Love Me Forever

by Beverly Ovalle, Magic Wand Editing (Editor), Sarah Cass (Illustrator)

Staff Sergeant Liam McGregor doesn’t know what hit him. Sent home to recuperate from an IED blast, Liam is stuck in a wheelchair and is sentenced to surgery and physical therapy before he can walk again. A physical therapist, Abby Worth has loved Liam McGregor since she first noticed boys. It’s too bad he’s her brother’s best friend. She has always been firmly put in the baby sister zone no matter how hard she tried to catch his eye. Liam sees Abby and when she goes home with him doesn’t know how he can keep his hands off of her. She’s now old enough to touch and the fire in his blood and the combination of pain killers make him lose control. Abby can’t help but take what she’s always wanted. Together they have to overcome their fear of being left behind to grab what they have always wanted-each other.

[Tamara]

Love Me Forever is a fabulous story of a second chance at love. Abby's childhood crush never faded and when fate brings Liam back into her life, she finally has the chance to show him she's all grown up.
The love scenes are hot, the family banter is hilarious, and Liam's journey back to physical and mental health is heartwarming.
I would highly recommend this realistic and smexy Military romance.

Abby is a physical therapist who is asked to home care a Marine that has broken legs and arm from a bomb that killed his buddy. He also has shrapnel wounds. She accepts the position that will have her on a farm for 3 weeks or more. When she arrives at the centre to be introduced to her charge - low and behold it is her teenage crush Liam - her older brother's best friend. Liam is not sure if this is a good idea to have Abby come and help out, as it is going to be hard to camouflage his feelings for her if she is around 24/7.

Here we have a sweet story of a young woman determined to have a career but still wants to find love - but no one holds a candle to her teen crush of Liam. Liam is a career Marine who is also ready to find love and settle down, but its hard to find a girl that lives up to his standards, that being Abby.

This is a short book with a lovely story of finding love with your teen crush - even if he is your brother's best friend. I enjoyed this story, its alluring and charming. It is a quick read with no cliff hanger or angst and to be honest, it lacks a little depth but for a rainy day fill in, pick this up and give it a go.


I received a copy for an honest review.

4 1/2 stars

Sometimes young love lasts forever, and that is the case with Abby and Liam. Abby has crushed on Liam since she was 13 years old. She never grew out of the love she had for him. Liam was one of her brothers best friends and much older than she was. Liam did the only thing he could, he walked away and joined the service because he knew that she was too young at the time, but that didn't mean that he stopped having feelings for her as well.

Many years later, at the age of 30, Liam gets hurt overseas and comes back home in need of a physical therapist. As luck would have it, Abby is assigned to his case. Feelings get rekindled in this book and we get to watch the journey and growth of their love.

We get to witness Liam's sharp wit, snarkiness and playfulness as he learns to become independent again. Loved how Abby was tough as nails when she needed to be, to help push Liam to his limits.

The characters were well written, their dialogue flowed nicely and the descriptions were done well. There was one part towards the beginning I am confused about and it did not add to the story, (a character we were sort of introduced to that never showed back up again). Maybe there is going to be more books and this will be a series and she will show up there, but if that is the case, it doesn't make sense to introduce in the beginning of this book and she never show up again. Did it take away from the story? Not really, but it was unnecessary filler.

All in all, a great read.

This book was a great romance. I always look for those when searching for books to read. The author did a wonderful job weaving and developing the story. I want to read more books by this author if possible. I love discovering new authors with this group.

~~~~~~~~~~Dee's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~

A story of second chance love for Liam and Abby. When Abby was thirteen, her heart secretly belonged to Liam. Also secretly, Liam loved her but he was "too old" for her so he joined the Marines to remove himself from temptation. Years later, he is sent home on medical leave to heal broken bones. Abby "just happened" to be assigned as his physical therapist. See how Cupid works? What we have is a beautiful, sweet story of two people moving past their hesitancy, rethinking their career plans and moving into the arms of Love.

This is a sweet fun read. The first crush in a young girls life sticks with you forever. Sometimes it is the person you compare all other potential relationships to. Occasionally your crush had been crushing on you as well and held that flame for years. This is what happened with Abby and Liam. Liam was the best friend of Abby's older brother. Abby was the annoying little tag a long until one day she grew up and they both started noticing each other. They couldn't act on their new feelings because of the age difference. As life often does, it brought the friends back together many years later. The spark is still there, but where do we go from here.

I recommend this book, it is sweet, sexy, fun and put a huge smile on my face.

I give this a 5 out of 5 fangs

There's a lot of excess details that add nothing to the story. For example in the first chapter we meet Abby, we hear her planning a game night, then going to buy cupcakes for it and meeting a girl that looks really familiar- but she can't place, then inviting said girl to game night. There is no mention of the girl, game night, or any of the characters that were to be there, for the rest of the story. Just details that don't add anything.

What a sweet and tender story! Just the kind you want for that quick read on a rainy afternoon when you want to curl up with that great love story that you can finish in an afternoon. I fell in love with the kids and was cheering for them from the beginning. Thanks for writing this story!!

I was given this to read for an honest review!

I received this book for an honest review. I thought this was a really nice read. Liam and Abby are long time friends. He comes home from service wounded and she is his therapist. They've secretly been in love with each other from their teen years but the age difference has held Liam back. Now they are both of age and things heat up with this reunion. I would definitely recommend this book to other readers.
