You, Me, and Forever is a sweet small town romance that will sweep you away and make you smile! Laura brings us to an Alaskan town for so much banter between Myles and Montana.
Myles and Montana spend a night together,
and that attraction doesn't die down even after learning what Myles is in town for.
Myles is a billionaire, and he finds himself in the company of a woman that he wants more time with.
Montana is a wedding planner and loves what she does even if she hasn't found her HEA herself.
Can I just say how much I love the nicknames in this one!!!
When listening to this audio, I felt there were moments when both the narrators were a little monotone when they should have had more emotion in their voice. Even with that said, I loved this story, and the audio was still a good listen. Troy Duran is one of my favorites, and he has the perfect gruff tone for a billionaire. Cicely Meadows is new to me, and I liked her sweet but sassy tone for Montana.
If you love small town, billionaire with all the banter and moments that will make you swoon. This book is for you!!
I am excited for more of this series...

Montana and Myles… love them.. Laura Pavlov goes to Alaska… and I loved it!! Montana runs a wedding business in her hometown and Myles buys the main venue she issues and is making it bigger. Love their random meet and then hoe they connect. I loved their friendship developing and then admitting their feelings.
Laura Pavlov writes great friends and family who really are there for everyone!!! Another great read!

From enemies to lovers that had me blushing like the name of the town. “You, Me, and Forever” is a swoony, emotional and romantic small town, enemies to lovers that was a fantastic start to this new series.
Montana is a wedding planner and business owner in the small town of Blushing, Alaska. And her small town, her favorite place to have weddings, has been bought by a billionaire real estate developer, Miles St. James. Miles saw the opportunity and potential in expanding the small inn and wants the place to be a success. But he wasn’t expecting to find resistance from one of the local residents who he met prior at a bar… under a different name. But the changes are happening and Miles can’t stop thinking about Montana since their night together. He’s only there for a short time to get the construction going but no matter how they try, they can’t stay away from each other.
I loved how these two met and the instant chemistry that they had from the beginning. Going out with your friends for a fun night with some fake names and careers sounds like so much fun. And the enemy part of the story had me hooked and I loved that part of the story. Montana is genuine, caring and passionate about her small town. Her business is thriving and fits in with the town so well. Miles is smart, driven and has a good heart under that tough exterior he has from the hard childhood he had. His drive to go out on his own despite the expectations of what his father wanted from him. He was a big city guy learning how to adapt to the small town ways. I loved the moose and porcupine making their appearances throughout the story. Miles and Montana had fantastic banter and they had me smiling more than once in those early enemy days. But the emotional connection they had was so sweet and made my heart so happy. I loved the ending and I can’t wait for more from this series.
Cicely Meadows and Tony Duran narrated this audio and I loved listening to them bring this story to life. Cicely is a new to me narrator and I thought she did a great job bringing the sweet and caring Montana to life. Tony was great as the driven and sweet Miles, he brought his personality alive perfectly.

Just like with every other Laura Pavlov book, this one will leave you grinning with that heartwarming feeling.
What I loved about it:
1. The Alaska setting
2. Small-town feels
3. Myles' character development
4. Myles and Montana's chemistry and banter
5. Side characters who I'm hoping become main characters
I absolutely love it when a confident billionaire finds himself falling unexpectedly, and I loved every moment where Myles discovered this was happening. Even though he tried fighting it and telling himself "it is just a fling", every single thing he did for Montana proved otherwise. This man was swoony, confident, but had his own broken pieces to fix. I loved the layers to this man!
Once again L Pavlov has created a world in which it is oh so easy to escape to and I can't wait for more from this small town Alaska! Well done!

It is no secret that I love everything Laura writes and this new series is no surprise to be so freaking amazing! Montana & Myles stole my heart! This is the first book in the Blushing series and takes place in a small town in Alaska. Montana is the owner of Blushing Bride, a wedding planner business. One night she meets Myles and they have a night together. She is surprised when she finds out he is actually the enemy. The town’s favorite wedding venue spot was bought by a developer, aka Myles.
The chemistry between Montana and Myles is electric. Enemies to lovers, banter that had me grinning, and nicknames that made me melt. Laura absolutely delivered. But what really got me was the way they built each other up. Myles helped Montana find her voice again and helped with her business. She brought him the joy that was missing in his life and allowed him to have fun and give forever a chance.
🎧 The narration was beautifully done by Cicely Meadows & Troy Duran. This was my first time hearing Cicely and I am currently obsessed with her. Her voice was so sweet and really nice to listen to. They did a good job portraying all the emotions and brought the characters to life.
𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬: Myles St James & Montana Kingsley
𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Blushing, Alaska

Laura Pavlov is one of my favorite authors and she never disappoints. You, Me, and Forever covers all the sweet spots—it's funny, sexy, romantic, and swoony...and all in a beautiful location! Miles and Montana make me want to go to Alaska and see a gorgeous wedding with the adorable animals (I won't give spoilers here, but I loved them!) nearby. I need more time in this world! All the stars!

This is the first book in the Blushing series, a charming small-town contemporary romance. Myles and Montana’s story is a one-night-stand, enemies-to-lovers romance. Myles, a real estate billionaire, is handsome and supportive, while Montana, a small-town wedding planner, is sweet and smart. The story is sweet and heartwarming, with everything you could want: playful banter, humor, and a slow-burn romance. It was a joy to watch them fall in love. The friendships and small-town community added depth to the story. Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran brought it all to life with warmth and emotion. I loved it and can't wait to read more in the series!

I completely devoured this delightful, enemies-to-lovers romance. This first book in Pavlov's new 'Blushing' series had me smiling from ear to ear, enjoying every moment of this heartfelt, and sizzling romance. Montana Kingsley has been working hard with her best friend, Violet, to make their wedding planning company called Blushing Bride a success. Violet talks her into going out and finding a one night stand to forget about her cheating ex. boyfriend. Montana decides to try it, and meets a handsome stranger at their small town bar. Broody billionaire, Myles St. James, is looking for a quiet meal after purchasing a local Inn, when a sweet and feisty woman catches his attention. Their meet cute is hilarious, and their attraction is electric. They spend a night of clandestine passion together, with Montana slipping out the next morning. They both had a connection they couldn't forget, until they meet again and Myles turns out to be the enemy that is destroying Montana's beloved wedding venue, The Seaside Inn. Myles is all about business, but he discovers he loves to goad the feisty woman he still desires. Montana can't understand why this bossy man keeps popping up in her life and her dreams. Myles slowly wins her over, becoming friends, and they decide to have a fling until Myles leaves town. It all sounds easy, until their hearts become involved. Can a big city man make it work long distance with a small town girl? I loved Myles and Montana so much. Myles is so attentive and deliciously dirty, and Montana is sweet, independent and loyal, making them magic together. I loved how their relationship developed, how they grew to trust each other, and their scrappy banter made their chemistry explode!
This is my first listen to narrators Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran and I thought they were fantastic. Their performance was filled with heartfelt emotion that made me feel all the fun, angst, and steam, and had me completely invested in these characters and their story.
This is such a great start to a new series, so get ready to laugh, swoon, and fall in love in Blushing Alaska!

I was so excited to jump into another world that Ms. Pavlov has created. This time she takes us to a small town in Alaska. Billionaire Myles has purchased property that Montana has grown up on and there is no way she will like this guy. Until she sees everything under the facade he shows everyone else.
Ms. Pavlov once again pulls us into a small town where everyone knows each other and you feel like part of the family. I loved how feisty Montana was and how well Myles complimented her. I loved the ending and how Myles finally saw what was right before him all along. These two had me swooning and loving every minute I spent with them. I can't wait to go back to this small town and see who falls next!
I listened to the audio and loved the narration. They did a wonderful job bringing the characters to life and the story to life. Loved it!

5 Star Review You, Me and Forever by Laura Pavlov
eBook/Audio:
I am intrigued with stories set in Alaska and could not wait to dive into You, Me and Forever which is the first book in the latest series from Laura Pavlov.
Set in Blushing, Alaska this is enemies to lovers, Myles St. James and Montana’s story.
All it takes is one night to change the course of a persons life.
Add in a moose that strolls through Blushing and it made for an entertaining, well written story. The characters were quirky and as one finds in a typical small town, they were all up in everyone’s business.
From the moment they met, the sparks flew and it was fun to watch the push and pull dynamic as their relationship developed from fake to real. The banter was witty and the attraction between them was palpable.
I loved watching their relationship develop and cannot wait to read more.
The narration by Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran was spot on in my opinion. They did a wonderful job with their narration. Bringing both the characters and story to life for me. Not only are their voices easy to listen to but they brought the emotional pain, drama, passion, humour and romance to their performances.

Laura Pavlov takes us to Alaska in her new book,which is number One in her new series,taking place in the small town of Blushing.
I Loved listening to this story it is sooooo good,romantic and steamy and classic Laura Pavlov.
Montana is a wedding planner and runs her own buisness with her two best friends Violet and Blakely..Buisness is booming they are booked solid,but there is a threat to the company...Because the place they have the majority of their weddings The Seaside Inn has just been sold to a large company.
They plan on destroying it and re-building..Montana needs to now think of somewhere to relocate all of the weddings that were meant to take place there...Montana is NOT happy.
Myles it is his company that has bought The Seaside Inn so he will be staying around for a few weeks....To see the project get off the ground and see the renovation begin.
Montana has recently split from her boyfriend they had been dating for a few years and then he left and met someone else.
Montana hasn't been interested in meetig anyone else she has been busy,but her friends insist she has a night out to let loose and have a quick fling with a tourist.
Reluctantly she does go out and meets Myles at the bar they have no idea who one another is.
I thought it was hilarious that Montana and her friends use fake names and fake careers to introduce themselves to Myles.
Montana telling Myles her name is Dominique and that she is a diamond dealer..
Anyhow they have a spicy night together and Montana leaves before morning thinking she will never see Myles again.
The next day they discover who eachother actually is,to her horror she has slept with the enemy and now its WAR.!
Montana now hate Myles for what he is doing but the hatred doesn't last too long and they call a truce...Which has them becoming really good friends...Until Montana plays the part of Myles's fake girlfriend for a family party.
This is where they cross the line of friendship and agree to a temporary fling,that is more of a relationship.
But the clock is ticking until Myles goes back to New York..It is actually quite heartbreaking especially when they do Love eachother and parting ways is more devestating than they imagined.
Myles is so swoony honestly some of the subtle gestures he does for Montana is so romantic and made me sigh with longing.
But Myles has issues with relationships because of his parents marriage,and he is afraid of love...Montana is the opposite even though she has been burned before she believes in love and marriage and that is what she wants for herself.Together they are magical..I loved them and their HEA was worth all of the heartache.
Narration is Perfection with the incredible talents of Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows telling this story.
Their performances of Myles and Montana plus the other characters in the book is wonderful and I loved listening to them both...They both made listening to the story such a pleasure.
I Love Laura Pavlov her stories are always funny,quirky,sweet,romantic and steamy.I adore her books and every book she publishes is my new favourite.
I can't wait to listen to more of the stories that come out of the town of blushing.
Violet and Charlie are going to be explosive.!!
You,Me ,and Forever is stunning romance and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
5 Stars.

A Delightful New Series! Fantastic Story & Listen🎧
Laura Pavlov pens another delightful novel, a fantastic enemies-to-lover small-town romance set in Blushing Alaska, and it is a story that captivates your attention and tugs at your heartstrings the entire time. This is the first book of the series and I am already in love with Blushing Alaska, the small-town charm, the moose & porcupine and the people, all amazing characters. Montana Kingsley partnered with her friend to start their own wedding planning business, The Blushing Bride. A business that took off after a celebrity held their wedding at the Inn in town, which became their most popular venue. But the notoriety captured the attention of a billionaire property developer who approached the owners and made them an off they couldn’t refuse. The new owner plans to knock down the inn to build a bigger space, and only gave Montana one month to use the venue, so she has to find venues for all the rest of the weddings she book there. She is not happy about that, but even worse is losing a place that was meaningful to her, a place she spent time in growing up because her father worked there. When her friends convince her to go out and party, and get lucky, since it had been a while, she does just that, and winds up having a sizzling encounter with a smoking hot guy. Except that guy turns out to be the enemy, Myles St. James, the property developer. The back-and-forth banter between these two was brilliant and the chemistry between them smoking hot. It was great watching these two get to know each other while working together, mostly opposites, but perfect for each other. I loved all the layers of this story and how it all plays out with the perfect balance of drama, angst, humor via witty banter, charming and heartwarming moments, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. As always, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. Laura Pavlov, thank you for another wonderful story, the laughs and the emotional roller coaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life, giving each a voice that was fitting and was believable in every role. Meadows had the perfect amount of sass for the witty dialogue, and was a natural in Montana’s role, grasping all aspects of Montana’s personality and demeanor perfectly. Duran nailed it as Myles, the serious, trying to keep his emotions at bay billionaire, alpha-tude included, with his caring and playful side slipping out with his good deeds. Their pacing and tone were just right for the story and their captivating keeps you glued to the story. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to.

Another Laura Pavlov book that I love?! I am SHOCKED. Actually, not at all because I just adore Laura's writing and her characters and the spice and the romance. It always comes together so perfectly and I adored this book so much.
Myles and Montana have some amazing chemistry. They have a "one night stand" and then it turns out that Myles is in town for an extended period of time. Their one-night stand turns into a "no strings attached" situation...and spoiler...the strings become attached LOL.
Laura always has the best nicknames for her characters and these ones do not disappoint at all. I'm ready to pack my bags and move to Blushing, Alaska! Let's go!
🎧The narration by Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran was pretty good and they brought the characters to life.

ALC Review -
Welcome to Blushing, Alaska, where the coffee is strong, the townspeople are nosy, and your one-night stand might just bulldoze your career dreams. Or, maybe… steal your heart.
Laura Pavlov serves up a swoony, spicy enemies-to-lovers rom-com with You, Me, and Forever, and the ALC version is a cozy treat—think fuzzy socks, firelight, and the sound of Troy Duran’s grumbly billionaire baritone in your ears. Honestly, is there anything this man can’t make sound like an invitation to fall in love?
Troy is always a winner for me—his deep, velvety voice hits every time, and he breathes life into Myles St. James, a hotshot developer with emotional baggage and some serious small-town adaptation issues. He walks the line between arrogant and vulnerable in a way that feels authentic, even when you kinda want to throw something him.
Cicely Meadows, new to me, absolutely nails Montana’s character. There's a lightness to her tone, but she never reads as passive. Instead, her voice carries Montana’s fire, humor, and heart. You can hear her ambition, her frustration, and—my favorite—her ability to go toe-to-toe with a Manhattan mogul without losing her smile (or her sass). She’s sweet but never saccharine, strong without being stiff. A narrator to watch, for sure.
Montana and Myles have the kind of chemistry that would fog up even the chilliest Alaskan windows. The fake names, the surprise business feud, the flirty warfare—it’s rom-com gold. And when that emotional depth sneaks in? Chef’s kiss. I adored the contrast between his penthouse plans and her deep-rooted small-town dreams.
And can we talk about the animal cameos? A big balled moose with impeccable timing. A porcupine with strong opinions. The town of Blushing might just be the real main character here, full of quirky personalities and the best meddling neighbors.
The banter? Sharp.
The tension? Delicious.
The HEA? Satisfying in that “I knew it all along but still swooned anyway” kind of way.

If you’re looking for a warm, funny, emotionally rich romance with top-tier narration, You, Me, and Forever should be your next listen. Big thanks to Laura Pavlov, NetGalley, Valentine PR, and Brilliance Publishing & Audio for the ALC—I’ll take one Myles St. James to go, please. Preferably narrated by Troy Duran. Forever.

4 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧
This was so sweet. I absolutely loved Myles and Montana and watching them fall in love. There's something so much fun about one night stand to lovers stories, especially when it turns out they're enemies and shouldn't like each other (in this case, one sided). This book was filled with laughs and was adorably swoony.
This town was absolutely perfect. The wildlife had me rolling in laughter, especially the moose and porcupine and Myles' reaction to them all. The friends and family were also wonderful and I'm really hoping we get some interconnected standalones in Blushing.
The audio was great. Cicely Meadows was wonderful as Montana and Co and I loved this listen. Thank you so much to Valentine PR for this advanced copy!

4.5 ⭐️ Laura moves us to Alaska and I’m here for it. This was so cute! I mean, a well hung moose and a porcupine hang out? Sounds like a blast to me!
I feel like this was the funniest of Laura’s books I read. When our “diamond dealer” first meets Miles with her friends “Marilyn” and “Dr. Pepper” I was cackling. I also loved that our FMC was a wedding planner. So fun!
You know what you’re getting when you pick up a Laura Pavlov book, a swoony good time. She knows how to write romance with the perfect balance of plot and spice. You, Me and Forever was no different. I’m excited to see the way this series unfolds
The audio is fantastic! Performed in dual narration with Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran. I would’ve loved a duet narration but these two narrators do a great job in dual format.
Thank you to Valentine PR and the author for the ALC.

Narration by Troy Duran and Cicely Meadows.

This was such a good pallet cleanser!! This man is absolutely the best! I knew he was a big push over from the start!!! But oh how nice it was to hear him change as the book went! And the fact that he was the one to cave first at trying make things right with her made it better!!
She’s so guarded and bullheaded, but with every reason to be. She made him work for it and I’m glad she did! She deserved it more than anything!!
I loved this audio, only thing I would have changed was making it duet. But I am totally ok with how it is now, they both did such an amazing job with their performance!!

You, Me, and Forever
Series: Blushing, Book 1
By: Laura Pavlov
Narrated by: Cicely Meadows, Troy Duran
Laura Pavlov! Where are these small towns? I want to visit each and every one. Blushing has quickly become a favorite that I can't wait to come back to. Montana is devastated as the one place she does her most business,but more importantly holds a special place in her heart has been purchase. As a wedding planner, she knows venues, and this one took the cake. Taking the night off and enjoying a one night stand for the first time seems like something that could ease the pain. Myles enjoyed the night, intrigued by her, but the next day, she found out just who he was. Myles is the real estate mogul, the one only interested in making money and the one who has destroyed her life. From here the story goes. Pavlov creates a fabulous story, full of small town feels and love and memories. I especially loves Montana's dad. His advice is key, and his no nonsense attitude is refreshing. The growing feelings between Montana and Myles had my heart from the start and I loved the ending! I can't wait to visit Blushing again!
Cicely Meadows and Troy Duran are the story tellers for this one, and I loved it! Meadows is Montana, and the personality she gives her is fabulous. Anger and fear of new, the frustration and love all come through at just the right times and make Montana perfectly real. Myles is single minded, and the way Duran works him through to see more than just his business is key. Loved these two, they brought this story alive.

You, Me and Forever was a sweet, cute and heartwarming read. I enjoyed it. The banter was one of my fave things. It had me highly amused and chuckling quite a few times. I loved the tension and back and forth between Myles and Montana especially at the beginning. I loved these characters and their journey. I loved watching them overcome long held misconceptions about themselves and the other obstacles that came at them. It was a low angst read but high in emotions. I'm so looking forward to reading the next book. I loved the way the narrators brought these characters and story to life. I enjoyed listening to them.
