You don’t fall for your brother’s high school sweetheart, your boss’s daughter, or your ex-wife’s best friend. Especially when they’re all the same woman.

Under Brick Callan’s mile-wide chest beats a loyal heart with a few cracks in it. He’s the steadfast, overprotective type. Especially when it comes to the one woman he can never have. It’s a long, complicated history punctuated by fights, friendship, family, and an attraction that strains his iron willpower.

When Remi Ford returns to Mackinac Island in the dead of winter with a secret, Brick makes it his mission to find out what put the shadows in those green eyes. Even if it means breaking down the walls he’s built between them. Even if it means falling for the one girl he’ll never get over.

The free-spirited artist just needs to lay low for a few weeks so she can figure a way out of this nightmare. She’s definitely not staying. Not when the man who broke her teenage heart into splinters keeps showing up at her parents’ dinner table. Remi doesn’t need broody, bearded Brick riding to her rescue…again. Not when it will put them both in danger, costing them much more than their hearts.

Author’s Note: Frenemies-to-lovers. Opposites attract. Slow burn. Girl in danger. Glorious, glorious banter. Fighting as foreplay. Small-town shenanigans. Big, grumpy, pining, overprotective hero. Wild-child, trouble-finding heroine who keeps on pushing the hero’s buttons. Steam Level: Lava. Suspense: Nail-biting. Feels: Big time.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"If you like your romance with the spice level of an inferno, but coupled with the suspense of a crazed man on the loose (and who doesn't?) then Forever Never is the book for you. Forever Never is definitely a highlight of my year, and I know it's got the staying power to be one of the books that I will recommend as a must-read Lucy Score book for years to come." ~ TheLitBuzz.com

"If you're new to this gifted wordsmith, you'll be amazed by the way she paints the scene in the reader's mind. You'll effortlessly fall for these complex, enticing characters who make you feel like a quiet yet vital observer within their story. Your heart will get the most exquisite of workouts as you live and breathe every nuance and emotion on this riveting journey to forever. Light-hearted humor, rich depth of heart, stunning suspense and the sweetest of forevers make this an exceptional, unparalleled, magnificent must-read!" ~ BookAddict Romance Blog

"Lucy Freaking Score you are a writing goddess! The intensity was so amazing - the hug...the kiss...the spank me and make me do very bad things sex...the danger...the violence. I know I'm rambling but this book may have ruined me for other books. (Kinda like Brick did to Remi!)" ~ Not Now I'm Reading

"This super slow burn has so much going on! I loved how the author beautifully described Mackinac Island and Lake Huron where the story took place, and how the town folk survive the long, bitter cold winters." ~ Read Me Romance

"This book rocked my world. The story isn't just a love story. There is danger and bad guys and a puzzle to unravel. This book has it all. It is written by Lucy Score so it is a real kick butt story with all the feels. The characters are deep and have a lot of layers. You'll connect with all of them. This is definitely a book that you don't want to miss." ~ Bibliophagist

"Remi and Brick are everything! The banter between them is electric and you can see the friendship that is always there beneath the surface of dislike." ~ Royal Blue Romance

"You're treated to an undeniable, fierce, and passionate connection between lovers that got lost along the way towards their HEA and a dangerous riddle to boot." ~ Drinks and Readers with Vee

"I want a friend like Remi!" ~ Nightreads

"I was pulled in by the intense sexual chemistry and I'm a complete sucker for a protective hero who is completely and totally in love with the heroine from jump. His protective vibes are phenomenal." ~ After Dark Book Lovers

"In typical Score fashion, I was sucked into the story and didn't come up for air until I read the last page... at 3 in the morning. Plot-5/5 Characters-5/5 Heat-5/5 Writing style-5/5 Overall-5/5" ~ Amity Book Blog

"This is a story that you will be unable to put down, you will need to be a voyeur to their lives. And some of the things you will see, to say there are steamy parts would be an understatement, but in true Lucy fashion their relationship is as much of a character in this story as they are." ~ Sandizzle Reads

"This is a well-written tale which is filled with secrets, danger, suspense, mystery, witty banter, emotions, family, friendships, and is a humorous and steamy read." ~ Wendy's Book Blog

"The author is an excellent storyteller and I felt like I was there on the island with them. The scenery and the secondary characters were all impeccable." ~ Romance Reviewed

"This is the spiciest, hottest book Lucy Score has ever written. I am pretty well versed on the spicy side of romance and I am here to tell you, this is HOT." ~ The Rogue Book Reviews

Knowing this story was set in my beloved home state and desperate for even a fıctional visit back home, I was willing to beg, plead, crąwl on my knees over broķen glass, and sell a kıdney to get my hands on an early edition so I could be ready to tell the world the very minute this booķ went live, because I was certain it would be amazing. And let's face it. It's a Lųcy Scòre book, so we have a 100% chance of it being a delightful, funny, heart-şqueezing read, but this time with an extra dash of some pretty dąrn nail-bıting suspense.

Mackinac Island may seem like a sleepy island town during the bòne-chilling winter with transportation via horses and snow mobiles and the most socializing being neighborly visits and a meal at the local tavern. That is until Remıngton Honeysucķle Ford blòws quietly back into town. Being the tiny, tıght-knit community it is, it doesn’t take five minutes for word to travel across the island that the girl who sees words and music in color and marches to the beąt of a drum that consistently leads to troųble has returned home.

Remi is the most refreshing, unique heroine I’ve met in ages. They definitely bròke the mold with this gal. With a heart bıgger than the Huron and a sparkling individuality and innate goodness that few understand, everyone wants to be in her orbit and some are a little jealous, yet Remi still has her share of insecurities.

Then there's Brick Callan, the most brickish hero ever to be penned. Solıd, dependable and protective, yet I think an actual brick may use its words more than Brick. But when this guy actually does speak? Well, it's worth pulling the snow mobile over and turning off the engine to hear every word that comes straight from his pure, golden heart.

Remi's life outside of the island has gone off the rails in a deądly way through no fault of her own. The past they share and the unrequıted lòve that runs both ways between her and Brick makes Remi hesitant to trust him with the details behınd her returning home, yet she knows beyond all doubt she can trust him to keep her safe.

And when you put these two together? Holy Mackinac fudge yumminess, Brick and Remi are like standing next to a volcano on the verge of erųpting. You can feel the radiant heat and hear the groąn and rumble of the magma, and you know that when it inevitably breąks loose it will incınerate everything in its path. Scòre has turned up the smėxy hėat, and every encounter draws our couple closer together, making it abundantly clear that these two are as perfect as can be for each other.

In this offering, we see a new dimension to this talented lady's wrıting. Where we're used to lighthearted fun with a side of steąm and a few heart squeeżes, or mądcap hilarity with a side of suspense, this story is something greater. She takes us deėp into the psyche of these two characters, showing us events that made them who they are and ląys bąre all the fears and vulnerabilities they’ve kept from those who love them. And the suspense! Holy Grand Hotel! I was grabbing for the “oh sheet” handle while gnąwing my nails to nubs!

If you’re already a Scòre fan, it's a no-brainer for you get this booķ. If you’re new to this gifted wordsmıth, you'll be amazed by the way she paints the scene in the reąder's mind. You'll effortlessly fall for these complex, entícìng characters who make you feel like a quiet yet vital observer within their story. Your heart will get the most exquisite of workouts as you live and breathe every nuance and emotion on this riveting journey to forever. Light-hearted humor, rich depth of heart, stunning suspense and the sweetest of forevers make this an exceptional, unparalleled, magnificent must-read!

Holy yearning!!! Talk about the “one that got away” or “it was always you”. This had that in spades!!! I can’t tell you how much my heart hurt about 45% of this book because of the pure AGONY Brick was experiencing. This man YEARNED for Remi with an unbelievable PASSION. And Remi. My goodness she was wildness and pureness amazingness from the beginning.

Brick was such an incredible MMC. When you talk about a strong, reliable, protector, always there for you person, it’s Brick Callan you’re talking about. I can’t get enough of how much he worshipped Remi. The ground she walked. Ugh. He was a dream 😭

Oh, Remi. Such a little trouble maker for everyone but such a sweet human at heart. Ugh. I loved her deciding to “date” Brick that was honestly the sweetest thing ever 🥺🥺 I love these two so much!

Lucy did a great job with this story! I’m disappointed I didn’t read it sooner!

A great rainy day read...
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2021
Verified Purchase
I just spent the whole day reading and I absolutely LOVED IT! It was rainy, a bit cool and the perfect day to snuggle up in bed with a cuppa reading. Honestly, I wasn't sure about Forever Never when I first started and re-reading the blurb didn't really help. You know how you start reading a story and you think ... should these two really be together? Well, at first Remi and Brick seemed completely mismatched. I guess I should have just trusted Lucy Score to write magic.

When a favourite author decides to write something a little different from the norm, it can be a little hard to adjust. This is not the first time Lucy Score has written something that initially seems wrong for me, that I end up loving. In this case, Ms Score decided to go all Kinky on us.

Hubba Hubba, Holy Shamoly, and OH BOY ... THAT WAS HOT!!

With age and maturity, my idea of a good kinky romance has changed. I don't want hard-core or degrading stuff, I want the heart-pounding, excitement of a couple losing themselves in each other. It's all about the heat, consent, and enjoyment and Lucy Score absolutely nailed it in Forever Never. I would go so far as to say that the storyline took a wee bit of a backseat to all of the sexy shenanigans. As long as I'm in the mood for it and it's good sexy shenanigans, I'm OK with the storyline playing second fiddle, to be honest.

This was an easy story to get sucked into and spend a day reading. Besides all the sexy times, the storyline was interesting and kept my attention from start to finish. The characters were lovable and I really enjoyed getting to know some of the inhabitants of the island. Remi's parents were very cool and I loved that their differences made their 35-year marriage work. Darlene was a Police Chief and Gil an English Teacher, making them original characters. There were the usual busybodies and gossips but they were never too much. I also loved that they were aware of the need to check in with the vulnerable, especially considering the severe winter weather can keep people isolated. Their island living sounded very appealing ... in short doses.

I loved Remi and Brick and I was frustrated right alongside them with how long it took for them to finally come together. Sure, I get that when they first met she was too young and he was too old for her. Every other obstacle that stood in their way should never have been an issue. I think Brick lived up to his name for being a brick head and for putting a brick wall around his heart. There were a few times I wanted to reach into my Kindle and pinch him for being so silly. Luckily, Remi was a strong woman and a very patient one as well. I loved their connection and devotion to each other.

While I really enjoyed reading Forever Never, I do think that there were a few too many sexy times. Brick had neverending superpowers and Remi seemed always ready for more which made it a wee bit eye-rolling...ish. I also found it frustrating that they dealt with their conflict in the bedroom. Eventually, they work through their conflicts by having sensible discussions, but it takes them ages to work out that sometimes you need the words more than the actions.

If you're a fan of Lucy Score and don't mind a bit of slap and tickle in the bedroom (wink, wink), I highly recommend giving Forever Never a try.
