Forever Mine is the 4th book in the Alex
Jackson series and can be read as a standalone book.
It's never a good idea to
fall for your best friend's brother... or so they say.
Hannah Greene is fed up. A romantic at
heart, she's had a major crush on her best friend's brother for years but he's
never noticed her. To shape a life for herself away from Zac, she must move on.
Zac Warne, smooth-talking sales guy
who takes responsibility to a whole new level, loves the thrill of the chase
but is not interested in settling down, ever. It's not that he doesn't believe
in love, it's just not for him.
But circumstances have Hannah and Zac
spending one weekend together and a night of fun leads to more than just
emotional consequences for them.
Compelled to right wrongs and beholden
to fix problems, Zac has to convince Hannah his about-turn about wanting a
relationship with her is not just one of convenience. Can Hannah now trust this
smooth-talking playboy who has a reputation for breaking hearts, including her
own?

Thanks so much Ashley x
DeleteThe recipe sounds wondrous, as does the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sandra :) If you like salads, you'll love the one I shared. It's yum and looks impressive (on a platter) when you have guests over :)
DeleteMmm, might have to see if I can modify this recipe slightly. Never much cared for quinoa but everything else looks good. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have to confess that I wasn't initially a fan of quinoa but now that I'm using it more I've found I love it. However, if you're not partial to quinoa, you can use cous cous or not use a grain and have it with salad ingredients only :)
DeleteQuinoa is the "in" food at the moment, isn't it? :-) I have never tried it. Must make time and space for it soon. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Thanks ACIL. Yes, I agree, quinoa is one of those trendy foods at the moment. However, it's very versatile and I really like it. The key is washing it before you cook with it. Also use some stock in the water when cooking and it will be tasty :)
DeleteNothing better than a man who can cook, actually there is – a man who can cook and do DIY! :)
ReplyDeleteI’ve never tried Quinoa but this recipe might just temp me it looks delicious.
I agree Barbara :) I love a man who can cook....and cleans up after :)
DeleteQuinoa is a fab ingredient for your salads as it's a protein not a grain. The key to using it is to wash it before you cook and add some stock to the water when cooking. Happy cooking! :)
Great reading yourr post
