My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is an emotional and beautiful story that really tugs at your heartstrings. The author has done an amazing job of portraying loss and grief and the conflicting emotions this can bring with it. And through all of this, the connection between the characters really stood out. It was strong and consistent and really added another layer to the story.
I was pulled into this story right from the start and couldn’t put it down until I had finished reading it. I wanted to see how everything would play out and what would happen to the characters. I became really invested in them and their journey. I definitely shed tears reading this book and it entirely worth it. I would highly recommend this book, it is fantastic.

Good gravy Miss Daisy! I was on an emotional rollercoaster with this book. Things would go absolutely fantastic and then out of no where sucker punch to the gut, wash, rinse and repeat. Ms. Parker does an absolute fantastic job with showing the stages of grief in a healthy way. Adam and Hope are great together. They have a few bumps along the way and sometimes huge pot holes to navigate, but Hope makes sure that Adam doesn’t shut her out or shut down. She makes sure he communicates what he’s feeling. Sweet sweet Adam. I just want to wrap this man in a blanket and keep him from all hurt. Reading this book made me feel all of the feels, but it was definitely worthwhile in the end.

Almost and Forever was different. Not a bad different, but a fantastic different. The author sucks the reader into a tearjerker. This book is filled with love, turmoil, grief, understanding, loyalty, guilt, and every other feeling under the sun. You don’t always get all those in a romance. You always get some of it but not as in depth. The story that was told was sad but healing and that’s what I loved about it.
Ava/Hope finds herself making a New Years wish. What she wasn’t expecting was the handsome stranger asking her what she wished for. Little did she know that in time he would become a huge life changing piece of her life. In more ways than one.
Adam has been through the ringer. He lost the woman he loves. How is he expected to move forward? Ivory tried to prepare him, yet he kept turning a blind eye to reality. What was completely unexpected was coming across the unforgettable woman from New Years. He called her Hope for a reason, will he realize that?
These two end up on a collision course they didn’t see coming, is it for the best?
I enjoyed how the author presented the story. Even though you could figure out what was going to happen, the author kept the reader guessing on the how and when. Which made it even better. I look forward to coming across more books by this author in the future.

This is a beautiful story. I really loved the characters, and the way the story is written really makes you slow down and adsorb what’s going on in the story around you. It was a bit of a slower read, but i really enjoyed all of the details the author put into it. It’s well written and thought out. Highly recommend.

Almost and Forever by Angela K. Parker is a contemporary romance with love, loss, pain, grief, chemistry, challenges, dramatic developments, second chances, forgiveness, and hope. This isn’t your typical hearts and flowers romance, this is a raw, heartbreaking, and impactful tale where the author will toy with your emotions, shaking you up like a snow globe, before tending to your wounds. I recommend having wine and tissues close at hand for this read.
There are also possible triggers for some readers, so be aware before diving in. Sensitive topics include death of a loved one.
This is a beautiful, albeit heartbreaking tale of ‘all good things are worth the wait’, fate, second chances, overcoming obstacles, hope, forgiveness, and the healing power of love.
Looking forward to exploring more of Ms. Parker’s work…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Angela K. Parker!

This is definitely not your typical love story but it was easy to read and I could barely put it down. I read it in one afternoon. I giggled out loud, cried a couple times, and got a bit of a surprise also(always nice). The character development was also nice to follow and see how it ended.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Almost and Forever is a sad, beautiful, and hopeful love story. “Hope” is a therapist who is looking for love but isn’t having any luck. It was New Year’s Eve when she realized her boyfriend was not her lifelong love. Her boyfriend was working that night and she was making a wish at her favorite fountain when “Hope” started up a conversation with a man and had a weird draw to him. While they did not say much verbally, the chemistry between the two was electric. However, Adam is thinking about proposing to his girlfriend. We come to find out that both of them found a connection, but it provided a different perspective for both of them. Adam is a successful man who ends up lost until a certain woman comes into his life. There are a lot of ups and downs, secrets, sadness, hope, and so much love in this book. I enjoyed everything about it. The characters were amazing. They each were patient, loving, brave, etc. The book moved quickly and was never boring. Things progressed beautifully and I was excited to see where their journey would end.

This story is heartbreaking and sweet and so full of love and understanding. I love the way this author writes a flawed character in Adam. He may be a tough guy but he’s human and real. With real feelings and problems. I love that he finds himself at rock bottom and is able to rescue himself by asking for help. I love that he has “Hope”. Being a romantic at heart myself I believe everyone should have hope.

“Make every moment count” ~ Adam

“Use your head, but take notes from your heart. The head is no good without it.” ~ Mom

These quotes are not only from advice for the characters in this story but they are great pieces of advice for everyday readers! I like to say follow your heart but sometimes you must use your head.

**This book contains adult content and the loss of a loved one. It is not suitable for all readers. **

Almost and Forever is a heartachingly beautiful tale. Tissues please……. This old saying holds true in this case – “If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it’s yours. If not, it was never meant to be,”

It is a tale of love, loss, guilt, hope, want, need, anger, angst and forgiveness and so much more that it will have you smiling one moment and then crying the next all throughout.

The story flowed smoothly and with likeable but heartbreaking characters. I love that this book was written in both of the characters points of views, and I loved the care, the tenderness, and everything in between. There were times when I wanted to shake them and others when I wanted to wrap them in big hugs but as they say the road to happiness is not always straight.
When truths come to light it may just destroy everything.
He is all she has ever wanted but how can you compete will a ghost, when one’s heart is with another. Playing second fiddle is not a place she wants to be.
He is a mess, but she makes him want more only he is buried in his grief.
If you like a sweet romance with a few twists and turns, then give this author a go.

Hope

 

Adam Emerson was meant for me, but unfortunately, his heart belonged to someone else.

At a pivotal point in my life, I decided to end my relationship to make room for something new. My change of heart couldn’t have come at a better time.

My future began the moment I met Adam. Our first encounter showed his kindness. He swept in on a wish and was whisked away just as fast. During our second encounter, I got a glimpse of his anger. But the third revealed all of him—a man who loves fiercely, even in the midst of grief.

Adam

While dealing with a heartbreaking loss, I visited a local cafe for a reprieve. I didn’t expect to run into Hope again or to intervene when some guy approached her. The timing couldn’t have been worse for my interference, but she looked like she needed a reprieve too. After spending minutes with her, I wanted days, and the days turned into weeks. Hope showered my grief with kindness and doused my anger with love. When I wanted to lose control, she wouldn’t let me. She gave me space but kept me close. But there was more to her than I realized.

When a shocking discovery is revealed, I’m left wondering if our connection is strong enough to sustain us. Or is it the very thing that will tear us apart?
