For Now and Forever (The Inn at Sunset Harbor—Book 1) Kindle Edition

“Sophie Love's ability to impart magic to her readers is exquisitely wrought in powerfully evocative phrases and descriptions….FOR NOW AND FOREVER is the perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It's a delightful recommendation for romance readers looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads.”
--Midwest Book Review (Diane Donovan)

“FOR NOW AND FOREVER is a very well written novel, describing the struggle of a woman (Emily) to find her true identity. The author did an amazing job with the creation of the characters and her description of the environment. The romance is there, but not overdosed. Kudos to the author for this amazing start of a series that promises to be very entertaining.”
--Books and Movies Reviews, Roberto Mattos

Emily Mitchell, 35, living and working in New York City, has struggled through a string of failed relationships. When her boyfriend of 7 years takes her out for their long-awaited anniversary dinner, Emily is sure that this time will be different, that this time she will finally get the ring.

When he gives her a small bottle of perfume instead, Emily knows the time has come to break up with him—and for her entire life to have a fresh start.

Reeling from her unsatisfying, high-pressure life, Emily decides she needs a change. She decides on a whim to drive to her father’s abandoned home on the coast of Maine, a sprawling, historic house where she’d spent magical summers as a child. But the house, long-neglected, is in dire need of repair, and the winter is no time to be in Maine. Emily hasn’t been there in 20 years, when a tragic accident changed her sister’s life and shattered her family. Her parents divorced, her father disappeared, and Emily was never able to bring herself to step foot in that house again.

Now, for some reason, with her life reeling, Emily feels drawn to the only childhood place she ever knew. She plans on going just for a weekend, to clear her head. But something about the house, its numerous secrets, its memories of her father, its oceanfront allure, its small-town setting—and most of all, its gorgeous, mysterious caretaker—doesn’t want to let her leave. Can she find the answers she’s been looking for here, in the most unexpected place of all?

Can a weekend become a lifetime?

FOR NOW AND FOREVER is book #1 in the debut of a dazzling new romance series that will make you laugh, make you cry, will keep you turning pages late into the night—and will make you fall in love with romance all over again.

Book #2--FOREVER AND FOR ALWAYS--is also available!

Had to stop reading
I really hate to leave negative reviews, and I will say that the author is a decent story teller, but good grief, did she not do any research? No car, especially one that is neglected, is going to be able to drive for 8 hours on one tank of gas. How did the attendant at the long-term parking lot know she was coming to get her car? Why in the world was she barefoot? Who drives to Maine from New York in the winter in bare feet? In a snowstorm? How did she gain access to the house that sat abandoned for 20 years? There was no mention of a key. Did she really sleep in a bed that was abandoned for 20 years? Ewww! Why was there a washer/dryer in the pantry? Those old houses all have basements and the washers and dryers are in the basements! The author uses the word "orientated" at one point. There is no such word. It's "oriented". When the "heroine" starts looking for a shovel INSIDE the house, I finally gave up and stopped reading. The only reason I ordered this book was because it had five stars. So misleading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very nice story

I really enjoyed reading For Now and Forever. The story is well-written and the characters well-developed. It is a story about New Yorker Emily coming to her abandoned father's home in Maine for a getaway and finding she doesn't want to leave. She is faced with an unknown community and people and struggles to fit in. On top of all that she has to deal with a man who has been living on the. It is a story about growing, of finding one's way, and of following a dream. It is the story of life itself, of overcoming obstacles and learning where friends are truly found and freeing oneself from the past. It also is a story of romance, and opening up to what can happen between two people. I highly recommend this story.

Interesting story where a young woman realizes the life she is living doesn't fulfill her, so she quits her job, leaves her boyfriend of seven years and travels to her family summer house that has been left empty for over twenty years.

The story continues with her trials of making numerous mistakes and has to has others rescue her from a snowstorm, no power in the home, and a massive storm later on. She learns to rely on others as she slowly makes friends with the townspeople. She also realizes that her new life here in the small Maine town is perfect to heal old wounds. Memories of a tragic childhood accident is revealed through her process of repairing and restoring the old home. She also learns to love again when the home's caretaker not only helps care for the home but for her also.

A quick read that is entertaining. Some of the actual situations don't always make sense because the author leaves out some specific details. How a car starts after seven years of being stored, how she is able to drive all day without stopping, how she knows how to get to the summer home when she hasn't been there for over twenty years and at that time was just a teenager. If the author would fill in some of these details, I think the book would get five starts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Story
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2017

This book is sweet and more than a little inspiring. The story takes off right from the first chapter. There is no lag and dwelling on Emily's (the heroine of the story) thoughts about giving up her life in New York, she simply jumps in her junker of a car and heads off into the sunset to begin a new life. Sophie Love did an amazing job of diving straight into the story so that the reader is not left bored and floundering as her character goes into emotional turmoil. Instead, you are left feeling proud of this brave young woman as she takes back the reins of control in her life. Her new home and the small town and its inhabitants, together with the hero, of course, are so well described that the reader feels like you are taking each step of the journey with Emily. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end, with its twists and turns and the family mystery which adds an interesting, if tragic, note to the story. A lovely read.

The book was very real to me because I knew the Maine setting the author used which made the descriptions very real. I could “see” the large estate on West Street with the ocean in the back. I look forward to reading future books in this series.

A lovely romance with just a bit to keep you guessing of things to come. Easy to read. However, as we with as many books today the story is never truly finished. I like a story to be told in one book however big it is not have to continually keep purchasing more.
