Finding My Forever by Heidi McLaughlin
4.0
Jenna is in for a rocky road. She has just discovered she is pregnant, decides not to tell the father because she doesn’t think he would be interested and her formerly abusive ex has found her.
Jimmy “J.D.” Davis cannot get Liam and Josie’s wedding out of his mind. He spent the night with someone who he cannot forget. But his ex wants him back.
When Jenna’s ex makes a move the band and wives spring into action to protect her.
Liam becomes irate when Jenna says she doesn’t want the father to know about the baby because of his missing out on Noah’s first ten years of life. He complains to Jimmy, who figures out it’s his baby.
He takes Jenna away from everything and marries her. Just when they find their groove, Jimmy’s ex tells him she is pregnant, and it’s his. Once he sorts that out, Jenna’s ex shoots him.
The heroines in this series seem to really buy into the promiscuous rock star trope and do not trust their partners. Jenna spends much of the beginning of the book convinced Jimmy will cheat on her, even with no evidence to corroborate this. As Josie tells her “He is Jimmy after all”; to what purpose I don’t know. When the band is about to go on tour Josie confides to Jenna that she’s sometimes still worries Liam will stray.
Most of the issues between this couple could easily have been solved if they’d had a proper conversation. There seems to be a disconnect between the characters inner thought and their actions.
I adored Josie in Forever My Girl but found her a little unlikable as a secondary character.
Jimmy’s father comes across as a typical ageing rock star whose bygone days were, perhaps too much fun and have led him to his sons ex.
The culmination of the baby’s birth and Jenna’s ex’s death wraps up the book nicely.
