Once and For All

by A.L. Vincent

Will a hurricane's aftermath lead Carly to her happily-ever-after, once and for all? Carly Devereaux is stuck in a rut. As a manager at Snapper’s Bar and Grill, she spends her days dreaming about writing, and her nights talking herself out of her growing attraction to her friend and business partner, Joey. While Joey has always been there for her, she fears chancing a relationship could ruin the bond between them. Until a hurricane blows her life apart. Picking up the pieces means a fresh start in a new city, where she meets engaging locals who awaken her creative muse. Enter Lucky LeBlanc... One look at his dimpled grin and humble southern charm proves to be the catalyst to reclaiming her mojo Carly was searching for. But when things begin to heat up with both Lucky and Joey, Carly is faced with a choice. Will she indulge herself in something thrilling and new? Or jeopardize a friendship in hopes of finding her happily ever after?

To say that I Loved Once and For all would be an Understatement, I FLOVED it. I was excited to go back to Bon Chance and see what the boonies were up to. Once and For all brings us Carley and Joey's Story and one that I have been patiently waiting to read.

Carley has never really had to rely on just herself a lot in life, she has always had friends who have helped her tremendously along the way. But when she is made to step away from everything that she knows will she find what she has been missing not only in herself but to also get the eye-opener of who has been in front of her the whole time? Can Carley finally take the steps needed to fulfill her or will she give up and sink?

Joey has been more than a friend to everyone. He's like the brother, but there is that one girl who he can't seem to shake no matter how hard he has tried, but also the one he refuses to let getaway. Can Joey let her go for a little while or will he go storming in to sweep her off her feet?

A.L. Vincent is one of my favorite top 5 authors, I love how each and every book she writes brings new life to each page while raising questions of interment. Like will lucky and Duke get their own story? But all in all, I want to rate this more than 5 stars because it was well worth the wait.

This is the 1st book I've read written by A.L. Vincent; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.

Mother Nature decides to throw a curveball. Now choices need to be made, and not just professional. Now it's not just the best friend that's a choice, there's a new guy that could be lots of fun. Who to choose? Slow burn romance with believable everyday characters. You can follow your dreams without sacrificing love. Can't wait to read more by this author.
