review 1: Arc received from the author in exchange for an honest review.Cover: 5 starsSex/Steaminess : 2 stars but it's a NA book so you don't expect much sex.Storyline : 5 starsCharacters : 5 starsOverall average : 4.25 starsPersonal rating : 5 stars.Book Pairing:- M/FDid it give me a book hangover :- YesIs this a review book or personal read :- Beta Read but it would have been a personal read anyway.Why did I read this book?I was privileged to be asked to Beta read this book and I jumped at the chance.What I liked about the book.* Beppe is so loveable. I just wanted to wrap him in a blanket and hold him.* The writing and story line flowed well and it was very easy to get lost in the book.* Although it featured characters from the first book it was a totally different story with on... morely a mild recap. This was purely Beppe and Gia instead of a constant recap of Max and Stella.What I didn't like about the book.I have already said this to the author but I felt a character which was included at the end of the book needed to be included a bit more. It seems he was just added to the story but not really included.Would I read more from this Author?Yes, I have already added the nest book to my wishlist for when it's out.Would I recommend this book?Yes. To anyone that enjoyed the first book, In A Heartbeat and to romance readers in general.
review 2: Then, Now, Forever is the most amazing sequel I have read in a long time. I mean In A Heartbeat BLEW me away but TN&F totally took my heart and ran away with it. Gia and Beppe are just trying to figure this love thing out. They have there issues from their past and they have struggled with the demons of life but the one constant they had was each other. They were there for each other and loved each other and took care of each other and that was what was most important until Beppe needed some time to heal on his own. When he decided he needed to be by himself and heal himself that broke Gia and man did I want to rip his cojones off! He hurt her Gia and she started building her wall back up and not let anyone in.Gia let Beppe into her life in every way. He was her everything and she loved him and she healed him or so she thought. So when Beppe said he needed time and space and he needed to heal on his own Gia gave him that. Yes she was devastated and heart broken but she would never do anything to hurt Beppe more than what he was feeling. So Gia placed her walls up and she kept them that way. When Beppe came back and wanted to rekindle what they had Gia is guarded. But the one thing Gia and Beppe have is their friends and they support them through all the tough times they go through. I have to say that Teodora totally took my breath away with this sequel because I saw Beppe in a different light and I wanted to reach out and hug him and take away all his pain. He did what he did for a reason and yes he and Gia still have their rough days but together they can make it through it anything. Want to know what happened to Beppe and Gia, want to know if they got back together..... well you have to read it to find out! less
