Having a man-free and ripple-free existence was the first step in Hayley Christopher’s plan to get her priorities back in order.
Former professional cheerleader, recent divorcee, and one semester shy of her degree, she struggles with being a temporary guardian to her nephew,Fletcher. Convinced that she’s falling short on the maternal scale and barely making it through the day. Running into her high school crush and now landlord, Ray, only complicates her life and makes her wonder if she’s in some sort of negative karmic loop.
Ray Braddock is still healing from his wife’s untimely death and is definitely not looking to become involved on any level with anyone at this point in his life. In spite of all of their past hurts and betrayals, the three of them seem to make each other whole in ways they don’t yet fully understand.
Hayley’s find her heart warming to Ray’s growing connection with Fletcher, and knows that he’s one of the “good ones” that she needs to hang on to. However when Fletcher’s father’s determination to make her pay - violently - for what he sees as interference in his business, she realizes that everything she’s worked so hard for could be in jeopardy...
Body of the review:
A Forever Kind of Guy by Barbara Meyers was an emotional, heart pounding, feel good type of romance. Having been a temporary guardian in the past, I could really identify with Hayley’s inadequacy issues and found myself getting teary over Fletcher’s struggle to be heard without his voice. I thought Ray’s ability to connect with him using actions over words was brilliant; making Fletcher a priority without the little boy feeling like he was “out of the norm.” While the sex was portrayed in a more romantic fashion my heart still pounded with anticipation every time the hero and heroine met. I wanted them so badly to seal the deal, but loved the suspenseful way Ms. Meyers went about it as much as when it happened. These characters were definitely three dimensional - they could be MY neighbors and friends. Their goals, hurts and struggles could have very well been my own. I was so impressed with the depth in this piece that I’m absolutely going to backtrack and read the first book in this series - I’m hooked on the Braddocks!
