Now and Forever

Windy Harbor #5

by Willow Aster

What happens in Vegas…stays with you. A steamy, small-town, single-dad romance full of humor, heat, and so much heart from USA Today bestselling author Willow Aster.

I flew to Vegas to watch my little sister Goldie get married, not to fall for a stranger with a British accent and a laugh that could undo a man in one syllable. But that's exactly what happened.

By morning, she was gone, the ghost of her perfume on the pillow, and a feeling I couldn't shake for months.

Imogen was supposed to be a story I'd never tell anyone. Especially not Grayson, my son.

Because Imogen was the one thing Grayson wanted—a woman in our life. Someone to fill the void his mom had left, and someone to make his dad happy.

I told myself it was for the best—that Grayson needed a father who kept his heart exactly where it with him.

My life in Windy Harbor has been quiet. Until a caravan of cameras, assistants, and matching luggage rolls into town, and I find out the woman who vanished on me in Vegas isn't just unforgettable—she's Imogen Edwards, the London influencer with a zillion followers and a life I can't begin to understand.

Suddenly my carefully guarded existence isn't mine anymore. And the woman I never stopped thinking about is standing on my porch, entourage in tow, asking more of me than I can deliver.

She knows exactly what happened between us that night—a truth I never told a single soul, one that's about to turn everything I thought I wanted upside down.

Now and Forever is book five in the interconnected, standalone Windy Harbor series.

A wildly unexpected, deliciously dreamy, and heartwarming finale not just for our last Whitman but also for the whole entire crew!

Not to be dramatic, but may I first just express my deep sadness that Now and Forever marks the end of this fantastic Windy Harbor series? I'm seriously so sad. I have freaking LOVED this series and this one might be my favorite of them all. I absolutely adored every detail of this romance. A total feels-fest that gave me life. I devoured this!

All the sweet, all the swoon, all the feels…I fell hopelessly in love with Noah and Imogen…and little Grayson! Every moment of their beautiful romance gave me feels. It’s a dreamy, sweet, heartfelt story with the perfect touch of angst. I cannot say enough good things. I loved every minute.

This series is so near and dear to my heart, and I have absolutely loved my time spent in Windy Harbor. Such sweet and charming love stories with the best dreamy, romantic, sweet, and tender feels moments. It feeds my bookish heart, I can’t even tell you! I loved the story of the Whitman family, and I’m so sad it’s over. I want more. A lot more. *sobs*. But like old friends, I will definitely revisit them in rereads!

Now and Forever by Willow Aster eARC Review 🤍

I am so sad this series has come to an end. I’ve completely fallen in love with the Whitman family and all of their crazy shenanigans. Noah, Imogen and Grayson absolutely stole my heart and their story is the perfect ending to the Windy Harbor series.

This book has some of my favorite tropes and I truly loved every single second of it. I honestly had a permanent grin on my face while reading this book. My heart can’t take the love I have for this series and this amazing family.

Sweet, sweet, Noah. This man may take the top book boyfriend spot for this series. The heart this man has, my gosh…he had me swooning. The absolute best dad, that has some trauma to work through in order to open his heart, but Imogen is patient with him. Their love is so special and such a whirlwind romance.

BRB while I move to Windy Harbor with my favorite fictional fam 🤎

What to expect:
Vegas wedding
One night stand
Single dad
Small town

Thank you so much Willow and VPR for the arc!

Nothing good ever happens in Vegas… or does it?! This was such a sweet and emotional story of one night in Vegas, a single dad and emotional moments and growth. I enjoyed their story and the epilogue especially. There were moments when side characters really got to me but overall I loved Noah and his son and the ending they got.

Thanks, @willowaster and @mustloveaudio for the gifted copy.

When Noah flies to Vegas for his sister's wedding, the last thing he expected was to get swept up by a beautiful, vibrant woman with raven hair, deep green eyes and a British accent. One dance, one drink, more dancing, more drinking and he wakes up alone... with a wedding band on his finger and no bride in sight!

To his surprise, Imogen lands in Windy Harbor with her whole lifestyle influencer entourage ready to sort out an annulment. It's the right thing to do - after all, it was a spur of the moment wedding, with them completely under the influence and Noah has his five-year-old, Grayson, to consider. 

But the Universe intervenes with the help of a judge who not only doesn't grant them the annulment (the marriage was consummated) but who tells them to stay married for a few months to test it out and come back for a divorce if they change their minds.

Imogen stays and things get complicated when the influencer's life gets mixed with the single dad's quiet one. But the feelings? They just grew, complicating things even more. 

As an audiobook lover, I was in audio heaven! This is narrated in duet by the incomparably talented Zara Hampton-Brown and the equally amazing Connor Crais. They're fire together and they flex ALL their acting chops with all sorts of voices and accents. Absolute perfection! 

What you get: the classic intoxicated Vegas wedding, an adorable little boy, lifestyle influencer entourages, cold Minnesota winter, meddling grandmas, Jello concoctions, grand transatlantic gestures, second weddings, becoming a 'mum', betrayals, a villain getting his due (FINALLY!!!), shocking skinny dipping situations, a family that steps up and a lovely HEA.

I am sorry to say goodbye to this family, but excited for what Willow brings next!

Content notes (including but not limited to): mentions of loss of parent/partner, recovering from cancer

Now and Forever
Windy Harbor Series, Book 5
By: Willow Aster
Narrated by: Zara Hampton-Brown, Connor Crais

Willow Aster is a favorite and remains high on my list for her books like this one. Grab my heart, squish it hard and slowly let it back out! Noah lives guarding his heart and protecting his son. Who thought when he went to Vegas he would end up married! Now back home, he does his best to put it in his past until Imogen comes to town with her influencer crew. Now the fun begins as these two try to figure out just what to do next. Stay together? Survive with separate lives? Imogen has some big decisions to make as she falls not only for Noah, but his son Grayson and the entire family. Noah has to learn to deal with her public persona and how it effects his family. And I can't not mention all the family, how supportive and how the real advice naturally comes. Then the thread of suspense. Twists, turns, love, passion, family, loved this listen!

Zara Hampton-Brown and Connor Crais are the story tellers for this one and WOW. The combination of these two made this listen fly by. Brown brings all the feels as Imogen. Immy is confident, beautiful and ambitious, but her time with Grayson and Noah shines through Brown's voice with all the love. Crais comes in with the walls around Noah's heart melting only to put them back up in an instant. The nuances in his voice create the emotional tugs. With all the secondary characters too, these talented voices are incredible. This is a fabulous listen!

🎧 Audio Review 🎧

Cheers to one hot dish daddy! Now and Forever by Willow Aster was a sweet and swoony small town romance that had me kicking my feet and so damn giddy from start to finish. I couldn’t get enough of Noah and Imogen’s Vegas wedding / one night stand vibes that had me longing for these two to stay married forever. I have adored every couple in Willow’s Windy Harbor series so much.

Zara Hampton-Brown and Connor Crais perform this audiobook in duet-style narration, and their voices both fully embodied all the tension and desire Imogen and Noah had to give. Zara’s soft, passionate voice conveyed all of Imogen’s dedication to her job and love for Noah. Connor’s warm, enticing timbre embraced Noah’s conflicted and charismatic demeanor as he dealt with past feelings and gave into a hopeful future with Imogen. Both narrators did some fantastic accent work for various side characters, making this a fully immersive listening experience.

Overall, I LOVED this book. If you are a fan of a small town romance with hot hunky contractor, a beautiful fashionable content creator, an adorable son, Vegas hookup turned wedding, resort visits, friendship bench chats, supportive family, close proximity, comfort kisses, sweet poems, hot dish power, tabloid gossip, betrayal, slow burn spice, more Bruce drama, intimate conversations, grand gesture trips, love declarations, and a HEA that will last forever, then you will love Imogen and Noah’s story. I always look forward to more from Willow Aster.

Back to Windy Harbour and finally it’s Noah’s turn! I’ve loved Noah throughout this whole series. He’s always been the quiet brother in the background, there whenever his siblings need him, and the most wonderful dad to Grayson, so I couldn’t wait to finally get his story.
I loved Imogen from the moment we met her. She has such a huge heart, and I was rooting for her and Noah from the very beginning. Their relationship completely pulled me in, and you just knew that their plans for a quick annulment were never going to be quite that simple!
I absolutely loved the forced proximity and watching their connection develop. The chemistry and attraction between them was impossible to miss, even when they were trying to convince themselves otherwise. Of course, it wouldn’t be Windy Harbour without all the family shenanigans! I adore this family, and Erin had me laughing so much in this one. She really has become part of the family and is such a hoot! I also loved Imogen’s friendships and the support they gave her throughout the story. There is so much love, friendship and family woven into this book. Noah and Imogen were the perfect couple to bring this series to a close. A beautiful, funny and heartwarming ending to a family I’ve absolutely loved spending time with.

ALC review

Noah went to Vegas to see his little sister getting married. While there he falls hard for a stranger with an British accent. He ends up married to Imogen. The next morning however she is gone... after a reunion months later they find out that they are actually perfect for each other, they just have to find out how to make everything work.
This was an enjoyable read. I loved the back and forth between Noah and Imogen a lot. There were times however I would like to smack them in the head and make them communicate with each other. I loved the addition of Grayson to the story. The little boy was made to melt hearts.
As for the whole storyline, I had the feeling the story could have used some extra depth and some extra bumps in the road to make it more interesting. Other than that I've enjoyed reading this.

Audio book – 4 stars
This book was narrated by Zara Hampton-Brown and Connor Crais. Both are incredible talented and I enjoyed listening to them portraying our main characters.
All the different emotions are layed out wonderfully.
The audio production did have a static sound in the background in about 80% of the time. Not very noticeable, but enough for me to do. I don't know if this is removed before the release. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star.

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

And just like that… the Windy Harbor series is officially OVER, and I genuinely don’t know what to do with myself. 😭💔

I have had the absolute privilege of ARC reading all FIVE books in this series, and I feel like a little piece of me is gone now that it’s over. This series was EVERYTHING and SO much more. The characters, the relationships, the emotions, the small-town atmosphere… I have loved every single second of being part of this world.

But Noah and Imogen? Oh, they might just take the crown as my FAVORITE couple of the entire series. The yearning, the tension, the emotions… and a SINGLE DAD who knows how to make you swoon?! 🥵 Someone check on me because I was NOT okay!

Willow Aster has given us something truly special with Windy Harbor, and while I’m not ready to say goodbye, I’m so grateful I got to experience every single story along the way.

Thank you so much to Willow Aster and the team at Valentine PR for the #gifted eARC and for allowing me to be part of this incredible series from beginning to end. It has been such a joy!

Now excuse me while I mourn the end of Windy Harbor. 🥹💚

[Kaitlin Johnston · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have one HUGE complaint about the book. It wasn’t long enough 😭 I LOVED every second of this series, Now and Forever included and I’m so sad it’s over. I devoured it in one day and then was mad I didn’t savor it 😅

Some of the best tropes are in this book;

* Single dad
* One night stand
* Accidental marriage
* Small town

Noah (MMC) really surprised me in this book. Always the reliable one in the rest of the series, I enjoyed seeing his character let loose. Imogen (FMC) was such a pleasant addition to the series and I loved the connection between her and the Grandmas and her and Grayson.

The text threads with Erin may have been my favorite part of the book though. She’s crazy in the best way and the conversations added so much funny banter to the story. It was the perfect way to wrap up the series (even if I’m devastated it’s over).

[Jenn the Readaholic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Man, does Noah step in it! I mean, he finds the perfect woman. Loses her. Re-finds her (or she finds him). Is given the chance at trying to keep her. And…fumbles it. Badly. He and Imogen are perfect for each other, but fears get in the way. Old, new, imagined. I will say that when Noah gets his head on straight, he gives excellent apology and good grovel. Sure, he looks to everyone for the assist, but that’s what this family is here for anyway. They’ve all been waiting for the chance to be there for Noah like he’s been there for them, and they absolutely do not disappoint!

Imogen is fantastic on her own, and I’m honestly glad that she didn’t stick around where she seemed to be unwanted. It hurt, but she’s worth more than that. And she’s brave and deserving of the best someone has to give.

These two are bittersweet because it’s the end of another series, but I’m pretty sure we got a hint of what’s coming next. And where. Maybe? I’m kind of betting on it!

ARC Review
I was ecstatic to receive this ARC from Valentine PR and the Author. I read the tropes included in this book and was immediately invested!

💎Vegas Wedding
🩷One Night Stand
👨🏻Single Dad
🩷Opposites Attract
🏠Small Town
🔍Suspense

This was the final book for The Windy Harbor Series and Willow did not disappoint. I’m going to be 💯 honest, I have not read the other books, I jumped right into the Whitman clan with Noah and Imogen and LOVE THEM! Watching Noah let his wall come down for Imogen, Imogen putting herself into his world and his son was EVERYTHING! I hate that the story is over, but it was so wholesome. I laughed, cried and loved this whole clan.

🌊❤️ Sometimes one unforgettable night is all it takes to change your forever... ❤️🌊

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.5/5)
Spice-meter: 🌶️☆☆☆☆ (1/5)
Audiobook: 🎧 Duet
Series: Windy Harbor, Book 5 (interconnected standalone)
HEA: Yes

Now and Forever was such a fun, sweet, steamy, and emotional return to Windy Harbor. Willow Aster once again delivers everything I love about this series: wonderful characters, heartfelt relationships, plenty of humor, and that cozy small-town atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. But knowing this is the final book makes it a little bittersweet. I am honestly so sad to say goodbye to the Whitman family and all their crazy chaos. I've completely fallen in love with this world and have loved every single second of being part of it.

Noah and Imogen's story was such a lovely one. What starts as an unforgettable night in Vegas turns into an unexpected reunion months later, when the woman Noah never managed to forget suddenly shows up in his small town. They come from two completely different worlds, and Noah has spent a long time protecting his heart and putting his son first. I loved watching him navigate the possibility of opening his life and heart to someone again, especially when Imogen turns out to be exactly the person he never expected to need.

But can we talk about Grayson for a moment? Because that little boy absolutely stole my heart! Grayson's wish to see his dad happy made everything that little bit sweeter. I adored the family element, the emotional moments, and the way their relationship developed. Add in the humor, chemistry, and wonderful small-town family vibes, and this was another beautiful addition to the series.

What I Loved

✔️ Noah and Imogen's unexpected reunion and undeniable chemistry.
✔️ The single-dad romance and Noah's journey toward opening his heart again.
✔️ Grayson! That adorable little boy completely stole the show.
✔️ The contrast between Imogen's glamorous influencer lifestyle and Noah's quiet small-town world.
✔️ The humor, banter, and entertaining moments.
✔️ The emotional depth and heartfelt family dynamics.
✔️ The wonderful found-family atmosphere and familiar faces from previous books.
✔️ The Whitman family and all their crazy shenanigans.
✔️ Another chance to spend time in the world of Windy Harbor.

🎧 Narration

Performed in duet narration by Zara Hampton-Brown and Connor Crais.

Once again, Zara Hampton-Brown proves just how incredibly talented she is. Every book I listen to narrated by her feels like an experience. She really pulls you into the story and brings every emotion to life in such a beautiful and natural way. She was absolutely perfect as Imogen, capturing her personality, vulnerability, and British charm.

Connor Crais was, as always, fantastic as Noah. He brought the warmth, depth, and protective nature of this single dad to life beautifully. Together, Zara and Connor made a wonderful team, and their performances made this already lovely story even more enjoyable.

Final Thoughts

Now and Forever was a lovely, heartfelt, and entertaining addition to the Windy Harbor series. I loved Noah and Imogen together, but Grayson was definitely one of the highlights for me. Their story had everything I enjoy in a small-town romance: humor, chemistry, emotional moments, family dynamics, and plenty of heart.

But more than anything, I'm so sad this series has come to an end. I've completely fallen in love with the Whitman family, the characters, their relationships, and the wonderful little world Willow Aster created in Windy Harbor. Saying goodbye to these familiar faces is definitely bittersweet.

If you love single-dad romances, small-town charm, found-family vibes, and a little Vegas magic, this one is definitely for you!

Windy Harbor, you have been a wonderful place to visit. I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to this family!

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, this is bittersweet! After five books, it’s officially time to say goodbye to the Windy Harbor family, and I’m not ready! I’ve had such a fun time with this series, absolutely adore this family, and am genuinely sad to see it end. But if we have to say goodbye, at least Willow Aster gave us one heck of a sendoff!

Single dad romances are one of my absolute favorite tropes, and I’ve been waiting what feels like forever for Noah’s story. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait! Noah and Imogen have such a sweet and spicy romance, and I loved watching their relationship develop. Their unexpected connection in Vegas was just the beginning, and seeing their worlds collide again in Windy Harbor made for such an entertaining love story.

But can we talk about Grayson?! Because that little boy absolutely stole my heart! I adored his relationship with Imogen. Their interactions were so cute, charming, and genuinely heartwarming. There’s just something about a single dad romance where the love interest develops a special bond with the child that gets me every single time, and this one delivered!

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Zara Hampton-Brown and Connor Crais, and WOW, what a match made in audiobook heaven! I’ve listened to both narrators separately plenty of times, but hearing them together was such a treat. Their chemistry was fantastic, and they brought so much warmth, emotion, and personality to Imogen and Noah. The sweet moments were even sweeter, the spicy moments were extra fun, and the whole listening experience was wonderful.

What I’ve loved most about this series is the family at the heart of it all. Five books later, these characters feel like old friends, and getting to spend one last story with them was such a treat. I’m always a little sad when a favorite series comes to an end, but there’s also something so satisfying about finishing on a high note.

Overall, Now and Forever was a wonderful, heartwarming, sweet and spicy conclusion to a charming series from one of my go-to romance authors. I’m sad to leave Windy Harbor behind, but I couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable final visit!

Perfect for readers who love:

* Single dad romances with adorable kids
* Small town romance and charming communities
* Sweet and spicy love stories
* Unexpected connections and second chances at love
* Close knit families and lovable recurring characters
* Influencer meets small town dad opposites
* Romantic audiobooks with fantastic narrator chemistry
* Heartwarming series

Noah & Imogen

Cant believe we are at the last book of the Windy Harbour series! Ive loved getting to know this family and all their crazy antics.

Its nice that all the siblings are so present in one another's stories.

Noah and Imogen shared a steamy night in Vegas where they came away with rings on their fingers! And suddenly these strangers who share an undeniable connection have to reconnect to work on the annulment...

But this small town has something to say aboit that and these two are thrust together to see if there could actually be something there.

They couldn't be more opposite and it was so nice seeing our grumpy dad come out of his shell.
I wanted a little bit more suspense on the whole drama from the entire series but it was a easy quick read and the found family was beautiful!

- Vegas Wedding
- Strangers to Lovers
- Found Family
- Single Dad
- One Night Stand

Bonus Points go to the antics of the grandma's and the entertaining group chats of all the siblings! I love how Goldie is still making it known to her brothers about her and Milos active love life 🤣

Thankyou to Willow and Valentine PR for the opportunity to read this one early 🫶🏻

Imogen and Noah have a wild night together in Vegas. When she flies to Windy Harbor to fix their problems, things get in the way. Noah was SO swoony. Imogen honestly didn't even have a chance to resist that man. They are completely opposite but their chemistry was undeniable. I loved how effortlessly Imogen got along with Noah's son, Grayson. Their bond was the sweetest. That little boy was absolutely precious and Noah was the best daddy. As always, I love the Whitman clan and how they all love and take care of each other.

This one was sweet, swoony and full of the small town charm that we all love. Now and Forever is officially my favorite of the series. This was a perfect way to say goodbye to Windy Harbor.

🎧 This is a duet narration by Connor Crais & Zara Hampton-Brown. Zara was new to me but I absolutely loved her. The combination of these two literally made me never want to stop listening. I was completely entranced in the story. If you're an audio lover, you gotta listen to this one.

Thank you to Willow and Valentine PR for this ALC. All opinions are my own.

[Liza · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a cute romance and a fun quick read. The premise is that we have are FMC Imogen and our MMC Noah who meet in Vegas, and one thing leads to another and they get married. Due to unforeseen circumstances Imogen rushes out of the hotel room the next day and a month later shows up in Windy Harbor ready to get the marriage annulled. Thanks to Noah’s family and one stubborn judge, the annulment does not take place. Instead, Noah and Imogen have to get divorce which just so happens to mean Imogen has to stay in town for 30 days. During that time, Noah and Imogen find themselves falling for each other and questioning whether they should get divorced at all. There is a little suspense layer to this story as well which was an extra surprise. This is book 5 in the series, but can be read as a standalone, which is how I read it. I can’t wait to go back and read the other books in the series. I listened to this on audiobook and the narrators did amazing. I was provided in ALC of this book and this is my honest review.

[Ashley Morris · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

I love how sweet, light hearted humorous and unhinged all the whitmans are which had me laughing out loud. The instant connection both Imogen and Noah have threw me for a moment, I like a bit more tug and pull, but these two their chemisty really sold the story so beautifully. I also enjoyed that at first I wasnt sure if there was more to Imogen then her love of fashion and her influencer business but as I read more you see that there is a subtle loneliness that connected so much to Noah who is a complete opposite of her. His fear of rejection broke my heart especially when you see how much he loves his family and son. This turned into such a deeper read then a light hearted small town romance. Oh and can we take a moment to swoon for a man who writes love notes.

[book_queen_forever · Rating 4 out of 5]

Such a sweet and beautiful ending to a heartwarming and wonderful series. The last book is Noah’s and Imogen.

I absolutely adored these characters so much. Noah was so sweet and Imogen was such a great main character. They had such great chemistry, I enjoyed reading as they grow together and tried to trust and balance their lives, so their love would have a fighting chance.

As always the side characters of the Whitman family were fantastic and so fun to read!! I love their family dynamic throughout the whole series.
For me now and forever was a easy read, it was sweet and it was beautiful story that featured many different elements.
And all around I think it was just a such a amazing ending to a wonderful series.

Another great book to finish the Windy Harbor Series!! I absolutely loved Imogen and Noah! Their chemistry was off the charts from the beginning! I am so happy that all
of the Whitmans were part of the story again. They are such a loving family and this book had me cracking up at times! Imogen is from London and is a famous influencer, while Noah is a single dad and works in construction. They live such different lives but they quickly realize what they have is once in a lifetime. If you like Single Dad, Small town romances this book is for you! I love Willow Aster and can’t wait to keep reading everything she writes!

I can't believe it's over *sobs* I'm going to miss this family so very much, but Noah and Imogen were the perfect send off and I can't wait to see what's for Willow. I'm such a sucker for accidental marriages and these two were no exception, especially given he was a single dad to the cutest five year old on the planet. I adored Grayson just as much, if not more, than these two and the can I call you mom moment about keeled me. I loved him.

The Bruce storyline wrapped up quite nicely and I was very happy to see him finally go down. Good riddance.

Thank you so much to Willow for the advanced copy!!

What an adorable ending to such an amazing series!

I love this town. I love this series. I love this family. I am going to miss them so much. Between the grandmas and my girl Erin I was laughing so hard!

Vegas weddings are always so fun. Especially bringing in all the incredible laughs that come from all the family members. I love how you had Noah and Imogen's instant connection but then also how they progressively truly fell in love with each other.

Noah's son was the star of the show. All of his cute little one liners and how he instantly fell for Imogen had me swooning.

I am so glad we finally saw Bruce go down!

It's so good, dontcha know!! I could NOT put this down.

I am so glad Noah and Grayson got their happy ever after with Imogen. I loved learning more about the man who is Noah Whitman and why he is the way he is in his family dynamic. Throwing in Imogen and her crew made this so incredibly fun to read. The dynamics between each group grew tenfold when they were all together.

Giving us an ending with Bruce was great to end his storyline within this family. I can't help but keep smiling after reading this book. My Wisconsin heart is so happy and I need to go make a hotdish.

I couldn’t put this book down!

What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas - sometimes it comes back in ways you never dreamed of. That’s what happens to Noah.

There were so many times that I was in tears while reading this - Grayson seriously pulled at my mama heart strings! I loved just how much he was a part of this story - and his scenes were beautifully written!

Those grandmas were a hoot - I love how they love their grandchildren! The bonus scene ended this series perfectly!

Huge thanks to Valentine PR for the advanced reader copy.

Another series has come to an end, but in the best way. I love a single dad trope and Grayson is the cutest. I loved that Imogen was English and being from there myself it was good to see phrases that are typically British and not many understand. I love all the Whitmans but I think Noah is my favourite trying to help everyone but forgets about himself. He’s a great dad to Grayson and generally wants the best for everyone. The bonus epilogue is surprising and fantastic.

We're back for the final installment in Willow Aster's Windy Harbor series, this time with Single Dad, Noah and British influencer Imogen.

A night in Vegas means Imogen has to track Noah down in Minnesota to clear things up, but she quickly falls for the whole Whitman clan.

Aster gave us yet another sweet story full of small town charm, a wonderful family of characters, and the perfect ending to a lovely series. I'm looking forward to seeing where she takes us next!

Audio Review: Now and Forever (Windy Harbor #5) by Willow Aster

Narrated by: Connor Crais & Zara Hampton-Brown

The soul finds it's voice. Imogen and Noah take emotions by storm with the sweetest blend of heat and heart. Now and Forever, sneaks up on your blindside to make a place for itself in your heart. From haunting to tempting, Aster, Crais and Brown are captivating.
