I was lucky enough to get to beta read this gem.This is the third book in the Now series. Please do not read out of order. This book is meant to conclude the stories from the first two books.***Warning: spoilers if you haven't read the first 2 books***A little recap first. In the first book, we meet Emma and Cole. Childhood friends that fall in love later on in life. We also meet Layla who is Emma's sister. Initially, Layla thought Cole would be perfect for herself not even thinking about her younger sister. At the end of the first book we get a happy ending for Emma and Cole but no so much for Emma and Layla. In the second book, we get Layla's story. Layla is a pistol but she does an about face in this book as she realizes she has to change her promiscuous ways. She meets Ben, alpha male to her alpha woman. We get to see a happy ending for Layla and Ben. And the two sisters are starting to find their way back to each other.***********Spoilers over*************In Now and Forever do we finally get to see both couples get their happily ever after?? Each couple has their own struggles as they try to make things work out. I'm not even going to hint at what the struggles are because I don't want to spoil anything for the reader. Let's just say there were roadblocks that even I didn't see coming.This was an enjoyable read on so many levels. For starters, this book had a little bit of everything. Romance, humor, mystery and drama. All the makings for a good book. Brenda has really found her way in writing a good romance (can we say steamy???). And if you liked this series you need to check out her Fire on Ice series too. Okay, shameless plug is over.Another thing I liked about this book was the multiple POV's. We get the rotating voice of all four main characters. And all four characters have a unique voice. It was seamless to go from one to the next. Brenda's writing style is easy to follow. It's easy to fall into the story and forget about anything else.****Copy provided by the fabulous Brenda Rothert in exchange for my honest opinion***
