The Forever Collection #7
Forever with the Bouncer
I’m done with men, they’re all trouble. Even the tall, muscled, tattooed coworker that I’m in love with.
Roni is happy being single and independent. After an ex used her name to run up thousands in debt, every dime she earns pouring drinks goes toward paying off the money she owes. She definitely doesn’t have time for the bouncer at the bar. No matter how hot he is or how much she adores his daughter.
Nate’s been burned before. Starting a family and settling down is all he ever wanted, but here he is, a single dad to a little girl and working as a bouncer. No matter how hard he tries to get her attention, the gorgeous spunky woman behind the bar keeps avoiding his gaze.
Can Roni and Nate get past their own stubbornness to find love, or will the past leave them drinking alone?

Okay, so honestly, out of all the books so far, this one is more like most other romances in that the insta-love is at least not between someone they just picked up on the side of the road or just met. The two main characters may have both felt the instant attraction, but they’ve at least been working together for a bit before this story starts. But I do love single dad Nate. He is perfect. Like I said, this one is probably my favorite of them all and that’s why I gave it 4.5 stars! I think this might be the last one in the series. And it was a great way to wrap it all up if it is!

4.5 Star review of Forever With The Bouncer (Forever Collection #7) by Allie York
Forever With The Bouncer was a great addition to the series and is Roni and Nate’s story. Nate has had feelings for his co worker Roni for a long time but doesn’t know that she feels the same way. Once he finds out though, all bets are off and he is determined to show her that they could be good together.
The attraction that sizzles between them was steamy and their banter witty. I really liked both these characters and the story flowed well and both Roni and Nate were easy to relate to and I was cheering for them to get their happily ever after.
Although a quick read Allie York packed a lot into this entertaining and well written story.

Forever with the Bouncer by Allie York
Forever Collection #7
Another wonderful insta-lust fantasy romance with a HEA. I can see all of them collected into one volume to keep by the bedside to read before going to sleep. Fun fairytale with all the feels. Loved it!
What I liked:
* Nate: single parent, father to four-year-old Maisy, military veteran, bouncer at O’Malley’s, has been eying Roni for six months – he knows what he wants
* Roni Clark: bartender, had dreams but had to defer them, has her eye on Nate but doesn’t feel she is right for him…little does she know!
* Maisy: sweet little girl unless she is being ornery…great with her father and with Maisy
* The motorcycle rescue and subsequent kiss
* The way once the ice was broken the two were together pretty much ever after
* The way Roni cared for Nate and Nate took care of Roni
* The open communication between the two
* That they seemed equally matched and good for one another
* That Nate’s mother was there to help out
* Seeing Drake and Kat and how they were doing
* Wondering and hoping there might be more books in the series…or another similar series to look forward to in the future.
What I didn’t like:
* Sammy: the flaky woman that gave birth to Maisy
* Roni’s ex showing up and wondering WHAT she saw in him…and how he did her wrong
* Wondering if Nate’s father ever came around…would have liked to have heard whether or not he did.
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes
Thank you to the author and IndiePenPR for the Arc – This is my honest review.

Nate and Roni may have been attracted to each other from jump, but they sure took a while letting the other know, much less truly acting on it! It took a broken down car, a miscommunication, and a fight to bring these two together…and yet, it worked out perfectly. Of course, Nate had to convince Roni that he really meant every word he said, which was amusing because he won in the end. And boy, did Roni understand his intentions by then!
This series has been full of short, entertaining reads that each offer their own twist on how he couples start out. So if you need a light read or a series of them, look no further than these books.

This is definitely my favourite out of the series. First, because it's Nate's story and I have been anticipating his story. Second, I can definitely feel the chemistry and tension between him and Roni. And I think it's because they've known each other for 6 months and there's a lot of flirty banter and glances between them It's just taken them a bit to act on their feelings. But you know with his series, once they do, they went all in! I loved it and I loved Nate's daughter. They're adorable and entertaining to read.

Seriously, hands down one of the best books EVER!!!
I read this in an hour, as I couldn't put it down once I started on the first chapter.
Roni and Nate work together at the bar. They've been off limits so to speak with each other, without the other even knowing about how they really felt towards each other.
But then one day they couldn't hold back any more. Roni swore it was gonna be a one off, and Nate knew it was going to be Forever.
I loved the banter between these two, and OMG the chemist literally jumped out from the kindle it was SO HOT HOT HOT!!!
Nate was so much more than I thought he would be, and what a little surprise by having a daughter!?
I also love the control he had in the bedroom without being too crazy and how he could give it over to Roni as well!
OMFG! Chapter 8. Seriously chapter 8. Allie. OMFG!
Some of my fave quotes:
1. Do you understand? You don't take other men home, you don't let other men touch you. - OMG! SWOON MOMENT!
2. I can see her face lighting up when I tell her that she gets to keep Roni forever. - AWE!!!

This is a great addition to The Forever Collection, it may be a quick read but it stills packs a mighty punch as we get to know Nate and Roni. Working together should mean a relationship is off limits but Nate has had feelings for Roni for some time and it’s seems they cover their feeling by feuding and we all know there is a very fine line between love and hate but once Nate realises she feels the same way he is determined to win her over and show her how good they could be together……
A quick read that’s full of witty banter and sizzling chemistry, it has adorable characters and it’s an entertaining read that I highly recommend.

Nate and Roni work together and have harbored secret feelings for each other for a cool minute but neither copped to those secret feelings. She ends up getting stranded, and all of a sudden, things take a sexy turn, as there's no doubt that they definitely had chemistry in spades this whole time. Nate was willing to go the distance to make her his, but Roni took a bit longer until Nate finally showed her that she could trust his words which ended up being highly entertaining more than once to be honest. That means I found myself laughing a great deal while trying to yell these two people together as I was fully invested in this short & sexy story. I LOVE this whole series and it gets me upset to think it will end at some point since I'm so addicted. Forever with the Bounder is a short(ish) read that will have you smiling quite a bit so don't pass it up! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Forever with the Bouncer is the seventh story in the Forever series. This one is Roni and Nate's story. It's by far my favorite of the series. That is definitely due to the fact the Roni and Nate had known each other for about 6 months or so before hooking up. While I don't mind love at first sight, the previous stories were a bit too fast from meeting to HEA for my taste. I like them to have a little time before they end up together for life. Their being coworkers just made their fall more believable. I loved their story. I also loved Nate as a dad. He was too cute with his daughter. I definitely recommend this one.

3 1/2 Stars
Overall I really enjoyed Forever with the Bouncer, I thought the couple was adorable, they had a cute love story, so overall it was good. My issue with the book is that there were a few plot points that were brought up, made to seem important but then never mentioned again. For example they alluded to Roni's ex really hurting her and he's the reason she doesn't trust men. It was never explained what he did that hurt her, he even made an appearance in the story but there was no conclusion to it other than Roni and Nate kicking him out of the bar. As I said over all I thought it was a great book but it's not perfect.

This is book #7 in Ms. York's The Forever Collection and a great addition to the series. Nate and Roni have been attracted to each other for a long time, but weren't quick to let each other know. Once Nate finds out Roni feels the same way about him, then all bets are off and he will do anything to convince her they belong together. It takes some challenges and miscommunications before all is settled between the two. The chemistry they share is off the charts and their banter is so entertaining. I really enjoyed these two together and I am just loving this series!

Stephannie's 5 Star Review:
Roni and Nate work together at the bar. Neither knows how the other really feels about the other. But one time they couldn't hold back and their feeling turned into a passion. Roni thought it was a one-time thing but Nate knew it was going to be forever. This was a sweet and beautiful short story full of sparks and chemistry. These two have an amazing banter back and forth. They two sizzle and spark throughout the story. It was a great read.

Nate has been attracted to his co-worker Roni for a while so once he learns that she feels the same way it changes everything, and he is determined to show her the only place she belongs is with him.
Roni may have feelings for Nate, but he has other people counting on him and doesn’t believe that she isn’t what he needs but she is about to find out how wrong she is.
Sweet and sexy Nate’s alpha ways are exactly what Roni needs in her life.

Too fast for my taste
This may have been one of my least favorite’s of the Forever series. I really enjoyed the characters but their timeline was just too sped through. They meet, long for each for 6 months, have sex, insta-family. I get the theme is quick forever romances but can we build relationships with substance and not cave men. Nate was great but clearly I have control issues. It was a quick read and if you’re into high handed loving men, this will be your jam!

The feels and swoon are very potent here. I really enjoyed Nate and Roni's story. These two do a whole lot of simmering and sizzling as their story unfolds. The story is fun, the writing was nicely done, the pacing is fast, and the characters were easy to fall for and invest in. A very good read. I am electing to post a forthright review.

Delve into the heart with all it's twists and turns. York speaks the language of love. With humor and heart The Forever Collection entrances readers. Forever with the Bouncer continues that legacy. Roni and Nate are as stubborn as they are endearing. From charming to frustrating to tempting, this feuding duo packs quite the punch.
December 12, 2021
This series has been a entertaining shorts. This was one was just as great to read as all the others in the Forever Series. This story has a great flow and wonderful build. Nate and Roni, take a while to acknowledge their attraction. The humor and banter between these two was definitely entertaining.

Single dad story
This steamy story is single dad meets girl at work. The ups and downs both characters have to deal with before coming together in this quick love story is great. I love the relationship between Ron and Masiy. The chemistry between Hate and Ron is hot. But the family vibe from all three is the best.

I am loving this series. Nate and Roni story was amazing. Roni was trying to overcome the mess her ex left her. She likes Nate and his daughter but she doesn't want to have sink him into her problems. This book was so fun to read I can't wait for more.

Nate is the ultimate DILF and when he finds out his co-worker Nina has a crush on him. He is determined to make her his, and with a cute kid, plenty of steam and no angst. This was an enjoyable, fun, quick read. That I'd happily recommend to others.

I was so excited for this book and I absolutely loved it and could not put it down. I really really hope this is not the end of this series.
I never thought that Nate was a single Dad... oh my .... ovaries explode, maga swoonage,sexy, big, tattooed, strong, caring, DILF... he is everything every woman dreams about in a man.
Roni is the tough strong independent woman who has been hurt before. But ever since she has been hired at the bar she has had a strong attraction to Nate, but never felt she was good enough. But once he finally gets his hands on her he will never let her go, she is his future his happiness that makes his life complete.
