Mine: Forever and Always

The story “Mine: Forever and Always” by Tammy L. Bailey caught my attention when Henry Dalton, whispers these words to Lily Scott, his sister’s best friend. She remembers these words several years later when a house party forces the two together again. However, Henry appears to forgotten her name, and Lily is determined to move on from her feelings for Henry. Throw into the mix, Henry’s sister, Jane, who appears to be trying to garner the affection of another, but is really playing matchmaker.
The main characters are well developed which is an accomplishment given that this is a novella. Henry’s reasons for keeping Lily at a distance, is quickly explained and Lily’s feeling are not easily dismissed. I particularly enjoyed the character of Jane, who manages to innocently weave events to her liking. I hope that she appears in a future novel by Ms Bailey. This novel had me smiling the whole way through with the banter between all the characters. The only disappointing aspect to this book was that it ended too soon. Definitely, a must read!
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. Enjoyed the book. The story of Lily and Henry is suitable to any age group because it is a sweet well written romance.

Jane Dalton likes parlour games & always has done six years earlier when Jane & her friend Lily Scott were just shy of fifteen years old, she held a fake and impromptu wedding ceremony, between Lily her brother, Henry Dalton. It seemed harmless enough until he leaned in and whispered to her his true feelings, amorous words she has been unable to forget: Now you're mine, forever and always.
Unfortunately, growing up pulls them apart and transforms Henry into a pompous scoundrel who barely seems to remember Lily’s name. They meet again at a house party hosted by Jane where notes fall into the wrong hands.
A quick, easy, clean & enjoyable read, that was a nice way to pass a rainy afternoon. The characters are well developed & likeable. Henry & Lily have both formed differing opinions of each other but when they are paired with other party members jealousy rears it’s head. There are also misunderstandings to be rectified. The pace of the book is good. The lively conversations keep you smiling. I look forward to reading more from the author

My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

I found the historical romance to be short but good. Solid writing.

love this book, will tell all my friends, a must read

A lovely read for me. Really enjoyed the story line that involved some misunderstandings, lovely conversations and unrequited love.
I received an ARC of this book, via Net Galley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.

A great story to read in one sitting to get your Regency Romance dose in. It's a nice beezy read without major issues but with a lot of misunderstandings. Worth the read.
