Have you heard about the one where Prince Charming falls for the Ugly Stepsister?Darby Livingston is a survivor. If she can survive breast cancer, she can survive the humiliation of accidently flashing her pink panties to a stranger. A sexy doesn’t believe in fairy tales stranger called Reid. Reid is the key to making Darby’s amateur theater production of Cinderella a success, so she’ll swallow … Cinderella a success, so she’ll swallow her pride and beg, bribe, or use her feminine wiles to secure his help, because the play’s donation to a cancer charity means everything to her.
Reid Hudson is used to being judged and ridiculed for his ability to sew amazing wedding gowns for Invercargill’s boutique bridal shop, Next Stop Vegas. Whatever. He’s a man who knows who he is and what he wants in life. But on the list of things Reid Hudson doesn’t want… A) To be roped into costume-making for a cast of wanna-be divas. B) To discover an off-the-charts attraction with the play’s Ugly Stepsister, Darby. And C) To fall in love with that feisty and funny woman who has no guarantee of a happy ever after.
Along with her terrier side-kick, Duke, can Darby convince nude celebs Reid that if the shoe/slipper fits, maybe she’s The One he’s been looking for all along?

Five starts don’t do justice to this amazing, powerful, soulful and beautiful love and live’s story. Darby and Reid will make you laugh out loud, cry out loud and fall in love all over again. Beacuse the greatest risk to die it’s to live. And that’s what Reid will show Darby with his love for this beautiful, funny, strong woman who survived a breast cancer four years ago but who is afraid to fall in love and be the cause of grief and pain to someone for loving her back. I couldn’t put the book down until the end. Thank you TRACEy for this wonderful love’s story. I’ m sure it was a tough one to write.
I’ve said over and over again, this author absolutely slays me with her books. Every single one of them so well written, it just sucks you in from the moment you start reading til the very last word.
Love Everlasting deals with a pretty heavy subject, breast cancer, and for those of us who have loved ones and good friends who are currently fighting the brave battle, it really hits home, but damn if it wasn’t yet another incredible masterpiece from this author. I literally fell in love with this couple. Reid is the wedding planner/seamstress that has you squirming in your seat, there’s no question about his manhood, he’s sex on a stick, and you just melt with his presence and tragic past. Darby is the vet/local theater actor/breast cancer survivor, who is starring in the local production of Cinderella. The cast needs someone to make their costumes for this very special event, and Reid is just the person Darby talks into doing it, but there’s a reason Reid accepts, he’s hot over Darcy. This couple is probably one of my favorites, and that’s saying a lot given I love all of the characters this author comes up with, but these two are something special. The fear one has with cancer, any type really, always leaves doubt when it comes to love. Will the person stick with the, through thick and thin, will they still love me when this horrible disease takes everything decent from my body, will I be loved again, all of it comes out in this very emotional, funny, and heartbreaking story. I literally could not put it down, it’s that good. Secondary characters are equally incredible, especially the Boobie Sisters! Loved all of Darby’s special needs animals, everything just came together in a nice neat little package that you will absolutely love.
