Just when you think you might pigeon-hole Lucy Score's writing, she will come along and sweep that away with a flick of her hand. Forever Never was unlike anything I had read by her before, and, honestly, I believe her writing has moved to a different level. Most of her work has involved comedy, and it's what makes her books so enjoyable. I didn't read that comedic trait in this book, and I did not miss it. This book is big, meaty, and filled with so much STORY that you are just too busy absorbing the STORY to fret over what's there or not there.
I chuckled several times over Remi; she was one of the best characters I have read in a while. The things she would say that would begin with Holy and usually followed by a name was smile-worthy every time it popped up. I kept scrambling to find pictures like what she would paint because the descriptions were so vibrant I just wanted to see one with my own eyes. Every flashback to the younger Remi was a story of just the vibrancy of her. It's easy to see why Brick loved her for so long.
At the same time, it's easy to see why Remi loved Brick for so long. He is the personification of the man-mountain: stalwart, protective, caring, and all man. Two opposites that completed each other to make a beautiful whole. Thankfully Lucy Score decided to let us see this clearly destined pair finally get it right. It did involve a mystery, a really, really bad guy, and a crew of year-rounders on Mackinac Island that made me want to live there and ride snowmobiles (maybe do a time trial).
Their story and the mystery that re-unites them is a page-turning love story that requires a lot of each character. And they make it with a lot of steamy stuff to move the process along. But I think what struck me most is how Brick would grab her by her shirt, coat, or sweatshirt to keep her from running off. Or he would just throw her over his shoulder. It was his way of keeping her safe and taking care of her, and it was just something I picked up on that every time it happened, I smiled. Forever Never left me sighing with the HEA, loving Brick and Remi, and knowing this book will be going on my favorite books of 2021.
