Whew I need a cold shower after this book-E.L. Todd amped up the sex in this third installment of the Forever and Always series and I loved every page!  Do not read this review unless book one and two have been read, as this review will contain spoilers for them.Scarlet and Sean are finally together, in the same state and happy, however now they have to announce the engagement and plan a wedding.  In the first books of the series we are made aware of Scarlet's family or lack thereof.  There is no father and her mother pretty much disowned her and Ryan at an early age.  Sean however comes from the complete opposite, a well to do family, parents are still married and he has a brother (which is a whole other story).  Sean's parents know Scarlet because of the ten year friendship between them, although lots of Penelope questions arise during the visit.Scarlet is uncomfortable around Sean's mother and the constant barrage of questions about Penelope.  After the visit she decides she will not be married Sean's parents estate and that does not go over well with him. Although our couple is finally together, they do not stay in that happy place for long.I didn't realize until this book how sticky the situation is with Ryan, Janice, Sean, Scarlet and Cortland.  Sean and Janice have slept together as well as Scarlet and Cortland.  Now Sean and Scarlet are together, as well as Ryan and Janice and Cortland and Monique (who I still question at this point).  This is a recipe for disaster for these close-knit relationships.With the amount of secrets being kept, one is bound to get out and wreak havoc within the couples, which it does.  Sean and Scarlet love each other, but aren't sure if that is enough to survive.  I liked how even though there were problems, they were there when the other one needed them.  I think that showed some growth in their relationship. Sean has to deal with things on his own and in his own time, which isn't easy on Scarlet. Yes I am being vague at this point as not to give any of the story line away.This was a well written sexy as hell book, which has a cliffhanger ending that shocked me.  I can't wait for the next one.
