Kade:
For the first thirty years of his life, Kade Thompson knew exactly who he was and where his life in Australia was going. He made tough choices he thought his family needed—even if it meant leaving behind the one woman who had his heart.

A phone call changes everything. His American biological parents and family have tracked him down—so, who are the people who raised him? Who is he?

The Barringtons mourned for him when they thought he was dead—now they are swooping in to rescue him. From what?

When everything Kade thought he knew about himself comes into question, he turns to the one person who has always been there for him—Annie. Part of him always knew he’d come home to her, but has too much time gone by for her to give him another chance?

Annie:
Independence and success hadn’t always been her dream. At twenty, she imagined a much different path for herself—one that included Kade Thompson and a fairy-tale happily ever after with him. Painfully in love, she waited for him to wake up and realize how perfect they were for each other. She never lost faith in him. Even after he left, she was confident he would come back to her.

He never did.

So, she picked herself up, dusted her dreams off, and made a good life for herself without him. Until he walks into her parents’ pub and says he needs her. He’s not looking for a wife or a lover—so sleeping with him is definitely not a good idea. He’s reeling from the changes in his life and needs the friendship they’ve always shared, but she needs more than to be a comfort to him.

Annie has finally moved on. She’s found happiness without him.

Can she be there for him and not lose herself again?

He’s not Kade Thompson.

He’s not Kent Barrington.

He’s somewhere between the two, trying to figure himself out.

How could they possibly find their forever now?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ruth Cardello hit the New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers Lists for the first time back in 2012. Millions of her sales are evidence that her books are akin to potato chips, addictive from the first one. She has created a multi-series billionaire world with a combination of escapism and realism that has gained her a faithful following of readers.

What Kindle Reviewers write about her:

"Wow, hot at every page. Heart-stopping, fear raging, mind-blowing wonderful."

"I'm a true fan of Ms. Cardello. I ran on to her first book a few years back and have been hooked ever since. I could go on and on about the story like of this book, but I'm not. All of her books are total page turners, unique, heart-wrenching, and I love them all. There aren't two alike in the bunch and I feel like I know the characters personally. I personally read 97 authors' books. And I buy every book they put out. This author is in my top 10. Great job and keep them coming."

"Love this series. Got me to start reading again. I look forward to the next book. Thank you for giving me the love of reading back."

Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.

She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm or connecting with her readers online.

Ruth Cardello can sure weave a story! Kade/Kent the twin everyone believed that had died at birth didn't. Sadie always knew he didn't, she remembers holding him, but everyone thought she was delusional. The finding of Kent/Kade's story is totally plausible and written in such a way that you can believe it all really happened.
When the Barrington clan descends to Kade's hometown in Austrailia he has no idea what to think. His whole life was not what he thought it was. While his best friend Penny helps him navigate his nightmare, he realizes that she has always been the one and is determined that she know it.
A great addition to the Barrington saga. A must read story.

Forever Now did not disappoint! Finding an abducted infant thirty years later halfway across the world - alive AND well - is a miracle that could only happen in a romance book. Ruth Cardello managed to do it in a way that held the readers' attention. Kade/Kent is his own man, and Annie is her own woman. BTW, who doesn't remember their elementary school crush ( when the opposite sex were considered "cooties' carriers")? This series is what Good Trouble is to The Fosters; a case where the spin-off matches and then surpasses the original! Great job, Ruth Cardello.

4.25 Lovely, Satisfying Stars

I pre-ordered this book because I love the whole Barrington Billionaire series, and could barely wait to read Kent/Kade's story. However, when the book downloaded I waited a day...and was so glad I did. I saved it to read on a long, tedious flight from Dallas, TX to Tucson, AZ via LAX (yes, the airlines' "hub" thing is so frustrating when you live in a small market like Tucson) because I knew Ms. Cardello would whisk me away to the world she creates, and that's exactly what happened.

FOREVER NOW whiled away the hours, and I finished it with a satisfied smile shortly before we landed in Tucson.

Kade Thompson (aka Kent Barrington) is an appealing, down-to-earth hero who's not impressed when he finds himself an unexpected heir to billions. He's also completely devoted to and protective of his "real" parents, (i.e., the ones who raised him), and I loved that about him.

As much as I loved Kade/Kent, however, I loved the heroine, Annie, even more. She has always loved Kade, but when he left town after college a few years ago to build up his father's business (without realizing he's in love with her), she didn't wait around, sitting like Patience on a monument, smiling at grief. She built her own business from the ground up and created a life for herself. Not perfect, because her love for Kade is a grief she still carries inside, but it's a worthwhile life of purpose.

When Kade and Annie finally do connect, it's a revelation for Kade but he still doesn't quite get it until Annie slams the door shut on their physical relationship in an effort to protect herself from what appears to be a self-destructive pattern. I wanted to shake him at times, but then he finally saw the light. Convincing Annie, however, wasn't a sure thing. How he managed to do that was so sweet.

I was reading this book in public, and therefore had to severely restrain myself from crying a couple of times (okay, there were sniffles but definitely no tears!) One of those moments was when his birth mother met him for the second time in his life (the first time she'd held him right after he was born, and she was always firmly convinced that had really happened and wasn't a figment of her imagination, even though her husband didn't believe her). Another was when his birth father apologized to Kade for not believing his wife that Kent (aka Kade) hadn't died at birth.

As always, characters from previous books made an appearance in this one, which helped set the stage. I particularly loved Kenzi (Kent's twin sister), who has always been a favorite of mine, alone with her husband, Dax Marshall.

All in all a completely satisfying read and well worth the wait. Next up...Ian Barrington's story, and you may be sure I'll be waiting by the pre-order button!

What a saga/story these six books have been. I have laughed and had tears plopping onto my Kindle during the many hours of reading it. This series has been fantastic and real. While I was reading the books all of it ran like I was a witness to it all through my mind's eyes. There is an abundance of love, sibling rivalry, comic relief and glimpses into lives that had needs regardless of their pockets or lack of it. Well done.

Forever Now (The Barrington Billionaires Book 6)
by Ruth Cardello

For the first thirty years of his life, Kade Thompson knew exactly who he was and where his life in Australia was going. He made tough choices he thought his family needed—even if it meant leaving behind the one woman who had his heart.

Independence and success hadn’t always been Annie Martin’s dream. At twenty, she imagined a much different path for herself—one that included Kade Thompson and a fairy-tale happily ever after with him. Painfully in love, she waited for him to wake up and realize how perfect they were for each other.

Kade’s story, highly anticipated, did not disappoint. It brought closure to this fan who waited with bated breath for a family to find peace amidst the chaos that jealousy wrought—jealousy brought about by one of their own.

Kade’s and Annie’s path towards finding their happily ever after was disrupted by the discovery that Kade Thompson was the long lost son of Sophie and Dale Barrington. Kade’s search for his true identity, and where he belongs, also prevented him to see that his childhood friend, Annie, was all he needed to face the uncertainty of his future. It was only when he realized that he could not live without her, that he realized that Annie was his home.

Ruth Cardello delivered perfection, as she always does. She made me feel like I was right there with the Barringtons, experiencing their highs and lows, and sharing in their joys and sorrows. I can honestly say that theirs is a story I would never want to end.

This is book 6 of the Barrington series and if you haven’t already read the previous books I strongly recommend that you do before continuing. This review will contain a huge spoiler from the underlying storyline that have been running alongside the individual stories in all the previous 5 books. Although not as important, I would also suggest that you start right back at the beginning with The Legacy Collection and then The Andrade’s because this series neatly and cleverly intertwines with them both. There is a huge bigger picture to this whole complicated family and seriously, it’s best to start at the start.

Spoilers… ok… if you haven’t read all the previous books there’s no way to properly review this book without revealing the outcome of a major plot line… so if you haven’t read them…. Stop now!

Kent Barrington… the long believed stillborn twin brother of Kenzi and seventh Barrington sibling not only wasn’t stillborn… he’s not even dead!

It’s taken 30 years to discover the diabolical truth of what happened in that clinic in Aruba… and it practically tore the Barrington family apart. Bereaved Parent, Sophie had always believed her son hadn’t died at birth but no one understood. She was grieving for so long that her family had always been encouraged to walk on egg shells and not upset her. Now Kent has been found, The Barrington’s need that closure… and to find out if their long lost brother wants to be part of their family.

Kade Thompson had no idea that he was adopted, let alone that he was part of a huge conspiracy and abduction plot that had already caused the deaths of anyone involved. Everyone except the woman who took him to safety and raised him as their own.

Kade is so lost. Everything he’s ever known about himself is suddenly a lie and he doesn’t know how to react to the news that the people he’d known as his parents, weren’t his blood relatives at all.

In true Barrington style, the family converge on his life in Bright, Australia. En masse that all ascend to ‘welcome’ their brother into the family but it’s not all plain sailing (well of course it isn’t - this is the Barrington brothers).

The problem is Kade loves the life he has made for himself. He loves Pamela and David. They are his family. He doesn’t know how he feels about becoming a Barrington. How will this affect the life he’s come to know?

Arriving back in the small village where he grew up he seeks out the support of his old best friend, Annie. They were inseparable as teenagers until Kade left to further his fathers outback tour business away from Bright.

As that 21 year old, Annie was devastated. She’d lost the man she dreamed of one day marrying because she never told him how she felt. They’d never taken their friendship further, even though Annie’s feeling for Kade ran much deeper. Now he’s back and he’s hurting, Annie does the only thing a good friend can in times of need. She helps Kade to connect with his new found family.

To everyone around them, they are so obviously meant to be together but even though their relationship becomes more physical, Annie still doubts that Kade sees her as ‘forever’ material. That fear (and some rather poor advice from her friend Claire), she pushes Kade away. (stupid girl!). She’s scared that once he reconnects with his family, Kade will once again leave her. Better to rip the band aid off quickly than prolong the inevitability, right? Errrr, no!

When Kade struggles with Annie’s rebuttal, he turns to both his new family and his lifelong family for help to win her back. He needs to show her he wants her… not just for now… but ‘forever’. In true Andrade/Barrington style, it’s time for the grand gesture phase to finally tell the woman he loves that forever is what he wants.

Sweet and touching story of a lost man who’s life has been turned upside down. As usual, this whole situation could have been avoided if they just talked to each other… but where’s the fun in that, huh?

I love Dylan and Connor! They are absolutely hilarious! And Kade! Well, he’s everything a Barrington in love should be.

With only one Barrington brother left to find their true love… will the hard headed stubbornly arrogant Ian let down his walls and allow someone into heart? I guess the next instalment will help find out if he even has a heart at all.

This is book six of Ruth Cardello's Barrington Billionaire Series which also coincides with her sister Jeannette Winters and niece Danielle Stewart's books of the same name and all the books link in with each other.

Talk about finding long lost relations

Meet the conflicted Kade Thompson.

For as long as his the first thirty years on this earth, the handsome Kade Thompson thought that he knew exactly who he was and that his life in Australia was going fantastically. Kade had promised himself that he had always made the toughest choices, as he genuinely thought that his family ever needed.

Suddenly Kade receives an interesting but conflicting phone call that completely changes his life and turns his world upside down.

Kade now needs to find out who he truly is?

The Barrington's had always mourned for him as they always believed he had died — now here they are swooping in on him to rescue him and bring him home to his biological family.

Kade turns to his best friend Annie for support, However Annie has always loved Kade so how will she adapt to being apart of the mad world of the Barrington's. Kade has always felt something for Annie deep down inside but has never realised it until he sees how happy his biological siblings are with their families.

Can Kade get along with his biological family and still remain close with his other family? Can Annie and Kade work things out or will it end in heartbreak?

There should be an option for more than 5 stars as i would definitely give more but have to settle for 5
