    About this audiobook

    He’s my childhood best friend’s older brother, and he’s determined to convince me to stay in Dogwood Cove, with him, forever.

    Coming home to Dogwood Cove after eighteen years away is bittersweet. But running into Ethan Monroe has me wondering why I put it off for so long.

    He isn’t the boy I played hide and seek with as a child anymore. Now he’s the seriously hot, plaid wearing, scruff bearing, mayor of this small town. A man who can sweep me off my feet, and make me feel safe, all at the same time.

    Except I didn’t come back here looking for love. My estranged father is dead, and because of an unexpected inheritance, I find myself learning the truth of everything I lost when my mother moved us away.

    Through it all, Ethan’s right by my side. And with every day that passes, he’s helping me to see that coming back to Dogwood Cove could be the start of the life I’ve always dreamed of.

    Always and Forever is a hurt/comfort, childhood friends to lovers, steamy small town romance guaranteed to make you swoon. It’s perfect for fans of, found family friend groups, cinnamon roll heroes, light hearted banter, quirky small town vibes, low angst and high heat love stories with a guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone, and the first full length novel in the Dogwood Cove series.

      This was the first Julia Jarrett book I have listened to. It was a beautiful, emotional and steamy story. Dogwood Cove and it's characters were well described and I was quickly immersed in the town and invested in the characters. The narration of the audiobook by Heather Firth and Grayson Owens was perfection. I look forward to listening to more books in this series.

      This introduction to Dogwood Cove sucked me into a world I didn’t want to leave!

      Ethan Monroe, now the mayor of this quaint small town, is blown away when his sister’s childhood best friend comes to town. Summer Harris has always held a special place in the hearts & memories of the Monroe siblings, & her return home is both unexpected and welcome.

      After many years apart, I loved how they were able to pick up just like they’d been friends all along. True friendship doesn’t die, & I loved the way that a whole town was willing to step up to help Summer make her late father’s dreams a reality.

      But the way that Ethan went above and beyond to make sure that Summer was cared for, & watching their love for each other blossom was absolutely perfect. Even with dramatic truths being unveiled, the overall feel of the entire book just had me all warm & cozy.

      If you love small town romance, hallmark vibes, and undeniable chemistry, this intro into the world of Dogwood Cove is for you! And don’t worry, there’s lots more where this one comes from.

      Audiobook Review:
      Heather Firth & Grayson Owens' performances were
      *chef's kiss*. Their portrayal of both Summer & Ethan were on point & just drew me in.
