My Now and Forever by HJ Bellus Review

Blurb: Whose parents abandon them in a trashy trailer when they are five years old? Oh Yeah! Mine do!

Hey Hoochies! I’m Milly, and I am tired of taking kicks to the gut. A broken family, an asshole husband and the loss of loved ones have left me crying Uncle, and declaring a serious case of the Fuck-Its!

I had my heart broken, stomped on and shattered before I ever started on my journey to find my little piece of happiness. With a bucket list, a ’66 Ford and wild dreams, I set out on an adventure that changed my life forever. Follow me on my journey that resurrected my inner badass.

I found my soul sista from another mista, and opened my dream shop along the way. Just when I gave up on finding true love, a pirate and a princess swept me off my ever lovin’ feet and filled my world with sprinkles, mac n’ cheese and the courage to live again. They forced my fragile heart to trust and love without fear.

Truth is, nobody’s past stays hidden forever. It’s an invisible monster waiting to attack and destroy. It has the capability to ruin everything you’ve worked to set right. All it takes is one final blow to the gut to end everything.

Jessica’s Review:

I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

 Milly Cree Annie

Are you a little bit country? Because if you are then you will definitely enjoy this book. There is plenty of sex in pick up trucks and tractors alike with country music setting the scene as you go. From the first page of this book your heart breaks for poor Milly. She had a tough start at life and then married an asshole. As you follow Milly on her journey of self healing there’s a ton of fun and lots of friends who become family. Then she meets Cree, a hot as hell farm boy with a heart of gold. They both have tons of baggage from their past, and have some major demons they must face. Will they face them together or let the shadows of their past tear them apart?

All in all it was a sweet story. It brings you into the heart of a small town and its people who have huge hearts. My favorite part of this book was Annie, a little girl that captures Milly’s heart forever and will most likely capture yours too.

The only constructive criticism I could offer is that the pacing of the story is a tad slow in the middle and if you don’t stick with it you may miss a lot of the excitement that gets piled on toward the end. So if you read this book then make sure you commit. The HEA is so sweet and definitely earned after everything Milly has been through.
