Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Wildfire Marketing in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

This is Forever continues the second “generation” of Ms Madison’s This is/Something So series, this time with “baby” of the Stone family, Justin. After spending time with the rest of the group, I wasn’t sure Ms Madison could top the swoon worthy heroes we’ve met in the past, but Justin is a chip off the old block and definitely learned from his father, brother, and brothers – in – law!

I enjoyed getting to know grown-up Justin here and loved that he met his leading lady, Caroline, while making efforts to make the world around him a little better. One of the characteristics I liked most about Justin was that he looked past Caroline’s situation and saw the people that she and Dylan were and knew they were special, even when life was trying to keep them down.

Caroline was a likeable character as well. One of my favorite things about her was that while she was proud and didn’t want handouts, she wasn’t too proud to let Justin give her and Dylan a hand up when they needed it.

Justin, Caroline, and Dylan together were truly fun to watch and it became even more fun once the rest of the Stone family entered the picture. Well written with a flair that is unique to Ms. Madison, this is a great book to wrap up the adventures of the younger Stones. This is technically a stand-alone, but the significant role that Justin’s siblings take in the secondary cast means that reading the This is series (at least) adds significant enjoyment to the book.

Becoming a teen mom at eighteen was not what I expected, but then again, neither was being a single parent. Still, I wouldn’t change my past because that boy is my world.



Hockey is the only thing my son seems to care about, so I work two jobs to make sure he can play. I’d do anything to make sure he doesn’t suffer because of the bad decisions his father made.

 

When he won a whole summer of hockey training, I knew in my heart he was going to have an amazing time.

 

What I wasn’t prepared for was meeting his new summer coach.

 

 

 

He was magnetic, powerful, and a player—in all forms of the word.

 

 

 

If my life had taught me anything up to this point, it was how to avoid making bad decisions, and Justin Stone was the definition of a bad decision.

 

 

 

I could never be a woman his family approved of. Even if I wished I could be.

 

 

Justin

 

Growing up as the son of a hockey God is one thing. Growing up as the brother of a second hockey God is another. I had big skates to fill, so it was a good thing I loved every second of it.

 

 

 

Summer was my off time, my time to let loose, but when they ask me to coach a hockey camp for underprivileged kids, I couldn’t say no.

 

 

 

But when she walked in holding a little boy’s hand, my heart stopped beating. Or maybe it started for the first time.

 

 

 

They were a package deal, and I knew this—wanted it more than I’ve ever wanted anything. It didn’t take long to realize that no matter what happened,

 

 

 

I would do anything to protect them.

 

 

 

She is the only one I want to be with.

 

 
When push comes to shove, I have to prove to everyone that this is my choice, and This is Forever.

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
