I enjoyed this romantic story so much I had trouble putting it down. The speed at which the romance proceeded and the healing process was a little too good to be true,but following it gave you a warm, loving feeling inside. A good feel good romance.

"This Time Forever" was a lovely romantic story about Delaney, a women who is the guardian of a small boy named Ben, who she adores like a devoted mother and Blake, the boy's natural father who had just recently learned of the boy's existence but very much wants to be a major part of his son's life when he finds him. Delaney came to Blake's very small town in Maryland, where Blake owns a construction business, from her home in New York, where she owns a catering firm, for the purpose of learning for herself just what type of man Blake is. She had been told frightening stories of how dangerous and mean Blake was by her cousin, who was Ben's natural mother who had died while staying with Delaney. Delaney really expected Blake to be a man she wouldn't trust with Ben so she was just tying up a loose end before she went ahead and adopted Ben. She is both surprised and disturbed when she learns that not only would Blake make a wonderful father, she is extremely attracted to Blake and that "lust at first sight" is returned.

Patricia did a wonderful job of developing the characters' personalities and the different relationships with their sometimes complicated interactions. The imagery was exceptionally well done; the brilliant and vivid descriptions created a reality that fully gripped my emotions so that I really felt like I was part of the story. I especially liked the dialogues as they were engaging, authentic, and a lot of fun to read. I was really rooting for Delaney and Blake to work things out because when Blake learned that Delaney had been keeping Ben a secret from him, he really blew up! I was so glad that there was a HEA ending. I enjoyed reading this sweet story very much and I've already bought the next book. I definitely recommend reading it to anyone who likes romance novels.

Just a wonderful story.  Moves very quickly.  Romantic but not that mushy, gushy stuff.  All the characters are realistic.  HIGHLY recommended.

I really enjoyed this story!1 It was romantic and down to earth,  highlighting the problems family interference can cause in new relationships.  Plus, how the episodes of the past can overwhelm and haunt a person.  We all have our own emotional baggage, and this story shows how sharing our problems,  can ease the pain we feel.
As I have said, a very good story.
I have to advise that I was given a copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review. I have voluntarily submitted this review.

I read this story a few months ago, and just read it again. It is such a sweet and romantic story...very well written and super funny. All the Spindle Cove stories are wonderful, and after reading A Night to Surrender, I wanted to revisit this story. I'm going to re-read the others stories as well. They are all wonderfully romantic, funny and sexy, but this one is possibly the best. You won't be disappointed! Tessa Dare rocks!!!!!!!!

This story was far better than I expected when I began reading this IR romantic story. Keisha's husband asked her for divorce. She had just given birth to their daughter,who was not quite 3 months. The most amazing fact was that her husband had slept with the nanny. And by the way the nanny was Keisha's cousin. Through the story readers will discover that James was a dog. After their son started to act out, the art teacher would come to the rescue. The art teacher was an old classmate and kid who'd been bullied by her ex and his crones. Kyler used to be a slub and human punching bag. His look now was a far cry from the kid of old. Over the story Kyler, Keisha and the kids became inseparable. The ancillary characters include a pro football player, a gay friend and various others. Each made the story work. The pieces was a great read. The story does not beat the readers over the head about the couples race differences. The story focused more on the children, loving them, and blending a family together filled with love.

This story is humorous,romantic,and so human.  In fact it has just about everything for an excellent read.  I loved how Louise Miller used cooking descriptions, making me hungry.  It's a sweet, romantic story without being cloying.  I recommend it highly.

This book held my interest from the beginning and continued to do so 'til the very end.  It was so romantic. The hero's wedding vows were beautiful.  The heroine and hero were so strong, caring and lovable.  Yet, they had their faults--which kept them real.  This was truly a highland romance story.  I give this book a 5-star rating.

This was such a wonderful romance story. I totally loved it from beginning to end. Much more than 'Outlander' even. That is how good the plot was.
So time travel seems silly. But that made this story good. The historical aspects of this story were very nice and it made me look up more. I wanted to know about the historical figures this book had in it. The characters were good.
I would easily read any story by Woodbury again and again. She is a riveting writer.

Wonderful and great story. The characters were lovable. A very sweet story. An alpha male and sweet innocent girl story.
