Love was a lie. After living in darkness for so long, I’d despaired of ever being blessed by its grace. Until I met him. The man who showed me hatred doesn’t always win. The man who made me his boy. My Daddy, for now and forever… together that represents safety and comfort, and he knows that Daddy will keep him for always. Seth’s trust in him has also left him feeling strangely curious. To his surprise, he discovers he’s eager to explore new kinks.
Malcolm now knows Seth was meant for him.
The curse of being alone has lifted, and Malcolm is thankful every day that he once again has love in his life. But Seth is more than just another boy. Seth is the other part of Malcolm he hadn’t realized was missing. In addition, his boy is becoming more open and adventurous in all ways. How could he be more fortunate?
Then unexpected tragedy strikes, and both men must face that forever sometimes means starting over…
Note: Now and Forever is the final book in Malcolm and Seth’s journey of love, healing and redemption in the Father series trilogy. The first two books, In the Name of the Father and For the Love of a Boy should be read prior to this one. However, you can be assured that none of the books in the Father series end on a cliffhanger and that this age gap, Daddy/boy series with lots of hurt/comfort contains a sweet forever after.

This series was amazing from start to glorious finish! Everything about the characters just clicked from the get go and the beautiful writing was an icing on the cake. I loved how the emotions were always at the forefront of the story and how the author has managed to do justice to their complicated backgroud. Must read!
This is book three of a beautiful story of two men that are hurting, lost in life that find love, but it’s not been an easy path. Malcomb thought he had his one true love, his forever boy but death took him long ago. he just goes through the motions of life until one day he finds Seth, broken and alone and something calls out to him. Getting Seth to trust him as a friend wasn’t easy, but showing Seth he needed more was even harder after what Seth had been through in his short years.
Now they have been through a lot and are well established but there still are steps to showing Seth a normal life away from his evil father and church.
There are strings that get tied up quite beautifully in this book and I felt quite satisfied with the end. (however, I would always be open to seeing more Sethaand Malcomb as Seth gets older)
There is a bit of a tragic twist that makes the story even more sweet and romantic in the end. Great way to wrap it up!
So if you like heartgripping romance, lots of feels, Daddy kink ( very well written), Hurt/comfort, a second chance at life, large age gaps and an allover sweet romance with lots of heat this is for you!
Seth and Malcom continue to be amazing characters that immerse you in their story immediately. Their emotional wounds are healing, their trust is leading them into deeper explorations of certain areas and thing seem to be working out in the way they and the reader expects. Then, there is a real plot surprise that I bet you won’t see coming. It is wonderfully done. I love being surprised by a where a book goes. Nick J. Russo continues to be one of my favorite narrators. He brings everything you want to his performance here.
I got partway through this audiobook for review and went searching for the writer. Then I begged, oh how I begged for the privilege, honor, and pleasure of listening to and reviewing the first two books of this series. Before one dives into the book, Morticia Knight warns readers of possible triggers in the book involving references to past child abuse. The relationship between daddy (Malcolm) and boy (Seth) is a loving one that focuses most on healing, though the erotic kinky stuff is there for enjoyment. By developing love and trust in Malcolm, Seth feels safe enough to explore new things that are delightful to the reader. The reading is handled beautifully by Nick J. Russo, one of the absolute best in the business. He voices each man in a definitive, meaningful way that never leaves the listener uncertain which character is speaking or thinking. But Morticia doesn’t let us off easy as Malcolm and Seth encounter a challenge in their forever lives but it is resolved beautifully. I thank the author most sincerely for the sheer beauty of this series. She is DEFINITELY one to watch!
Malcolm and Seth Forever (an audio review)
I was happy to start this book after just having finished the previous one. Seth and Malcolm were fresh in my mind. Their pain, their joy, their love…and compassion. Each man has tragedy in his past, and each man is starting to move forward into the future. Now they have each other, and that makes all the difference in the world.
But life is not yet all chocolates and roses. Seth’s past still hangs over him. He escaped a horrible conversion camp, but his father and the rest of the staff haven’t been adequately held to account…yet. My hope was that loose thread would be solved in this book and it was.
Things are finally looking like they’re getting into a nice rhythm when tragedy strikes. Nothing to do with Seth and Malcolm as a couple, but something that is going to disrupt their lives and challenge how they’ve perceived their relationship. The Daddy/boy dynamic is still there, but there are moments when Seth needs to be the one offering comfort. That’s if he’s up to the task.
I knew I was going to get a happy ending, but I didn’t correctly predict the direction it might take. And I have to say Malcolm’s parents were amazing. We should all be so lucky to be blessed with understanding and generous people in our lives.
I’m sad to see the series end, but ended perfectly so that was worth something. And I will say Nick J. Russo did an awesome job narrating the series. Worth a listen, to be sure.
Such a sweet HEA for Daddy Malcolm and his boy Seth.
This third instalment in the Father trilogy ties up all the loose ends and finally gives these two beautiful men, whom we rooted for from book 1 the happiness and contentment they so much deserve.
Now and Forever is the third book in the Father series and does a wonderful job concluding this touching and romantic series. This series should be read in order since each book builds off of the events in the previous books. Malcom and Seth are such a sweet couple who’ve been through so much. This third book introduced some new conflicts that test the characters, but everything comes together in the end. I really love the sweetness and tenderness of the relationship between Malcolm and Seth. Their story made my heart feel so warm and fluffy. This was a great ending to a beautiful series.
Book 3 Fathers series, not a standalone.
Seth is still a bundle of nerves and doubt, but Daddy Malcolm is taking him to finally meet his parents.
Seth’s trust of parents is still fragile, as his father and their church representatives are in prison awaiting trial. He has so much going on in that brain of his that his Daddy has to do daily spankings to keep him grounded, he has such a good daddy.
Things take a drastic turn on their relationship, and their livelihood will they get through this major incident and continue their daddy/boy relationship.
This book has an age gap, daddy/boy relationship, hurt/comfort and a Happy ever after.
I have to praise Nick J Russo for his brilliant narration of this book. I did have to speed up, but that’s normal for me. I read at speed 1.40 on audible.

4 stars for the story
5 stars for the narration
Not a standalone. This was the 3rd and final book for this couple. I liked this book better than the second but not as much as the first. I absolutely love both the MCs and love them as a couple. They had great chemistry. I enjoyed reading their entire journey and glad they got their HEA. I found this book interesting the whole way through and thought that what was written was written well. The problem was that it could of easily have been twice as long. There are so many time laspses whether its 9 months later in the begining and then a week later, a month later, a year later. So much time that was vital and I would of liked to have heard about. At least more than we got. In this book we get 1 sexy scene at the very end that’s it. There’s lots of mentions of stuff done and how enhanced their kinks have become but all off page. The most disappointing was waiting this long for their HEA and then finding out the wedding is also off page. I expected so much more.
