(Not suitable for readers under 18)I really needed a mental escape. Luckily, I decided to open "This Time Forever" on my Kindle. It was just what the doctor ordered.Delaney Brannigan comes to Glebe Point for one purpose: To gather information on the father of her recently deceased cousin's son, Ben. Delaney plans on adopting Ben, but first feels obligated to confirm that his father, Blake Morrison, is indeed the abusive person her cousin had claimed him to be. When a dashing man dressed as the Lone Ranger catches her eye at the town's Halloween party and closes her evening with a passionate kiss, Delaney is stunned to learn a couple days later that her cowboy is Blake. Having no clue whose cousin she is, Blake asks her out on a date. They fall for one another hard and fast, with Delaney's deception looming over them, threatening to rob her of everything she desires.This is a well written romance that I read late into the night and finished in the morning. In other words, it is a page-turner. The engaging story and characters certainly contributed to the pleasant reading experience, as did Paris's perfect balance of description and pacing. The story isn't bogged down with irrelevant details. It flows. I really appreciated her writing style, too.There's a review titled "Sweet and Steamy," which sums up Book 1 in the Glebe Point series. The story grabs the heart; Blake and Delaney sizzle. In plain English: Recommended for a mature audience. DESERVES SIX STARS!Yes, this great love story deserves a minimum of six stars!This was my first time to read a novel by Patricia Paris. I heard it was getting rave reviews and as soon as Patricia put it on Amazon “free”, I downloaded a copy. I’m sure glad I did!My favorite romance novelist is Dorothy Garlock. Patricia has written this story with the same quality, excitement and finesse of Garlock.There aren’t any characters in this wonderful story, I dislike like. You will quickly fall in love with them all. You’ll find yourself continually hoping Delaney and Blake will stop pretending they aren’t in love with one another and stop bickering. Is their mutual love for a child going to be enough to bring them together forever? Well, you must read this true love story and find out.I will definitely be reading the sequel: Letters to Gabriella.Rebecca Scarberry
