Forever and Always: Gravel Hill Boys Book 1 Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 338 ratings

He was my first love, my first heartbreak, and the last man I expected to see sitting in a booth at my aunt’s diner.

Beau Edward Taylor. Looking hotter than ever and staring at me as if he’d seen a ghost.

I’d tried to forget him but hearing him on the radio and seeing him on the cover of every magazine in the checkout aisle made it damn near impossible.

He swore he’d never return, yet here he is. Stirring up old memories of days stealing kisses behind the barn and nights chasing falling stars. And the most painful memory of all, our last night together, in the bed of his pickup, when I thought we’d bound ourselves together forever.

That was then. Now it seems, the boy who owned my past is the man who wants my future. Wherever I go, he’s there. In the kitchen, hanging with my daddy, in the barn singing to the goats, and doing the milking. I even stumbled upon Country Music’s Sexiest Man Alive mucking out sheep stalls.

It’s getting hard to resist him. He touches me and I can barely breathe. He kisses me and sets my soul on fire.

My foolish heart is all in, but I stopped believing in fairytales six years ago. Unless I find myself a fairy godmother, I’m betting there won’t be a happily ever for this Cinderella goat farmer and a country music superstar.

FOREVER AND ALWAYS, is the first book in The Gravel Hill Boys Series, but can be read as a standalone.

    Beau and Brooklyns story is special. After falling in love in high school they were separated for 6 years for a misunderstanding before finding each other again. Beau had left the town he grew up in to try and become a music star, which he does. He had always planned to have Brooklyn join him when she left school, as she will always be his true love. Lots of twists and turns in the storyline. I stayed up till the wee hours of the night reading the book as I had to know how it ended. Looking forward to reading more books by this author.

    I love second chance rewards romances and this is a good one. Brooklyn was one of the kindest, forgiving, and most compassionate heroines I’ve read in a long time. She was precious! Beau was likable but his behavior amidst adversity disappointed me. I’m looking forward to reading Ian’s book and hope there’s one for each of the band members.

You will fall in love with these star crossed lovers as they navigate their turbulent relationship. Grit, greed, humor, determination, deception, and of course, love, this story has it all. Best of all , this book is the first in a series!! Can’t wait for the next installment!!!

    I think I had a hard time with both main characters being so wimpy. No fight in them and letting others control their lives. They didn't do it right till the end of the book. Also I would want a DNA test before taking something like that for granted. I'm not a country music fan but this is a good story and I would recommend it.

    It took me one day to read this book. It really kept my interest. I had only planned to give it a Quick Look. I got interested and couldn’t put it down.

    Karen Cimms has hit it out of the park again! Beau, country boy who made it to the big time as a musician, and Brooklynn, the sweet, hardworking, small-town love he left behind, have a chance meeting that shakes both of their half-lived lives to the core. What happens next is a chain of mysterious events, a winding road of disappointments and devotion, heartbreaking and heartwarming moments, and
    an ending that is a testament to the power of love and commitment- to their community, their family, and to each other. I'm still on an emotional high!

    I don't like to be detrimental about this story but i didn't think it was as good as the Author's previous books and didn't enjoy it as much. I didn't like the cover so that put me off Beau as well. Ian's story is up next but I'm not sure about reading his story after this.
