This was a wonderful debut novel. The relationship between estranged high school sweethearts Jay and Layna was well fleshed out and believable, and the setting made me thirsty for pinot noir! Often in second-chance romances, the conflict that keeps the couple from reuniting feels contrived or inconsequential, but that wasn't the case in this novel - the stakes were real. A major plot point made me so sad, but it was necessary to move the story forward. The secondary characters were well developed. There was even a point where I almost felt sorry for one of the villains - almost! Finally, I appreciated the way the author sprinkled hints about a potential love story between Leyna and Jay's best friends Emily and Tim throughout and am excited they will be the focus of book 2 in the series.

For those who care, the sex is off-the page.

This book has an exciting premise and I still think this book can impress a lot more audience. However, I find this book very slow to progress for my liking and too descriptive as well. I think this will be more engaging and interesting if it is shorter and the author cut out some of the unnecessary scenes and descriptions.

Forever With You is a compelling and heartfelt second chance romance. Jay broke Leyna’s heart 18 years ago, and now he’s back in town to help run his family’s business. The chemistry between these two characters made each of their encounters sizzle, but their relationship is complicated by both their past and the uncertainty of their future. I loved reading their story, which was tender and lovely, but with layers of doubt and distrust. I look forward to the next book in this series!

Thank you to @readforeverpub and @netgalley for a copy of this book. When Estelle from Readforeverpub raved about this book, I knew I had to read this. I always love a second chance romance and this one is set in such a picturesque place. I loved both characters and was cheering for them to get together. Such a feel good story about returning home, finding yourself and rediscovering old love.

This was a cute debut. I did enjoy the roqmnce between the two main characters, and the intertwining of their seoarate family businesses. There was also a nice tiny element of mystery with the financial situatuon Leyna was in and why she got there. I did find the story to be very reptitive at times in regards to the love story. Overall I thought it was a good effort.

This was the feel good story I needed today! I loved Jay and Leyna and I was rooting for them as individuals, and as a couple. I got pulled into the town of Sapphire Springs and the Wynter Winery and I so wish both were real places I could go visit. I loved all the side characters and cannot wait to go back to Sapphire Springs and read Emily’s story. This was my first book by Barb Curtis, and it definitely won’t be my last!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I'm finding it hard to rate this book. It was a pleasant read, and I was happy with the outcome. The descriptions of the setting and the vines were lovely and interesting, and the main characters were okay. I just found myself questioning some aspects of the plot, and some of the characters were a bit inconsistent in their behaviour.

I loved this book. It was such a beautiful story of love, family, and persevering. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Forever with You by Barb Curtis is the first book in this author's Sapphire Springs series. It is a great beginning to this series. I loved the two main characters , Leyna Milan and Jay Wynter. They work out to be the perfect couple and I enjoyed reading about their road to a Happily Ever After. I enjoy small-town romance books and this one is heartwarming and very entertaining.

This was such a heartwarming and cute romance. If you are a fan of Annie Rains and Hope Ramsey you'll love this book! I loved the setting and the how the relationship progressed with these two! I will for sure be reading the rest in this series!

This was a delightful debut by Barb Curtis! I was fully invested in this second chance romance that follows Leyna and Jay, who were high school sweethearts but haven’t seen each other in 18 years when Jay broke Leyna’s heart by breaking up with her and heading to France. Leyna has recently returned to Sapphire Springs from New York City to take over her grandfather’s restaurant and when Jay’s grandfather has a health scare, he returns to Sapphire Springs to help out at his family’s vineyard. Leyna and Jay’s grandfathers had hatched a plan to open a restaurant on the vineyard which means Leyna and Jay will be business partners, yet Leyna wants nothing to do with Jay.

I liked that Curtis had Leyna and Jay both work through obstacles as they reunited with each other and that Jay was willing to admit that he may not have handled things the best when he left 18 years ago. Both Leyna and Jay needed the time apart to grow and I liked that Curtis made that part of the storyline. I enjoyed the characters you meet along the way including Emily, Tim, Rob and of course Jay’s grandfather Stefan! Knowing that there will be another book in this series, I can’t wait to return to Sapphire Springs for Emily and Tim’s story and to catch up with Leyna and Jay!

Forever with You is the debut novel from Barb Curtis and such a wonderful debut it was! This book had come recommended to me and I'm glad I was able to read it and enjoy the trip to Sapphire Springs for myself.

Jason (Jay) Wynter left Sapphire Springs nearly two decades earlier so he could earn his own way. While it would have been easiest to stay and automatically work at the family vineyard, he went to France to work for vineyards there and to learn about the craft of grape growing. Although when he did that, he left a lot of things back at home, namely the woman he was head over heels in love with.

Leyna Milan has always been second best to her brother. It wasn't until he voiced that he didn't want any part in the restaurant that her grandfather had owned and run for so many years that she was actually considered. She's a great business woman with fantastic instincts and now that she's inherited the business she's trying to navigate what the best next steps are.

When Jay's grandfather falls ill, it forces him to come back home. He learns he's next in line to take the reins at the vineyard, but is that really what he wants? Couple that with the fact that Leyna and his grandfather have an agreement to open a second location of her restaurant at the vineyard, meaning he's going to have to work with his ex. Is that going to cause problems or will it reignite what has never gone away between the couple?

This is an amazing small-town romance that has a bit of mystery thrown in as well, which I loved. The characters were well fleshed out and before I was even done I was wondering if others characters were going to get their own stories!

While this may be Barb Curtis' debut, it doesn't read that way and was fantastic. It's one that I would highly suggest picking up!

This book had a lovely setting. I loved the vineyard, the restaurants and the whole town of Saphire Springs. I also liked the characters and found them relateable and interesting. I did not however like the storyline all that much. I found it repetitive (yes we know, he broke her heart) and predictable. Nothing really happened in the novel that was exciting and I found it didn’t hold my interest for very long.

Loved reading this book and now 1 of my favorite authors. This is a first in a new series. Can't wait for the 2nd in the series. If you love a little romance in your life I suggest reading this book. I couldn't put it down.

Comforting, light-hearted, cozy, and exactly what I needed right now! I'm so glad it's the first in a series.

Sapphire Falls characters never disappoint. Leyna and Jason show that love is worth fighting for. When you get the chance you need to grab it with both hands.

Forever With You is a sigh worthy novel. Leyna's ex returns after almost twenty years, He stomped on her heart then and she's not about to give him a second chance. Jay has ran long enough from his demons, it's time to face them, but does he have the courage. The story has all the curves: lies, theft, death, love, and redemption. My two favorite scenes were in the Board room and the Lawyer's office because each was pivotal. I'm pleased this is the first in a series because Sapphire Springs is the place to be.

From the very beginning this book caught and held my full attention. This story made me feel so many different emotions and brought tears to my eyes especially towards the end. This was such a great start to the series and I can't wait to read the next book!
