Publisher's summary

I never thought I’d see her again. Considering she left me at the altar...

After five years since the disappearance of my fiancé, I’m still looking over my shoulder. When she shows up back in our small town, I’m shocked, to say the least. But I need answers in order to put the past behind me.

But one kiss changes everything. Just when I’m a heated powder keg ready to blow, Faith announces she’s moving to London. That means she’s off-limits. I survived her leaving me once. I doubt I’ll survive again.

Every attempt to keep distance between us fails when her smile draws me in all over again. Keeping Faith close to me might end in disaster, but I can’t get enough of how she makes me feel.

When the chance to make her mine again is within my reach, will the truth she’s hiding about why she really left ruin any chance we have to make it work this time?

If you love small towns, good cops, and runaway brides with heart-pounding endings, All for Me is the second-chance romance for you.

No cheating. No cliff-hangers. HEA Guaranteed.

Previously published as Must Have Faith. It has been extensively rewritten and is now in first person.

Second Chances

Greg is a cop; Faith is a producer for a news network. A night she regrets causes Faith to run from the only man she's ever loved. Five years later, this might be the beginning of a reconciliation but the hurt Greg still holds onto and the guilt Faith carries with her, could be their undoing. As they begin to rebuild what they once had, will Faith's secret keep them from their long awaited HEA.

A great story of forgiveness and second chances. Good narration.

All for Me

All for Me is the second book in the Forever Mine series. This book is about Greg and Faith.

Faith and Greg were set to be married, but she took off and left him three days before their wedding. She took a job in Iraq.

Now 5 years later, she's back and Greg has a hard time dealing with it. This book has so much. It's an emotional ride and I really enjoyed it. Seeing what these characters went through to get to where they are today. Can they get past everything that happened in the past to get their happy ending?

The melodrama is strong with this couple.

   I adored the first book in this series, and during that book, I had already become invested in Greg and Faith.  This is the steamy second-chance love story of executive producer/journalist Faith and her jilted groom Greg, who is a small-town policeman on Long Island.  I really like this couple and cheered them on.  They are good but imperfect people who are really made for each other. 

   I think this second book is not quite as good as the first one because the author’s drawn-out obstacles to romance felt more forced in this book than in Gwen and Andrew’s story in book 1.  Greg and Faith kept going one step forward and one step back for too long, in my opinion.  In addition, the melodrama was okay for me for most of the book, but the last 25 percent ramped up the melodrama too much for me.  For example, a 6’2” veteran cop and a tough woman who had been a war correspondent both became physically dizzy when their emotions became too much for them!  That’s a little much in my opinion.

   I did really enjoy the short suspenseful subplot.  Also, the couple’s back stories and internal dialogues were very well written.  I also enjoyed getting to know the fictional Long Island town of Darling Cove.  The sensory details and geography made it seem very real. 

   The pair of narrators (the same as in Book 1) did a marvelous job.  Stephen Borne and Auri Alden are both very versatile with men’s and women’s voices.  They are experts at conveying emotions and at bedroom scenes.  Auri Alden’s gorgeous and expressive alto voice reminded me of Julia Whelan.  Stephen Borne sounded very sexy as the hero.  They both really brought this romance to life. 

   I requested and received a free audio copy, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.  #PFPAudio #PinkFlamingoProductions #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam

Secrets & Lies

Auri Alden and Stephen Borne brought to life this second chance romance. Deborah Garland delivers a well written story with great character development. It takes you on an emotional ride that will have you wanting to shake some people in the story.

All for Me

This is the second book in the Forever Mine series. Faith and Greg finally got their happily ever after. It was definitely a bumpy ride. I enjoyed this second chance run away bride romance. Auri Alden and Stephen Borne did a fantastic job narrating this book.

3-1/2⭐ Second Chance Romance

Gregory and Faith were about to be married and Faith became a run-away bride 5 years ago.  Faith is back in the small town of Darling Cove and is still in love with Gregory and he had never got over her, but has certainly tried.  I thought the book was a good second chance romance but was not a big fan of Faith.  She should have told Gregory why she left earlier.  I couldn’t help but feel bad for him because he loved her so much and even though she said she did too, I didn’t really feel that she did.  I did love a lot of the other characters in the story, especially Gregory’s family.  I am looking forward to Sky’s and Edward’s story!  Auri Alden and Stephen Borne and new narrators to me and I thought they were great!  Their voices were great for the story and made it enjoyable.

Greg and Faith finally get their HEA

I was wanting Greg and Faith's second chance story after listening to book 1. I do have to admit it wasn't quite what I expected. I wanted to smack them Gibbs to DiNozzo style more than once, and tell them to grow up a few times, pull their big boy and girl pants up, etc... guess you get the hint. Lots of angst and honestly at times seemed like 'high school' drama as they went through second, third, etc chances to FINALLY get their baggage out in the open and get their HEA. There was lots of emotional turmoil in between and moments of them being the bigger person and I was invested in finding out all the secrets. The grand finale gestures were pretty good I have to admit. The narration was good at bringing their characters to life.

3 stars

this was a touch of a slow burn second chance romance that sounded good but then had difficulty keeping my attention especially when there was in between the lines possible reasons for the bride to have left the groom at the alter. When the truth is revealed it further upset me because it's not something that i approve of and find hard to accept even in fictional worlds. I already didn't like the mfc and further disliked her by the end. The male lead was ok for me but overall the story was not for me. I did enjoy the talent behind the story which was provided the narrators.

second chances

Faith and Greg were to get married 5 years ago. she called off the wedding and fled. she is now back in Darling Cove. She eventually runs into Greg. As they navigate around each and why she left they grow close again.
I enjoyed this 2nd book in this series. the narrators were perfect as Faith and Greg.

Crazy Cajun Book Addicts

All For Me is a second chance romance by Deborah Garland. I listened to the audio version narrated by Auri Alden and Stephen Borne, which I really enjoyed. These two really brought the story and characters to life.

Five years ago, Faith left Greg just days before their wedding with no word of why. Now shes back in their hometown, and when they come face to face all those feelings they had for each other bubble to the surface, in fact, they never really went away. But Faith's not here to stay abd although they yry to kerp their distance fate seems to have other ideas but is their love for each other strong enough to weather the storm when Faith lays all her truths bare.

for me

Wonderful dual narration from Auri Alden and Stephen Borne

Faith left Greg at the alter because of something she did the night before the wedding. Now five years she is back home in Darling Cove, a television executive producer and staying with her parents. Faith still has feelings for Greg. Her father is in poor health. Greg is still in the small town, when he sees Faith he knows that he is not over her. Greg is loving, attentive and understands what family is. I love small town and second chance romances. A wonderful listen.

Faith and Greg!

Faith was planning a future with Greg until one event caused her to second guess everything. She ended their relationship and went overseas with no explanation. Ten years later their paths cross once again her best friend who is also his sister asks her to take some wedding pictures. The chemistry and connection hasn’t diminished over time but their different visions for the future as well as their past are two things they will need to overcome.

Greg was devastated when Faith left, and he has tried to move forward with his life. When he sees Faith again, he is dealing not only with the pain of the past but the feelings he has for her in the present. When he finds out one of the reasons that she left will he be able to forgive, or will the betrayal be something he can’t move past?

Everyone in their lives know that Faith and Greg belong together, and I enjoyed seeing them realize it as well. I listened to an audio copy, and I enjoyed the performances of the narrators as they brought out all the emotion and angst that they were feeling. 🎧 Pink Flamingo Productions

Second Chance Romance

All for Me by Deborah Garland is a second chance romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Auri Alden and Stephen Borne. This is the second book in the Forever Mine series.

This is the third book of Deborah’s that I have read, and it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed the relationship between Greg and Faith. It was messy but you couldn't help but root for them. I liked that we got both of their points of views throughout the book.

I can’t wait for the next book in the series Live For Me to be released on audio so I can get Edward and Skye's story.

Auri and Stephen did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like second chance romances or contemporary romances.

Great small town romance

Faith left the alter just as she was ready to marry the love of her life, Greg. Talked into having a one night stand to see what was out there just before the wedding convinced her she wasn't ready to settle down. Now five years have gone by and she is back home in Darling Cove, a television executive producer and staying with her parents. She clearly still has feelings for Greg, but her deceit hangs over her. Her father is in poor health, which aids in her hesitation to leave. Greg is still in the small town, dealing with his feelings the only way he knows how. When he sees Faith though, it is true that he is not over her. The two fall into a no strings relationship knowing Faith is going to leave, but will she be able to go? How will Greg let her go again? Will Faith be able to leave her family? Will she tell Greg of her indiscretion? There is a lot going on in this romance. Greg is a wonderful man. He is loving, attentive and understands what family is. Faith is a bit frustrating as he dives into her limited time relationship with Greg. It took me a while to wrap my head around the fact she didn't come clean right away! But it all adds to the build up of this fascinating story. I love small town and second chance romances and this pushed all the right buttons. It's a wonderful listen.

Auri Alden and Stephen Borne continue with the narration of this series. Alden is fantastic as Faith. She gives her that hesitation and undeniable urge to be with Greg. I could feel her conflict throughout the story and it made Faith realistic. Greg is a warm and compassionate person and when I heard Stephen Borne come in, it was just as I imagined. I love his rasp, the warm tones and the love in his voice. This team is perfect for the story and was very enjoyable.

Love Second Chances! Great Story & Narration🎧

Deborah Garland pens another great novel set in her “Forever Mine” series, a second chance romance that captivates your attention and tugs on your heartstrings the entire time. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about too. Faith Copeland left her soon to be husband, Gregory Mallory, just days before the wedding. Faith not only broke his heart, but he had to deal with the fallout and being the talk of the town. She left town, took a photojournalist job in Iraq, so he could not even contact her. She comes back to Darling Cove five years later, staying with her again parents and working as an executive producer for a news program. Gregory is a police officer in town, and she knows she will run into him eventually. The opportunity comes when she bumps into his sister, who then asks if she could step in to photograph her engagement party. She agrees, hoping this will be her chance to take to Gregory and try to make mends with him. Their reunion does not go as planned or smoothly, but it is clear there are unresolved feelings between them, and Gregory has questions, ones she is not ready to answer yet. Garland made these two work for their HEA and I was rooting for them the entire time. The writing and plotting are fantastic, the drama is non-stop, emotions run high, and the romance is steamy. Deborah Garland, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
