After getting a chance to explore the writings of Jean Joachim with the introduction to Now and Forever: Callie's story, I found myself HAVING to buy this book!  When I read the prelude to this series I couldn't stop crying at the REAL life events that unfolded and I HAD to read the next book to find out what happened to Callie and if she is able to move forward and have a normal existence.Callie was crushed from the loss of her fiances death and after two years of barely living she is forced into moving on by all that love her.  She returned to college and worked in the office to help her with some of the college expenses.  There she met Mac, the colleges dean, and began a very slow relationship that thrived.  Mac has a son and Callie began to babysit Jason while Mac was working late.  Trying to fight their growing affection toward one another finally turns into a full on sweet romance.  The stuff that happens in "real life" and you can put yourself in her shoes.There is lust, a murder, some drugs on the college campus, more murder and a serious twist that I did NOT see coming.  I really did enjoy this story and the prequel to it....it is a very sweet story that I had to read in 1 day!!!  I couldn't put it down!
