Blog Tour: Monica Murphy's "You Promised Me Forever (Forever Yours #1)."

The Hopeless Romantics Book Blog are pleased to be part of the Blog Tour for Monica Murphy's "You Promised Me Forever (Forever Yours #1)."


Synopsis: 

I’ve got it all, they say. I’m the starting quarterback for the best NFL team in the league. I’m rich. I’m famous. I can have any woman I want, any time I want.

Yeah, I’ve got everything—except for the one who got away. How do you move on from loving the same girl since you were in the seventh grade? She promised me forever until forever got too hard and at nineteen, she dumped me.

By text message.

Now she’s walked back into my life. Just as beautiful. Just as sweet. Just as smart. More grown up and incredibly sexy…

We’re older now. Supposedly wiser. This time, I’m going to fight for what I want, no matter how hard it gets.

This time, I’m going to make her mine.

Forever. 

Review: Jo 

I loved everything about this book. I was so happy with all that happened between Jordan and Amanda and I am so pleased that Monica Murphy decided to give us more from this adorable couple. If you have been following Tuttle and Mandy's romance, don't miss out on the start of this brand new series. It's a must! It also can be read as a standalone, however I recommend reading the "Friends" series first to experience the early days of the relationship. 

"We didn't know what we had until we didn't have it any longer." 

When I first discovered that Monica was writing a new story involving Jordan and Amanda, I was equal parts excited and apprehensive. I have always been team Tuttle so I couldn't wait to catch up with one of my favourite couples, but I was also nervous about seeing Tuttle heartbroken after the pairs relationship didn't quite have the HEA I'd imagined. Turns out that my concern was short lived as this novel was all about second chance love and Jordan and Amanda finally grabbing the fairytale ending that I so desperately wanted for them. 

"You didn't lose me. You never really did."

This novel really didn't disappoint. It was the perfect combination of swoon-worthy romance and scorching hot sex as Jordan and Amanda made up for lost time. This pair were insatiable and I just loved how Tuttle wore his heart on his sleeve from the very beginning. There was no way he was going to let Mandy go second time around. I also loved seeing the beginnings of Cannon and Susanna's new relationship. I have a feeling that theirs is going to be a fun story, which I'm hoping will be played out in the next instalment. 

"I love you, Mandy. I will always love you. Till the end of fucking time." 

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this book. It was everything that I had hoped for and it gets ❤️❤️❤️❤️  from me.


Excerpt:

Jordan

Of course, I’m not going to shake Amanda’s hand.

Instead I grab hold of it, that unmistakable jolt of electricity sparking when our skin connects, just like every other time we’ve touched. I pull her to me and wrap her up in my arms because I can. I’m the one who offered up the tickets so I could…what? Show off? Let her know exactly how great my life is?

I can’t lie. My life is pretty damn great. I have everything I could ever want—except for one thing.

“Hi Jordan,” she breathes against my neck, and I swear she melts into me a little. Like she can’t help herself. Like we somehow still fit together even after all these years.

Either she got smaller or I grew bigger since the last time I touched her, and I’m guessing it’s the latter. She smells familiar, yet different. Better. I recognize the scent of her shampoo, but nothing else. Her hair is longer. Thick. Dark and wavy, up in a ponytail and a little disheveled, like she’s had a long day. Her body is curvier, something teenaged Amanda would’ve never believed could happen. She still has those sexy long legs, though.

Finally, she pulls away from me, her lips curled, her eyes sparkling, nervousness written all over her face, and I watch her carefully in return, my expression as neutral as I can make it. Honestly, I’m still a little pissed over that garbage game we just played, and I’m tense like I usually am after. Her understanding gaze meets mine and I know she knows what I’m feeling. We’ve always been in tune with each other…

She’s my Mandy, all grown up. But not my Mandy anymore.
