I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review."Forever for Us" is an ideal pick for those who cherish heartwarming romance novels. Blending the enemies-to-lovers trope with the concept of a found family, "Forever for Us" weaves a romantic tale about two individuals discovering love after heartbreak and coming to terms with their past issues.

'Forever for Us' is the eighth installment in 'The Wilder Brothers' series. This book marked the start of my journey into Carrie Ann Ryan's literary universe. My only regret is not having delved into her work sooner.

This installment delivers the story of Wyatt and Ava. The two became acquainted through their respective spouses, however they never got along. Whenever they were in each other's company, heated arguments would often ensue. Then, the unimaginable occurred: their spouses had an affair with each other, which led to the severing of all ties.

While Wyatt managed to recover from the negative impacts of his divorce, Ava wasn't as fortunate. Her ex-husband left her with nothing except full custody of their daughter. She faces financial difficulties and is compelled to work in a joyless job. However, her prospects started to improve when Wyatt proposed a position as his assistant manager and bartender at the Wilder distillery and bar—an offer she accepted amidst her lingering doubts. Unbeknownst to them, this opportunity would pave the way for romance and their eventual happily ever after.

The story was truly delightful and heartwarming. Ryan masterfully portrayed the tension that evolved into steamy encounters between the protagonists. Despite their strong mutual attraction, both were cautious and uncertain about handling their burgeoning emotions. One thing was certain: they both wanted to safeguard Ava's daughter, necessitating a careful approach.

The character interactions truly made this a delightful read. Wyatt's dynamics with his siblings and Ava's daughter, Faith, were particularly enjoyable. At the age of eight, Faith's insights were remarkably profound. Both Ava and Wyatt's exes make an appearance in the story. Having met them, I believe that Ava and Wyatt are much better off without these toxic individuals, who quite frankly, deserve each other.

Overall, a delightful experience was had with "Forever for Us," and I highly recommended it to fans of romance.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
