Love You Now

Love You, Maine, Book 4

De: Julia Kent

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Erin Mallon

Ana DaSilva is looking for a palate cleanser. A one night stand. A reboot.

Instead, she got fireworks, sparks, chemistry, and the perfect guy. No one wants to meet Mr. Right when he should just be Mr. Rebound, but Mr. Right is so, so right.

But then he went from Mr. Right to Mr. Never, because when she learns she’s pregnant three days after that wonderful night with Dennis, she realizes her sleazy drug dealing ex not only left her with the legal mess she knew about, he gave her a life-long present.

One that means ignoring Dennis’ texts and phone calls, no matter how much she wants to answer.


Dennis Luview wants to escape his pain. Coming back to his hometown of Luview, Maine - the cheesy tourist trap where every day was Valentine’s Day - means facing a past he left behind twenty-four years ago.

Yes, his family is loving, and sure, he has roots that go bone-deep in the small town community where people step up for each other.

But the naive eighteen-year-old who left to serve his country is now a retired Special Ops vet with a heavy entourage of ghosts and PTSD. No woman deserves all the baggage he’s lugging around.

Including Ana, who clearly wants nothing to do with him, no matter how intense their one haunting encounter really was.
It's one thing to have ghosts, and quite another to be ghosted.

Which is why six months after that hot night, he’s stunned to find her in his hometown, at a bridal shower, her ripe, pregnant belly swelling under a gorgeous yellow sundress.

A public confrontation turns into a very private reunion, and as Dennis pursues Ana she opens up, but is he crazy to want her — and what turns out to be another man’s baby — to settle down and find stability and love?

Or is he deluding himself that he’s remotely worth the happiness an instant family could offer, after his terrible past?

Engrossing and oh so satisfying!

Dennis and Ana’s romance was my favorite book in the series because of their undeniable chemistry, his gripping episodes of PTSD, and their ability to connect with each other on an intellectual and emotional level. Dennis is former military with secrets he can’t reveal but it’s his intelligence, protectiveness, and his huge heart that drew me in. Ana’s psychological background and her empathetic nature gives her the ability to connect with Dennis right from the start and their sexy one night stand had me hooked from the start. While much of the story finds Dennis and Ana separated by complications she never saw coming their reunion and the magic of Love You Maine shines through and I was engrossed in the drama. My one slight complaint was the rushed epilogue when I wanted a few more chapters to fully appreciate their engaging and spellbinding connection. The best part of the story was the nuanced and captivating emotional storytelling performance of narrators Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton whose performances were oh so satisfying.

Denis and Ana

I love this small town and the zany characters who embrace the love theme. Denis Luview returns to his family after more than 20 years away, ready to take over the family business. He encounters Ana at a hotel leading to a night of passion. She ghosts him and sex months later finds him in Luview, Maine. Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon do a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life.

Loved this one.

Loved this newest addition to the Luview clan. So much sweetness and trauma, rolled into a delightfully beautiful romantic story. We meet Dennis and Ana, who have quite a bit of baggage that must be addressed and who are meant for each other. And then there are the animals, my favorite is, of course, the sugar glider. The narrators do an excellent read as always.
“Magic settled into her coveralls pocket, eyes on Dennis as if saying, Pick me. Choose me. Love me.”
I can’t say which of these books are my favorite, love them all. Do not miss this one.

When you are not looking

Julia Kent has created a wonderful world in Love You Maine. Dennis never saw Ana co.ing. Ana never thought she would find someone like Dennis. A chance meeting due to a lost kitten changes everything. Get ready for a heart warming love story.

This series is so much fun and I throughly enjoyed getting to meet so many of the residents of Luview, Maine.
