I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

As always, Annabelle McCormack's book tore through all of my emotions, from frustration, to sadness, to happiness. Her ability to engage the reader in the personalities of the characters is outstanding and kept me reading even when it was best if I put it down and went to bed! The book flows smoothly from one character to the next.

I have read most of her books, especially in this series, and will continue to do so. Hint: if you haven't read any of her historical fiction, you most definitely should read her Windswept series!

This was a fun, spicy romance.

The main characters are in love but their families make it difficult, as they just do not get along.

I did struggle to get through this book, which is why I rated it 3 stars.

A great read with suspenseful family drama. I loved it. Great characters! I am looking forward to the next book.

While this was the fourth book in the Brandywood series, it was actually my first one and had no problem following the story whatsoever. Both Lindsay and Travis were so loveable from the start and I’ve become obsessed with their (and their family’s) story. 🥹

When I saw this was an enemies to lovers / forbidden love filled story, I just knew it was a perfect read for me and oh how right I was about that. While it took me a little while to actually get in to it, the moment it happened I could NOT stop reading and wanted to finish this one as soon as possible. Parts of this book truly had me giggling and kicking my feet and seeing them get their happy ending truly was everything to me and made me so, so happy.

Not only was this my first read in the Brandywood series, it was also my first Annabelle McCormack book and I have to say that I absolutely loved it. The time jumps and multiple POV’s worked wonders and really spoke to me.

I want to thank NetGalley for providing me with this ARC as I thoroughly enjoyed this one! ❤️

3.75/5

it took me a while to get invested, but once i did i really enjoyed this book! plus i love a good dual pov. it is very character-heavy, and it was sometimes hard to keep track of who's who or which side of the feud they fell on (especially early on). however, this is the first book i've read from the brandywood series, so i'm sure it would have been easier to follow if i'd read the others first. but don't fret if you haven't! it works well as a standalone and you'll still have a good time! i'll definitely be going back to read the rest of the series.

With its well-developed characters, captivating plot, and exploration of universal themes, it is a must-read for fans of contemporary romance and family drama.

This was just not it for me. I found myself getting bored in the book and it just seemed like a typical enemies to lovers and nothing drew me in to the story.

This wasn’t a pick for me.

Lindsay. The fun-loving & carefree baby of the Yardley family.

Travis. The self-described screw-up of the Wagner family.

The Yardley & Wagner families have always hated each other. They’re sworn enemies who’ve been at odds for as long as Lindsay & Travis can remember. That’s why their secret hook-ups have to end. Sure, they’re insanely attracted to each other & have great chemistry, but it will never work. A fact that she reminds him of every morning after, & this time she means it. But Lindsay’s resolution is short-lived when they’re thrown together on a mandatory town committee. The more time they spend together the harder & more complicated things become. But can they really figure out a way to make it work?

I enjoyed this book, it was a nice easy read. Lindsay is so much stronger than she, or her family, give her credit for. But she also pissed me off. She’s so preoccupied with what her family would think of them that she doesn’t appreciate how amazing or patient Travis is. She continually strings him along & treats his heart like a yo-yo. He would be so good for her if she’d just let him in.

I LOVED the town meeting at the start of the book. It gives major Gilmore Girl vibes & I could easily picture Taylor Doose demanding Travis & Lindsay head-up the committee. It was actually the funniest part of the book.

I also liked the flashback chapters. I wouldn’t say it's a dual timeline like the third book in the series, just quick glimpses.

I started on book three of this series, meaning I haven’t read Jen’s story yet. I really liked reading more about her & I’m pretty sure her book is the next I’ll read from this series.

Caution though, if you don’t like the third act break-up proceed with caution. It’s not something I’m crazy for, but in this book it works.

If you like small town romance, enemies to lovers, & he falls first then add this to your TBR.

Once again, Annabelle McCormack has the ability to write such an angsty love story that I may have shed a tear or two. I love that she always tackles relationship issues head on. There is nothing fluffy about her romances. She includes just enough drama in her storylines that they don’t become your typical saccharine sweet contemporary romances.

This book takes on the Wagner/Yardley feud that has been alluded to in the previous books in this series. Travis Wagner and Lindsay Yardley are thrown together to resolve this life-long feud and reveal that the hostility goes far beyond any reason they could have ever imagined. The story is told through two timelines, present day and one over the course of time in the past.

I’ve only read the first in the series and started the other two books but I wanted to make sure I read this one in time for its release. This book works as a standalone but if you’re planning to read the series it would help to read them in order.

❤️‍🩹What I didn’t love: My only complaint is that I prefer shorter chapters. This one has some really lengthy chapters.

The Wagner and Yardley families have been enemies for years. Now, as Brandywood's downtown is under criticism, the youngest of the families, Travis and Lindsay team up to try and settle the unrest. What everyone doesn't know? The two have been secretly hooking up for years.

Brandywood is one of my favorite fictional towns. It is so cute and filled with some amazing characters. Here's what I loved in this new installment.

Travis and Lindsay. These two were the world for me. While they both have strong family ties, they have very different approaches to their families. This added an interesting layer to their relationship and hesitation to actually start something together.

He falls first. Travis is such a SIMP for Lindsay and I was here for it. I love a good lifelong crush storyline!

The town. Brandywood is so richly built. My hat is off to McCormack for creating a warm and dynamic setting that gets better with each book.

The spice. This is the spiciest Brandywood book to date and I'm here for it!

All in all, this is a perfect small town Romeo and Juliet-like book that will steal your heart.

Thank you to the author for the gifted copy!

If you are looking for an enemy to lovers, family rivals, Hallmark vibes kind of books, this is for you. This book has the present timeline of two main characters that are from rivaling families that don’t want to be rivals anymore. You have the past timeline of their grandparents that show how the rivalry started. The prologue of this book had me in my feels before the actual story started, and the FMC’s brother, Logan, had me ready to fight. I will say if he were my brother I would never forgive him for what he did, ever. Also, how her dad didn’t beat the crap out of her brother once he found out what happened was beyond me. I feel like he got off scot free. This book will make you think about just how important your family’s opinion of who you date truly is, and how much you will put up with before you say enough is enough.

Thank you to the author for allowing me to read the arc for an honest review.

"I’ve had a couple of drinks and Travis Wagner is in my vicinity. I’m a victim of circumstance unable to steer away from this collision course. "

I would’ve given this book 5 stars if Lindsay could’ve detach herself from her family at least towards the end of the book, I mean being almost 30 and still needing your family approval for your life choices is worrying at least.

Nevertheless, I loved this book. Travis was pretty much consistent about his thoughts and feelings- once he realised he’s in love with Lindsay there was no coming back and no second thoughts, fact which made the reading sooo satisfying. Yes, he loved his family- but chose to put his feelings above their hate for Lindsay’s family. Lindsay, as I said, annoyed the shit out of me at times- but I loved the person she became when she was around Travis- her wild real true self.

But what I liked the most about this read was the backstory of Peter and Bernadette. I would read a book about their full story anytime!! So simply put, we got not one- but two amazing love stories within this book- and I ate them up.

Some quotes that made me feel (something):

"Nothing never means nothing."

"I think I’m ready to stop worrying about happily ever after and just think more about happy endings."

"Because each moment without her feels like a lifetime."

"How can I miss something- someone- I never had?"

“Sex is a very important part of character development” Nana said, sitting straighter. She raised her chin. “I love a good steamy novel. Write down the name of that book for me later, dear.”

"Being with the right person brings joy like nothing else does."

"I want you. Only you. And not just for a night."

"Was that what love was? Travis was convinced it was. It’s just always been her."

"I came for my girl."


Note: I received an ARC and this is my honest review of the book.

I have not read any of the other books in this series, but was able to understand this one just fine. This book gave off modern Romeo and Juliet vibes which is really fun! Travis and Lindsay were super cute and fun together! They had a ton of chemistry. Brandywood was super charming. I recommend this book and author!

Thank you to Netgalley and Victory Editing Netgalley Co-op for the arc!

Until Forever Ends is the 4th book by Annabelle McCormack in the Brandywood Small Town Romance Series.

I hadn't read any of the other books in the series prior to this one, but I had no problems following the story and feel that this can standalone with no problems.

Lindsay and Travis are enemies due to feud between their families, but are they really? They've been hooking up sporadically for ten years and are in denial about their true feelings for each other. Things come to a head when Travis is dumped on Valentine's Day by the woman who he was seeing who said she didn't want anything for Valentine's Day (but really, she did) and after he scrambles to get her flower, candy, and even takes her to his families arch enemy's business she humiliates him where everyone can see it. Lindsay is bartending at the family business when all of this is happening and she is also fighting with her brother who is in charge of the family bar when this happens. Watching her brother Logan kick out and threaten to fight Travis is the last straw, and she leaves with a bottle of tequila. After seeing Travis, they drink and hook up one last time.

The story tells the back story of their grandparents being in love with each other and how the feud originally began and weaves a tale that is intriguing and easy to follow.

I liked that Travis is more into Lindsay than she is in to him throughout the story - it was a different take and one that was interesting to read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC for an honest opinion. All views are my own. I'm off to read the first three in the series.

A great mildly spicy romance about two people in love with each other but their family despises one another.

I love this little town and I can't wait to read the rest of the books!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

I read the 1st book in the series ‘all this time’. I was confused a little about the order in the series since book 4 is getting released before book 3. Either way, I love the characters in Brandywood and the small town romances. I liked the revisiting of characters, but definitely wouldn't mind hearing about Sam and Garret. Travis and Lindsay were star crossed lovers over feuding families. I could definitely have used more flashbacks from their past to build up their romance more. But I loved how sweet Travis was and Lindsay’s grand gesture at the end.

Firstly, I loved the dedications in this book. I had a really rough day when I sat down to read and so it was nice to know I wasn't alone. This gave off more intense and modern Romeo and Juliet vibes. It was a very easy read and I enjoyed it. There was just one think I disliked about the book and that was the point of views, and wording in relation to that was a bit difficult to get through.

Until Forever Ends is book 4 is A Brandywood Small Town Romance series by Annabelle McCormack.
I really enjoyed reading about Travis and Lindsay’s journey. So many moments that made this book not only cute but funny too. I also loved the small town vibes! With such great writing it was really easy to read and enjoy.
The characters were likable, the town was nostalgic and just perfect.
This was a cute, fun romance. I really love McCormack’s writing and can’t wait to read more from her.

Thank You NetGalley and Victory Editing for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

Great book. Travis and Lindsay have so much chemistry that makes for a great book. I loved how they had to work around the huge family feud. Each's others family just hated the other one. So it was a struggle for Travis and Lindsey which I think added to the story. Once I started reading, I just kept on reading and finished it quickly. Can't wait to read another by this author!
