Review: Welcome to Blushing Alaska! I was so excited when I heard about Laura's newest release set in Blushing, Alaska. There is just something so magical about Alaska, so I couldn't wait to dive in!

From the beginning, I was drawn to Myles and Montana. Montana is a wedding planner and Myles is the man turning her world upside down. The chemistry between these two was 🔥 and their banter was perfect! You could feel the pull these two had to each other. Myles was so delicious and then the meaning behind the title, I melted! This one is sweet, spicy, seriously fun and will make you blush.🤭 I enjoyed the side characters, especially Clifford Wellhung!🤣 I listened to the audiobook by Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran. Both are new narrators to me, but they did an excellent job bringing these characters to life!🥰 I'm hoping for more from this world. I couldn't help but try to match side characters up!🤭

Another fun time listening to Laura's newest book in her new Blushing series. Montana doesn't realize Myles is the person who is trying to take away one of her favourite places until after they've spent a night together. I loved Montana and Myles' relationship from the beginning. I love how they fall in love and how they work through their problems. As per usual, I love how Laura writes her characters and how she makes them communicate. It's always so refreshing that she writes healthy relationships! I loved the Alaskan setting and all the characters. I laughed out loud a couple of times while listening. All the side characters were great, and we get glimpses at who the next couple will be. I can't wait to see how their story unfolds! Another fun and light-hearted listen!

ou, Me, & Forever had me hooked from the very beginning! Montana and Myles were everything! From a one night stand to enemies to friends to lovers (and all the swoony tension in between), their story was pure perfection. Myles? Literal heart melter.

Montana’s dad was the sweetest, I adored every moment he was on the page. And in true Laura Pavlov fashion, she gave us the ultimate girl gang! Supportive, hilarious, and ride or die… the kind of besties every girl deserves!

And let’s talk audiobook magic: Troy Duran & Cicely Meadows nailed the vibe. Their voices brought these characters to life in the best way!

I had so much fun listening to this audiobook! You, Me and Forever is the first book in a new small town romance series and it had everything you could want and more. It had me laughing out loud, falling for this small town with all the animals and people, swooning (and sweating) over Myles, wanting to be besties with Montana and her gang of girls, and daydreaming about getting to visit gorgeous Alaska.

The setup was a typical hallmark movie- big city billionaire comes into the small town, buys the hotel that means everything to the small town girl, and plans to tear it down. But Laura Pavlov took it to a whole new level by adding her signature humor, romance, and spice. I loved Myles and Montana's easy friendship and hot chemistry. They both intended on their relationship being a "fling" while he was in town and I loved how they grew into so much more. I found myself feeling all the emotions with this one and I couldn't have been happier with the ending.

We are traveling to Blushing Alaska and I think I’m in love. Montana, a small business wedding planner. Myles, a billionaire developer that squashes her dreams, what could go wrong?
A hot, swoony billionaire with a heart of gold who had commitment issues because of his family? Sign me up!
Myles was knocked on his feet in more ways than one when he met Montana.
This book had a touch of everything. The sass, the meet cute🤣🤣, the one night stand (sleeping with the enemy) the nicknames they give each other, snarky banter, the slight tension, family drama, enemies to friends to lovers vibe was so well written. Oh, and not to leave out the wildlife animals, aka a moose and a porcupine who have made Blushing their home. I loved how slowly they evolved into more, even though they had some self inflicted hurdles. But, their growth and foundation of friendship was a beautiful stepping stone for them. Also, the way the second book was set up throughout the story line was perfection and I can’t sit to dive in.
The audiobook was narrated by Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows. I had never listened to this duo together but they did keep me engaged, and their characterizations were spot on. I couldn’t stop listening. Great start to the series!

I love Laura's books and this one was no exception. A totally new setting and a fresh cast of characters really had me eating this one up. I loved getting to know all the new faces and places in this book. Myles and Montana had this steamy hookup, not exchanging real names or careers (her having a fun time with friends, which was hilarious), but they soon find out that Myles is the new tycoon in town. He bought the venue Montana hosts weddings at in Blushing, an inn that has a special place in her heart, and plans to tear it down and build a bigger resort. They clash at their first meeting after their night together, but that tension becomes oh so delicious and inevitable. Even though they maintained their relationship was just while Myles is in town, you could feel how deep their feelings were becoming. Their banter was top tier and I loved all their steamy moments. The audio on this was excellent as well. Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows were the perfect Myles and Montana.

Hello Blushing Alaska! I am so excited for this new series!

It starts off with an excellent enemies to lovers story between a billionaire developer and a wedding planner. Sparks fly and soon Montana and Myles go from bickering to flirting. I definitely enjoyed this small town atmosphere and the characters who live there. Both Montana and Myles have a back story that was interesting and explained so much of themselves. I'm looking forward to more in this series!

Huge shoutout to audio narrators Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran. This was my first listen from Cicely Meadows and she did amazing as Montana. Troy is always a hit and I enjoyed listening to him as Myles.

You, Me, and Forever kicks off a new series for Laura Pavlov in Blushing, Alaska. I had the honor of receiving an ALC of this. It’s done in dual style by Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows. I will admit they weren’t my favorite narrators in playing the opposite sex but it didn’t take me out of the story or anything. When they played their respective male or female characters, I thought they did an excellent job!

Montana owns a wedding planning business in Blushing with her friend, Violet. Myles is a billionaire who just purchased the Seaside Inn they use for many of their weddings. He is planning to tear it down and build a luxury hotel which disrupts their business.

They have a fun meet-cute, neither knowing who the other really is until a day or two later. Then of course Montana instantly dislikes him because he’s taking away not only a huge asset for her business but also many precious childhood memories.

However, they are able to strike up a friendship of sorts while he’s in town overseeing the demolition and planning phases. And of course that friendship becomes more as we saw how hot the chemistry was with them on that first night.

Myles was so swoonworthy! He does so many grand, and small, gestures for Montana. He just has a huge heart once he starts to show it. It was so fun to see this NYC businessman begin to fit into this small town. His relationship with his family was hard but I love how things ended up working out.

There is tons of great banter throughout. The town has many fun, unique quirks. Montana is sassy and I loved all the snarky exchanges with Myles, while they were ‘enemies’ and after. The spice was great too.

I haven’t read any of Laura’s books since the Honey Mountain series but I would say if you’ve like her previous work, you’ll love this one. She definitely writes small town love stories as well as anyone!

This audiobook was everything. The author never ceases to amaze me with her stories. She makes me feel like I am part of her small towns and these performers brought all that to life. I enjoyed these two narrators and felt they did a great job owning the part of Miles and Montana.. I felt all the emotions in their performance.

Swoonfest Baby!!! Laura never fails to deliver the most heartwarming, swoony, and unforgettable small town romances that leaves you feeling all the feels.

What to expect:
💕Small Town Alaska
🫎Billionaire MMC
💕Wedding Planner FMC
🫎One Night Stand Turned More
💕Top Notch Banter

I absolutely loved this one. Everything from Miles and Montana’s first meet, all the way through to that iconic this is why we love romance books, stop the show declaration, and every single laugh out loud, kick your feet, and heated moment in between will have you consumed.

This was such a joy to read, and I cannot wait for more of this series.

Myles travels to Alaska to oversee the renovation of The Seaside Inn, a beloved property that once belonged to Montana’s father. Montana practically grew up at the inn and now regularly hosts weddings there, so she’s far from thrilled about the plans to renovate and expand it. The back and forth between her and Myles is a real highlight, his knack for pushing her buttons and her spirited responses create sparks from the start. Though they drive each other crazy, their chemistry is undeniable and soon leads to a casual relationship. But when real feelings start to surface, they’re forced to confront what that means, especially with Myles living in New York. Narrators Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran are the perfect voices for Montana and Myles, capturing everything from the tension to the tenderness. If you're looking for a sweet, small town romance that delivers all the warm and fuzzy vibes, this is a must listen!

cicely was a new narrator for me & i will definitely be keeping my eye out for more from her. her sassy tone & more vulnerable moments were so engaging in this performance. & troy duran was of course fantastic. i loved his deep gruff voice for myles. his smirk you could hear in the banter had me in a chokehold. if you’re considering the audio - don’t second guess it. it’s so good.

oh myles you stupid idiot i love you. 😂 this book is hate to love done right. the chemistry. the banter. the quirky town meddling. all of it was 10/10. myles & montana were so fun. i was giggling, blushing, swooning & kicking my feet this whole book. this little alaska town has my heart. i was so invested in these two & their one night stand to fling to friendship to love story that i simply couldn’t put it down. i listened to the whole book in one sitting & it had me completely sucked in from start to finish. if you’re new to laura this would be a great place to jump in but if you’ve read her before - this is laura at her best. it’s all the things i love about her books + a moose & a porcupine. highly recommend.

Sweet and spicy billionaire romance

I could not stop listening to this one. This is a wonderful story set in a small town of Blushing, Alaska, famous for a secret celebrity wedding occurring there. Now tourism is up and that brings Myles, a billionaire real estate developer from New York, to town. He purchases the only wedding venue in town leaving Montana, the wedding planner, scrambling to accommodate her clients.

Myles and Montana meet out one night, of course not knowing who the other really is. They share what should’ve been a one-night stand until they meet at the hotel where Montana is planning its last wedding. You quickly learn that this is more than a venue to Montana. She was practically raised there and has memories attached to the hotel.

This took a different direction than I expected, and I loved it. Even with their differences, these two cannot deny their attraction. They become friends and then friends with benefits while Myles is in town. This is not only their relationship with each other, but with their parents, siblings and friends. There’s great character development and the town of Blushing becomes its own character as the backdrop for this story. I look forward to more from this town and characters.

Narrated by Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows. I need more Troy Duran in my ears. His soothing yet growly tone was perfect for Myles, the true romantic at heart but doesn’t realize it. Cicely is new to me and she brought Montana’s sweet side when dealing with her father, her feisty side dealing with Myles and her boss babe attitude when challenged.

You, Me and Forever is the first book in the new Blushing series. It is a small town, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, one-night stand to fling romance. This is Myles and Montana's story. You get witty banter, romantic gestures, swoony moments, steam and all the feels. These two are perfect together, I can't wait to see what we get next in this series.

Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. You could feel the emotions in their voices. I really enjoyed their narration.

Laura Pavlov’s “You, Me, and Forever” delivers a delightful blend of small-town charm and big-city conflict, brought to life beautifully in its audiobook format by narrators Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows. From the moment listeners are introduced to Montana, a wedding planner whose world is upended by a one-night stand, the story hooks you. Meadows perfectly captures Montana's exasperation and vulnerability as she grapples with her ex’s engagement, a six-month dry spell, and the looming threat to her beloved Seaside Inn.

The narrative shines when the "bulldozer-happy developer from New York" turns out to be her recent fling, Myles St. James. Duran’s portrayal of Myles is spot-on – a man who is clearly more than just a real estate mogul. He brings a depth and unexpected warmth to a character who could easily have been a one-dimensional antagonist. The chemistry between the two narrators is palpable, making the enemies-to-lovers trope feel genuinely earned and deliciously complicated.

The stakes are high: the heroine’s dreams are intertwined with saving the Seaside Inn, and Myles holds the power to shatter them. Yet, the undeniable pull between them makes “sleeping with the enemy” feel less wrong and more exquisitely right. Pavlov's writing, combined with Duran and Meadows's engaging performances, makes “You, Me, and Forever” an enjoyable listen that balances humor, heart, and a simmering romance.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

You, Me, and Forever is a sweet small town romance that will sweep you away and make you smile! Laura brings us to an Alaskan town for so much banter between Myles and Montana.
Myles and Montana spend a night together,
and that attraction doesn't die down even after learning what Myles is in town for.
Myles is a billionaire, and he finds himself in the company of a woman that he wants more time with.
Montana is a wedding planner and loves what she does even if she hasn't found her HEA herself.
Can I just say how much I love the nicknames in this one!!!

When listening to this audio, I felt there were moments when both the narrators were a little monotone when they should have had more emotion in their voice. Even with that said, I loved this story, and the audio was still a good listen. Troy Duran is one of my favorites, and he has the perfect gruff tone for a billionaire. Cicely Meadows is new to me, and I liked her sweet but sassy tone for Montana.

If you love small town, billionaire with all the banter and moments that will make you swoon. This book is for you!!
I am excited for more of this series...

Montana and Myles… love them.. Laura Pavlov goes to Alaska… and I loved it!! Montana runs a wedding business in her hometown and Myles buys the main venue she issues and is making it bigger. Love their random meet and then hoe they connect. I loved their friendship developing and then admitting their feelings.
Laura Pavlov writes great friends and family who really are there for everyone!!! Another great read!

From enemies to lovers that had me blushing like the name of the town. “You, Me, and Forever” is a swoony, emotional and romantic small town, enemies to lovers that was a fantastic start to this new series.

Montana is a wedding planner and business owner in the small town of Blushing, Alaska. And her small town, her favorite place to have weddings, has been bought by a billionaire real estate developer, Miles St. James. Miles saw the opportunity and potential in expanding the small inn and wants the place to be a success. But he wasn’t expecting to find resistance from one of the local residents who he met prior at a bar… under a different name. But the changes are happening and Miles can’t stop thinking about Montana since their night together. He’s only there for a short time to get the construction going but no matter how they try, they can’t stay away from each other.

I loved how these two met and the instant chemistry that they had from the beginning. Going out with your friends for a fun night with some fake names and careers sounds like so much fun. And the enemy part of the story had me hooked and I loved that part of the story. Montana is genuine, caring and passionate about her small town. Her business is thriving and fits in with the town so well. Miles is smart, driven and has a good heart under that tough exterior he has from the hard childhood he had. His drive to go out on his own despite the expectations of what his father wanted from him. He was a big city guy learning how to adapt to the small town ways. I loved the moose and porcupine making their appearances throughout the story. Miles and Montana had fantastic banter and they had me smiling more than once in those early enemy days. But the emotional connection they had was so sweet and made my heart so happy. I loved the ending and I can’t wait for more from this series.

Cicely Meadows and Tony Duran narrated this audio and I loved listening to them bring this story to life. Cicely is a new to me narrator and I thought she did a great job bringing the sweet and caring Montana to life. Tony was great as the driven and sweet Miles, he brought his personality alive perfectly.

Just like with every other Laura Pavlov book, this one will leave you grinning with that heartwarming feeling.

What I loved about it:

1. The Alaska setting
2. Small-town feels
3. Myles' character development
4. Myles and Montana's chemistry and banter
5. Side characters who I'm hoping become main characters

I absolutely love it when a confident billionaire finds himself falling unexpectedly, and I loved every moment where Myles discovered this was happening. Even though he tried fighting it and telling himself "it is just a fling", every single thing he did for Montana proved otherwise. This man was swoony, confident, but had his own broken pieces to fix. I loved the layers to this man!

Once again L Pavlov has created a world in which it is oh so easy to escape to and I can't wait for more from this small town Alaska! Well done!

It is no secret that I love everything Laura writes and this new series is no surprise to be so freaking amazing! Montana & Myles stole my heart! This is the first book in the Blushing series and takes place in a small town in Alaska. Montana is the owner of Blushing Bride, a wedding planner business. One night she meets Myles and they have a night together. She is surprised when she finds out he is actually the enemy. The town’s favorite wedding venue spot was bought by a developer, aka Myles.

The chemistry between Montana and Myles is electric. Enemies to lovers, banter that had me grinning, and nicknames that made me melt. Laura absolutely delivered. But what really got me was the way they built each other up. Myles helped Montana find her voice again and helped with her business. She brought him the joy that was missing in his life and allowed him to have fun and give forever a chance.

🎧 The narration was beautifully done by Cicely Meadows & Troy Duran. This was my first time hearing Cicely and I am currently obsessed with her. Her voice was so sweet and really nice to listen to. They did a good job portraying all the emotions and brought the characters to life.
