My Thoughts on Forever, Lately:

What a fun book!   I’ve never read anything by Linore Burkard before but this was amazing.  I’m definitely hooked on her Regency romances and going to have to see if she has anymore.

This book is so fun.  You’re in a story but don’t know you’re in a story until you find out the story is being written.  And then you’re in present-day but there are so many things going wrong in present-day that going back to writing the story is great.  Except then you’re in the story and you know you’re in the story and that’s a bit disconcerting.  

Did you follow all that?  If not go get a copy of the book and start reading.  I’ll wait.  Or maybe not because it was so good I’d like to keep talking about it. 

I immediately fell in love with our author Claire.  She’s a bit down on her luck as her last few books haven’t gone over so well.  And then there’s the whole her grandmother is missing and her cabin is threatened by unscrupulous people.  Add in that Claire is living in that said grandmother’s cabin and can’t find the deed proving they own the cabin.  

This story has lots of twists and turns and several different plots and subplots.  Love it! 

You do need to have a few brain cells left to read and understand this story so don’t read it when you’re in the mood for just a feel-good romance.  While it does have romance it also has intrigue and suspense and some mystery to it.  Plus you’ve got story versus the real-life and it can get jumbled if you’re not on top of your reading game. 

Highly recommend this read.  Definitely one I would add to your to be read pile or your GoodReads wish list.  The cover is gorgeous as well!

More from Linore

I wanted to write a Regency time travel for years. When I saw the movie “Kate and Leopold” I thought, Oh no! Someone used my idea! But I needn’t have worried. Leopold (Hugh Jackman) was a Victorian gentleman, not a Regencian. Secondly, though I enjoyed the flick, I kept thinking it missed many opportunities for humor. (Having written a screenplay since then, I now realize why it missed so many: tight scripts just don’t have room for all the scenes that could be fun.) When I wrote my story, however, I was able to include a lot of the humor scenes that had been floating around in my head for eons. It’s one of the reasons the book is a lot of fun to read—particularly when the Regency hero appears in the present.

On a side note, I started this book and then dropped it—for years—mostly because I wanted to write it as Christian romance like my other Regencies. But I kept running into roadblocks. And Christian publishers weren’t interested. Finally, I realized I had to let God out of MY box and write the story he was giving me, not the one I thought he should give me. After that, it came together remarkably easily and quickly. And, I think, in a very fun way. I might even do a sequel.
