Summary: Not your typical romance
Review: In her novel "Forever Yours," Donna Laird creates more then your typical romance novel. The reader is immediately throw into the chaotic world of the characters and made to love or hate them. As the novel progress, it is proven that first impressions are often wrong.
After a mishap in the love department that leads to a misunderstanding with her father, actress Samantha Kane finds herself fleeing home for the open opportunities of New York. She was looking to escape and finally make it as an actress. What Samantha didn't count on was falling in love.
Samantha takes the lead in a new play eagerly until she meets the writer, Jake Alexander. Tensions between the two build as they try to work together. Samantha, however, is unable to hold off the man for long as they end up together in one steamy night of passion. The events that follow their lovemaking change everything that Samantha and Jake had planned.
Laird has created a world where the reader is part of the story. You can feel the emotions running through the core of every character. The unexpected twists keep the plot interesting and more enthralling than a typical romance. "Forever Yours" is not just about love or passionate romance. It is about people trying their best to keep all relationships in tact. I highly recommend it.
