Not Quite Forever by Catherine Bybee
Published: November 2014
Book Blurb: Romance author Dakota Laurens believes that happily-ever-afters exist only between the covers of her sexy novels.

The outspoken author feels an instant and intense attraction to Dr. Walt Eddy, and the feeling is mutual. When the globetrotting doctor pulls a disappearing act on Dakota, she’s prepared to write him off…until fate brings a blindsiding twist to her story.
Still scarred from a past tragedy, Walt may have disappeared on Dakota, but now he’s determined to win her back. For the first time in years, he knows he’s ready for a new chance at love. Yet between Dakota’s doubts and two sets of meddling parents, can the once-blissful couple finally create the bright, loving future they desperately want?

My Review
The novel had me laughing from page one. Great imagery and a laugh out loud situation that could happen to anyone. Not Quite Forever is a story about Dakota Laurens, a popular romance writer. While speaking at a writer’s convention, she unexpectedly meets a man that may or may not be in her life for a while.
I enjoyed Dakota and Walt’s story. Humorous, suspenseful, dramatic, and filled with lots of love. Although Dakota is famous for writing steamy novels, I was happy to find that this novel was not one of those. I’m all for women empowering themselves and reading whatever makes them happy, but I personally don’t generally enjoy erotic romance. I prefer novels exactly the way this one was written, with a bit of detail and an assumption about intimacy, but not filled with full-blown sex scenes. I enjoyed this novel and the author’s writing style. I’m looking forward to reading more of her writing by going back and reading some of her previously released works.
