Forevermore Paperback – July 7, 2014

I very much enjoyed learning how well M is doing with her relationship. Olivia loved her with everything she had and was always there to encourage M. M, who had experienced so much heartbreak as a foster child and wanted to provide a safe haven for someone else. Enter Olivia. She was such a sweet girl and loved M & B so much and was so happy with them. This is a story of love and acceptance as much as anything else. It did my heart good to follow the characters through to the end. Highly recommend this second book about M & B. Many thanks to Lynn Gallie for sharing this one.

I adored M in the first novel about Briony and M, so I was excited to see that there was a follow-up book. I have to say that this has made me cry several times every time I read it. Lynn Galli captures the emotion of all of the characters so well and you have to feel for them.It was nice to see the characters I loved from Blessed Twice in a different context - they were recognisable, and yet the insight into who they are grew through the story.I highly recommend this book - and all of Lynn Galli's books. She makes you fall in love with every character she writes.

As stated by Lynn Galli this was intended as a novella that grew a bit. Maybe even a novel by some measures. The two viewpoints are M, of course, and Olivia her foster child with Briony. The writing is strong and Olivia's (foster home) street smarts and the reality of the foster care system is well done even while troubling (to someone that has never had to deal with it). Well done overall and getting to hear Olivia's thoughts and interpretations of life around her was exceptional. A great choice for one of the voices for the story.A longer story would have gotten more stars (from me) but at the price and length combination it was definitely worth the price. I always buy her books in paperback as I don't like to transition media types for an author. In any genre. I am looking forward to her next book, regardless of the location.

This Virginia Clan series is a thoroughly enjoyable read which spans five separate titles. If you can read them in sequence, you can enjoy the intricacies and subtleties of the multiple relationships and friendships covered in the series. These are all well told tales of competent, successful women who struggle like the rest of us to live a full life including a loving relationship, family, and friends.While they are stand-alone titles, they are so interconnected you gain the best experience by reading them in order as a series.Well done, Ms. Galli, this series is an absolute joy to experience.

Had to go back and read the series from the beginning before reading this. Very good reads. I love the Virginia series. But to best understand this book read at least Blessed Twice first. Forevermore is continuing the life of M and Briony, with their family expanding. So this is a established relationship. And romance... of the real life kind. The love of a partner. The love and worry one feels as a parent. The story also goes deeper in to the character of M. Foster parenting and beeing a foster child. Also we are introduced to the thoughts of Olivia the new family member. Dynamics between the family members and also Virginia friends.

I really can't say much more for this story. It is definitely one of my favorites by Lynn and I reread it every time I want a love story that makes me feel hopeful.I recommend this story for the hopeful romantics who love to witness two women find more in life by loving each other.

This is a direct sequel to Blessed Twice, and chronicles a year in M and Briony's lives as they take in a foster daughter. Olivia is first mentioned in Willa's epilogue (Finally) and this story fleshes out the impact taking her in has on the family.At first I was worried when I realised that the POV would be swapping between M and Olivia, I can see why Olivia's POV was necessary but I'd still have preferred that it was used a bit less. The story loses some traction around the mid point and I found myself skimming a bit through the Olivia sections at that point.I loved the interactions between the family, M and Bri, or each of them with the kids or the two kids together. There's also some wonderful interaction between M and Willa, some of the best moments in the book happen between them. The other VA characters are mentioned, and I noticed that Lynn doesn't seem to like the outer characters (those without their own stories) much either, as they are only mentioned in group scenes and always in a way that is bringing the fun down.This is a nice slice of life story, and I loved M and Briony in Blessed Twice, so was happy to spend time with them (and their family) again. I'd give it 3 1/2 stars if Amazon allowed it, I only marked it down from four stars because of the overuse of Olivia's POV. It's still a nice read.

I loved meeting M and Briony in Blessed Twice so to have a chance to spend time with them again in Forevermore was a wonderful thing. And Lynn Galli did a wonderful job of expanding their characters and letting them grow along with the introduction of Olivia. This story touched my heart with it's thoughtful understanding of human interactions and creating that chosen Family to love and support. I highly recommend this story.

Another stunningly good book from Lynn Galli on the lives of the Virginia clan friends. This book made me laugh and cry, it's characters and the story are entirely believable. M and Briony's love story and family are complete in this well written and completely believable book.A must read to complete the series.

Another great book by Lynn Galli with two of my favourite characters, M and Briony. Lovely story line and great chemistry between the protagonists. Although this is not really a romance per se the pace of the story and depth of emotion throughout the book makes it a real page turner.

Another memorable read by this author. I have all of Ms.Galli's books and list them amongst my favourites.

Another great book from Lynn Galli in the Virginia Clan series. This continues the story of M and Briony from " Blessed Twice" A must for all fans of this author who never fails to move with her stories of love and romance

Really moving story and lovely sequel. One of the few stories to portray a long-term relationship of a gay couple and their family.
