Only love can get them through the tests they never saw coming. Back together was one thing…now they must hold on to forever.




MY TAKE:

BACK FOREVER ROCKS!!!!  <pun intended>  
Karen Booth did it again!  A sequel that you will truly love to read.  Again I found myself laughing out loud and let's not forget crying like a blubbering idiot. I had to check and make sure no one was watching a couple times.  

*I will try and keep the spoilers down to a minimum, but no guarantees (insert evil laugh here)*

Christopher Penman is the man every girl dreams of marrying when they grow up.  He IS the whole package!! 
Rock star - check, 
Bad boy type- check, 
HOT AS HELL - check CHECK, 
and he loves Claire completely & unconditionally - HUGE CHECK! 
Not to mention that he is my age, so for me, that put him higher on that pedestal of man meat (yea yea I went there LOL, how could I NOT??)  

We start with the age old battle of parent versus teenager/wanna be grown up.  Sam is acting out, but in my mind not anything truly terrible, just being a brat of sorts.  However we all know sometime that is what drives us parents the craziest. But when Claire and Sam finally sit down and talk we find out that she feels lost in the shadow of the Claire and Chris love story.  Then I kinda feel sorry for her. It made me want to hug my kids and then slap them in the back of the head and say "HEY! just talk to me damnit", but of course they would have no clue why that happened LOL.

Of course we can't forget... Claire is pregnant... (I so wanted this to be in all caps, but want you to read all the way down.  Is my evil plan working?) So yes, Claire is pregnant and this time it was completely on purpose. My heart just melted at how happy Chris is.  He wants this so badly, and deserves it.

This entire story (Bring Me Back & Back Forever) is just a very sweet love story.  Of course every love story needs a wicked witch, and our Cruella de Vil, is none other than the ex-wife Elise!  Oooh I wanted to smack her face for Claire!  *deep breath* Ok I'm good now.  But in true form Claire held her ground and let Elise have it with true class.  

OK OK I'm not going to give everything away. This story has the sweetest and maybe one of the best endings I have ever read. (and I read A LOT, when life doesn't kick me in the ass that is LOL).

Confession time: I usually tend to read things that are, uhhh on the naughtier side*gasp*, but that would have been out of place in this story.  I know don't think less of me (like that is possible LOL)

Karen Booth asked me to give a completely honest review of these books, and this is it!  Truly an amazing read.  I feel lucky to have been given the opportunity to read it. She says it's the story of her heart, and I completely understand. If you are looking for that next good book, be sure you read Bring Me Back & Back Forever.  You will not be disappointed.

This is definitely deserving of a 5 star rating from me.
