review 1: Just exactly what I needed! A nice light read, but with a bit of substance. It was nice to read a typical romance that did not have the girl immediately declaring undying love! It was a nice change to have the heroine being the one to hesitate for a change. The development of the relationship with the main characters was very good, you learned about them as you would in a real life relationship.I definitely liked the way Ernst intertwined the lives of the characters - creating reasonable tensions and conflict. The relationship between Diane and her children was realistic, and encouraging.
review 2: “A Different Kind of Forever is the story about two complicated people finding – and trying to hold on – to love.”Diane Matthews, a divorced mother of thre... moree, is a smart, successful, and independent woman who likes the direction her life is headed. Everything she has ever wanted is finally falling into place; until a chance meeting with Michael Carlucci, a hot young musical genius behind a successful rock band. Neither can deny the growing attraction between them, but is it enough with all the demands on both of their lives to survive the test of time?Michael stole my heart right away. His introspection certainly gave his character a lot of charm. I loved his whole family and how they related. I can’t say the same thing about Diane’s character. For a woman as successful as she was in all other areas of her life, she showed too much ambivalence where Michael was concerned to be believable. It made her character weak in my eyes and she obviously wasn't. I especially liked the way she handled her teen-aged daughters when it came to her dating life.The premise of the story was interesting; with the female being the older in this May/ December romance and the conflicts and complications were realistic. I felt like too much of the story centered on the mundane in Diane’s life that could have been glossed over and still keep the integrity of the story intact. As a result, the story lagged. Adding Quinn, a man Diane thought she once loved, into the mix was a nice twist, which gave us some insight into another aspect of her dilemma. There were several peripheral characters because of the professions these two main characters were in. At times, it got difficult to keep track of them all and the frequent change of prospective confused me at times. However, I did enjoy this story.This book contains adult language and situations that may be offensive to some.There are a small number of proofing issues and at least one copy editing error that I found in this book.**Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog.
