This was such a sweet story, and I adore Myles and Montana. The first time they met, I couldn’t stop laughing! Myles sense of humor had me swooning as he played along perfectly and had a charm to him. I knew right away this was going to be a fun and entertaining read and I was all in!
 
When Myles arrived in Alaska, he knew he was going to be the enemy. He was taking a place the town loved, and changing it. But, despite his wealth and vision, he had a big heart, and was incredibly  humble. The chemistry, tension and pull between him and Montana was simply mesmerizing and I was falling right along with them.
 
Montana had the patience of a saint, and knew how to handle any situation with grace. And when she needed to, she could hold her own. She cared immensely for those around her and and could not help but hide how she felt. She was the type of person you are naturally drawn to because they of the bright spot she was, and I know why Myles couldn’t resist her.
 
The narration by Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran was on point and captivating! They bring the emotions and tension of this story to life. If you love a good billionaire, small town romance with plenty of spice, banter, small town animals with hilarious names, look no further!

I appreciate the opportunity to have received an early copy and my review is honest and voluntary.

You, Me, and Forever is another great romance from Laura Pavlov. This story takes place in a small town in Alaska, and it was a fun time.

Montana is out ot move on from her ex. It’s been months, so she goes out with her friends to meet someone. There, she meets Myles. Myles and Montana have a fun meet-cute, but things change the next day when she discovers who Myles really is. The man who’s destroying her business. Okay, that may be a little melodramatic, but it feels like he is to her.

Myles bought the Seaside Inn- the Inn that Montana hosts most of her weddings (she’s a wedding planner), and he’s planning on knocking it down and making it a bigger resort. And it’s making her life more challenging than she hoped. At first, Montana wants nothing to do with Myles, but with time, he wears her down.

These two become great friends, and it turns into so much more. I loved the two of them together. Amazing banter, such romance… sigh. Myles is the kind of guy who doesn’t do relationships, and Montana is a relationship girly, so it takes some time to make them work, but by the end, it’s magic. I’m not sure if this will be a series or a stand-alone, but either way, I adored it!

“When you leave, I can’t do halfway with you. So let’s call this….you, me, and right now.”

Montana and her business partner, Violet, are struggling to figure out how to expand their wedding planning business since the owners of a local inn are deciding to sell and retire. She decides to go out for a night to blow off some steam, and ends up having a one night stand with a gentleman that she met. But she doesn’t yet realize exactly WHO it is that she hooked up with.

Myles has decided to invest his money in Blushing, Alaska on a piece of property that is partially undeveloped, and also houses the local Inn…….which happens to be the same Inn that Montana happens to be interested in for her business. As they spend more time together, their relationship begins to grow, yet they both fear the upcoming “end date” of when he heads back to NY, since he’s currently here to just “oversee” some of the renovations. Yet “Mr. Moneybags” hasn’t forgotten that “honey badger” (omg, I love a nickname!!!) also has a personal relationship with the Inn, and surprises Montana with having the crew make thoughtful renovations to save her memories.

Will Myles open up allow himself to love Montana and maybe move back to Alaska to be with her? or will their relationship truly end when he heads back to New York?

A quick and fun bingeable summer read. This new town of Blushing is quite the dream. Set in Alaska with town locals who are animals with hilarious names. What started off as a one night stand quickly turned into this is the real deal.

Small town. ONS. Workplace. Fun text messages.

10 HB and MB Stars!

When Myles landed in Blushing, Alaska, he had no idea how much his life was about to change. He’s there overseeing the demolition of the Inn that Montana, Violet and Blakely use as their wedding venue as part of their wedding planning business. Needless to say, none of them were fans of this interloper who’s come to their hometown and, in their eyes, destroy a building that has so much meaning.

This is what this entire book is about and each and every moment that I was listening to Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran bring to life this marvelous story written by Ms. Pavlov. From their first meeting at the local bar that included so much chemistry it was impossible to ignore, to their face-off when Montana realizes who this man really is and what an impact he’ll have on her life in so many ways.

I was captivated by this book from beginning to end. I laughed, swooned and got a little testy just like Montana as they not only become lovers but best friends. Myles isn’t a man that believes in happily ever after given his family dynamics so he does everything he can to keep is feelings on the surface… here’s a hint, that doesn’t go well for him and especially not for Montana.

What I loved so much about the audiobook is that Ms. Meadows and Mr. Duran really embodied all the characters and I could truly feel the strength of the connection between Myles and Montana. And their moments of laughter had me rolling thanks to very friendly Moose and porcupine. I could actually envision Myles’ face when he encountered them IYKYK!

Seeing Myles change thanks to Montana and her love was a wonderful experience and I’m not yet ready to leave Blushing, Alaska so I’m very confident I’ll be listening and/or reading this book again in the very near future.

Review: Welcome to Blushing Alaska! I was so excited when I heard about Laura's newest release set in Blushing, Alaska. There is just something so magical about Alaska, so I couldn't wait to dive in!

From the beginning, I was drawn to Myles and Montana. Montana is a wedding planner and Myles is the man turning her world upside down. The chemistry between these two was 🔥 and their banter was perfect! You could feel the pull these two had to each other. Myles was so delicious and then the meaning behind the title, I melted! This one is sweet, spicy, seriously fun and will make you blush.🤭 I enjoyed the side characters, especially Clifford Wellhung!🤣 I listened to the audiobook by Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran. Both are new narrators to me, but they did an excellent job bringing these characters to life!🥰 I'm hoping for more from this world. I couldn't help but try to match side characters up!🤭

Another fun time listening to Laura's newest book in her new Blushing series. Montana doesn't realize Myles is the person who is trying to take away one of her favourite places until after they've spent a night together. I loved Montana and Myles' relationship from the beginning. I love how they fall in love and how they work through their problems. As per usual, I love how Laura writes her characters and how she makes them communicate. It's always so refreshing that she writes healthy relationships! I loved the Alaskan setting and all the characters. I laughed out loud a couple of times while listening. All the side characters were great, and we get glimpses at who the next couple will be. I can't wait to see how their story unfolds! Another fun and light-hearted listen!

ou, Me, & Forever had me hooked from the very beginning! Montana and Myles were everything! From a one night stand to enemies to friends to lovers (and all the swoony tension in between), their story was pure perfection. Myles? Literal heart melter.

Montana’s dad was the sweetest, I adored every moment he was on the page. And in true Laura Pavlov fashion, she gave us the ultimate girl gang! Supportive, hilarious, and ride or die… the kind of besties every girl deserves!

And let’s talk audiobook magic: Troy Duran & Cicely Meadows nailed the vibe. Their voices brought these characters to life in the best way!

I had so much fun listening to this audiobook! You, Me and Forever is the first book in a new small town romance series and it had everything you could want and more. It had me laughing out loud, falling for this small town with all the animals and people, swooning (and sweating) over Myles, wanting to be besties with Montana and her gang of girls, and daydreaming about getting to visit gorgeous Alaska.

The setup was a typical hallmark movie- big city billionaire comes into the small town, buys the hotel that means everything to the small town girl, and plans to tear it down. But Laura Pavlov took it to a whole new level by adding her signature humor, romance, and spice. I loved Myles and Montana's easy friendship and hot chemistry. They both intended on their relationship being a "fling" while he was in town and I loved how they grew into so much more. I found myself feeling all the emotions with this one and I couldn't have been happier with the ending.

We are traveling to Blushing Alaska and I think I’m in love. Montana, a small business wedding planner. Myles, a billionaire developer that squashes her dreams, what could go wrong?
A hot, swoony billionaire with a heart of gold who had commitment issues because of his family? Sign me up!
Myles was knocked on his feet in more ways than one when he met Montana.
This book had a touch of everything. The sass, the meet cute🤣🤣, the one night stand (sleeping with the enemy) the nicknames they give each other, snarky banter, the slight tension, family drama, enemies to friends to lovers vibe was so well written. Oh, and not to leave out the wildlife animals, aka a moose and a porcupine who have made Blushing their home. I loved how slowly they evolved into more, even though they had some self inflicted hurdles. But, their growth and foundation of friendship was a beautiful stepping stone for them. Also, the way the second book was set up throughout the story line was perfection and I can’t sit to dive in.
The audiobook was narrated by Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows. I had never listened to this duo together but they did keep me engaged, and their characterizations were spot on. I couldn’t stop listening. Great start to the series!

I love Laura's books and this one was no exception. A totally new setting and a fresh cast of characters really had me eating this one up. I loved getting to know all the new faces and places in this book. Myles and Montana had this steamy hookup, not exchanging real names or careers (her having a fun time with friends, which was hilarious), but they soon find out that Myles is the new tycoon in town. He bought the venue Montana hosts weddings at in Blushing, an inn that has a special place in her heart, and plans to tear it down and build a bigger resort. They clash at their first meeting after their night together, but that tension becomes oh so delicious and inevitable. Even though they maintained their relationship was just while Myles is in town, you could feel how deep their feelings were becoming. Their banter was top tier and I loved all their steamy moments. The audio on this was excellent as well. Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows were the perfect Myles and Montana.

Hello Blushing Alaska! I am so excited for this new series!

It starts off with an excellent enemies to lovers story between a billionaire developer and a wedding planner. Sparks fly and soon Montana and Myles go from bickering to flirting. I definitely enjoyed this small town atmosphere and the characters who live there. Both Montana and Myles have a back story that was interesting and explained so much of themselves. I'm looking forward to more in this series!

Huge shoutout to audio narrators Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran. This was my first listen from Cicely Meadows and she did amazing as Montana. Troy is always a hit and I enjoyed listening to him as Myles.

You, Me, and Forever kicks off a new series for Laura Pavlov in Blushing, Alaska. I had the honor of receiving an ALC of this. It’s done in dual style by Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows. I will admit they weren’t my favorite narrators in playing the opposite sex but it didn’t take me out of the story or anything. When they played their respective male or female characters, I thought they did an excellent job!

Montana owns a wedding planning business in Blushing with her friend, Violet. Myles is a billionaire who just purchased the Seaside Inn they use for many of their weddings. He is planning to tear it down and build a luxury hotel which disrupts their business.

They have a fun meet-cute, neither knowing who the other really is until a day or two later. Then of course Montana instantly dislikes him because he’s taking away not only a huge asset for her business but also many precious childhood memories.

However, they are able to strike up a friendship of sorts while he’s in town overseeing the demolition and planning phases. And of course that friendship becomes more as we saw how hot the chemistry was with them on that first night.

Myles was so swoonworthy! He does so many grand, and small, gestures for Montana. He just has a huge heart once he starts to show it. It was so fun to see this NYC businessman begin to fit into this small town. His relationship with his family was hard but I love how things ended up working out.

There is tons of great banter throughout. The town has many fun, unique quirks. Montana is sassy and I loved all the snarky exchanges with Myles, while they were ‘enemies’ and after. The spice was great too.

I haven’t read any of Laura’s books since the Honey Mountain series but I would say if you’ve like her previous work, you’ll love this one. She definitely writes small town love stories as well as anyone!

This audiobook was everything. The author never ceases to amaze me with her stories. She makes me feel like I am part of her small towns and these performers brought all that to life. I enjoyed these two narrators and felt they did a great job owning the part of Miles and Montana.. I felt all the emotions in their performance.

Swoonfest Baby!!! Laura never fails to deliver the most heartwarming, swoony, and unforgettable small town romances that leaves you feeling all the feels.

What to expect:
💕Small Town Alaska
🫎Billionaire MMC
💕Wedding Planner FMC
🫎One Night Stand Turned More
💕Top Notch Banter

I absolutely loved this one. Everything from Miles and Montana’s first meet, all the way through to that iconic this is why we love romance books, stop the show declaration, and every single laugh out loud, kick your feet, and heated moment in between will have you consumed.

This was such a joy to read, and I cannot wait for more of this series.

Myles travels to Alaska to oversee the renovation of The Seaside Inn, a beloved property that once belonged to Montana’s father. Montana practically grew up at the inn and now regularly hosts weddings there, so she’s far from thrilled about the plans to renovate and expand it. The back and forth between her and Myles is a real highlight, his knack for pushing her buttons and her spirited responses create sparks from the start. Though they drive each other crazy, their chemistry is undeniable and soon leads to a casual relationship. But when real feelings start to surface, they’re forced to confront what that means, especially with Myles living in New York. Narrators Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran are the perfect voices for Montana and Myles, capturing everything from the tension to the tenderness. If you're looking for a sweet, small town romance that delivers all the warm and fuzzy vibes, this is a must listen!

cicely was a new narrator for me & i will definitely be keeping my eye out for more from her. her sassy tone & more vulnerable moments were so engaging in this performance. & troy duran was of course fantastic. i loved his deep gruff voice for myles. his smirk you could hear in the banter had me in a chokehold. if you’re considering the audio - don’t second guess it. it’s so good.

oh myles you stupid idiot i love you. 😂 this book is hate to love done right. the chemistry. the banter. the quirky town meddling. all of it was 10/10. myles & montana were so fun. i was giggling, blushing, swooning & kicking my feet this whole book. this little alaska town has my heart. i was so invested in these two & their one night stand to fling to friendship to love story that i simply couldn’t put it down. i listened to the whole book in one sitting & it had me completely sucked in from start to finish. if you’re new to laura this would be a great place to jump in but if you’ve read her before - this is laura at her best. it’s all the things i love about her books + a moose & a porcupine. highly recommend.

Sweet and spicy billionaire romance

I could not stop listening to this one. This is a wonderful story set in a small town of Blushing, Alaska, famous for a secret celebrity wedding occurring there. Now tourism is up and that brings Myles, a billionaire real estate developer from New York, to town. He purchases the only wedding venue in town leaving Montana, the wedding planner, scrambling to accommodate her clients.

Myles and Montana meet out one night, of course not knowing who the other really is. They share what should’ve been a one-night stand until they meet at the hotel where Montana is planning its last wedding. You quickly learn that this is more than a venue to Montana. She was practically raised there and has memories attached to the hotel.

This took a different direction than I expected, and I loved it. Even with their differences, these two cannot deny their attraction. They become friends and then friends with benefits while Myles is in town. This is not only their relationship with each other, but with their parents, siblings and friends. There’s great character development and the town of Blushing becomes its own character as the backdrop for this story. I look forward to more from this town and characters.

Narrated by Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows. I need more Troy Duran in my ears. His soothing yet growly tone was perfect for Myles, the true romantic at heart but doesn’t realize it. Cicely is new to me and she brought Montana’s sweet side when dealing with her father, her feisty side dealing with Myles and her boss babe attitude when challenged.

You, Me and Forever is the first book in the new Blushing series. It is a small town, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, one-night stand to fling romance. This is Myles and Montana's story. You get witty banter, romantic gestures, swoony moments, steam and all the feels. These two are perfect together, I can't wait to see what we get next in this series.

Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. You could feel the emotions in their voices. I really enjoyed their narration.

Laura Pavlov’s “You, Me, and Forever” delivers a delightful blend of small-town charm and big-city conflict, brought to life beautifully in its audiobook format by narrators Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows. From the moment listeners are introduced to Montana, a wedding planner whose world is upended by a one-night stand, the story hooks you. Meadows perfectly captures Montana's exasperation and vulnerability as she grapples with her ex’s engagement, a six-month dry spell, and the looming threat to her beloved Seaside Inn.

The narrative shines when the "bulldozer-happy developer from New York" turns out to be her recent fling, Myles St. James. Duran’s portrayal of Myles is spot-on – a man who is clearly more than just a real estate mogul. He brings a depth and unexpected warmth to a character who could easily have been a one-dimensional antagonist. The chemistry between the two narrators is palpable, making the enemies-to-lovers trope feel genuinely earned and deliciously complicated.

The stakes are high: the heroine’s dreams are intertwined with saving the Seaside Inn, and Myles holds the power to shatter them. Yet, the undeniable pull between them makes “sleeping with the enemy” feel less wrong and more exquisitely right. Pavlov's writing, combined with Duran and Meadows's engaging performances, makes “You, Me, and Forever” an enjoyable listen that balances humor, heart, and a simmering romance.
