Forever for Us

The Wilder Brothers, Book 8

De: Carrie Ann Ryan

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Rose Dioro

The Wilder Brothers series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues with an enemies to lovers, workplace romance where Wyatt Wilder meets his match.

The moment I found out my ex-wife was cheating with my former best friend I knew I’d hit rock bottom, and it was time for a change. With the freshly signed divorce papers in hand, I want nothing to do with my old life as I start my new one with my brothers and our new distillery and bar on the Wilder Retreat.

Only when I see my former best friend’s ex, Ava, in need of a job, I can’t say no. Not when she has their eight-year-old daughter in tow and nowhere to go.

Now I’m forced to work with the woman from my past I’d rather forget. We both want to move on, but every time we’re near each other, the fire hadn’t known we could have burns between us even brighter.

We should say no. The complications would break us. Yet we can’t walk away.

Even when it would be safer for all of us if we do.

Loved Ava & Wyatt's story!

I loved Ava and Wyatt's romance! I both listened and read this one and couldn't really put it down, so when I couldn't read, because I was doing laundry or cooking, I immediately switched to the audio. The narrators were perfect for these characters. Wyatt was best friends with Ava's husband until he had an affair with his wife. Now Ava and Wyatt are both divorced and still reeling from what happened. Ava is barely getting by since her ex wiped out her savings and a lot of her belongings. Wyatt runs into Ava at her work when she is at a particularly low point and loses her job. He steps in and offers employment that comes with a place to live.

I really loved reading how they come together and their interactions as well as reading and listening to Wyatt interact with Ava's daughter, Faith. This was such a sweet romance, while also being emotional and angsty. Such a good read.

Powerful, moving and just meant to be!

How is it Rose Dioro made me feel all of Ava’s emotional turmoil with just her voice. Jason Clarke’s voice is simply dreamy and captures Wyatt perfectly. These two make an impeccable team!

I wanted to wrap Ava and Faith in a protective blanket and make sure they were loved forever. I should never have worried because Wyatt fills that role perfectly. Can you say swoon!!! The way Ava innocently heals Wyatt’s long broken heart was tender, raw and honest. And Wyatt just acts on instinct and pure protectionism, while he emotions slowly play catch up. It was beautiful and heart warming from the first to the last page. These two just naturally belong together and bring out the best in each other. And their chemistry is pure fire. Now I have to admit Faith is amazing!! That little girl is awesome.

Once friends. Twice enemies. Forever the passion.

After the epilogue in A WILDER WEDDING, I couldn't wait to get my hands on FOREVER FOR US. In that story, Wyatt is attacked in his bar after hours, and a pouch of money is stolen; this book picks up right from that point. This book can be read as a standalone, as with all of the books in this series, but they are interconnected since they revolve around a family. You can jump in at any point, but it will enhance your reading experience to have prior knowledge of each of the brothers and cousins as their stories occur.

Wyatt and Ava have a strange relationship; Wyatt was best friends with Ava's ex, and Ava was friends with Wyatt's ex when they were married. The four of them would vacation together and everything until one day when Wyatt came home to find his wife in bed with his best friend; needless to say, both marriages were heading to divorce court from that moment. The tragedy in it all was not the fact that their spouses cheated on them, but Ava's ex took EVERYTHING from her other than their daughter, and she is working at a job she hates to make ends meet. That is until Wyatt offers her a job as Assistant Manager at The Wilder Distillery and Bar.

Ava and Wyatt's story will pull at your heartstrings, especially the part where Ava's daughter Faith is affected. I loved this little girl and wanted to give her all the hugs she deserved. Suppose you have ever had the fortune to be a bonus parent. In that case, you know how precarious your relationship can be initially, but hold on because it can be the best thing ever if you show them that you aren't going anywhere and will love them wholeheartedly...yes, I speak from experience. I was so happy to see how invested Wyatt was with Faith even before he realized he wanted a relationship with Ava.

I listened to the audiobook, and Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro did a fantastic job bringing this story to life.

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy STEAMY Contemporary Romances, Romantic Suspense, Workplace Romances, Boss/Employee Romances, Single Mom Romances, or enemies-to-lovers Romances.

Happy Reading!!!

A wonderful love story!

Ava is struggling to take care of her daughter after her ex took everything in the divorce. After his divorce, Wyatt is putting all his energy into the new whiskey distillery he owns with is brothers. A chance encounter with Ava, his ex-best friend's ex-wife, will not only change her and her daughter's lives for the better, but his as well.

After witnessing her being fired from her crappy job, he offers her a job at his bar on the grounds of Wilder Retreat. With no other option and the thought of providing a safe place for her daughter to live, Ava accepts his offer. As they get into a routine, Wyatt and Ava give into their chemistry and begin to build a relationship. An unexpected visit from their ex's could change everything and deny them the HEA they both deserve.

A great, heartwarming story about two people being wronged by those they once loved and getting a second chance of finding their forever love. Narration by Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro do a wonderful job bringing out the emotions of these two characters.

Amazing enemies to lovers romance

I received this as an arc/alc from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was an amazing enemies to lovers romance. It was simply put my favorite book ever by this author. It was such an emotional story and I felt so connected to the characters, especially Ava who went through so much adversity but still stayed strong for Faith. Wyatt wasn’t always smooth in his relationship with Ava, but he always had the best intentions and their chemistry really was fantastic. I just loved the story.

Audiobook review: I loved the narration of this book. It was well paced and I was completely emerged in the story. Both narrators just did a fantastic job and I can definitely see myself listening to it again and again.

Forever for Us

The narration was good.

Forever For Us breaks the heart wide open .....

Love at it's most complicated. Wyatt and Ava take emotions on turbulent ride of heartache, temptation, redemption and romance. Forever For Us breaks the heart wide open to expose it's vulnerabilities. A second chance journey that is not always beautiful, but no less enduring.

loved this book

Another awesome Wilder book. I loved it! Wyatt and Ava both deserve something good to happen after both of their ex's cheated and Ava's took everything. Wyatt just wants the divorce to be final and Ava just wants to get her head above water and care for her daughter. A chance meeting between these two begins the journey. This book has a lot of heat and some heartache. There is an HEA but things are not always what they seem but just remember...karma.

Ava & Wyatt...

Forever For Us is the 8th book in the wilder Brothers series. It is a second chance, enemies to lovers, workplace romance. Ava and Wyatt's story is full of tension, angst and the amazing found family feel. You can feel their chemistry flying off the pages. It's an emotional read from start to finish. You get all the feels and steam in this one. I absolutely love how cute the scenes with Fayth and Wyatt are. I loved how the relationship slowly grew along with the beautiful bond that formed between Ava and Wyatt.

Jason Clarke and Rose Dioro did a great job bringing this story and these characters to life.

Betrayed twice, but found love

Forever For Us is book 8 in the Wilder Brothers series. Keep in mind that books 1 through 6 followed the original Wilder brothers and books 7 and beyond follow their cousins.

Ava is a single mom, whose ex-husband left her high and dry in the divorce after cheating on her with his best friend's wife. She is working two jobs to provide housing and food for her daughter.

Wyatt is a Wilder. He owns the bar on the Wilder Resort grounds. When he found out his wife had been cheating on him with his best friend, he left her and filed for divorce.

Wyatt and Ava are bonded, since their exes were the ones cheating with each other on their former spouses. Unfortunately, neither has kept in tough with the other due to the circumstances. So when Wyatt decides he wants some eggs and goes to the diner in town for them, he is surprised to see Ava is his waitress. What happens after that, well let me just say bad things come in three's.

Wyatt offers Ava a job at his bar as the assistant manager and bartender. She was already considering going back to bartending, but she has never been an assistant manager. But she is good with people and is willing to learn, so she takes the job. Especially since it comes with housing and daycare for her daughter, Faith.

After a previous incident at the bar, there is a rule that no one works after hours alone. So when Wyatt needs to close out the register and do paperwork after closing the bar, Ava stays with him. During this quiet time, they get to know each other better and he starts invading her space.

One night, things go further than they should. Afterwards, they agree that it should never happen again. But, never say never. These two are like firecrackers around each other and it is just a matter of time before they go off.

When a threat, from recent history and both of their pasts, comes after them, will they fight for each other or will they cut and run? When the culprits are revealed, and their reasons, will it impact the budding new relationship? Has Wyatt finally decided what he wants after a promise he made to himself many years ago?

Jason Clarke is a dream as Wyatt, and the other Wilder men. I must admit this is my first Rose Dioro book this year, and I had forgotten how much I enjoy her voice. She has quite a range, playing the Wilder women, Ava, Faith (an 8 year old child) and Ava's mother. These two combined are a force in this audiobook.
