Love the romantic read of this story it will grab your heart strings and have you feeling the emotional pain throughout this book
I love 425 Madison!! Each book has just been so amazing to lose myself in each day I read! This one was no different and while some tragic spots hurt my heart I loved the romance!
I had no idea this book would pull out all the stops to make one epic story! I love when I read about best friends because they usually have no idea how the other feels. I loved the dedication Mick has for Bianca even after not really being in her life for a year. Best friend mode just kicks back into gear! Mick isn’t your typical male because no male I know would do half the crap he did! But it was sweet to witness and admire! Putting her first before anything he felt just seemed right in so many ways!
I can’t get enough of these two but that ending was beautiful. I really REALLY hope to see more of them later in some of the other books!!! Their story is just too good not to want more and more! Great job on this tearjerker! So many emotions throughout and hard topics to push myself through! Congrats!
Must Love Forever by Leigh Lennon
Five Stars
Must Love Forever is the eleventh book in the 425 Madison Avenue series. This book is authored by Leigh Lennon. I love series that are collaborations of a bunch of authors. You get a bunch of different writing styles that are connected by , in this case a place. Leigh is one of my go to authors, and she definitely has a hit with this story. Bianca and Mick have an amazingly complicated relationship, and this story has all of the feels. I highly recommend this book.
It has been forever since I have a book in the 425 Madison series and I have forgotten how much I love and adore these books. Mick is such an incredible character and if only they made them like this in real life. This book took my emotions through the ringer in the best of ways.
Another fabulous installment to the 425 series.
These characters made me smile, cry, scratch my head, and fan my face. A heartbreaking adventure to the HEA…everything I want in a love story that keeps me turning the pages.
I can’t wait for the next one <3
„Must Love Forever” is another instalment in the 425 Madison series written by Leigh Lennon whose books I totally adore. IT’s a story about childhood friends Bianca and Mick. They were close friends and even had feelings toward each other but didn’t say anything and they went separate was when Blanca got married. And then tragedy struck and Blanca is in serious need of help of her childhood friend. No-one knew how Bianca’s marriage life looked like and when the truth see the light of day there of course be some judgement but it will also be a hope for a second chance with his one girl for Mick. This story is such great story that will make you strongly invest in their story. Definitely a must read as well as whole series.
Whoa! Mick & Bia took me on a beautiful journey with them. I hated everything that happened to Bia during her marriage, there were several times I just had to put my kindle down and scream out my frustrations for her.
I loved that Mick was there for her. He worked so hard to show her that she was loved & perfect the way she was! This was a great story!!
This novel is about Mick and Bianca who have been friends since they were kids, their parents are close friends, and so on. After a sudden and tragic accident, Bianca finds herself temporarily living with Mick in his apartment at 425 Madison. Bianca has always had a crazy crush on Mick. Mick has always been head over heels for Bianca. But neither of them knew or did anything about it until fate gives them another chance.
I’ll start by saying that I completely fell in love with Mick while reading this! Where in the world can I find my own Mick?? He was so incredibly sweet, sexy, caring, intelligent and everything else wonderful you can imagine. But the best thing about Mick was the amazing way he treated Bianca, his patience, and his protectiveness over her.
But here’s where I ran into a problem… While I sympathized with Bianca’s situation and certainly wanted her to find her HEA – I just did not like her. Maybe it was because of her past being in an emotionally abusive relationship, but I found her character immature, quick to jump to conclusions and a very poor communicator. I tried to like her and tried to pick out positive, wonderful things about her, but I just couldn’t. I apologize to author Leigh Lennon because I am such a huge fan, but Bianca fell short for me.
In spite of my feelings about the female main character, I still enjoyed this book and found the premise incredibly sweet and romantic. I love friends to lovers novels and this was a wonderful addition to the genre and the 425 Madison series. If not for Bianca, this would have easily been a 5-star read for me! As with all of the books in this series, Must Love Forever can be enjoyed as a standalone, but because the rest of the series is so wonderful, I highly recommend reading them all because the characters will make appearances again.
*Thanks to Forever Write PR for providing this review copy in exchange for my honest opinion!
Wow. Overall this was a great read, it was just intense for me. I didn’t know if I could get through it due to the flashbacks and being so angry for Bianca. Trent is a flipping jerk and is just a horrible person. I felt every emotion reading this story and it was a roller coaster. God bless Mick, what a stand up guy and all around great friend, who is the best book boyfriend.
Mick and Bianca have known each other since childhood, he treated her like a little sister and she idolised him. As they got older their feelings grew for each other, but he stood and watch her marry another man! Within her first year of marriage she is on her way to Mick, her childhood best friend, when tragedy strikes, or is it? No one knows what goes on behind closed doors, and this story is about mental abuse and two people who finally admit their feelings for each other and find a way forward!
Like many of Leigh’s books this one brings to light a subject that people don’t talk about, and it is so well written, it will bring tears to your eye. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next in the series.
Bianca and Mick were childhood friends and then started having feelings for each other. Bianca ends up marrying someone else because she thought Mick didn’t feel the same way about her. Years later Mick gets a call and drops everything to rush to Bianca’s side. He finds out her marriage wasn’t everything he thought it was from the beginning. A great second chance read.
Are you looking for sweet, second chance romance? This book is for you!! Leigh Lennon amazes me with her ability to write all kinds of different genres and stories. She can take sweet and add the steaminess and she has magic!! This story is no different.
Best friends who have always loved each other. Afraid to act on it. And it turns into so much more. This story is all encompassing and totally swoon worthy!! A great read by Leigh Lennon!!
Must Love Forever is the second book in “Season two” of 425 Madison Avenue series. It is also by the author who wrote Must Love Coffee from the first series. Characters from that book who up here, but it holds up well as a stand alone. I really enjoyed this one. Mick has made it onto my book boyfriend list. I loved his patience with Bianca as she worked through her issues with her horrible marriage. They had great chemistry and I know it was due to their deep and long standing friendship. I highly recommend this one
Bianca and Mick grew up together, going from the “ew, cooties” stage to best friends as they got older. Unfortunately, Mick realized he was in love with Bianca right before she married her high school and college boyfriend. After the wedding, Bianca and Mick lost touch. Then suddenly his sister calls to tell him Bianca was in an accident and is in the hospital and he rushes to her side.
Their story is one of a deep shared history, and a lifelong bond. Bianca trusts Mick with her life, and that gives her the strength to do what she needs to heal after her trauma. These two together were the absolute sweetest. This was a great read and fits in well with the rest of the425 Madison series.
5 FOREVER STARS!! Another phenomenal story in the 425 Madison Novel series. Mick and Bianca’s will touch every part of your heart with all the feels. Mick is so tender and sweet….I am so in love with this character. You must read this book…..do it now.
Bianca and Mick story was sweet. Best friends since high school, Mick had lost his chance when she married another. Then fate seemed to step in and now he had his chance to change his future. This was a nice quick read for me and I am happy to have been able to read it.
I need to read others within this 425 Madison series as I have read the other one of Leigh’s books and enjoyed it also.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and the first book I’ve read In the the 425 Madison book series. I was hooked from the beginning and I absolutely loved it.
Bianca goes through alot she is a fighter and Mick helps her though her struggles, he has always been there for her to support and help her. Mick is there for her and he’s a very patient man and goes at her pace. When she married another man Mick thought that was it for them and tried to take a step back.
Mick is a really good guy and is genuinely nice. Mick has feelings for Bianca, always has and then his heart gets broken. She’s his Forever Girl. These two have been the best of friends for a very long time.
These two characters have known each other since they were young. I was really rooting for them both and I hoped they get there second chance at love.
This book has my emotions all over the place and really puts your heart in a vice. I really felt for them, their lives and the situation that they were in. This book is a friends to lovers romance story and is a great read. I enjoyed reading this story line.
I would like to read more from this author in the future because I enjoyed this book well, and I look forward to seeing what this author writes in the future. I will definitely be reading more in this series too.
Thank you to the author and publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.

This book is Now Live.
WOW, what an emotional beautifully written book. Bianca and Mick have known each other for all their lives, since their parents are best friends. When Mick hears some bullies talking mean about her, he puts them in their place and goes and tells B-Rod that his best friend needs a special name. When Trent enters the picture, Bianca distances herself from Mick and his sister, Erin, her other best friend. What we don’t know is what Bianca is having to endure. It’s truly heartbreaking and no one should have to go through what she did. I’m not going to leave any spoilers, but I couldn’t read this book fast enough. I’ve loved all the books I’ve read by Leigh Lennon. Grab your copy and get ready to fall in love with Mick O’Malley.
An amazing heartfelt standalone romance within the 425 Madison series. This engaging storyline is a rocky road with many twists and turns, tragedy, never ending love and more as these two friends eventually get their HEA as each others half. The characters are interesting and well developed with amazing chemistry and great supporting and non supporting casts keeping me glue page after page. I voluntarily read and reviewed this incredible ARC.
“My love for you runs so deep I’d take residence in hell to keep you safe” OMG swoon!!!! I don’t know of any woman that wouldn’t want to hear those words from the man she loves. This is the first book in the A 425 Madison Novel series I have read, but I look forward to reading about the other couples. Mick and Bianaca are the most amazing characters, but I have come to learn that Leigh Lennon writes AMAZING characters in worlds that I just to climb into the book and be a part of. The path to happiness isn’t an easy one of these two, but if they can get there it will absolutely be worth it. Just a wonderfully written book that I flew right through and was left satisfied with how the story ends, but also wanting so much more. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book for an honest review.
