Laura Pavlov's small-town romance stories always leave me with a smile on my face. This one was no different. I enjoyed being in the fictional town of Blushing, Alaska, with Montana, a wedding planner, and Myles, a billionaire real estate developer. After a one-night stand, things get tense when Montana finds out Myles is the new owner of a popular wedding venue she uses for her clients. The property means a lot to her, so naturally, she is not happy to hear about Myles' plans to tear it down. What happens next? We get a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance complete with scene-stealing animals, nosy neighbors, and fun side characters. Montana and Myles have amazing chemistry, and their banter is hilarious. I loved the development of their relationship. Their delicious, slow-burn romance is super swoony, and I enjoyed watching Myles, the broody billionaire, completely fall for Montana. I loved their nicknames, and Myles' grand gesture had me kicking my feet. Their steamy journey to love has lots of laughs, heartfelt moments, and a feel-good, well-deserved happy ending. You, Me, and Forever is a fun start to this new series, and I can't wait to see what happens next in Blushing, Alaska.

Narration:
Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran did such a great job with this dual-style narrated audiobook. They were the perfect voices for Montana and Myles, and really brought all of the characters to life. Cicely and Troy brought the humor, swoon, and I loved how they made the emotional moments feel real.

Here I am again with another new release from Laura Pavlov that’s completely blown me away and that has had me in a chokehold from start to finish. It’s no secret that she’s in my top five authors and You, Me, and Forever is the prime example of why that is. It was pure gold. It ticked every single box when it came to what I look for in a romance book and exceeded all expectations. I finished it days ago and I still can’t stop thinking about this story and the amazing story!

In You, Me, and Forever, we have Montana and Myles. These two had me swooning. They had me smitten. I was completely obsessed with both of them as a couple and as individuals. I couldn’t help but root for them from the very beginning.

Let’s start with Montana, I absolutely adored her.
Loved.
Loved.
Loved.
Montana owns a wedding planning business called Blushing Brides with her bestie Violet.
She seemed so confident in herself. She wasn’t someone who sat back and let people walk all over her. She wasn’t afraid of confrontation and she was not too proud to admit when she was wrong. She had no problem owning her own mistakes and I absolutely loved that about her. She was her true self and she was humble.
Montana and her ex-boyfriend have been over a few months now and she is now ready to move forward with her love life put herself back out there and move on from her ex. So when she and her friends go out to meet someone. She crosses paths with Myles.

Myles is a billionaire who has recently purchased the Seaside Inn, which is where Montana hosts most of the weddings she organises and has become attached to the place and it’s become quite sentimental to her, plus it’s also the more popular venue that means money for her wedding planning business.

Montana and Myles first met after a night out at a bar and formed an instant connection and one steamy hot night together. However, that turns sour when she finds out who Myles really is and that he has plans to knock down the place and build a much bigger resort which doesn’t seem to be something they can both agree on. This seems to be a deal breaker for Montana and she wants nothing to do with him however, Myles is relentless when it’s something or someone he wants. He always gets what he wants.



I loved these two so much. Through everything going on. It’s clear to see that these two have an intense connection. The banter between the two of them is pure gold. Myles knows how to make a woman weak at the knees and he did just that to Montana …. He’ll, he did that to me. I was swooning.


With the connection that these two have, Myles isn’t a relationship kind of guy…. Will Montana be the woman who changes all that? If she happily ever after?


This book had everything I could have asked for and more. I am hoping that the author makes this into a series. I loved it and I already want to revisit it.

If you want a small-town, swoon-worthy read for the summer? I highly recommend picking this beauty up. You won’t be disappointed!

Another hit from the Small Town Romance Queen, Laura Pavlov! Myles & Montana were so much fun. There was a ton of flirty banter, enemies to lovers sass, and fun fling energy!!

As always, Laura was able to incorporate all the depth & feels, while still keeping it light. Myles & Montana fought so hard to ignore their feelings becoming anything but temporary, but the pull was too strong, and they were exactly what the other needed!

Audiobook Review
Dual Narration by Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran

You, Me, and Forever was such an enjoyable listen! Laura Pavlov has created another charming small-town that has captured my heart. Blushing is a place I would love to visit. Myles and Montana were a fun couple, I adored their meet-cute and how their friendship/relationship evolved. Rivals yet friendly and couldn't keep their distance. Loved how they communicated and worked through the issues that arose. Montana's friend group made me smile, and I found myself laughing at their shenanigans several times. A perfect start to a new series, and I'm excited for what's to come from Blushing.

Narrated in dual by Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran. My first listen with Cicely and she was such a joy ot listen to. Cicely and Troy both gave wonderful performances, and I felt as if I were there in the story with the characters.

This was a sweet & swoony rivals to lovers romance.
I am such a sucker for books that take place in Alaska, and this one was so fun.
Montana is such a sweet & smart woman, she feels emotions strongly, and isn’t afraid to work for what she wants.
I absolutely love the dynamic between Montana & Miles, they are both going against their norm, but they have fantastic chemistry, and both have to adapt and fight for their own happiness.
I can’t wait for the next book, it’s going to be full of sass for sure.

No one fills my heart up quite like Laura Pavlov- and I am always so giddy when I get to jump into a new Laura world. Blushing is my new favorite destination- and this swoony, charming, banterific love story was delicious and oh so dreamy. This chemistry-packed, character rich, heartwarming love story more than filled my cup. SWOON, someone sweep me away to Blushing Alaska, because I’m already obsessed with this whole world. Montana and Myles love story is yet another endearing and heartfelt escape from the endlessly talented Laura Pavlov.

The audio by Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran was so bingeable. I’d never listened to Cicely before and she charms as Montana. And Troy is always delicious. Laura’s audios are always so consumable and wonderfully performed- and I can’t wait for more Blushing world fun!

What to expect:
💕Small Town Alaska
💕Billionaire x Wedding Planner
💕Enemies to Lovers
💕One Night Stand/No Strings Fling
💕Banter for days
💕Nicknames
💕Lovable side characters

Audiobook Review

5 Blushing stars!!!
I love a good enemies to lovers full of spice and banter and this audiobook delivered it in spades. Myles and Montana, the wildlife, Montana’s friends, Myles family and his assistant they were all an integral part of this brilliant story narrated by the amazing Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows. Their voices really added to my enjoyment of Montana and Myles’ path to HEA.

Brb, I’m moving to a fictional small town in Alaska! Jk, I could not cope with that much sunlight, lol.

You, Me and Forever is such a cutesy addition to the Pavlov-verse and is a new favouriote Laura book for sure. It is packed with that signature Pavlov passion, heart and heat that I love, the chemisty between Montana and Myles was so hot, but the banter had me smiling so hard my face was hurting.

Their meet cute was actually ridiculously hilarious and the way their relationship devleoped from witty enemies to friends to lovers was the perfect pace for me. I loved both the emotional depth to Montana and Myles, and how connected to her small town Montana felt too.

The audio was 10/10, Troy Duran narrates such a good cocky billionaire and Cicely Meadows was amazingly fiesty for Montana. I truly loved the side characters and cannot be any more excited for book 2 because laura writes my favourite trope, IYKYK 😏

4⭐️ my first Laura Pavlov book & I get the hype yall. The writing was easy & flowed so well. The setting was picturesque, & the characters were real. I think I’ll be reading many more from her in the future!

Montana is a small town wedding planner in Alaska & Myles recently bought the historical inn to demo & renovate. They’re immediately enemies but had a spicy night together so the tension is steamy. I love their banter & how they were friends first (excluding their ONS). They had moments of bonding, lots of chemistry, & funny small town moments with silly animals.

THE GRAND GESTURE🫠🫠

🎧the audiobook, narrated by my fav cicely meadows and Troy Duran was good. This was my first cicely book, & I always love finding a new narrator to enjoy! 4/5🎙️

Myles St. James is tearing my world apart.

Wish I’d known that before I slept with him.

It was supposed to be a one-night stand.

My 5⭐️ review: Love this new series from Laura. The tropes are some of my favorite - enemies to lovers, small town, billionaire, and found family.

Laura’s humor shines through with amazing dialogues, banter and push/pull between these two.

Myles is a determined, broody businessman who doesn’t let emotions get in his way….until Montana.

Montana is amazing, fiesty, strong, determined and a great business woman. She knows what she wants and will stop at nothing or let anyone get in her way.

Montana and Miles relationship blossoms and evolves so beautifully. They have amazing banter, chemistry and become fiercely protective of one another.

Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows deliver a beautiful performance. They give each of the characters perfect, voice, personality and emotion. I love how narrators take authors words and create a whole new experience to enjoy the story.

You, Me and Forever is Book 1 in the Blushing Series. It's an enemies to lovers story set in the small town of Blushing, Alaska. Montana owns a wedding planning business with her best friend. She's about to lose her favorite venue to a developer from New York. The Seaside Inn is her second home and ever since a famous singer got married there, people want to get married at that venue. What she didn't expect was the guy she had a fling with turns out to be the real estate guy named Miles.

I loved the small town of Blushing. It's definitely a place I would visit. I loved Montana and Miles together. They were adorable! Montana was very sentimental and a go getter. Miles was a fun guy. He could read people so easily. He was a very interesting character. I thought Miles and Montana had great chemistry. Their first encounter was hilarious. As the story progressed I enjoyed seeing their relationship progress naturally.

As for the audiobook it's fantastic! Performed in dual by Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran. They were amazing! Cicely is a new to me narrator. I loved her voice! She brought so much warmth and energy to Montana. Troy conveyed Miles with a deep, gravelly tone. He captured Troy's charm and personable attitude. Their character transitions were seamless and it was easy to follow along.

• THOUGHTS:
This was so cute. I really loved that this was based in Alaska. The author captured the scenery perfectly. I loved the profession each od the MC's had. Not only that, how Montana and Miles met had me cackling! One night stand turns to oh shiizz the next day. it was very entertaining for me. This is a happy feel good book that makes you happy you read it. its such a good book to switch up, especially if you are coming off a really heavy book. I definitely recommend and cannot wait for book 2.

NARRATOR THOUGHTS:
•Narrators: Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran
•Dual Narration
•Listening at a 1.5 speed.
Cicely is a new to me narrator.i enjoyed her voice. Her male voice did take a second to get used to. Once I did I didn't mind it at all. I felt she captured Montana very well. Troy Duran did a good job. he definitely has that billionaire vibe down with a male character that is sarcastic, playboy vibes with a huge heart. both narrators did a good job. I would recommend the audio hands down. enjoy friends.

I was an ARC reader for this book. Thank you to author Laura Pavlov and NetGalley for the opportunity.

I love a good enemies to lovers small town romance and this book did not disappoint!

I fell in love with Myles and Montana. The banter they have is unhinged, especially with the nicknames they give each other. The fling they have is a little more than what they bargained for and it pulled on my heartstrings to the very end. From supportive moments, to hard truths, to digging deep and finding what truly matters, this will hold you in your seat until the very end.

This was my second book by Laura Pavlov and I can't wait to read more!

You, Me, and Forever is a sweet, small-town romance set in Alaska. I just love the way Laura Pavlov writes small town romance, and she is an auto-buy author for me.

Montana owns a wedding planning business with her friend, and she is in need of some fun after her ex gets engaged only 6 months after they split. She has a one-night stand with a sexy stranger and is shocked to learn the stranger is actually the billionaire who just bought the seaside inn, Myles St. James. She immediately hates him because he is planning on tearing down the inn she loves to build a bigger hotel. Luckily, they get over this quickly and become friends. Things lead to more, but they know they can only have a fling since Myles will be leaving in a few months back to New York.

I loved the banter and chemistry between Myles and Montana. There were some really sweet moments, and Myles was super swoony.

🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧
The audiobook was narrated by Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows. They did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. I listened to this audiobook in one sitting. Laura Pavlov always has the best audiobooks!

Thank you to Valentine PR and NetGalley for providing the ALC.

What a start to a new series. This is book 1 in the Blushing series, and it will leave you begging for more. Myles comes to this quaint Alaska town to buy a hotel, a hotel that Montana has a lot of her weddings at. Let’s just say Montana has a little dislike for Myles. But one night changes that all, or starts to change it all. I loved the chemistry from the beginning, literally chapter three. Typically third act break ups don’t bother me much, but this one did. Don’t worry of course there is a HEA. I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook. Narrated by Troy Duran and Cicely Meadiws. This was a perfect pick for these characters. Troy nailed Myles growly grumpiness. And Cicely, I could listen to her all day. Can’t wait to continue this series.

Narrated By Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows

Someone take me to Alaska!
I always enjoy a one night stand romance, add in the love/hate sexual chemistry and I’m all in. I went into You, Me & Forever completely blind, knowing that it was a Laura Pavlov book and I always love her writing, I was once again not disappointed. Narrated in dual by Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows they both did a great job bringing Myles and Montana to life. Expressing more than the chemistry these two clearly had but all the little details that went into making it a sweet story. Girls nights, one night stands, love/hate banter, can’t keep our hands off each other, sh*tty ex’s, cool Alaskan animals, epic friends & family, long distance trips, sassy boss babe, determined billionaire, nicknames that make you laugh, heartfelt conversations, secrets and genuine kindness, my heart was absolutely swooning over this story. You also know it’s good when you have re-listened over and over again.

Listen to Myles & Montana’s story today!

Thank You Valentine for the opportunity to listen and review.

What a PERFECT Alaska romance!!! I live IN Alaska, so I was incredibly excited to read this book and Laura delivered with a story that felt so homey to me! She brought Alaska to LIFE in this small town of Blushing, from the description of the landscape with the mountains, to all the animals including moose and porcupine and of course the midnight sun that is out late in summer! This small town romance is SO cute, fun, heartwarming, and swoony but also truly captures the feeling of living in a small town in Alaska!!!

Small Town IN ALASKA
One Night Stand
Billionaire
Wedding Planner
Enemies to Friends to Lovers

From their very first meeting in a bar, I already loved Myles and Montana! There are fake names and jobs with ALL the back and forth banter, which made this story so entertaining from start! Then is turns into a sexy one night stand but when Montana finds out that the billionaire, Myles is the one in town that plans to tear down the inn to build a hotel, he becomes the enemy. Montana has grown up in this town and has a wedding planning business with a lot of her weddings at that inn. However, these two have a pull towards each other and can’t stay away…

This is a new favorite story from Laura for me!!! This book had everything from a billionaire in a small town which is my favorite combination, to the setting is in ALASKA (need I say more), a story that is packed with chemistry between Myles and Montana, all the amazing texting conversations, top notch banter and a romance that developed so naturally but was also so swoony and fun!!! I’ve already read this book twice and it has been easily added to my list of comfort reads!!!!

AUDIO REVIEW:
This audiobook brought this small town Alaska romance to life!! It’s a dual narration by Cicely Meadows & Troy Duran and each of their voices fit their characters so well!! Cicely has a light, upbeat tone to her voice that showcased Montana’s independence and sassiness while Troy’s deep tone was exactly what you’d imagine for this sexy billionaire. Overall, these two completely capture the palpable chemistry between Montana & Myles in this audio while bringing out their fun friendship and heartwarming romance!!

I will forever be a Laura Pavlov fan! There is just something about the way she writes small-town romances that I fall in love with. You, Me, and Forever is book one in a new, small-town romance series set in Alaska. This book features a wedding planner heroine who meets a man at a bar and has a one-night stand before learning that the man she hooked up with is the new billionaire owner of the Inn with plans to tear it down.
Montana and Myles were such fun characters, and I loved the small-town Alaska setting. Myles and Montana’s relationship is fast-paced, and they quickly become friends with benefits while he is in town. Myles has some family baggage that leads him to not believe in relationships or love. Between that and him leaving to go home to NYC after he gets things settled with the Inn, the two know that their relationship has an end date.
The audiobook was so well done, as always! Laura picks the best narrators for her characters. I’m so excited for the next book after the teaser at the end of this one!

Thank you, Laura, for the ALC!
