Forever Home, by Hope Toler Dougherty {book review}


About the book

With a fulfilling job and a home of her own, former foster child, Merritt Hastings, relishes her stable, respectable life. Dreaming for more is a sure way for heartache. When a contested will turns her world upside down, she must revaluate what’s important to her, what’s worth fighting for, and what’s worth sacrificing. Patience has never been Sam Daniels’ strong suit with his history of acting quickly and asking questions later, and he’s ready for changes in his life…now. Too bad the plans for acquiring a radio station didn’t include a contract. Now he’s out of a job, out of a radio station, and out of prospects. While his life is in flux, at least he can help Merritt steady hers, or will he rush in and overstep …again? Will the sparks flying between these two opposites lead to a happily-ever-after or heartbreak for both?

What I thought about the book

I found this book an enjoyable read. The chapters are short, which makes it feel like a quick read. I could deeply empathize with Merritt. 

This is book 3 of a series; I definitely want to go back and read the first two.
