ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 13, 2025

Twenty years. One unforgettable flame. Some love stories never burn out.

I never wanted fame.
All I ever needed was her.

Stevie Hayes set my world on fire from the moment we met.
First kiss. First love. First time. The girl next door who became my whole future.

Late-night rehearsals. Promises whispered in the dark. A fire so intense it felt eternal.
She believed in me when no one else did.
Then life pulled us apart.

Different paths. Different cities. A slow unraveling I never saw coming.
I thought letting her go would set her free.
Instead, it broke us.

Years later, tragedy brings us back together.
Older now. Scarred. Still burning for something we never stopped wanting.
Old wounds resurface. Hard truths come to light.

The spark? It never left.
We were never supposed to fall apart.
Now I’ll fight like hell to put us back together.

REVIEW: The next installment in the Charming Irish series; Forever Flame is a fast paced, second chance romance. As always, I recommend reading a series in order to get the most out of it, but this book can be read as a stand alone in an interconnected series.

In Forever Flame we get Padraig and Stevie’s story, and what a story it was. These two have history together, when we first start their story we start in the present and throughout the book we get flashbacks to when they dated in high school. As each other’s first loves, they thought they would be together forever, but sometimes you find the right person at the wrong time. Padraig goes on to live his life in fame, but Stevie has her own dreams she wants to fulfill and goes on to do just that. Though they stay somewhat in each other’s lives due to the connections of their families, they aren’t together. But Stevie has always been Pad’s one, and that has never changed. When fate gives them a second chance, Pad grabs it with both hands.

Stevie and Padraig were just a joy to read, both have such drive for family, but stand out as individuals as well. Both have dreams and goals, and nothing would stop them from reaching them. I have to say, Liam played such a big role in their relationship and I wasn’t sure how their reconnection was going to affect that. Overall the plot and storyline was engaging and easy to keep up with, having characters from previous books drop in was a nice addition and the spice was just enough to carry the characters to the next level. Stevie and Padraig were a fun read and I look forward to seeing what comes next from this author.
