Harper recently returned to her hometown after a seven-year absence. Her visits home have been few and far between, as she didn’t want to run into the ex-fiancé who shattered her world.

Rogan returned to his hometown seven years earlier, his life completely shattered. He couldn’t get past the anger and fear that followed a devastating accident. He also couldn’t cope with feeling like he wasn’t good enough for his former fiancé, the love of his life.

In many ways, Rogan has healed during the last seven years, but he has never found happiness. Despite moving around the New England states, Harper has never found the peace or happiness that she had with Rogan. Can the two of them find love again since they are once again in each other’s orbit?

Ms. Quinn has woven together a lovely tale of two damaged people struggling to move through life and find some happiness. The story behind Harper and Rogan’s break-up unfolds slowly throughout a series of flashbacks. As the stories of their past and their future unfold, readers can’t help but root for the tortured couple. It was a joy to see them find their happily ever after!

Man, I really want to move to Port Snow, Maine!!! That Forever Girl is the second installment in the Getting Lucky series and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Rogan and Harper’s story!! You can definitely read That Forever Girl as a standalone, but I highly encourage you start this series from book #1 (That Second Chance) because it’s so good!

That Forever Girl centers around Rogan and Harper who were High School sweethearts who both thought they would have their happily ever after as husband and wife, but sadly that didn’t happen! During college an unfortunate and tragic event happened that ultimately had Rogan breaking up with Harper and destroying her heart! Now 7 years later, Harper is back in town and Rogan isn’t sure how to react. Both Harper and Rogan have never lost those intense feelings for each other, but neither of them want to admit to it!!! Ohhhhhhhh my, my,my!!

I was ALL IN the entire way through!! Meghan Quinn never disappoints so I knew I would love what she had in store for Rogan and Harper! This novel jumps between the past and present day which worked perfectly with the storyline. I also loved catching up with all the characters. That Forever Girl is a total 5 star read that you won’t be able to put down! Maybe it’s because I have a soft spot for second chance romances or maybe it’s the awesome cast of characters, but That Forever Girl is my favorite novel from Meghan Quinn to date! I am so flipping excited for the next book in this awesome series!!

A lovely, heartwarming, second-chance romance! Ms. Quinn has a gift for infusing a richness of heart into the very fabric of a small-town. And, without tipping the scale into cheesy clichés. I had a hard time liking Rogan even after he decided to change. He was just so horribly cruel and despicable to Harper. As the layers unraveled, I understood his reasons but I still yearned to see more of his emotional redemption and not just his outward changes. Harper's character, though, was absolutely perfect for this story! The author penned her with such empathy that the tears were threatening more than a few times throughout the book! Overall, it was with a sigh and a smile I closed that last page. Satisfied, happy and looking forward to the next book in this series!

Ah another Knightly brother. I’m really liking all of the brothers, their group texts are pretty entertaining. I do have to say that it took me a minute to not want to junk punch Rogan. For a hot minute there, he was kinda being a dick to Harper when she came back to town. There was a lot of guilt going around and he finally pulled his head outta his booty so that helped. Overall it’s a great second chance and it got me a wee bit emotional a time or two.

4 1/2 "2nd chance" Stars!

That Forever Girl was a great installment to the Getting Lucky series! I really liked the way Ms. Quinn went back and forth between the past and the present to let Rogan and Harper's story gradually unfold. It felt like a very natural way to share the information with the reader and had an easy flow. It also made it more heartbreaking at times to go from a chapter where they were young and happily in love to a chapter where they weren't even speaking. It really made the harshness of their current reality stand out.

Let me just say....Meghan Quinn, you are killin' me with Rogan! Seriously, I love how you wrote him....so clever. He's the absolute man you can't help but dislike for his treatment of the girl through a good portion of the story but when all the pieces start coming together, you understand him better and can embrace his surly character a little more. Then when his secrets surface and you know what he's really been up to....be still my heart! By the end of the book, I was sold....all in...Team Rogan.

Then there is our leading lady, Harper. She mysteriously appears back in Port Snow. Her reasons for moving back are unclear but it's evident that she is hiding something. It's also quite obvious that she's uncomfortable being around Rogan and that she has unrequited feelings where he's concerned. Rogan doesn't hide his displeasure that Harper is back in town either and initially tries to avoid interacting with her as much as possible. Unfortunately for both of them, everyone else in town has other plans and tries to throw them together as much as possible, especially Rogan's family.

I think it's safe to say that I love the Knightly family. One of my favorite parts in the book is the texting banter between the brothers - - it's absolutely hilarious and when you throw their sister in there for good measure, it's even better. I'm totally hooked on Port Snow and this series! I can't wait to see who gets their story next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake Romance for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When i first read The Second Chance i was drawn the Rogan, he was stand-off-ish compared to his brothers, he was more serious but also just had this thing about him that i couldn't put my finger on. Like don't get me wrong i love all the Knightley brothers but Rogan is something else.
When i saw that this book was about Rogan i done a little happy dance, i totally thought he was going to be the last brother you hear about.
Rogan and Harper's story is one of love and heartbreak and second chances but also power from within that they never knew they had. They had so much time to grow and reflect on themselves into the people they become and the absolute love they have for each other.
At first Rogan was like a bear with a sore head and was pretty unbearable (see what i did there) but he has his reasons, strong reasons that he needed to overcome by himself.
Harper was so strong. I loved her, she was fiesty and stood toe to toe with Rogan at times and i was totally fist pumping the air like "You go girl. Stand your ground"
All in all this book was beautiful. I needed this book in my life and I'm so greatful that Meghan wrote it.
I pray to see Reid and Brig's story soon ;)

❤

I love Meghan Quinn's books. They are usually so cute, funny, and the characters have so much chemistry. However, That Forever Girl didn't work for me. I just didn't feel the connection between the characters and I felt like something was missing.

I will of course still read more from Meghan and maybe this was just a case of the book not working for me!

So here's the thing. I don't like flashbacks that happen every other chapter. This is one thing that happens in romance stories where the couple has a history, or at least this book it does. After the first two flashbacks (whole chapters of Rogan and Harper's high school love story), I started skipping those chapters. I really wanted to read this book because I loved the first book in the series and wanted to read them all. Once I started skipping the flashback series, I enjoyed the book a lot more.

Harper Sanders is back in Port Snow after seven years. All she wants is to figure out her life and move on from her broken past, what better place to do that than home with her dad. The only problem with going home after so many years is that it's never the same and holds the ghosts of memories. Rogan Knightly never believed in "the curse". He knows exactly why his love is broken, in fact, he did broke it on purpose. After seeing Harper for the first time since she returned to town, Rogan can't ignore her, now all he wants to do is get her to fall back in love with him. The only problem is that he can't seem to stop being a jerk.

I absolutely adored this book. It was not a typical Meghan Quinn book, I haven't read every book she's written, but I have read quite a few, I can always count on her to be funny, while this book had funny moments, it had PLENTY of angst too. It was honestly a little bit of almost every trope, second chance, enemies to lovers, unrequited. I just loved it all. Harper and Rogan's first interaction (and let's be honest, the next few) had me wanting to kick him in the nuts for her, in the beginning of the book, I was rooting for them to NOT be together. As the book went on and I saw glimpses of their past it made his treatment of her that much harder to get over. When he did eventually realize what he wanted (to be with Harper of course) and he turned on the charm, holy crap was he charming and hard to hate. The funniest part of the entire book are the group texts between the Knightly siblings, they had me cracking up every time. This is a fantastic follow up to the first book, I'm excited to see who gets paired up net! Definitely recommend.

I'm not sure where to begin.
This story really tugged at my heart. I really loved being back in Port Snow and reading about the Knightly family.
This is Rogan's story and what an absolutely beautiful heartwarming but also sad story.
When his past love Harper moves back to town, nothing is quite the same for Rogan. I swear my heart was in overdrive at his inner turmoil. But had had such amazing support from his family, especially his brothers. What I truly loved about this book was the beautiful family bond, their text messages and overwhelming support for him. Made me want to be a part of the town. Can Rogan and Harper overcome the past and look to the future??
I laughed, cried and felt so many emotions for the characters. This was such a beautiful story, the author should be incredibly proud of what she has written.

I knew reading the first book in this series, that Rogan’s tale was going to hurt, and it did. He’s a young man, making a name for himself towards a football career when one night things change dramatically. His world is turned upside down and unfortunately he pushes away the one person he needs the most.

Seven years down the track, he is still trying to prove to himself that he can have a full filling life after football when Harper comes home for good. She herself is not only dealing with having to see her ex fiancé around town, but needing to find solace in her familiar surroundings and recover from a nasty relationship of two years. It’s not until Rogan runs into Harper a few times around town that he feels more hope than he’d ever thought possible.

Rogan is the gruff brooding male that is broken and suffering a few wounds. I loved him! You could feel deep down his anguish and having the flashbacks gave you another aspect of his personality. Once he realized what he had been working towards all along over the last seven years, he didn’t take his time to steer his energy into winning back Harper as his Forever Girl. Harper wasn’t as quick to forget how much heartache they both endured back in college and she gave him a run for his money. She had a lot of personal growth in this book, more so than Rogan, and she needed reassurance that it wouldn’t happen again. I loved her vulnerability and sensitivity she displayed. I think if she didn’t have the emotions as she did, their circumstance would have hardened her to someone totally different.

I also want to add how much the Knightly family dynamics play into these books. The brothers banter is a treasure and their sister Jen whips them up too. There are still the two younger brothers books to come and these boys need some maturity before they can find their HEA’s but I’m so keen to read their stories.

Rogan and Harper were best friends who became sweethearts long ago but when tragedy strikes Rogan, he pushes Harper away. Years later, Harper comes back to the small town where they lived to escape an abusive relationship. To Rogan and Harper's chagrin, everyone in town is trying to get them back together. They've never gotten over each other but are convinced that a relationship wouldn't work. It takes a town, a movie, and overcoming a curse to get them back together. Enjoyable romance.

I've come to the conclusion with this book that Meghan Quinn and I just do not mix. I WANT to like her books because so many people rave about them but the few that I have read have all been disappointing, this one included. I found the characters immature for their age and therefore hard to connect with. I just don't get her brand of humor I guess.

Oh how I love the town of Port Snow and the fabulously funny Knightly family!

This story brings us back, this story is about the quiet, taciturn Rogan Knightly and Harper.

I absolutely fell in love with this story, the brokenness, the heartbreak and then the redemption. Oh the way that Rogan fights for what he wants is beautiful. What he does to keep his love and memories for what he once had is one of the most swooniest and romantical endeavor I have read ever!

The humor and dialogue between the Knightly siblings is classic Ms. Quinn and I was laughing out loud!

I admired how Ms. Quinn wrote of a love that was all encompassing. Rogan and Harper were true soul mates, they made their plans together and how they revolved around each other could be off putting for some (the whole "find yourself before you love someone else theory") but the way Ms. Quinn described it was beautiful and a true testament to her writing talent.

There are twists and bit of a mystery that kept me riveted until the very end. I was both surprised and amazed!

I so wish Port Snow was a real town, I would move there in a heartbeat.  The world that Ms. Quinn creates is truly magical with this series! I cannot wait to read more!

This one is my favorite of the series so far. A second chance storyline that stole my heart. Childhood best friend turn sweethearts with a tragic twist. I loved the chemistry between Rogan and Harper and was completely drawn in to their journey. I highly recommend this book.

The book was good. It moved a bit slow for me but in general keot me interested.
Thanks to Montlake and Netgalley for the Arc.

Another great book by Miss Quinn! it was so full of wow moments and I loved every single second of it! it was a page turner for sure!

I just fell more in love with the town of Port Snow in That Forever Girl......and I fell hard for Rogan Knightly! He's such a grumpy, broody, damaged hero, but deep down inside he's a wonderful and warm man. Don't get me wrong - some of the things he said to Harper were pretty harsh and not nice at all; but after we find out the why and how he broke her heart (the breakup scene was brutal!), I could see where he was coming from, even though that does not excuse his behavior. But watching them rekindle their love and relationship was so sweet. You could tell that neither of them truly moved on, and that no matter who they were with or where they were in life, that the other would always have a piece of the other's heart.

Of course we get to see all the Knightly brothers and the rest of the family - and the banter between them all is just too hilarious. The text messages are just the best!! And knowing we get Reid and Brig's stories soon - I can't wait to see what's in store for them!

If you're already a fan of Meghan Quinn, you'll love That Forever Girl. Harper is one of my favorite characters she has written. She's very strong, and I really enjoyed getting to know her. Rogan is very reserved, and you kind of hate him at the beginning (I mean how can you do that to Harper??). But I really enjoyed this book! Sidenote: No need to read the first book if you haven't.

I'm not usually a fan of companion book series' but this is the second one that in the last year that I am such a huge fan of and I fall in love with the characters more each time. In my review of That Second Chance, I talked in detail about how much I adored the whole Knightly family and the town that this book is also set in. It honestly feels so realistic that I can't get enough of it. You don't need to have read That Second Chance to be able to read this but I really recommend it because it was a five star read.

This book follows the second Knightly brother, Rogan, and Harper with their second chance romance. Second chance romances aren't usually my favourite but Meghan Quinn can make me love anything. Rogan is a complex character, to say the least, but he is so sweet and sentimental. At the beginning of the book, you don't know why Harper has moved back to town but you can tell how sad she is and it was heartbreaking finding out the reasons for that. The brothers do feature in this book which I loved but they aren't as heavily involved as in That Second Chance. I loved the text messages they would send in group chats, the Ed Sheeran lines had me cracking up!

This book is told in dual perspective and told in present-day and past tense chapters. I think it was brilliantly written and as you progress through the book and find out why they broke up all those years ago, it is gut-wrenching. I really wasn't expecting the reasoning for the break up while they were in college. This book is based in winter with glimpses of Christmas and Thanksgiving which I wasn't expecting but was obsessed with as a huge fan of the holiday season. This book picks up right where That Second Chance ends and I loved Harper and Rogan's story.

There are so many things I would love to share that I adored about this book but I want to keep it as spoiler-free as possible. I did guess who the original forever girl was but I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. I gave this book 4.5 stars, the only reason I didn't give it five stars is because That Second Chance is still my favourite book so far but I already can't wait for the next one!
