Absolutely LOVED!!!!Gia and Beppe's story is epic!!!Well, let me begin by saying that Teodora's first novel, In a Heartbeat, blew me away. I was so captivated by her writing style and the story was PHENOMENAL. So, how will book 2 compare to that? When I first met Beppe in IAH, I wasn't sure I would enjoy a whole story about him.*chuckles*Well, guess what?? Never underestimate a brilliant talented writer. Teodora stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the ballpark.Her amazing attention to details, her well developed characters, and the absolute genius in her plotline has you falling head over heels in Then, Now, Forever. From the prologue (and let me say, this prologue reaches in to your heart and squeezes it, making sure you are truly feeling for these characters) to the very last pages in the epilogue, each chapter leading further and further in to the lives of Gia and Beppe, you are enthralled.After this book, I really feel like Max, Stella, Gia, Beppe, and Lisa (plus a new fella that has popped up on the block) are my family. When they hurt, I hurt. When someone does them wrong...you know the motto...mess with one of the family, you deal with the WHOLE FAMILY!!!Then, Now, Forever gave everything to us. I had no idea where it was going or if things were going to work. Between the heartache and struggles all I could hope for was that HEA. Did I get it?? HA!! Like I am going to give that away....I will tell you a little more about our wonderful couple. Gia and Beppe are a people that feel, love so strongly. But, many times their feelings are worn on their sleeves and when this happens, things are interpreted wrongly and the world crumbles.Soooo, by the end of this book, what were my thoughts of Beppe? Had they changed??? Yeah...most definitely...my perception of Beppe had changed. The old saying of "Don't judge a book by its cover", well I should have listened to that. I will have to let you see how amazing he is by reading the book....Full of passion and humor, Then, Now, Forever is a suspenseful tale that will FOREVER be a part of my favorites list!!!A definite MUST READ!!![...]
