Q: Do you like music while reading or silence?
I adore that each chapter in these books has its own song! Totally recommend listening to them while you read them cause they were written while the song was played on loop.

Fantastic! Superb! Another amazing book to add to the series!

We met Rooney in the first book, the beautiful upbeat best friend of Willa. We see later her attraction to Ryder’s reclusive artist brother, Axel.

Oh this book!
Rooney needs a break from law school to handle/recover/adjust with her chronic illness she hasn’t “burdened” anyone with and Willa offered the Bergman families A-frame.

Axel has a cabin near the A-frame and happens to be there but as the family’s cabin is in need of repairs he offers her his cabin while he sleeps in a tent outside.
The chemistry between these two is intense. So much so that he stays away from her on purpose. He doesn’t think she would want to live the life he’s comfortable living or that she would want him.

Rooney we find out was a surprise pregnancy so has felt unwanted and has tried to prove that she deserves love her whole life. Oh God my heart! I may over love my babies a bit, but I would never want them to feel any sort of feelings other than unconditional love feelings from me. To have those thoughts of negativity in your brain’s arsenal on your bad days is the worst.

There may be an marriage of convenience for a will which is the only way you could wrangle these two together but I’ll let you read about that.

This book made me cry, gave me so many goosebumps, made my health issues just life and not what defined me, and oh wow it turned me on lol!

Being accepted fully for all your little imperfections is beautiful. And no one is perfect, we all have some little or big thing, visible or invisible happening. We don’t share these things unless we are comfortable or have found an area of like minds or bodies. To have books representing us is the definition of romance to me.

I say US as in the non perfect woman with the perfect body, boobs and miscommunication issues 😉 Btw at one time I was trying to get my sister to read a romance and her only feedback was when do they go to the bathroom? 😂😂
If you need a sensitivity reader for migraines or misophonia, ( apparently it’s genetic and 23&me said I have the markers 😩 oh Goodness it’s bad) I’m your girl!

Synopsis:

Cozy up for a heartfelt, humorous, sizzling slow-burn in this marriage of convenience romance about finding love—and home—in the most unlikely of places.​

Axel

Rooney Sullivan is sunshine incarnate. Warm, bright, always smiling, she’s everything I’m not and the last person I have any business desiring. Desperate to hide a hopeless attraction, I’ve done everything possible to keep my distance…until a charades game gone wrong brought that to a grinding halt. 

Since then, steering clear of Rooney has been impossible. In a matter of months, she’s kissed me speechless, commandeered my art career, and infiltrated not only my dreams but my home. The woman who was once avoidable has become the last thing I needed: temptingly within reach.

Rooney

Axel Bergman is a gorgeous grump who doesn’t have the time of day for me. Thankfully, I’ve kept my crush under wraps…well, until I kissed him. Charades got away from me, okay? It was an accident! I haven’t seen him since, which is for the best. My life is a mess, and the last thing I need is to embarrass myself further with the man who avoids me like that’s his job rather than painting modern masterpieces.

It seems the universe, however, has a different plan. When Axel and I unexpectedly find our paths—and problems—converging, a marriage of convenience proves the perfect solution. At least, until I’m facing my most serious problem yet: a once-loveless marriage of convenience that’s inconveniently become a love match, after all.

With You Forever is a sunshine and grump, marriage of convenience romance about a shy artist on the autism spectrum*, and a smiley smartypants who has a chronic IBD. Complete with combustible cooking lessons, interfering family and friends, and a steamy slow burn, this standalone is the fourth in a series of novels about a Swedish-American family of five brothers, two sisters, and their wild adventures as they each find happily ever after.

*This is an #OwnVoices story for its portrayal of autism by an autistic author.
