“Sophie Love’s ability to impart magic to her readers is exquisitely wrought in powerfully evocative phrases and descriptions….FOR NOW AND FOREVER is the perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It’s a delightful recommendation for romance readers … looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads.”
–Midwest Book Review (Diane Donovan)
“FOR NOW AND FOREVER is a very well written novel, describing the struggle of a woman (Emily) to find her true identity. The author did an amazing job with the creation of the characters and her description of the environment. The romance is there, but not overdosed. Kudos to the author for this amazing start of a series that promises to be very entertaining.”
–Books and Movies Reviews, Roberto Mattos
Emily Mitchell, 35, living and working in New York City, has struggled through a string of failed relationships. When her boyfriend of 7 years takes her out for their long-awaited anniversary dinner, Emily is sure that this time will be different, that this time she will finally get the ring.
When he gives her a small bottle of perfume instead, Emily knows the time has come to break up with him—and for her entire life to have a fresh start.
Reeling from her unsatisfying, high-pressure life, Emily decides she needs a change. She decides on a whim to drive to her father’s abandoned home on the coast of Maine, a sprawling, historic house where she’d spent magical summers as a child. But the house, long-neglected, is in dire need of repair, and the winter is no time to be in Maine. Emily hasn’t been there in 20 years, when a tragic accident changed her sister’s life and shattered her family. Her parents divorced, her father disappeared, and Emily was never able to bring herself to step foot in that house again.
Now, for some reason, with her life reeling, Emily feels drawn to the only childhood place she ever knew. She plans on going just for a weekend, to clear her head. But something about the house, its numerous secrets, its memories of her father, its oceanfront allure, its small-town setting—and most of all, its gorgeous, mysterious caretaker—doesn’t want to let her leave. Can she find the answers she’s been looking for here, in the most unexpected place of all?
Can a weekend become a lifetime?
FOR NOW AND FOREVER is book #1 in the debut of a dazzling new romance series that will make you laugh, make you cry, will keep you turning pages late into the night—and will make you fall in love with romance all over again.
Book #2 will be available soon.

Great story
Nice story but first one is free and then it continues in 8 books. Didn’t finish the series.
This book kept me very interested………..
Keeps a person in suspense!
This book could benefit from some good editing. There were many grammatical errors as well as things that just did’t fit. For instance, one day there was a blizzard in Maine, then the next day Emily talked of walking across the green lawn. That’s not likely to happen during the winter in Maine, especially the day after a snow storm that supposedly dropped a few feet of snow. Another error, the time Emily answered the door to find Daniel, backlit by the porch light with a halo of moths flying in the light….it’s winter….There would be no moths flying in Maine. So, other than those and other similar issues, it is a nice basis for a story. It would have been nice to wrap up things with her parents, and also have more debth of feeling between Emily and Daniel. Not sure why, but there seemed to be something missing ….not enough spark.
I love it Sophia is an amazing author
just didn’t like the H or h.
Did read the book, but did not like it.
I enjoyed this book very much! It was a quick read that keeps you interested in what’s going to happen next. Nice romantic story without going overboard! Looking forward to the next book.
This series is excellent. Wonderful characters and fantastic story. I highly recommend!
love the book
A great little love story. Getting ready to start the next book.
I have read all the books in this series and have pre ordered the new book coming out soon! I have saved these books to re-read they are so good! This author is a very talented!
Little far fetched. Wrong clothes; old car pushed to its limits; just unrealistic.
If you like the work of Nicholas Sparks, you’ll like this. It leaves you wanting to know more about what happens to the charactors.
It was okay. It wasn’t exciting.
