Publisher's summary

Celia Lynton had been told her entire life that she couldn’t marry for love, marriage should be a business agreement, poor men were only after the family fortune, blah, blah, blah. But now, there is no fortune. There’s only debt and an urgency to find a way to pay her younger brother’s tuition at a school that can tend to his special needs.

So yeah, there’s going to be a marriage. One of convenience. Just like her parents wanted. She’ll marry a future Scottish earl—a very rich future earl—and her brother will get to attend school. There’s just one problem: Celia is in love with another man.

Carter Martin has loved Celia since they were kids. Never mind he’s too quiet, too studious for someone who lights up a room when she smiles; add to that the fact his father works for her family. Being the son of the “help”, he could never be good enough for her. So he’s worked hard his entire life to show his boss, the earl of Pembroke, that he can take over his father’s position as steward of the estate someday and take care of the family that has taken care of his for generations.

Little does he know, Celia has a plan of her own…an intimate trip to Italy where they won’t be able to keep their hands off each other. How can he resist the only woman he’s ever loved?

Sweet and sensual

Lauren Smith captured my attention from the start of Forever Be Mine, a Contemporary romance that reads somewhat like a historical romance.
Celia and Carter have loved each other since childhood. But Celia plans a marriage of convenience to a wealthy Scottish Earl who needs an heir. Carter never felt worthy of her as he’s the son of a steward of the estate of the Earl of Pembroke and will someday take over his father’s position. Celia and Carter escape to Italy to have time alone before she marries. But when his father becomes I’ll, Carter must return without her. Celia must then face the challenge of fighting for her love and a future with Carter or say goodbye to Carter altogether.
As this story went on Lauren Smith skillfully gave no clue that this would be a HEA for Celia and Carter until a revelation by the Earl of Pembroke changes the future of others.
Slow, engaging, and passionate narration by Stella Hunter and Shane East. Stella Hunter’s soft sensual voice was perfect for sweet but troubled Celia. And Shane East’s super smooth narration of Carter keeps you spellbound over every word.
This was a quick read and with another little extra story at the end.
