyed reading about them a lot. Some moments between Matt and Victoria’s friends felt a bit odd, but it didn’t bother me to much. It definitely made me curious about reading the other books in this series. And there where plenty of steamy moments.

One major disappointment for me was the ending and the epilogue. The ending felt very sudden, and I felt like it just ended right in the middle of things. And then the epilogue.. I’m not going to tell you what was wrong with it, because it would be a spoiler, but it was just so wrong.

Overall ‘Forever Us’ was a fun read with a lot of fun stuff. Although the epilogue didn’t work for  me at all, I still find myself curious about the other books in this series.
