425 Madison is an amazing place. The tenants are wonderful, the atmosphere says happiness is found here, and the people who visit seem to fall in love and never leave. With each standalone book in this series, I meet a new wonderful couple that come together, love each other, and fight for each other. There is respect, trust, and love in each relationship and even through their issues they seem to know what each other really need.
This is the story of Bianca and Mick. They’ve known each other since they were young, they were more like sister/brother, but their feelings have always been there. Bianca took a different path and it took her in a direction away from Mick. Yet, she knows that no matter what happens Mick will be there for her and he proves just how much he is there for her when her husband dies. He steps up, protects her, and shows her how wonderful she really is and how a real man treats his woman when she really needs his help.
This is a friends to lovers story and it is written perfectly. Their friendship is never at risk and when they take it a step farther it comes together as it should. Whether you are new to 425 Madison or have read all the books in this series Must Love Forever is a must-read book.
Heartbreakingly beautiful, yet endlessly sweet. Filled with the kind of love that sweeps you off your feet. A true friends to lovers masterpiece packed an emotional punch. There are so many ways I could try to describe just how magnificent Must Love Forever is and none of them seem good enough to truly encompass all that this book is. Leigh Lennon has once again outdone herself with this book.
Having grown up together Mick and Bia have a connection that runs deep. Childhood enemies, growing into best friends with families that are so close they’re really more like one big family. But the biggest connection is how in love they both are with each other while both having hidden that fact. The road they take to finally get to their HEA is filled with rocky twists and turns but through it all that love they have outshines even the darkest moments.
Leigh Lennon has written another award winning, second chance love story that deserves way more then 5 stars!!
Mick and Bia have known each other forever since there parents are the best of friends so when Mick gets the call that there has been an accident he drops everything to rush to her side. He will do anything and everything for his best friend and love of his life no matter what.
Mick and Bianca’s story is one that pulled on my heartstrings very early on because I saw the signs. The signs that not only that Bianca was hopelessly in love with her best friend but she thought he didn’t feel the same so she went on to marry someone else, but that that someone had abused her and destroyed her self esteem.
This story for me personally was a little hard to read because I had a relationship like Bianca’s, one that everyone on the outside thinks is perfect but no one knows what went on behind the closed doors. Abuse comes in many forms and just because you don’t see physical signs doesn’t mean someone isn’t being abused and this story lets you know just how ugly things can be.
I loved that Mick was there for her when she needed him the most, heck he was always there for her. Their bond was amazing, not only their chemistry but their true friendship was mesmerizing. Mick and Bia were always meant to be together and I cannot recommend their story enough. If you enjoy the friends-to-lovers trope grab a copy of this book, I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.
Happy Reading!!!
This is my first book in the series and by this author.
All I can say is wow.
Mick and Bianca are childhood friends who go separate ways but never stop loving each other. When tragedy brings them back together, neither wants to loose the other.
B-Rod is a strong woman who was beaten down by her husband. She knows Mick is the one person who can help her.
Mick is a man every woman would live to know and have for their own. He love Bia and will do anything for her. He wants, no needs, to help her heal has just not sure he knows how but he’ll try any way he can.
I can’t say enough about how much I loved this book.
I was given this book for an honest voluntary review
Leigh Lennon’s “Must Love Coffee” kicked off the 425 Madison series and what a kick-off it was! It is only appropriate that Leigh was a contributor to the second season of 425 Madison and I was very excited for the opportunity to read another one of Leigh’s books. Grab your coffee and let’s chat about “Must Love Forever.”
I made a few promises in my review of “Must Love Coffee” I think that I will carry that format over to the review of “Must Love Forever.”
1. You will want to live at 425 Madison. The residents are not just neighbors, they become family members who watch out for and support each other. The big high rise on Madison Avenue in New York City has a very down-to-earth, small-town vibe.
2. You will laugh….a little bit. There are moments of humor in Must Love Forever but the content is very serious.
3. You will cry. Yes, lord yes….you will cry. Go ahead and grab the box of tissues and keep them close by. Bianca told the story of her horrific marriage in chunks and I am so glad that she did because I could not have taken the story all at once. For a moment there, I was speechless and crying so hard that I had to put the book down (well, close the app on my phone). My dear husband thought that I was crazy…again.
4. You will get hot and bothered. The chemistry between Bianca and Mick is off the charts! The whole not speaking during sex was VERY hot!
5. You will fall in love with…Mick. When Bianca was in the hospital, he had friends buy supplies for her…everything pink in the store. When Bianca moved in with him, he bought all new furniture and decorated the room in…pink. He held Bianca’s hair when she was sick, cleaned her up, and held her while she slept. Mick professed his love to Biana by saying “My love for you isn’t because I feel sorry for you. It’s because I want to be everything for you because you are everything to me.” Yep, Mick is your next book boyfriend.
6. You will HATE…Trent. Trent is Bianca’s former husband. He was evil to the very core of his being.
7. You will not be able to put this book down except when you need to wipe your eyes or blow your nose.
This is a must-read book! It is with lots of used tissues and great pleasure that I give Leigh Lennon’s Must Love Forever 5 out of 5 propellers!
Mick and Bianca have been friends for as long as they can remember. When Bianca marries Trent, Mick backs away to let her live her happily ever after. Tragedy strikes and Mick vows to help Bianca put her life back together no matter what. Will Bianca open up and let Mick in?
This was my first read in the 425 Madison Series but I have read almost all of Leigh Lennon’s books so knew I was in for a treat. Mick is an all-around great guy and he has looked out for Bianca since she was bullied in school. Bianca has lived through hell and is an incredibly strong woman. I loved Mick and Bianca and their families. Leigh always writes books that will take your emotions through the wringer. I have already downloaded the previous books in the series and can’t wait to read them too.
This book had it all for me! Friends to lovers. Love, then heartbreak and then love again. Bianca and Mick are so wonderful! He is so great with her. Bianca goes through quite a bit a trauma and he doesn’t push too hard to get her where he wants her. This book is a great showing of how the heart can keep on beating even after it seems to be have shredded to pieces. Mick and Bianca are absolutely the couple that you wholeheartedly root for! Love them so so so much! Definitely a book I would recommend to anyone who loves friends to lovers!
Lennon speaks to the heart with Must Love Forever. Mick and Bianca are friends with years of baggage between them. Secret crushes, missed opportunities, haunting tragedy, heartbreaking losses and the healing power of love. These characters tackle a whole lot of heartache in order to find their forever. A happy ending is hard work and Lennon refuses to sugarcoat the emotion, but there’s healing in the heartache.
Must Love Forever is a great addition to the 425 Madison series! Mick and Bianca have been best friends their whole lives. Life didnt exactly plan out as they had hoped until one night changed everything and brought them back together. I immediately got sucked into Mick and Bianca’s story. Their connection and relationship was easy and natural. Their story was one emotional ride. Each layer and revelation was more heartbreaking than the last, but it only brought Mick and Bianca closer. There were a lot of sweet and fun moments too! And I absolutely loved their ending!!
Leigh Lennon is a new to me author, and after reading Must Love Forever, I’ll be looking to read more of her books!
Must Love Forever is the 11th book in the 425 Madison Avenue series and the second of season two. I really loved the story of Mick and Bianca. The book was a tear jerker, very emotional and sometimes disturbing; but what shined through it all was Mick’s never ending love for Bianca and never giving up on her. I highly recommend Must Love Forever!
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
If you love and epic romance that will steal your breath, melt your heart. put your emotions through a wringer and leave you swooning, you need to BUY. THIS. BOOK. Now!!! Bianca and Mick’s story is as beautiful as it is poignant and as heartbreaking as it is hopeful. As soon as you start reading this book you will realize that you have discovered one of those rare gems that will steal a piece of your heart and linger in your mind due to the impact it leaves behind. Bianca ad Mick I just loved so much. They were a truly amazing couple. Mick was hot, devoted, protective, caring and loving. You could not ask for a better book boyfriend. Bianca. Man, Bianca shattered me and my heart bled for her. I honestly do not think you can read this book and not feel that way, but she was also fierce and a survivor. This is a book that will inspire intense feelings in you. There are several people in this book that I disliked and two I LOATHED!! If I had one negative takeaway from this read it was I felt cheated because one of these people escaped scot free and that really, really bothered me. I know life doesn’t always balance the scales and justice isn’t always served but this fact drives me crazy. I guess I will just have to be satisfied with the retribution that my own mind can and did deliver and let that be enough. Regardless of this pet peeve, this is quite simply a must read book.
Do you believe in love? Must Love Forever is a sweet, emotional read that will give you all of the feels. I loved it.
Bianca and Mick are best friends, he would do anything for her. Unwilling to admit their love for each other, he watched her married to another. Bianca has a secret that she’s kept to herself. The story is sweet, emotional and heartfelt. Must Love Forever is part of the 425 Madison series and can be read as a stand-alone.

Tender but some parts can be hard to read
It’s a good romance with an unexpectedly beginning when you understand that something is wrong in the life of the heroine.
Mick has loved Bianca for a long time, but he let her marry another man without ever telling her anything and keeping his place as her best friend, even if she has slowly moved away.
However, when he thinks he can try to move on, he must come to Bianca’s rescue. Helping her escape from the life that awaited her after a disaster, he discovers that Bianca has hidden heavy secrets for her and that he cannot and will not let her get away from him anymore.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
A raw & real story. Your heart will break for Bianca and be pieced back together by Mick
As with all stories by Leigh Lennon this was a page turner! Well done and a great addition to the 425 Madison world.
