Complimentary copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.Forever Your Heart is the third book in the Beside Your Heart series and hands down, the best of the lot! Forever Your Heart is told from Adam’s POV, however it is not simply a rehash of the story we’ve heard up until now. There are some snippets of flashbacks to Adam and Nicki’s youth, however it is primarily set in the present (or 2008, as the case may be).There are some scenes that are revisits from the last book, Disclosure of the Heart, but with the addition of Adam’s POV, we really see a complete picture. We had gotten a sense of the depth of love Nicki has/had for Adam, and now we see that it is completely reciprocated. Adam is charming and downright swoon-worthy. His continued banter with David just makes him even more delicious because I love a man with a cheeky sense of humor.I really like this series because while it started off as an NA series, with Adam & Nicki in high school, it evolved into a contemporary series, with characters about the same age that I am, so I felt as though I could really relate to them. Especially in the present day, the angst of the NA novel isn’t there and the concerns that they have about a relationship going forward are based in reality, where they should be. They no longer have the high school notion that it is “us against the world”, they understand that there are real life repercussions when it comes to both of their careers and I appreciate that. The starry-eyed love is left in the past where it belongs, thus making their love story, and the storyline itself, all the more believable, while still preserving that connection they have to their past.Forever Your Heart was a five star read from cover to cover. Ms. Whitney has further developed the characters into people I feel as though I care about, and not just the main characters, either. I’m excited to hear that David, Adam’s cousin, will be getting a story of his own, as he really brought a larger than life personality to the series, and once again helped Adam & Nicki understand that they belong together. I’m definitely on board for another book, I love Ms. Whitney’s brand of intelligent romance!
