I'm a simple woman; I love to see a reserved, starchy hero become increasingly more unglued over the heroine as a book progresses. This book gave me exactly that. It delighted me how awkward Gavin and Emilia were.
I just wish it were a bit longer because with a little more relationship development and a slower burn this would have been perfect.

I will be seeking compensation for emotional damages because my heart has been thoroughly smushed around, squeezed, and put into a boiling pot of feelings.
I had my eyeball on Gavin Sinclair all during Forever Your Rogue. What was going on in that studious, lawyer-ly noggin of his? WELL GUESS WHAT. Erin, beloved human being, gives us Gavin’s story and it was so good I don’t even know how to review it.
I think it takes a special talent to make a novella length story a fully realized creation with characters that have dreams and hopes and disappointments to see to fruition. And Erin gave us that. All wrapped up in a “starchy, shy barrister falls in love with his nephew’s new governess after a dreamy evening at a coaching inn” bow.
Gavin and Emilia are absolutely the other half of each other’s souls. A man used to sitting in the shadows and observing and a woman that has never had anyone notice her lingering on the periphery. When you’re made to feel disposable, it takes someone that thinks you’re irreplaceable to make falling in love as passionate and worth it as Gavin does for Emilia. They think they’ll never see each other again! Wrong. Emilia thinks she’s not worth it! Wrong! There’s intimate sex and two precious dum dums falling in love and buying each other presents and Nate Travers being the DILF of the millennia. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT PEOPLE.
They’re so earnest, dancing around one another over the course of the Christmas holidays (at Nate and Cora’s house!! Hey Travers family!). The chemistry? Spectacular. The tension? Palpable. The yearning? So good I could cry. Try to hurt these two? I’ll bareknuckle BOX.
Throw in a spectacular law/court/trial plotline (with a supremely satisfying ending) and I couldn’t have asked for more from Erin. Cause at this point, she just raises the bar over and over and then leaps over it and takes my feelings and emotions with her.
Huge thank you to Erin for an ARC. All thoughts, opinions, and heart smushy feelings are my own.
