Chalice's Reviews > My Forever Love

The couple: Lyric and Aspen

Romance trope: second chance
Series: Winter Falls
Length: 230 pages

Plot: Aspen has finally come back to her hometown after a decade away. Her home and shop burned down and she needs a little time to wait out the insurance claim. But the new chief of police also happens to be the boy she left behind and she doesn't want to run into him all over the place. But did he do what she thinks he did? After all the years, could the reason she left him for good be a lie?

Commentary: What a weird town. And maybe I shouldn't judge, but what weird people. I think it's supposed to be some sort of ecological utopia, but it just comes off as narrow-minded hippies. In a twist of fate, the one person who left town was the one who wasn't so smart after all. And it was strange that her sisters explained what really happened with Lyric, and despite that, she was still making him explain the thing that didn't actually happen and that he didn't even know she "saw." She was a little bit of a shrew. I know that term is used in a sexist way, but in this case, i think it actually fits.

Next book in the series: Forever For You
