Flirting with Forever

A Forever Yours Novel, #3

by Cara Bastone

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Oooooh! The slow burn hurts so good!!! Cara Bastone is a master of the slow burn!

The third book in the series features many thinks that we have come to love about this series, the friend group (Mary, Sebastian and Tyler) together, great friendships and family drama.

Mary’s friend from her shop has worn her down and set her up with her son… too bad when she meets him the first thing he says is that he thought she would be younger! Date officially over.

Oh boy… Lucky for John, Mary is the sweetest person on earth and she accepts his apology. This starts their meandering friendship that is always tainted by their first meeting and unspoken feelings. These two have so much pulling them together and yet their pasts stand in the way of a real future together…

This was another hit from Cara Bastone. Right out of the ballpark! The characters of Mary and John are well rounded and developed, the lives they have and their interactions are authentic and relatable. I absolutely loved that our beautiful heroine is. Single 37 yeas old. I love how the agism in relationships is seen and perceived from many sides.

This books hooked main from the beginning and had me staying up late to keep reading. I really appreciated how the service came full circle at the end.

This book is the third in the series, but the story and set up is strong enough to be read as a standalone. I would suggest reading the complete series. This is a great series and the layered developments of the characters and relationships only gets better from book to book.

Flirting with Forever by Cara Bastone is scheduled to release January 26th, 2021.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harlequin- Romance through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
