Publisher's summary

From the New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of the With Me in Seattle Series comes the end of a saga... Dominic Salvatore seemingly has everything a man could want. He's found a new relationship with his father and the entire Montgomery family. His vineyard, Cuppa di Vita, is a success. There's only one thing that eludes him: a certain driven, intelligent, and sexy as hell blonde named Alecia. Alecia works tirelessly building her event planning business. It's the most important part of her life. Despite the beautiful, lavish weddings she organizes, Alecia is convinced that the idea of true love is a myth. While Dominic is a sexy, intriguing man, welcoming the handsome Italian into her bed, and her life, is a risk she's not so sure she's willing to take. However Dominic isn't used to taking no for an answer, and it's not long before these two are burning up the sheets and discovering a connection that neither can deny. But will it be strong enough to last forever? "I'm going to eventually make you understand how amazing you are, tesoro." - Dominic Salvatore

Mr. Irresistible -- Too Good to be True

Where does Forever with Me rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Forever with Me ranks in the top 20% of all the audiobooks I've listen too. I like that it wraps the With Me In Seattle series with a glimpse of the future for the entire family.

What other book might you compare Forever with Me to and why?

I would compare Forever with Me to Play with Me because in each book the hot male lead character becomes smitten with a reluctant female. Each man has to woo his girl and prove why he is worth her time.

Which character – as performed by Eric Michael Summerer and Jennifer Mack – was your favorite?

Dominic was my character performed by the narrators because he had a mysterious air about him with that sexy Italian accent.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

While I did not have an extreme reaction, I did have several emotional reactions. I laughed a lot at the family gatherings, I felt teary at Alecia's reaction to Meg and Leo's moment and I felt a sense of contentment after reading the epilogue. I was sorry for series to end.

Sensual

Kristen outdid herself this time. This one was so hot that my club reviewed it several times this month . It's so well written that if you close your eyes while listening to it on audible, you can almost see it happening. Well done , young lady.

I loved this series ❤️ I cried I laughed I loved. please do a series on the grand children.

Amazing and exhilarating

This series was absolutely breathtaking. The bonds of this family were envious for anyone who has not experienced this kind of love. The author was absolutely brilliant with narration that leaves you engulfed and feeling like you were a part of the story. I loved every story in this series and enjoyed getting to know every person in this series.

Very good story and conclusion to the series :D

4 stars

This was a very good story. I liked Alecia and Dom and was rooting for them to get together. This story contained a bit more drama/angst than typically seen in this series but it was still what I'd consider low-angst overall.

Alecia is an event coordinator and has a thriving business planning weddings and events for many of the rich and famous in the Seattle area. Alecia grew up in a home with parents that made it clear that she wasn't a priority but rather a burden to avoid as best they could. Because of this, Alecia grew up feeling unloved and ended up marrying a man that seemed to love her at first but then made her feel like crap in order to keep her in line. They got divorced years ago but Alecia hasn't been willing to trust another relationship, thinking that love is a lie.

Dom is the owner of a vineyard outside of the Seattle area. He was born to a single mother and didn't find out his relationship to the Montgomery family until recently (after his mother died and he found information in her belongings). Dom has enjoyed getting to know his new family while still keeping contact with his family back in Italy (where Dom grew up part of his life).

Alecia has been the event planner for the Montgomery/Williams clan for a couple years when the story begins. Dom has been around for about a year or so and has seen Alecia at the events and is very attracted to her. Dom asked her out a number of times but Alecia always turned him down, which didn't go over well with Dom. Alecia isn't impervious to the attraction to Dom though and the longing for him is starting to leak in to her dreams. She won't go out with Dom though because she's convinced that he'd hurt her badly if she ever let herself go there. Dom ends up making the mistake of thinking that her friend, Blake (who Dom is also friends with), was in a relationship with Alecia and almost backs off but finds out the truth before it's too late. He decides to pursue her but some helpful advice from his sisters helps him realize that he has to do more than just ask her out to gain her trust.

Dom starts making it his goal to do things to let her know he actually cares and wasn't just looking to get laid. Alecia has trouble resisting and doesn't for long. Of course as soon as she does let go with Dom, she freaks out and thinks things are going to go to hell. It takes some effort and interference from a well-meaning friend to head the issue off before it causes too much of a problem. Dom makes progress but he has to tread cautiously because although Alecia agreed to give a relationship a try with Dom, she's still very skittish and Dom fears her bolting. They do well together for the most part and Alecia fits in with the other women in the family so things start looking pretty good. There are a few issues though and the main one is mostly a misunderstanding but it causes some major repercussions for Dom and Alecia. Things are messed up for a bit but thankfully some interfering friends and family arrange things so Alecia and Dom talk things out and the story ends with the start to their HEA.

I enjoyed this story very much. Alecia was a pretty good heroine. She had her issues but I liked her and never found her to be annoying. Dom was a good hero (except for 1 bout of relationship dumbassedness) and I liked him. Together they made a great couple and rounded out the Montgomery/Williams clan nicely. Overall, this was a very good story and finish to the series. I'd recommend this story (and series). :D

* note - The book was from both Alecia and Dom's PoVs. The parts from Alecia's PoV had a female narrator and the parts from Dom's PoV had a male narrator. Both narrators did a pretty good job. I was a bit disappointed that Dom's accent wasn't heavier and at first I thought it was a problem with the narrators but later I realized it wasn't because the book mentioned that because of Dom's time in the US, his Italian accent wasn't very noticeable unless he was speaking Italian.

Great series!

Loved Dominic and Alicia's story! I liked how both Dominic and Alicia were welcomed into a great loving family. I wish this series didn't have to end, but this was a nice way to end it.
Loved the emotion both narrators put into the story to make it come alive.

Forever with Me

I absolutely love Kristen Proby's With Me in Seattle series, and Forever with Me was a fantastic ending to this series! I loved Dominic and Alecia together! Eric Michael Summerer and Jennifer Mack portrayed them perfectly!
