Forever After (2007) - Plot & Excerpts

Um dos meus favoritos!Absolutamente terno e emotivo. Amei essa história. É sempre assim, não tem jeito, sempre quando termino um livro da Catherine Anderson eu me sinto anestesiada. Escapismo? E daí? Essa é a dádiva que a leitura nos proporciona, acreditar esse que esse mundo tem cura, que o ser humano possui qualidades inarredáveis, enfim, que o amor transforma e liberta.Aqui, Heath e Meredith estão em lados opostos. Ela é uma viúva que está fugindo com sua filha Sammy, usa peruca e lentes de contato, e não deseja em hipótese alguma ser encontrada pelo seu ex-sogro. Ele é um xerife de uma pequena cidade, um homem que encontra no seu trabalho de aplicar a lei uma forma de fugir da culpa que o assola há dezenove anos, desde quando ele ocasionou um acidente que resultou na morte de sua irmã. Como se não bastasse, esse evento doloroso causou uma ruptura na relação entre pai e filho.No entanto, quando Meredith e Sammy passam a morar na casa vizinha, entra em cena o adorável Goliath. Ele é um cão policial que está aposentado, mas o seu instinto de proteção é imenso. A relação que se estabelece entre Goliath e Sammy é espiritual, algo verdadeiramente tocante, apaixonante. Ele também é uma espécie de elo indissolúvel entre Meredith e Heath. Ele não é apenas um cachorro, mas um dos melhores amigos que alguém pode ter, fiel até o fim.O relacionamento entre Heath e Meredith demora um pouco a se estabelecer, mas como sempre ocorre nos livros dessa autora, tudo acontece no momento certo. A segunda parte tem uma narrativa cheia de revelações e suspense, vários acontecimentos irão definir o destino dos apaixonados. Heath é um personagem excepcional, ele faz coisas inacreditáveis para proteger Meredith e Sammy, sem falar que...the man was a heart-stopper ❤.No curso dos acontecimentos, o confronto entre pai e filho se mostra como um dos momentos mais dramáticos do livro. Fiquei com um aperto no peito. Mas, felizmente, não é um livro para entristecer, mas para sonhar. Mais uma vez somos levados a acreditar que podemos ser salvos e curados, e que o amor nos fortalece o suficiente para ficarmos e enfrentarmos o que vier em nossa direção. Lindo! Super recomendo para os fãs de Catherine Anderson!

4.5 starsTulajdonképpen tetszett, csak volt egy-két helyzet, amire azt mondtam, valahogy nem tudom elképzelni, túl gyors: pl. a a halálosan rettegő kislány, már az első alkalommal, amikor Heath közelébe merészkedik, és a pasi megfogja a kezét és megpörgeti, sikoltozik örömében... kb. kizárt. A csaj is, miután beadja a derekát, valahogy túl gyorsan, túl könnyen eljut az ágybéli események élvezetéig, nehéz elhinni az átált borzalmak után. A könyv ezzel együtt is jó, a kutya imádnivaló, de nem az a letehetetlen, amit többször is levennék a polcról némi újraolvasásra.

What do You think about Forever After (2007)?

I was close to giving this book 4 stars but for once I didn't like the happily ever after ending. I prefer those kind of endings but this one wasn't believable considering the heroine was running from organized crime.

I love the covers on Anderson books. They are simple but appealing. This story took a little bit before the H/h really start to like one another. Meredith Kenyon is hiding with her 4 year old daughter Sammy. Once you begin to understand what her life was like before Oregon you can see why she does not trust easily. Her daughter is scared of most everything and when a stray Rottweiler shows up at their house Merry calls her neighbor, the sheriff, to come get his beast.Heath Masters is a 38 year old bachlor and is use to receiving his share of chaotic phone calls but when he also hears the racket taking place outside he knows things have gotten out of control. Heath is such a great H once he makes up his mind what is important to him. He has lived his life upholding the law. It stems back to a tragedy that took place when he was 19 years old. He has tried to make up for an accident that his father has never forgave him for. If youv'e read CA's book before you are aware what she can deliver if you haven't she developes a beautiful relationship between H/h. It is not a simple Wham Bam thank you Maam. Silver Thaw is still my favorite so far but this one has some interesting twist with organized crime. It is not over done but borderline because Heath has a conflict with his duty and what is right but of course it is understandable with all considered. The relationship with Sammy and him is sweet and he gives her that security that every child should have.***********POSSIBLE SPOILER************One of the villains in the story is Meredith's late husband and at one point in the story she explains how he delighted in scaring her and what he chose to do it with was spiders. He hid spiders in various spots at vulnerable moments to get a charge from her fear. I was so freaked out because I too can relate to how she must have felt from the shock and frequency of his game. There is a couple love scenes and they are descriptive but tasteful. This book is free from other characters that have romantic interest in either the H/h but it is not without obstacles. Enjoy!

I randomly picked this book to read after seeing that the author was recommended by other users in the historical romance group here on goodreads. I thought it was a decent book - amusing, cute characters, etc. I def would like to go read more of her work. I just found the book on amazon.com and saw that it received not so great reviews. I guess I kind of agree with that they had to say. But with that said, it's a nice vacation, by the beach read. I am looking forward to reading some of her other books that have gotten better reviews. So if you're a huge Catherine Anderson fan, you may be disappointed. But if you're just looking for a chill, easy beach read, this, I think, could be just what you're looking for.
