Forever Yours

Sophie Treneham lives in the country with her young daughter caring for an estate that is slowly crumbling. Sophie would rather be there though than in London's society ballrooms where she would be ridiculed and judged for her scandalous past. Stephan, Sophie's brother, desperately wants to see Sophie cared for so he coerces Jagger Remington to marry her but Jagger doesn't want a wife and Sophie does not want a husband. As their feelings for each other slowly begin to change secrets from their past threaten to destroy their newfound love, and danger and deceit surround them. Forever Yours is a lovely romantic story. Sophie is proud and very strong. Jagger is compassionate and kind. Sophie pushes Jagger away continually which is understandable and even expected but it's a relief when they finally come together. Forever Yours is a touching love story laced with excitement suspense and drama. Nannette Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

UNBELIEVABLE, AMAZING, AWESOME, FABULOUS, CANT SAY ENOUGH!!!

Every once in a while you are stunned by the debut of a new writer and their work. In this case I say stunned because it is rare for a "first" book to be so moving, touching and so extraordinarily well written. For those of you tried and true historical romance fans that recall the earlier works of Julie Garwood's medievals and regencys and Kathleen Woodiwiss remarkable books such as Shanna, The Wolf and the Dove and The Flame and the Flower... this is going to be right up your alley. In Forever Yours, you encounter both hero and heroine truly fighting with the remnants of a tragic and tortured past. For Sophie, her "offence" is believing that she was eloping with a man who loved her, though she was just the instrument of a gambling bet as the "groom" pretends to marry her, uses her and leaves her. From the "union" she bears twins and she has to suffer further tragedy when her son dies of a fever. Jagger, equally tortured by his past and his lack of knowledge as to why his pederast father, brutally beat him and his mother from an early age, returns to England after being in self elected exile in India. When his mentor and friend Stephen, whom he has always looked upon as a father figure, arrives in India to ask him to marry his sister, Jagger can't refuse, as he owes Stephen a debt of honor. The night that he and his mother were nearly beaten to death, he took his injured mother to Stephen, who took care of her until she died. The story has every facet that makes a romance a fabulous read - be prepared to suck this one down overnight and be up till the wee hours of the morning... The story is loaded with mystery, murder, sinister plots and truly evil characters that revolve around the two main protagonists. Both Sophie and Jagger feel that they have been manipulated by Stephen. But after dealing with the resentment and hurt of Stephen's actions, they accept their sealed fates, create a fragile bond and begin to see behind the reasons why Stephen brought them together. Jagger falls in love with Sophie instantly. Her wounded and stoic demeanor, her fortitude and strength even after the tragic events in her young life makes Jagger immediately assume the role of the Knight in Shinning armor that Sophie never known existed. After the way society has shunned her and what she suffered at the hands of a "man", makes her scorn and mistrust the male species and is quite resolute in thinking that no man is trustworthy. I fell in love with Jagger - his kindness and tenderness toward Sophie's small daughter, who has been rendered mute after the death of her twin brother. The painstakingly patient, kind and loving, manner in which he draws Sophie into believing that he is an honorable and trustworthy, loving man is truly beautiful, as is the love that they eventually share. Each rollercoaster twist and turn in spellbinding first novel will leave you breathless and early awaiting Ms. Annello's next installment. Truly, I can't say e

Can't wait for the next book from this author! Intelligent AND hot!

Not just a hot romance, but a historically rich and wonderfully fulfilling read. Sincerely didn't want it to come to an end. This is no fluff romance novel - quality writing and lots of fun too. More, please....!

"Forever Yours" numero uno

WOW! A "can'tputitdownpageturner" debut that truly epitomizes historical romances. I absolutely fell in love with Jagger...a leading man to be reckoned with who is honorable, full of integrity,fighting his own demons, and willing to go the distance to make his leading lady Sophie get past her insecurities and questionable past long enough to fall in love with him. Despite pairing up initially to honor a vow, and despite treachery from many sides, these two find a way to overcome adversity to make their true feelings known to one another. Absolutely captivating and heartwarming...my only complaint, it ended toooo soon! I cannot wait for Janmarie Anello's next historical romance to hit the shelves. Linda
