My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness I thought I was going to have to go for therapy after this , I kid you not but fret not I’m ok , my heart survived but I can’t say the same for my kleenex supply or chocolate supply 🤣🙈

Every so often you read a book that you don’t want to share with others because the characters and their story climbed into your heart so deep and this is one of them but at the same time I want to tell the world of these beautiful people ❣️

So Hope and Adam didn’t meet by chance even though they think so , you see Adam is about to propose to his dying girlfriend , Ivory and she knew what was coming and she planned for their paths to cross before she was even gone …, ( already crying again )

Adam just wanted to give ivory the world and despite knowing her prognosis he loved her anyway ! How can I not love this man !? When she’s gone he takes a knock , a hard one and with the encouragement of his friends he seeks help and he doesn’t see his counsellor face to face …,,he seems to be living again and my heart sores bug at the same time it twitches with anxiety because I know what’s coming ( at the time I was expecting what’s to come 🤣🙈)

Hope is a giver , she puts everything and everyone first which is such a beautiful character trait but at the same time she more often than not bites the short end of the stick and Adam just seems to complete her but when she connects the dots her world nearly crumbles ( as did mine )

There was a time when I was cross with Ivory but not for long and I’m so grateful for her intervention and that she saw what these 2 could be together and to each other 🥰

This really is a beautifully sad read and it will stay with you for quite some time 🥰📚

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story was heart wrenching and beautiful. There were twists and turns I never saw coming. Adam and Hope both have so many things to overcome if they are ever to find the forever they both seek but have given up on finding.

Almost and Forever, by Angela K. Parker, was such a touching book all about loss and love. I was so enthralled with the characters as they met at the water fountain, feeling a deep pull between the two characters who met while making wishes in the wishing well. What a shock to find out that Adam (Ace), our leading male character, was there with his girlfriend, Ivory, and not with Hope (Ava). As I read deeper through the book, I got more and more invested in the lives of Hope and Adam and was rooting for a second chance at love for the poor guy who’d lost his love in the saddest way possible. As we get to see more of who Ivory was, it amazes me how much no one knew about her or what she had been planning before her tragic end. The title of this book is so appropriate, it is such an amazing story that speaks to the true romantic. I am hoping that the author will write more books like this one, it was such a refreshing change to the usual romance books that I usually read.

Almost and Forever: An Emotional Second Chance at Love Romance

I have so many emotions going in right now. I just finished reading this book and oh my goodness. I so enjoyed the book and love Adam & Hope.

I thankfully was unable to relate to Adam but he really made my heart for him as he deals with the loss. He doesn’t handle things in the best way but grief makes you do stupid stuff.

Hope had a great job, friends and family. Doesn’t have a lot of baggage and is overall a happy person. She and Adam seem to be in the right place at the right time starting on New Years and cross paths a few times over the course of a few months.

I have read at least one other book by Ms. Parker which I enjoyed. I will be reading more by her in the future.

This was a really sad book I don’t know if my pregnancy hormones made it worse. Even though it’s sad it’s still a really good book and I highly recommend reading it. It shows how much you will do for someone you love. Even if you know you can’t have forever. It also shows how much you can heal when you open up to somebody.

My god this was such a beautiful book! Heartbreaking but beautiful! The character development, the angst, the sadness…I literally loved every page! It made me feel! It made me cry. I love when words on paper can bring tears to my eyes! In my opinion that means it’s beautifully written if you can bring that much emotion out of me. I highly encourage you to read this if you don’t mind a tear jerker!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a beautifully written second chance romance. The author covers some topics in this book which maybe hard for some readers such as grief, dealing with grief and the anger and pain that is caused by losing a loved one. This book really tugs at the heart strings and the characters are so well written and developed that you can’t help feeling all the emotions they go through.
As well as being a story about loss it is also a story about hope and healing and how finding the right person can help you through anything life throws at you no matter how big or small.

Hope and Adam meet several times. The first time they were both in relationships but they couldn’t ignore the chemistry between them.
The next time they meet Adam was struggling with the loss of a loved one and Hope was struggling to find the love she has been craving.
Adams loss has left him filled with anger and hurt and he has closed himself off from people but when he sees Hope being harassed by some guy he can’t help but step in.
Both of them realise that something is bringing them together over and over again but are they prepared to take the risk of putting their hearts on the line again?

This is a beautiful story. As you read your heart will break for the characters but as you carry on their story and they start to heal each other you can feel that sense of healing coming through to heal you as well.
I enjoyed this heartfelt emotional story

Tissues, all of the tissues. This is a wonderfully written, true love story, that is so easy to get attatched to. It’s the love story that, even despite the hurt, and heartache, sometimes those who are supposed to be in your life, will always find their way back. Applause to the author for writing a masterpiece.

This packed a few punches, some of them very unexpected!! The journey of Adam and Hope is one filled with twists, turns, love, loss, hope, and forever. Some parts I could see coming, others hit out of left field. I enjoyed this read and felt a part of this story, as another neighbor next door.

This story isn’t for everyone. There is loss and it’s pretty traumatic. Please use discernment when picking this book up to read if you’re going through a hard time. It is worth the read when you’re ready though!

This was my first read by this author but I love her writing style and I’ll be looking for more of her work!

Almost and Forever is a story about love, loss and hope. I felt absolutely every kind of emotion as I read this story. I had the giddy, “this is the cutest ever” feelings, the chills and the tears. The first couple chapters had me completely invested, needing to read on, looking forward to bedtime to get a couple more chapters in! The characters in this book are the type that you want all the best in the world for, the type so well written you feel like you know them personally. If you want a story that will evoke raw emotion and leave you thinking about it long after it’s finished, Almost and Forever is definitely worth a try!

This story follows Adam and Hope. This is a contemporary romance novel that tells the story of love, loss, and second chances. It follows these two as they navigate through life’s challenges and discover the power of love. Adam was dealing with a loss and certainly did not expect to run into Hope again. Hope wanted Adam but the timing was not right. The second time though – maybe, just maybe, he could be hers.

My emotions are not okay after reading this book. The story of Hope and Adam is passionate, raw and pure. The author builds each character separately while simultaneously intertwining their stories into a beautiful tale. I needed tissues and time with this one. Each time I put the book down I had to process what I had read. I love books that invest readers in their characters, connect them and make them feel a part of their world. This book is definitely one of those. Get some tissues ready and hold on to your heart because it is a fantastically emotional ride!

Don’t you just love romance books? Sometimes you can get so tired of the way love stories are written but not with this story. Angela does a wonderful job of reeling you and making all the feelings come. You will have so many emotions in this story, and it will demand you to read more and see how Adam and Hope’s intertwinement grows and forms.

When Hope and Adam meet the first time, they are both in relationships. The next time they meet, Hope is single and Adam has suffered an unimaginable loss that has made him bitter and angry. The third time they meet, Hope has come to face-to-face with her ex and Adam does what he can to ease the awkward tension. From there, the two decide that their friendship must be fate. Even with both guarding their hearts out of fear of being hurt, there are some things that feel as though they are meant to be. However, as feelings deepen and truths come out….maybe they were never meant to be at all. What happens when others are pulling the strings of your life? Can your own feelings be trusted?

This was an amazing story of love, loss, and healing. There were moments that my emotions were rolling down my cheeks in the form of tears. I can’t even imagine what Adam was going through. And, it seemed as though these two were fated to find each other and fall in love. But, when the pieces start clicking together and they find out there were people working behind the scenes….can they trust their feelings for each other? I was rooting for them and hoping they could each heal themselves together. This was a great book that I did not want to put down. I will recommend this to anyone who asks for an emotional love story!

This book pulled at my heart from the start. Hope and Adam will definitely steal your heart. There’s just about everything you could want in this story. Yes it’s a story with loss but the outcome is beautiful. The author writes a beautiful story with hard subjects and it’s done wonderfully. There’s times I had tears running down my face but there was also times of laughter. The author balances it well. It’s got a nice pace never felt rushed or drawn out unnecessarily. I’d definitely recommend this story to anyone and give it five stars.

This story is raw and emotional but so beautifully written…..this story at times just gutted me to my core. This story is a blend of love, loss, forgiveness, secrets, trying to hold on but have to let go with some twists I definitely did not see coming. I cannot stop thinking about this story of Adam and Hope……

Adam and Hope meet on a chance encounter….never thinking they would meet again. When Adam suffers an unimaginable loss, he slowly spirals downward. Hope and Adam meet again hence another chance encounter, this time it is not so kind. Grief consumes Adam until Hope brings him back to life with her kindness and friendship…until it becomes more. When blurred lines are crossed and secrets are revealed will Adam and Hope’s love survive….

I highly recommend reading this book….it is hard not to give anything away…..but you will not be disappointed. Grab some tissues….this is a fantastic read.

Almost and Forever is a Contemporary Romance about finding love and happiness after suffering the loss of a lived one. My emotions were all over the place as Adam went through the notions after loosing someone very special to him. Hope is drawn to Adam in ways she don’t understand. He’s a stranger but makes her feel things she shouldn’t be. She follows her heart and so does he eventually and these two are great together. But what will happen when the truth comes out? Will Adam allow his heart to heal from his loss. Can he get the happy ending he deserves? I highly recommend reading this book and having kleenexes nearby. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

This was an emotionally charged story. The author pulls you into the story from the beginning with her beautiful writing skills. This story is about love, loss, heartache, forgiveness, guilt, and wonderful characters. I felt so many different emotions while reading this. Hope and Adam’s characters felt relatable and I couldn’t help but feel connected to them as I’m following along their journey of love. This was much more than just a romantic story. Even though you have a pretty good idea of what was going to happen between Hope and Adam after Hope makes the wish at the fountain, there were still some unexpected twists. I truly enjoyed the emotional journey I was taken on with this story. I recommend this book.

This was a bitter-sweet story. The novel is written in such a way that the read is immediately drawn in and can’t stop reading until the last word. I love that the author doesn’t shy away from tragedy and the relationships feel so real. I appreciate the two POVs of the main characters, knowing their take on events and seeing the complexity of the situation through their eyes. Though the book itself isn’t that long, the pacing felt natural, though the relationship between the main characters does evolve rather quickly when you think back on it. Regardless, I love their romance and the feeling of healing and resolution I got from their story!

Ugh, Hope and Adam are sickly sweet. I loved them together even when I didn’t want to. I was shocked in the beginning with Ivory, I thought she disliked Adam was going to a horrid girlfriend. Obviously I was wrong, I loved the twist with her in the end. I can support her stalking. I do feel things with Adam and Hope happened a little too quickly, I know you can’t decide when you fall in love but a few more months of him grieving would have made me feel a little better. I like that Ivory wasn’t just pushed to the side in the story. It makes things more believable and I like that they were both connected to her in some way. Definitely recommend to readers looking for a fast paced romance.

Oh, Hope and Adam, your journey pulled me in and did not want to let me go. I was completely and utterly thrown into a world of grief, love, forgiveness, second chances, and a touch of drama. While yes this is a romance book, it’s not your “normal romance” and I think that is what made me love it so much. Adam and Hope truly is what pulled you in and did not let you go. When I read a good romance, I want to feel the emotions of the main characters, I want to feel emotions myself and I sure did. I highly recommend this book and this author. I was simply blown away by this five-star read and I didn’t want the story to end.

Almost and Forever
By: Angela K. Parker

This is one of those books that really impacts you as you read and definitely stays with you for some time after reading.
Angela K. Parker writes a fantastic romance with characters that are truly so well developed that you feel that they have become a part of you and your family. This is a story where loss brings about a once in a life time romance. The romance that fills your very soul. This book features two incredibly amazing characters in Adam and Hope. Adam is dealing with an incredibly tragic loss and Hope is looking for something. That something is what she hasn’t quite put her finger on.
This is the type of romances I long to read. The ones that leave me feeling wistful after I finish reading it and reluctant to go back to the real world. However, it also left me looking at the people I interact with differently. I felt a little more hopeful about the world. This is the perfect book to read as you are lying in bed! I definitely recommend reading it!

I felt connected to Hope from the very start. She has a vision for her life and isn’t going to settle for anything less than wonderful.
Adam’s story is relatable and yet heartbreaking. He is reluctant to open up again with what happened the last time he did.
To open your heart after such a monumental loss is difficult and scary. But it seems like their paths just keep crossing and have been for months, since their first chance encounter At what point do you just cave in and let fate take over, just accepting that maybe this person is put in your life for a reason?

Grab your tissues and block out some time because once you start you will be hooked on this book.
