"From Now Until Infinity" is Layne Harper's 5 heart follow-up to her debut novel, "Falling Into Infinity." I'm always pleasantly surprised when the second novel in a series is even better than the first!Here's what I like most about Layne's writing....it feels real. The story feels real. I mean leading NFL quarterback and successful doctor might be unrealistic but some of the problems they face can be real. The story flows beautifully. I've read so many books lately that I was actually starting to get annoyed when a story felt fragmented even a little. I never feel like Layne's books jump around.Most importantly her writing is beautiful and the love between the two main characters, Colin and Caroline, is so deep and true, you ache when they ache, smile when they smile and love when they love."From Now Until Infinity" picks up exactly where "Falling Into Infinity" leaves off. Caroline has returned home from LA to continue working in her Houston based medical practice and Colin returns to Dallas to take care of a few things before joining Caroline in Houston for the weekend.Caroline is definitely in control and understands her triggers. This was a major major plus for me. Caroline is not perfect and Layne doesn't write her that way. What she does write is an imperfect person who does what she needs to do in order to get some control over her life. Seeing a therapist she deals with what dating Colin means to her life again after it was destroyed 8 years prior when they broke up."So to answer your question, what's the worst thing that could happen if I give a relationship with Colin another chance? The worst possible thing that could happen is that I completely lose who I am."The love is there, it never left. However, their situations are infinitely different now. Colin is no longer just a rookie QB. He's a brand. Caroline is now a respected surgeon seeking to get more involved in the sports medicine side of things. Both have extremely busy lives but they have decided to try at a relationship. The same drama from book 1 follows them - Sasha Stone. Sasha is not an active character but rather her very public attack on Colin and Caroline is.With the firestorm being created by Sasha, Colin and Caroline's relationship is even further tested. Forced into a media nightmare before either one of them is ready, Caroline works rationally to get Colin to understand he needs to include her in decisions, they need to work together and Colin cannot try and control her.When all the drama leads to Caroline being forced into another major decision, choosing her love and potential future with Colin or a practice and working relationship with her father, all her personal demons are in danger of returning.Will Caroline be able to hold on to her sanity while dating Colin? Will Colin be able to stop trying to "fix" everything and let Caroline in? Will each one's need for control ruin their love for one another?To find out the answers, get your copy of the Infinity Series today! Don't worry, there is just a small cliffhanger....
