Claim Me Forever

🩵 ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴛɪᴄ sᴜsᴘᴇɴsᴇ🌾 sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴛᴏᴡɴ🫂 ғᴏᴜɴᴅ ғᴀᴍɪʟʏ🩵 sɪɴɢʟᴇ ᴅᴀᴅ🏡 ғᴏʀᴄᴇᴅ ᴘʀᴏxɪᴍɪᴛʏ🚨 ʟᴇᴏ ᴍᴍᴄIf AL Jackson writes it, I am going to pick it up, devour it, and love every moment of it.This book is SO GOOD. Ezra and Savannah meet for the first time when Ezra finds her trespassing in a local farmers' land. After having her spend the night at the police station, he offers her his guest house and a job with his friend, Dakota. Yes, this man sees Savannah and immediately wants to protect her. Cue the swoon in my heart.But Savannah is only in Time River for one specific reason. She is on a mission, and even her attraction to Ezra and his children will not deter her from completing her mission. But as Savannah and Ezra (and his children) get closer, she finds it harder and harder to stick to her plan.AL's writing is stunningly beautiful, and this story flowed. The mystery was built up beautifully, and when the twist hit, I was FLOORED. I was also up until 1:30 am finishing this book, and I regret nothing. I do not want to reveal too much because this book should be experienced with little spoilers, but what I have learned is to trust NO ONE. 🤣🤣Ezra and Savannah's story is beautiful and full of belonging. The found family is so strong in this book, and I loved seeing Ezra immediately fall for Savannah and Savannah for Ezra and his children. The dinners, the slow burn, and the notes from Olivia were all added moments that spoke to this family. When Oliver called Savannah his, I melted with Savannah.I will be rereading this book very soon because I need another fix of Ezra and Savannah.

I have been enjoying the Time River series and I was so excited to get Ezra's story. Whew I thought Ryder was awesome but I just fell more in love with Ezra as I read. He just might be my favorite. I loved seeing how Ezra and Savannah just gravitated towards each other. They were just all around great and their interactions were everything. Seeing how their feelings progressed to so much more and what that means for them both. I also enjoyed Ezra's kids-so adorable and how they just wholeheartedly adjusted to Savannah in their lives. They lightened the page every time they were on. Savannah came to Time River for one thing but got more than she bargained for but exactly what she needed. I loved the camaraderie between Ezra, Ryder, Caleb, and Cody as well as the girls, Savannah, Dakota, Paisely, and the other girls. The friendships were strong and endearing. I loved this story from beginning to end and I couldn't get enough. Of course there was some suspense and it was intriguing. It was fascinating to see what would happen. Overall, a terrific story with awesome characters. I can not wait for Cody's book next. AL Jackson is one of my favorites and her book is once again a star.

When it comes to law enforcement in Time River, the town’s resident sheriff, Ezra Patterson, is one hot cop! He’s a brute of a man with honey-kissed eyes who is sweetly overbearing. A big, burly, grumpy teddy bear with a fierce protective streak and a soft, sincere soul. Thus, it’s little surprise that when Ezra happens upon a caramel-kissed blond with aqua eyes and a sassy ferocity camping out in her car on a local’s property, he instantly falls into protective mode, determined to safeguard the fiery little trespasser, Savannah Ward, throughout her stay in Time River.“I’d known from the beginning that she was a survivor. A fighter. The kind of survivor who’d clawed her way through the muck to find herself on the other side. Someone who wore her fear like a shield so no one could get too close to inflict wounds again.”Savannah Ward fled her harrowing past, beckoned to Time River for a purpose. She was searching for answers, and she needed to remain focused; to hold true to her priorities. She had no time for distractions or messy romantic entanglements, no matter how seriously hot the local cop happens to be.“The man was the most magnificent thing I’d ever seen, and I thought I finally understood what being awestruck really meant. He was a mountain of strength and bristling muscle. A tower that cast a cover of protection over the room.”Still, it doesn’t take long for sparks to fly, but danger lurks around every corner, as both Ezra and Savannah harbor secrets that threaten to keep them apart. They hold each other at arm’s length, keeping a safe distance, afraid to open up and fully trust. But Ezra and Savannah’s shared attraction is akin to two magnets constantly pulling toward the other. The force behind their desire is too strong to deny and impossible to resist. And when they finally do come together, there's no denying that "together" is exactly where they’ve always meant to be.“You’re everything I couldn’t believe existed and everything I’ve come to need.”“And you, Little Trespasser, stole into every place I wasn’t supposed to let you go.”“And together we were shattering the stars. Rising above the heavens. Floating somewhere that shouldn’t exist.”Claim Me Forever is the 3rd installment in A.L. Jackson’s Time River series, and Ezra and Savannah’s heartfelt journey doesn’t disappoint! Their steamy and suspenseful story is yet another testament to this author’s talent when it comes to writing romance, for she truly has the Midas touch.Prior to delving into this story, I thought I knew all about Ezra Patterson. He is a widower, a single dad, and Time River’s earnest sheriff. Yet there is so much more to Ezra than I ever could’ve realized, and his backstory is truly heartbreaking. But it’s his steadfast love for his children, his protective nature, and his unwavering devotion to his friends and family that truly set him apart, earning him a piece of my heart, surpassed only by the utter adorableness of sweet little Olivia, and her twin brothers, Owen and Oliver.While "Claim Me Forever" can certainly be read as a stand-alone, once you've visited Time River and fallen head-over-heels for Ezra and Savannah's story, you'll no doubt be returning to this picturesque mountain town, starting with the very first story.

In the depths of a dark night 🌌, Ezra stumbled upon a sleeping lady in her car and decided to do something quirky: he sorta-kinda arrested her to uncover her secrets, driven by his own colorful past and the need to protect his family and this mysterious woman who wouldn't leave his mind. Meanwhile, Savannah, with only her sister in her heart 💔, embarked on a quest to find her sibling after she disappeared, leading her to Time River armed with nothing but a journal 📖. Despite her reluctance to trust, she found herself drawn to the persistent sheriff, realizing that to embrace a future with him, she had to confront her own past.And oh boy, let me tell you about Ezra's kids! They were cuter than a basket of puppies 🐶, especially the way they treated Savannah. I mean, I was bawling like a baby over here! 😭 But back to the lovebirds, Ezra and Savannah. Their story was all about putting their past demons to rest so they could finally skip merrily into the sunset together 🌅. Plus, there was this whole suspense thing going on, and just when I thought I had it all figured out, BAM! Plot twist! 🎉 I loved this book and will be obsessed with it. 📚
