REVIEW:
Peeps, this is a single dad romance! How many of you did that line hook already? I know my fellow romance junkies love a good single dad romance as much as I do. Some of you even more.
I'm probably gonna keep this one short because I can't and don't want to spoil you. This is one of those books that will make you smile, the perfect book to get you out of a slump or brighten up your day if you're feeling less sunny.
I adored this story. It's a short book, you can power through it in a couple of hours easily, the plot runs fluidly and hooks you from the beginning till the end. The characters will also keep you hooked with their sweetness and love, and Livvie is the cutest little thing, always putting smiles on everyone's faces including yours.
This story is a story about love, all kinds of it, loving yourself, your friends, family and that special someone. It's a story about forgiving yourself and learning to live with and move on from your mistakes. It's about second chances and learning to let go of old beliefs and letting new ones replace them. About opening up your heart and letting down your walls, accepting help from your loved ones in times of need, and just being there for the ones you love and letting them be there for you.
The story is super sweet and I enjoyed reading it so much. I soon fell in love with Sawyer and Livvie, and also Jackson. If he gets a book, I'm so reading that!! This was just one of those books that left feeling all warm and fuzzy when I finished it. A great read, I'm telling you.
“You saved my life, Darlene,” he said. “In more ways than one.”

Forever Right Now Blurb:
***STANDALONE new adult romance from the author of The Butterfly Project and the Full Tilt Duet***
Darlene Montgomery has been to hell and back…more than once. After a stint in jail for drug possession, she is finally clean and ready to start over. Yet another failed relationship is just the motivation she needs to move from New York to San Francisco with the hopes of resurrecting her dance career and discovering that she is more than the sum of her rap sheet. As Darlene struggles in her new city, the last thing she wants is to become entangled with her handsome—but cranky—neighbor and his adorable little girl...
Sawyer Haas is weeks away from finishing law school, but exhaustion, dwindling finances, and the pressure to provide for himself and his daughter, Olivia, are wearing him down. A federal clerkship--a job he desperately needs--awaits him after graduation, but only if he passes the Bar Exam. Sawyer doesn’t have the time or patience for the capricious—if beautiful—dancer who moves into the apartment above his. But Darlene’s easy laugh and cheerful spirit seep into the cracks of his hardened heart, and slowly break down the walls he’s resurrected to keep from being betrayed ever again.
When the parents of Olivia’s absentee mother come to fight for custody, Sawyer could lose everything. To have any chance at happiness, he must trust Darlene, the woman who has somehow found her way past his brittle barbs, and Darlene must decide how much of her own bruised heart she is willing to give to Sawyer and Olivia, especially when the ghosts of her troubled past refuse to stay buried.

EXCERPT:
"Who are you?" he demanded rudely, shifting the diaper bag higher on his shoulder while hoisting his little girl in his other arm. He was six feet of hotness in a rumpled suit, glaring at me with suspicion in his dark eyes.
"I...I'm your new neighbor?" It sounded more like a question; as if I needed this guy's permission to live. I straightened to my full height. "I just moved in upstairs. I'm a dancer. Well, I was. Had to take some time off but I'm going to get back into it soon...ish." I put on my friendliest smile. "I'm a massage therapist now. Just got my license and..."
My words died under Sawyer's withering stare.
"A dancer. Fantastic," he said bitterly. "Just what I always wanted. Someone leaping and thumping above me, waking my kid up and disturbing my studies at all hours of the night."
I planted my hands on my hips. "I can't dance in a dinky apartment, and besides..."
Words failed me again as the sharp planes and hard angles of Sawyer's face melted when his daughter--I guessed her to be about a year old--suddenly clapped her small hand over his chin. Sawyer's hard gaze softened, and his broad mouth turned up in a smile--a beautiful smile I was sure only his little girl ever got to see, and so full of love that for a moment I could hardly breathe.
