This novel is a captivating romance that explores the complexities of relationships, loyalty, and the power of the past. Set in Michigan on the beautiful Mackinac Island, the story follows the intertwined lives of Brick Callan and Remi Ford, who share a complicated history that includes fights, friendship, family, and an attraction that has never died.

The author has crafted a fascinating story of frenemies-to-lovers, packed with slow burn romance, glorious banter, and steamy encounters. The relationship between Brick and Remi is fraught with tension, and their journey towards each other is both heartwarming and thrilling.

One of the things I loved most about this book was the way it tackled the idea of opposites attracting. Brick is a big, grumpy, overprotective hero who is fiercely loyal to those he loves, while Remi is a free-spirited artist who loves to push boundaries and take risks. The chemistry between them is electric, and the author's ability to capture their emotions is truly impressive.

The story is filled with small-town shenanigans, nail-biting suspense, and an incredible sense of longing that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. The author's writing is engaging and heartfelt, with characters that feel both relatable and authentic.

Overall, "Forever Never" is a compelling and captivating read that will appeal to anyone looking for a well-written and engaging romance. Lucy Score is a talented writer who has crafted a story that is both emotional and thrilling, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a satisfying and entertaining read.

Lucy Score is a great! This is for anyone who loves frenemies-to-lovers, opposites attract slow burns. There's glorious banter and fighting as foreplay, with small-town shenanigans.

Wow, Forever Never is SPICY!  This book was over-the-top steamy and I'm no prude, but I definitely had to swipe past a few pages here and there because the sex scenes became a bit repetitive.  

Otherwise, though, the story is fantastic and had some thriller vibes going on toward the end which I enjoyed.  An excellent read if you don't mind the steam factor!

I LOVE Lucy’s writing it’s all so pleasing. I fall more in love with her every book I read of hers. I really enjoyed the small town vibes of Mackinac Island. I love Remi and Brick! Remi has always been a wild child and I think maybe that could be why she was my favorite, always getting into trouble. Brick was a huge grump but so loving and protective of her. I enjoyed the past scenes of the book not to heavy but enough to give you a glimpse of back then. I loved this romance and I loved how long of a book it was. 600 pages YES PLEASE!

I really love Lucy Score's writing, but Forever Never just isn't my favourite book of hers. I liked both Brick and Remi and all of the side characters on Mackinac Island, but this one just didn't hook me.

Quick read that fans of the authors other books will enjoy.  Nothing too over the top, wouldn’t say it’s the best I’ve read but right down the middle of the road. If you’re looking for a rom com feel but  with some suspense this is right up your alley.

This book was a 3.5 star for me, once the storyline got going it got interesting, but certain parts just dragged on too long for me. 

Remi and Brick have had this will they/won’t they relationship the entire time that they have known each other. When Remi suddenly returns to Mackinac Island injured, Brick does what he does and protects her while trying to learn the truth. These two work together to protect themselves and their loved ones, as well as to put away the bad guy, while working on the dynamics of their newly defined relationship. 

This is the first book of Lucy Score’s that I have read, I’ve always wanted to read one of their books, and so this one seemed like a good one to start with. I loved the fact that this book was written in third POV, its one of my favourite POVs to read in and one that I find a little more difficult to come by. The book has the *spice* that you can find in many romance books, although some of these scenes I found a little dragged out and over descriptive for what was going on.

The first half of the book was a little difficult to get through as I found that the situations Remi and Brick consistently found themselves in where the exact same, just in a different setting. The second half of the book did contain multiple sex scenes, where almost every conversation that Remi and Brick have leads to yet another one. But once you move past the first half, and get through the sex scenes of the second half, you can finally get into the nitty gritty of the book. Once you finally get into the finer details and are able to progress through the storyline, I didn’t want to put the book down and just wanted to uncover the secret that Remi has been keeping.

Thank you NetGalley and Bloom Books for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review,

I really enjoyed this book! It's a romance but has a bit of thriller to it. It's SPICY! The characters are lovable and I loved the suspense. Highly recommended!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. The only way to describe this book is NSFW...but really, NSF public consumption, better read in the privacy of your home. This had me blushing because I was afraid my seatmate on the plane would glance over. The love story between Brick and Remi overshadows the B story about a mysterious predicament Remi has gotten herself into prior to returning to her hometown. Both are a slow burn but once it heats up, you can't help but race until the end.

This is the first book I have read by Lucy Score. 
Let me just say I'm glad I picked her up!
The main characters were Remington and William (known hereafter as "Brick")  There is an age gap (8 years) that didn't make me uncomfortable. 

The Spice was off the charts, but the plot was also 10/10. There seems to be a resurgence of romance novels with a high spice level and also a fantastic plot and I am so here for it.

Brick and Remi are like gasoline and a match. They have been fighting since Remi was in high school and Brick had just moved to Mackinac Island at 24 years old with his younger brother to live with their grandparents. However, there is more to the fighting than meets the eye. When Remi shows back up on the island after having lived in Chicago for several years, Brick knows there is more to the story of her return than she is telling. An undeniable attraction between the two shows back up with a vengeance. Will Remi tell Brick what she is running from and let him help her? Will she run into his arms in the process and will he let her? 

I have been on a huge Lucy Score kick. Her books are romantic, but with a lot of spice and an actual story line. This one is no exception. I remained totally invested with Brick and Remi and wanted everything to work out for them. It’s a long book, but worth the investment of time to follow this love story! 

Thank you to #netgalley and #lucyscore for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest feedback!

Forever Never 
3 stars 

Remington Ford returns to her home in the dead of winter under mysterious conditions.  She rarely visits Mackinac Island, an island off of Michigan that thrives off of summer business.  Her family doesn't need to know that she just found herself in deep trouble with a powerful person and neither does Brick Callan, her teenage crush that she never quite got over. What both Brick and Remi don't know is that they still have feelings for each other.  They are complete opposites.  Remi is a successful artist and Brick a no nonsense,  rugged police officer.  Brick is determined to find out what happened in the city that Remi is trying to hide.  

Things I loved about this book:  
I loved the artistic element of Forever Never.  It needs a playlist with Remi's songs.  I loved the slow burn between Brick and Remi.  A lot goes on in their heads and I was here for all the angst.  The cover of this novel is beautiful and it drew me in!   I have wanted to read a book by Lucy Score so here was the perfect chance, it is set during the winter on a remote island.  Love it!
Things I didn't love about this book:
It was about 200 pages too long.  I found some of it hard to believe and I didn't always like Remi's personality.  But that just could be me!

*This book was given to me by NetGalley in return for an honest review*

I enjoy second chance, friends-to-lovers troupes but that's not exactly what I got. I think I would have loved this more if we left out the suspense and the best friend drama. This author is hit-or-miss for me, so hopefully, the next one is a hit.

I am definitely a fan of Lucy Score!  Each book I read from her is highly enjoyable and well plotted.  This is another one!  I am going to have to heck but if there are more stories regarding this town, I am all in.

This book has all the feels! Grumpy/sunshine. Spice. Family. Witty banter. Real emotions. I really enjoyed this book! Remi and Brick were made for each other. I will be telling everyone to read this book!

I absolutely love Lucy Score and her writing! Forever Never is so amazing and unique. It is filled with amazing characters, an addictive plot, and lots of tension, suspense, and romance. There are so many things that come together and are tied up at the end that make for a fantastic story. Forever Never has it all, you won't want to miss this one! Highly recommended.

Lucy Score did amazing with Forever Never. The suspense, second chance, small town feel was everything. I loved Remi and Brick and all the struggles they over came. I would definitely read more from their little town.

Maybe 3.5 ⭐️ ?

Brick is your caring, overprotective, alpha male hero. Remi is the one woman he always wanted but felt like he could never have. While Remi battled her feelings for him, and the hurt of his constant rejections. Even though she moved away and recreated herself, she ends up in the middle of a dangerous situation. And he is the one person who makes her feel safe, so she runs back home… 

I want to give the book 4 stars but the storyline lost my attention a little at the end. I wasn’t as invested as I had been, just ready for the end. Brick & Remi though, overall, didn’t disappoint. Their chemistry was great. Plenty of spice, angst & alpha male with a decent story. 

I received this book from the publisher & NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

Holy shitballs! So spicy! Like really, really spicy. And so many feels. With a great story! And funny dialogue. And a new book boyfriend. Bless Lucy Score for creating a grump like Brick Callan. 
She got herself a new fan here.

Lucy score does it again! I love her books. Always great story lines with some smut!! I love each and every character in this book and the ending was great!!
