Never say never are famous last words we have all heard and used through the years. In the end we have all gotten the opportunity to eat our words as our never become a definite forever.In the new read from author Aimèe Duffy the never word is exactly the word Chloe and Sander live by. Chloe because she has been used and hurt before and is not planning on going down that road again, and Sander because he has a secret hidden that will send any woman dreaming of happy ever after running. But when the two are brought together with a uncontrollable passion they both learn the true meaning of never say never.The character of Chloe was in the start a very weak one, yes she works hard to help take care of her mother and I did feel sympathy that she has had a hard time in the relationship department and now has to really work double hard to get to the top and at the same time juggle her ill mother.But because she had been hurt before I was actually thinking she would be just a bit stronger in fighting off the 'evil' of the celebrity world.  But of course the title of this book is Never say Never and I liked that the author lets Chloe take a chance, but yes would have liked to see her as a bit more of a stronger heroine. The author did at a later stage bring the character out of her almost 'go with the flow 'state and into full fighting for what she wants mode, and was the moment the I was shouting "YES, very nicely done Aimèe"!The character of Sander was a real charmer ladies, the type of celebrity that actually has a heart, not that all celebrities are heartless, but we do get those even in real life that simply only do everything for themselves and the status it can bring them.Sander however was what I call a nice young man, no wait that one is a lie a very hot delicious man, who has made it big but has not lost his compassion. I did feel sorry for him and his big secret however when the secret it revealed I could not help finding myself torn between calling the man a stupid idiot for not seeing that the Chloe will accept it and going into full "Oh shame poor man" mode.I did love that the author showed that both characters are the light in the darkness that the both of them needs to get up and build a real life.The backdrop settings ranged from nice and cosy to comforting and exciting, all nicely matched up with the scenes playing out. The dialogue was great the author gave me the emotion from the characters that I needed, from heartbreaking to revealing and confrontational.The author did once again give me as reader her great emotional charged characters that were able to pack a punch in the touching my heartstrings department and at the same time leave me with a powerful message of never say never for you don't know what the future will bring are words to live by.The sexual content in this read was not of the full on erotica kind nor the sweet and caring only kind but a rather a combination of the two, so if your more into the full on hot and heavy page after page of wild sex this read is not for you. But if you like a little wild and crazy sex combined with a sensually explosive glow and your a reader who likes romance combined with the world of celebrities, this will be a great afternoon read.4/5 star review" Together they discover the forever hidden in never"
