Forever Bold

I loved Ariana and Jameson's story? Though knowing me....as long as Ahmed is there in a Keeneston book, I am in.<br /><br />This one even had Sebastian Abel, Dylan and Abby, so it was a dream come true situation honestly. <br /><br /><b>“Why are you helping me?”<br />“Contrary to appearances, I have few real friends. I count Abby and Dylan as friends. If I didn’t help you, I’m pretty sure she’d hurt me. And I’m too handsome to be in pain.”</b> He really is. Sigh<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>“Besides,” Abby said with a cold smile as she and Dylan stepped from the sitting room. “I have no problem shooting you.”<br />“Yeah, I don’t either,” Dylan said. “I’ve heard it makes me a feminist since I don’t care what gender the bad person that I shoot might be.”<br />Abby looked up at her husband. “I really love that about you.”<br />“Thanks, babe.”</b>

<strong>Excellent -lost sleep reading because it was that good</strong><br /><br />WARNING: if you are a long time fan of this series, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, start this book right before bedtime. <br />As a long time fan of this series, I knew better, but I still started reading Forever Bold 30 minutes before bedtime. However, 4 hours disappeared instantly as I was taken back into the small town of Keenston, Kentucky, catching up with favorite characters from previous books. <br />Forever Bold is an excellent extension and addition into the world created by Kathleen Brooks. Arianna's and Jameson's story is well written, and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. The humor and joy from previous books in the series is spread throughout this book in-between moments of suspense. <br />As this is the 15th book in the Forever Bluegrass series, I'd recommend starting from the beginning. While this book is amazing book, it is definitely not a stand-alone. Kathleen Brooks has effortlessly tied in characters from her Forever Bluegrass series, but also added characters from her entire Bluegrass world (Bluegrass State of Mind, Bluegrass Brothers), but added her others characters from her other worlds (Web of Lies, Women of Power, Moonshine Hollow). While not crucial to know the who's who and who they are to enjoy Forever Bold, it will add charm and a little bit more enjoyment for your reading experience. <br />In short, or wordy length, I thoroughly loved Forever Bold. It was worth every hour of lost sleep. I could not put this book down. I laughed, I cried, and I sighed with all of my hopeless romantic self as I read how Arianna and Jameson fought to begin their happily ever after.

Another great contemporary suspense romance. Jameson is perfect for Ariana. But once again, the girl must be saved. Arggg.

ok ok another down.<br /><br />if miles it’s in his late sixties, how old is Marcy? and miss lily, violet and daisy?

Princess Ariana, aka Ari to her friends in Keeneston, KY, is a force to be reckoned with in her pursuit to stop human trafficking and to make countries responsible for their citizens' human rights. She is so good that someone is going to great lengths to stop her efforts. Jameson Duke, her bodyguard, is trying to find out who it is and keep her safe.

<strong>IT WAS SO NICE TO BE BACK IN KEENESTON!!!!?????</strong><br /><br />I loved being back in my favorite town with all my favorite characters!!! As soon as I started reading I was immediately captivated once again by Kathleen Brooks' style of writing and settled down with a big smile to enjoy hours and hours of what I knew would be wonderfully satisfying reading!!! Ari and Jameson were a perfect couple. It was so nice to be back in Dani and Mo's world and have an update of their lives and their children's lives. Ari and Jameson romance was sweet, sexy, and heartwarming. I liked that there was low angst between them and that they were in accord with each other pretty much from the start.... There was plenty of non-stop action and suspense to keep us guessing. And, as usual, there were many, hilarious, lighthearted, tongue in cheek and laugh out loud moments interspersed throughout the story. I love the affection, loyalty, support and camaraderie between all of the characters, and the quirky lovingness of the townspeople. The bantering, teasing, and betting is so wildly amusing to me and always makes the books such an uplifting experience that I hate when the book is finished and I have to wait for the next adventure with the Keeneston family and friends!!! I have read the entire series at least three times and am always amazed and filled with admiration at the wonderful talent of Kathleen Brooks because the books are just as good and engrossing no matter how many times you read them!! I highly recommend this book... It is another winner... And, of course, I recommend the whole series also which has given me many, many, hours of reading pleasure......you will be so glad you read them guaranteed!! ?

A hostile interrogation, complete with baked goods and casseroles?<br /><br />Yep! That's the Keeneston we know and love!<br />Jameson and Ariana's love is true and is one for the books...but obviously it cannot be straight forward!<br />There MAY be some family interfering, dildo attacks, corruption, weddings, acid slime guns, kidnappings, furry handcuffs, oh! And plenty of apple pie too! <br />Basically a normal week in Keeneston!<br />Ariana finally finds the love she craves and her mission in life, in doing so she provides Jameson with the family he never had, one he didn't know existed and it steals your heart.....again!<br />I love this series and I may just be packing my bags to move to Keeneston. If you have been living in a cave for the last ten years and have missed the rest of the series, then I suggest you begin right back at the start with the Bluegrass Series, followed by Bluegrass Brothers and then finally this Bluegrass Forever series...you can try and jump in part way through but it is more enjoyable and will make far more sense if you start at the beginning, the first book is Bluegrass State of Mind and is a free download...try it now, you won't be disappointed!

<strong>?Let the hilarity, adventure, romance and hijinx commence....</strong><br /><br />Firstly, if you've not read any of the books in this series before, I HIGHLY recommend doing so. There are so many characters, familial relationships and backstory that make this tale that much richer if you understand them all. This series is one of my top faves. There's always crazy adventures and suspense, romance, oodles of hijinx, and the most amazing characters filled with love, laughter, protectiveness, and definitely true originals. So set aside time to visit Keeneston, Kentucky and learn the true magic of this VERY original town and it's rather special citizens. The top secret clearances alone in this small town are mind boggling and oh sooooooo much fun to read about. This particular book of the series (that I truly hope continues for years to come!) is in my top 3 faves in said series. It's only surpassed by the book where dear Ahmed learns his baby girl has found love LOL. Abby and Jameson definitely have the most fantastical adventure in this gem....not to mention some rather memorable and LOL funny moments!!! Dive in and fall in love with this town and their citizens.

I LOVED the bluegrass series. I mean Secrets collide is one the books that I can read again and again without any problem...When the author started writing the forever bluegrass books I was over the moon... but now....<br /><br />I seriously feel as if I have been reading the same book over and over again. Just the characters' names are different... The same story, the same villain, the same rescue, the same heroes, the same jokes, the same town to the rescue, the same bullying and overprotective fathers in law...<br /><br />It's getting old and this series is seriously getting out of breath. I read and I can guess what's going to be said on the next page and I am 99% of the time right. Also two pregnant women whose water broke and don't realize it and give birth AT THE SAME TIME in the town cafe with the entire freaking town looking on... nuh nuhu !! nope !! not possible and also stupid...<br /><br />So I am disappointed because Brooks is a good author (bluegrass is great) but now forever bluegrass I feel like she is just milking this story for everything it's worth and it is just becoming cheap. <br /><br />Maybe it's time to move on to something else ^^

Kathleen has done it again! Once again, Kathleen has knocked this book out of the park. Every single time I read one of her books, I think to myself, she can't possibly write a better book, and every time she does!!! This book is full of laughter and tears. We get a chance to catchup with some friends from previous books in the series, and the earlier generations, but we also get a chance to catch up with a few friends the Web of Lies series, and even get a glimpse at some characters from the Women in Power Series. I love the strength that Princess Ariana shows through out this book, and how her need to prove herself turns her into a voice for those who can't be heard. Jameson is one of my all-time favorite characters- he is funny, strong but gentle, and has such a great sense of right and wrong that he goes up against the worst possible enemy to keep Arianna safe. I wish I could give this book one hundred stars, because it doesn't deserve any less! I can't wait to see what comes next.
