This is a polarizing, atypical romance book. It has toxicity, a male lead with his head up his rear end for half the book, it is contentious and divisive among readers. It is also the first book ever written by Madison Myers, and is her debut novel. If you prefer a more “normal” romance storyline, please check out her other Rekindling the Flame or The Roommate Syndrome. This particular one is not for everyone. Please read with caution. ___ What if what you’ve been searching for has been right in front of you all along? And what if, by the time you realize that, you’ve f**ked it all up beyond repair? Aaron and Gemma have been best friends since middle school. Long before he was becoming a household name on the big screen and taking home models, he was everything to one girl. When he finally realizes she’s all he’s ever needed, will it be too late? Has she moved on, bloomed into who she was always meant to be in his absence? Is the damage he’s done irreparable? Or is their forever fated, unavoidable, and the only thing that really matters? Emotions are messy, mistakes are made, and a lifetime of trust is shattered. Always My Forever is the story of how one man took the best thing that ever happened to him for granted, how he plummeted to rock bottom, and what he did to try to win her back. Gemma I can take a hint. He’s never going to see me as anything but a friend. It’s time to give up on what’ll never be, and move on. The fact that he’s not just my best friend, he’s also my boss (and did I mention, on the cover of every magazine I pass by) isn’t helping me get over him, but a new boyfriend just might. Aaron Stone has been my entire world for as long as I can remember. But when he crosses the line, makes me feel worthless at the only thing I’ve ever been good at, I’ve been made a fool for the last time. I’m determined to build a life without him. His will crumble without me. But Aaron? He’s not walking out of my life. And he’s not letting me get away from his, either. He’s back, and he’s got plans to stay there, regardless of how badly I want to shut him out for good. Aaron How did I miss the fact that she is what kept my life going, kept me going? How did I miss the fact that she was made for me? Now that I’ve seen how it should’ve always been, there’s no going back. I might be a mess, but there’s one thing I know for sure, and that is she belongs with me. I just need to remind her of it, once I earn her trust back. I might’ve caught on to what she’s always known ten years too late, but she’s not getting away from us. We’re forever, and I’ll do whatever it takes to show her that I’ll never take her for granted again. Even if she ends up being the only thing I have left at the end of it. ___________________________________ Childhood friends to lovers Slow burn She fell first but he fell harder Celebrity love interest Boy obsessed Groveling Soul mates No third act breakup ___________________________________ About Always My Forever Always My Forever is a slow burn, childhood friends to lovers romance.
