This was my first read by Patricia Paris and I will definitely be looking out for more in the future! This Time Forever follows the story of a father who's looking for a child he never knew he had. Although the beginning was a bit slow, it laid the groundwork for what was to come. I really enjoyed the writing style and gradually learning more about the characters. Overall it was very well written, and I even shed a tear while reading. Looking forward to reading more by this author!

I really enjoyed Delaney and Blake's story. Although I felt it a little slow to start, once you get a couple chapters in, the story picks up fairly quickly. It really sparked my interest. I will definitely will be looking for Glebe Point as well as Patricia Paris books in the future.
Thank you Patricia Paris, BHC Press and NetGalley for allowing me an advance copy for my honest feedback.

This Time Forever by Patricia Paris is the 1st book in the Glebe Point Cay series, and my first book by this author. Delaney Brannigan and Blake Morrisson meet at the Glebe Point annual costume dance, and are immediately attracted to each other. Blake recently learned that he is a father and is determined to find his son. Delaney is in town to investigate the father of her cousin's child after her cousin dies unexpectedly. This was a very enjoyable book. I enjoyed seeing how the different threads tied together and how the dynamics between the characters played out. I recommend this book if you enjoy romances.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This was the first time I had read a book by this author.
The story follows Blake who at the beginning of the book finds out that he has fathered a child and he starts the journey to find his child and the child's mother. The other string of the story follows Delaney who is caring for her cousin's son and goes to Glebe Point to try and find out more about him.
They meet at the local annual fancy costume dance and sparks fly, although Blake has no idea who she is. It is not long after that Black discovers that the "leopard" he met at the dance is Delaney and after a night together caused by a road incident ,she flees back to New York having uncovered nothing sinister about him. Blake has been left unsure of what happened between them to prompt her quick exit without telling him but it is not long before she is back to tell him the real reason she came to Glebe Point.
Blake meanwhile finds out that his son is alive and well and a PI comes to his home at the same time as Delaney is there waiting to reveal her secret. As the PI reveals his findings it becomes clear to Blake that Delaney has not been truthful with him, in fact he is certain that she used him for her own enjoyment. For Delaney her life has been upturned and her dreams of a happy future are in tatters.
As the book moves to its conclusion, will Blake and Delaney be forever lost to each other or will they find the happiness they both deserve. This is the first book in a series and Book 2 follows the life of Blake's brother Justin who appears in this book.
I would give this book 4 stars - an easy romantic read and one those who like a romantic read where the main male character is such a likeable guy. I read this one within 24 hours,

This is the first time I've read a book by Paris, but it won't be the last.

I thoroughly enjoyed Delaney and Blake's story. They frustrated me sometimes, but all in all, it was a good book.

Delaney comes to Glebe Point to check out Blake. Her cousin had recently passed away, leaving her young son with Delaney. She had told Delaney that Blake was mean and abusive, and Delaney wanted to find out if that was true, as her cousin wasn't always known for telling the truth. When she meets Blake at a Halloween party, she falls for him. But she's not honest with him about her reason for being in town. She knows she needs to tell him about Ben, but she is reluctant to lose him. What she doesn't know is that Blake just found out he has a son, and has a private investigator looking for him. Needless to say, when Blake finds out who Delaney is, things go downhill.

Thanks to BHC Press and NetGalley for providing me an e-book. This is my honest review.

It was a nice story. Romance caught Delaney off guard when she decided to find Connie's mysterious man from the past.
Although I found the characters were not fully developed, the story was able to be read up to the last page.
