After the conclusion of Unsuitable Men, I was very excited to find out a post script was on the way to continue Tracy and Brendan's story.  While Brendan said he was ready for Tracy, with her past actions, current issues, and all, I felt like there was still a lot of doubt on his part as to whether he could truly be with her.  That made me wonder whether or not I would find them together in this release.  I was very happy to see two years later, they were still going strong.Tracy has calmed down quite a bit.  She still wears her heart on her sleeve when it comes to Brendan but has gotten much better with processing what she's going through as opposed to flying off the handles.  And while he saw his own share of growth, Brendan didn't shy away from the challenge of helping her see what a beautiful person she was on the inside.  There was a line in the story referring to his office desk that was made of reclaimed wood from an old barn that went, "He like things like that - things with a history, things that were once something else and had been remade."  I felt like this perfectly described his pull to Tracy.  She had so much history, much of it ugly and painful, but with him (and the help of her friends and her own determination), she was remade.  I was so proud of her evolution.  If anyone deserved any peace and happiness, it would definitely be Tracy but everything isn't blue skies and rainbows.Maybe Never may be a novella but it had as many ups and downs as a full length book.  With chapters labeled "Mistake" and "Doubt" and "Reckoning," my anticipation of those ups and downs was further increased.  The characters really showed what they were made of, even Riley showing dimensions I didn't know she had.  It was a perfect follow-up to Unsuitable Men and true to form, was very real.  This cast of characters has nestled their way into my heart and I love reading about them.  As always, the writing was superb and I've come to expect nothing less than that from Nia Forrester.  She never, ever, ever, ever disappoints! I LOVED this book.
