Forever Three
If ever there has been a story to give voice to the joy and pain of love, it’s Forever Three. For far too long author and nice guy Dean Cassidy has lived with the misfortune of loving two women at once. Over and over his heart has been stretched, wrenched, twisted, and bruised in an emotional tug-of-war. Dean has loved his wife, Maddy, since long before they took their vows, but after 22 years, he still can’t shake the memory of his childhood sweetheart, Theresa Wayman. And now things are getting worse. Suddenly, the torturous triangle is closing in on him like a three-sided vice. Day after day Dean is pummeled by a dizzying, soul-numbing succession of guilt, joy, tragedy and uncertainty. He’s all but lost the will to go on. Nevertheless, the human spirit does not destruct easily. It is resilient and tenacious. And as close to going down as Dean is, he’s determined to keep swinging until the very end. The question is will it be enough?

"Love is a lot like fingerprints - no two are ever the same."
Forever Three by Tom Winton is another thought provoking, mesmerizing story that had me glued to the pages. Easy to get caught up into this emotional drama that had my mind buzzing even when I put the book down. The author has the ability to capture your attention by his authentic, realistic, in your face writing style that feels more fact than fiction. I was easily lured in and captivated.
Loving two women at the same time doesn't make you pity a person until you get into the heart of it, as Mr. Winton does.

"I lurched forward toward the porch steps but then caught myself. I wanted in the worst way to run after her, tackle her onto the grass, hold her in the fading sunlight and never let her go. But I didn't. She didn't want me to make it any harder than it already was for her, and I owed her that. Feeling as if I'd just taken a crushing blow to the solar plexus, all I did was step slowly to the wooden railing, lean my hands on it for support, and watch what came next."

Not your typical hearts and flowers romance novel
If you are looking for a fulfilling, heartwarming yet realistic read that will leave a lasting impression on you then try this, you will not be disappointed. This is not your typical hearts and flowers romance novel. It is at times a heart-rending tale of love, family, grief, hope and commitment against the odds, being set in the backdrop of emotional infidelity. A subject that many avoid or deny exists it is honestly portrayed in this outstanding novel. It is cleverly constructed to dip and out of Dean's past to convey a story which starts with a teenage love affair torn apart by immature actions and changing family circumstances. Despite Dean and Theresa, his first love, both moving on to decades of life and love apart from each other physically; psychologically they are set to reunited, but not without consequences. As Dean achieves success as an author this is overshadowed by tragedy. The depiction of his demise into grief, alcohol and gambling habits following the death of his wife brings a tear or at least empathy to the hardest of souls. A highly recommended read and as cliché as it sounds I read this thinking 'what an awesome film it would make.'

Tom Winton. Great story
Forever Three.
I have read all of Tom Wintons books, and I love the way tells the story, he makes you feel part of the book. In this book we follow the times of Dean. Dean was a salesperson who wrote a book that was published by one of the bigger company's.
He went on to write more books and became a very successful author. He was married to Maddie and had 2 kids but he could not let his first love Theresa go from his mind.
This book will grip you from start to end and will take you through every emotion on a roller coaster of a journey. Highly recommended.
5 stars. 30 January 2015.

Tom Winton has gone and done it again, told a wonderfully romantic (and painful) story about a man's two great loves, his wife of many years whom he loses in a fatal car crash, and the woman he's loved ever since he was a teenager who lives on in his memory. What will he do? What CAN he do? With great skill, Tom Winton shows us as only he can do.

Fair book
I chose 3. Stars because I didn't like the ending. This
man wasn't worthy of either woman's love. He was never happy with what he had.
