Steve Borgia should be happy that Autumn Winters is back in his life.
A drunken brawl with a prostitute has cost Steve his teaching job, though, forcing him to flip burgers at the Greece Hut. Plus, Steve never knows if, or when, Autumn’s going to skip town again.
Fed up with his fast food career, Steve decides to follow in his famous father's footsteps and return to the wrestling ring. The money's good, but the new job is taking its toll on both his body as well as his relationship with Autumn. Even if they get past their tumultuous break-up/make up, will Steve be in any condition to enjoy it?
Meanwhile, electric guitar virtuoso and arachnid expert Eleanor Crawley has to navigate her own crisis. When her boyfriend Phil is caught in a compromising position with a co-worker and the image goes viral on social media, she is utterly humiliated. But is dumping Phil for quintessential 'lady's man' Rich Richards really a good idea? And if she could only quit dreaming about being in bed with Steve...and Autumn...
Forever Winter takes you from the mean streets of New York City to the neon lights of Tokyo. You’ll laugh, you’ll sigh, but you’ll be glad you came along for the ride. - See more at: http://books.simonandschuster.com/For...
Forever Winter by Christopher Scott Wagoner is even better than Forever Autumn, the first book in the series. While it is not entirely necessary to read Forever Autumn first, it will make somethings clearer, and it's a fun read, too. I actually like Forever Winter better than the first book because the main character moves past simply reacting to the situations in his life, and begins to make more proactive decisions. Watching the main character, Steve, mature and grow is fascinating and Wagoner's writing is really enjoyable. As in Forever Autumn, the erotic parts are very detailed and Adult only. And still fun to read. Buy it, read it, pass it around to your girlfriends!
Maintains the wit and quirkiness of Forever Autumn while introducing interesting new conflicts. If you enjoyed the first book in this series, you'll get a kick out of this one, too!
I definitely enjoyed getting the whole gang together again in Forever Winter! I totally fell for this geeky group in Forever Autumn and was happy to see a second book!
Steve and Autumn are recovering from some of the events they previously faced, now Steve is working crappy odd-jobs trying to make ends meet after an unfortunate fight with a transvestite that cost Steve his teaching job. He is struggling emotionally as well as financially, trying to trust that Autumn truly does love him. When an opportunity to follow in his famous wrestler father’s footsteps comes about, it is an opportunity Steve can’t afford to pass up.
We also get a lot of Crawley and Phil’s story in this book, which I definitely enjoyed even though they are facing their own difficulties and insecurities. Phil is in love for the first time, but wonders if it’s enough and Crawley doubts his feelings for her as well.
One thing I love about these books is how realistic these characters are; I feel like I could be friends with these guys or see them at work. They are your everyday people and they are dealing with everyday struggles. I loved following them on this journey and was rooting for them all the way, and cringing a little at some of the behind the scenes wrestler secrets – OW!
Forever Winter was a great follow-up to Forever Autumn and I’m so glad I found these books and these characters. Autumn and Steve are just perfect for each other, so wonderfully written to complement each other, imperfections and all. I loved this whole group, especially Sven and his can of ass-whip, I swear I giggled every time! This is definitely a fun series to read and I would recommend it to anyone looking for some real life fun, endearing characters.
