From Now Until Forever by Sherry GloagSweet Contemporary Romance/ Romantic SuspenseLength: 21203 wordsPublisher: Astraea PressBlurb: For Prince Liam, families meant bad news, unwanted commitments, and the loss of his personal freedom. Love spawned white picket fences, slippers at the hearth with a wife and kids making demands, so why did those images disappear when he met Melanie Babcot?
Melanie Babcot fought hard to escape the horrors of her youth and vowed to remain single and free, so when paid to protect Prince Liam from insurgents why did her personal pledge fly out the window?When I first started to read it I was a little confused on what was going on, it was a little hard to follow. I also didn't really feel any connection with the characters. I am happy it was a clean read. I will give it *2 1/2* stars
