the_reader_reads_stuff's review against another edition
Just didn't catch me. Novel in that it's older woman (32) younger man (24). I guess I find books with kids in boring?

Another easy book for when in need of reading some romance. It was okay, but at times the actions felt forced, like she was trying very hard to make he book longer when there were few reasons for that.
It wasn't a bad book, but we all knew how it was going to end, though I didn't anticipate that the room would be golden.

A sweet reverse age gap set in the aftermath of the black death and English Civil War. Very short (end at 79%) so not a lot of depth to the story or characters but enjoyable all the same. Great to find historical romance that isn't regency or Victorian. This is very gentle with some beginnings of steam at the end but fading to black, (otherwise only kissing) with no on-page drama, though some from previous novels and domestic violence from the FMC's past is mentioned.
An enjoyable couple of hours if you are looking for something historical with a younger but mature MMC who is gentle and kind and clear about what he wants. There's good communication between the two parties, and although Camaron pushes Clarice to be brave and consider him and make a decision, he's very considerate and understanding and not at all uncomfortably pushy.

Forevermore is part of Lauren Royal’s Jewel Trilogy. The events take place after books one and two (Amethyst and Emerald) but before book three (Amber). Royal, as we’ve come to expect from her, gives us amazingly tortured characters that we can’t help but fall in love with.
Clarice is a woman who was dealt difficult blows in her life. She was married at the tender age of 15 to a man who was almost three times her age. Not only was he much older than her, but you’re lead to believe he was physically and verbally abusive. Years after his death Lord Cainewood (of Emerald) brings her a little girl who is need of a home. Having always wished for children she takes the little girl in, vowing it will be the start to a happier life for herself. It’s been a year since she adopted Mary and her life has never seemed happier. Cameron, on the other hand, has led a sort of charmed life, living in Scotland and caring for his family’s ancestral lands. Until seeing Clarice at his cousin’s wedding he realizes he’s never been in love (how sad!!). Watching him try to win Clarice’s heart and squash her fears with his tenderness and kindness was joyful. His scenes with little Mary were beautiful and made me love him even more!
Final Thoughts: If you haven’t yet added this series to your to-read pile you’re seriously missing out.

The constant use of "Scots' was grating. It was hard enough to read when used authentically by an actual Scot, R.L. Stevenson, when used by a moden day author whose L1 has no link to Scots, it was jarring and faux.

Cameron Leslie, I love you. Clarice is one lucky lady.
Sweet, short novella told from Clarice and Cameron's point of view after Cait and Jason's wedding. I want more of their story, but this will have to do.

Clean, lovely and romantic!
Such a sweet romance!
I was so happy to see that Clarice got her charming man. I was hoping she would get a HEA when she showed up in the first book.

I was very surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. The end was so sweet that I just grinned like a doofus. My only issue lies with the heroine and her insecurities that played like a broken record throughout the tale. But I admired the hero's patience with her. Had it been me, I would have bashed my head into a wall. @_@ Nevertheless, I liked this story a lot. And I absolutely loved that the hero was younger than the heroine. I'm adding this to my Keeper Shelf for future re-reads.

A very sweet, albeit super brief romance between commoner Clarice, widow and mother, and Sir Cameron Leslie. I am so glad I read the first two Chase family books so I understood the history of each of these characters and, of course, Mary’s history and importance to the Chase family.
