When his young sister arranges a photoshoot based on his Stud Farm and home as the venue, Matt Darling is anything but pleased! He reluctantly goes to collect the star model, Anastacia Harper, from the airport and is totally Mr Grump the farmer! Ana is not impressed by his attitude and tells him so. She is nothing like he’d envisaged. He was expecting a beautiful lady, of course, but he’d also anticipated her being a total prima donna, a really spoilt fake seeking adulation of her fans in a celebrity world - and she’s nothing like that at all. Both have tragic events in their past, can they overcome these to find true love? You’ll have to read the book to find out!

A seasonal Christmas read with a range of great characters, lots of angst, misunderstandings and drama - I hope there will be other books telling the stories of other characters - especially Pippa, Alix and Mrs Henderson!

I loved Forever Darling by Sarah Randall. Matt and Ana are complete opposites. Ana a model is tired of being surround by all of the fakeness of her world--yet she is lonely and does not want to be. Matt prefers his solitude and is not happy when he and Ana end of trapped together because of snowstorm. But as they get to know each other preconceived notions they have of each other start to melt away. This is a beautiful story

First Christmas read of the year! Actually, although it's set around Christmas time, Forever His Darling isn't overwhelmingly Christmassy. Which is good, because it's only November and I don't want to get in that seasonal mood too early, only to lose it when Christmas finally comes around! It might not be overbearingly Christmassy, but what Forever His Darling is, is a lovely winter chick-lit romance. It's my favourite kind of Brit-chick-lit. Full of warm fuzzies, cheeky dialogue and interesting characters.
Randall presents us with a winter wonderland set, a wonderfully lovable family, a heroine who captures hearts and minds, and a story that makes you smile. She's injected just the right amount of will they/won't they, just to keep things interesting, and that very British way of scowling, snogging and breaking down misconceptions makes for a wonderful read.

great read. Ana has a photoshoot arranged at a studfarm venue. She is collected by the owner who isn't at all impressed that his sister arranged it without letting him know. He comes across very arrogantly and he's expecting her to be a complete diva. When it snows, the rest of the crew are unable to get to the isolated farm and Ana actually starts to enjoy life in the village and the villagers all fall in love with her. Despite himself, Matt enjoys her company.

She shows an interest in the farm and the housekeeper adores her. They even arrange an early Christmas to make sure that she gets to enjoy a family Christmas for the first time.

She has a fantastic contract offered to her- but it's in New York. Can she face going back to the whirl of her media life?

It was a lovely festive read.

Many thanks to Carina UK and Net Galley for a copy of this great book

5 Words: Love, fame, press, family, Christmas.

If any of you reading this know anything about me, you know how much I LOVE this time of year. So when I saw the gorgeous cover of Forever His Darling, I hit that request button without even reading the blurb.

This is a sweet story with plenty of humour, perfect for long, cold nights and rainy days. I loved the dynamics of the relationship despite the quickness. In fact, it was because of the near-insta-love that I loved this. Because sometimes that love-at-first-sight thing works, and it definitely did this time. Wowsers. Talk about passion!

I also loved the turmoil and back-stories to the characters, reading about how everything came about and why they are how they are.

What a perfect ending :)

Again, loved it!! I read these two out of order by reading Pip & Jumal's story first but really that made no difference. This one was just as amazing. So quick, fun, sexy, quirky, and overall likeable. Matt was a grumpy Gus at the beginning trying to avoid his feelings for Ana and just stay in his world, but Ana was able to bring him back to a full life. She was able to help him have fun and enjoy things. They had such fun and chemistry. Everything about this book was fun and sexy, two thumbs up!

WHAT I SAY I have not read any of Sarah's book i did enjoy this book .I loved the cover it one of them that makes you want to pick up and read. The story just flows and you flow with it i found it to be a very heart warming book . It very easy to read just a lovely story .

All the characters were very nice you will warm to them all . The book paced with drama i felt the plot had a few misunderstanding but that seem to bring the fun into the plot we all should just talk more to each other

He was a great character very handsome and just a very warm guy he so good at his job but he not happy we do get to hear why My heart when out to him i just wanted him to be happy May this shot will bring him happiness ?

They just seem to hate each other or do they ? Both of them seem to have attitude can they just get on They seem to like each other they open up to each other the book follow them as they seem to be falling in love could they find passion together

Just as they seem to be getting on a very very bad snow storm hit them and they are trapped at Melville house they now only got each other for company it seems to being out the best in them or does it ? You have to read to find out The story just so nice i enjoy finding out about both of them it a lovely christmas book you just want them to be happy

Another Christmas story in March. I think that there is nothing wrong with feel-good stories no matter what the time of year it is. Because this is exactly that, a feel-good story that will restore your faith in love and happily ever after.

Matt Darling is everything that a woman can ever want. But his attitude is one of a kind. After his last relationship that caused him a lot of pain, he turned himself into an ice. No feelings, no more Mr. Nice Guy. The last thing he wants is house full of strangers on Christmas Eve. But his family is lack of money, and hosting the model for the photo shooting is just something that has to be done in order to earn some money. His little sister has a very unique way to help the family. Hosting the very famous Anastacia Harper is her idea. But the snow has fallen and that model has nowhere to go. And the ice around his heart slowly starts to melt.

Anastacia Harper has an amazing modeling career and thinks she has everything. But meeting the Darling family she slowly realizes what she is missing in her life: a family, people who love you and stand by your side no matter what. For the very first time she finds out what is it like to have a sister, to have a mother that loves you. And finally, she finds someone who can love her just the way she is, forever and ever.

So, celebrating the International Women's Day, here is an amazing romantic story that will make every woman feel good. If you believe in happily ever after, then, trust me, this is a story that you don't wanna miss. Two amazing characters and a love story full of ups and down. Perfect gift for every woman.

My opinion: 4.5 / 5.
