Raphael "Rafe" Rodriguez is part of a ranching family
consisting of 4 brothers and 1 sister. Rafe's mother is
deceased and his father, Miguel Sr., is the backbone of
the family. All siblings are part owner of the ranch in the
small Texas town of Forever. Rescuing a strange woman from
a charging bull in his field is the beginning of his
acquaintance with Valentine "Val" Jones. Val is scouting
locations for a romantic comedy movie in which her ex-
actress mother is now a successful casting director. Val
finds the ranch and small town perfect for filming the movie
for Sinclair Productions.
More than a movie is transpiring over the 6 plus weeks of
filming. Rafe and Val are drawn towards each other in more
than a friendly way. Being a widow who lost the love of her
life early in the marriage, Val keeps grounded from
entertaining any involvement with another man. Almost
unable to live with her loss, the last thing she can
possibly do now is take a chance on a love that could be her
final blow if she were to lose once again. On Valentine's
Day and at the closing party for the production, Val and
Rafe are unable to deny engaging in hot sex and showing
their
denied love. After allowing the unthinkable to happen, Val
has second thoughts and can't risk exposing her heart at the
fear of losing again and asks Rafe to leave. Fearing his
heart is broken, Rafe stands to lose what his siblings have
fallen prey to. If only there was a way to understand Val
turning away from him and to convince her they are truly
meant for each other forever.
I have read many of Marie Ferrarella's books and loved
this one just as much as the others. She has a genuine
knack for keeping the reader interested and involved in the
characters and their emotional feelings. I anxiously await
her next release in September. If you love romantic
suspense tales full of emotion and love, don't miss the
creations of this author! HIS FOREVER VALENTINE is
definitely a "good
feeling" book of new found love and forever after.
Rafe Rodriguez never reckoned on playing hero to a
beautiful, big-city stranger. But when he saves Valentine
Jones from a charging bull, this Rodriguez brother's fate is
all but sealed. The Hollywood photographer is on location in
Forever to scout out an authentic dude ranch. And nothing
could feel more real—or right—than the fiery feelings Val's
awakening in Rafe. And he knows just how their real-life
romance should end!
Haunted by tragedy, Val knows life isn't like the movies.
Still, a girl could get used to having a sexy protector like
Rafe around. The Texas rancher is wreaking havoc with her
credo of never settling in one place. Is Val headed for
heartbreak again? Or has she finally found a place to belong
with this cowboy who's starting to make her believe in
forever
