Ben Laroux is a handsome, unattached, successful lawyer who has vowed to never let a woman get too close after being betrayed by his former fiancée. Sabine O'Connor is a beautiful, mysterious therapist who is suspicious of Ben, since she's been privy to the feelings of the women in town during counseling sessions; women who have had their own hearts broken by Ben. Sabine's feelings about Ben have been influenced by her clients' stories, and Sabine herself is harboring big secrets of her own. Their story is so compelling, filled with warmth and heart, but also some danger and suspense as Ben helps Sabine to finally let go of her past. Forever, Alabama is the third in a series of books about the Laroux family in Ministry, Alabama. Small-town charm, humor, lovely characters, and an interesting storyline add up to a wonderful book. This book stands on its own merits, but I love to read a series from the beginning, and the previous books are also great reads!

The third installment of this series was my favorite to date. Told from the perspective of hometown favorite heart throb, Ben and new comer Sabine.

Ben is a great character. The love he has for his sisters and his earned cockiness make him a book crush for the ages! The way women swoon over him you wonder why he just won't open his heart and let someone in. To see this Strong man open up about heart break and then become super man again was a wonderful story.

I was very excited that Sabine was going to be the female lead in this story. The other two showed the family from a female perspective and it was nice to have an outsiders point of view. Sabine is smart and beautiful. Loving and sensitive. It was fun to get to know her.

This novel releases march 20. I hope it's not the last story in this series because I adore it!!

Sabine is new to town, a therapist who is helping so many of Ministry's residents work through their lives and problems. But, Sabine has some problems of her own that she is trying to leave behind, and the small town of Ministry has become her haven.

Ben is charming, friendly and all of the single women in town love him, maybe a little too much. He meets Sabine and while he is interested in her, she doesn't want anything to do with him. Once Ben and Sabine spend a little time together and their pasts start to come out, they start to realize that maybe their first impressions weren't accurate after all.

This was a nice story, with a good plot. The writing just seemed a little awkward and the conversations stilted, which took away from my overall enjoyment and engagement in the story. I was provided a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.
