Product Description

A sexy NFL star reunites with his lost love and finds a family he never knew existed in this exciting new contemporary African American romance.

Brynne Armstrong, a counsellor at a Detroit women's centre, returned to Detroit after an abrupt break-up with her boyfriend Devin Prescott, star NFL quarterback. For the past four years her life has revolved around work and her 3-year-old daughter Shanna, but that changes when Devin suddenly reappears.

Devin is shocked to run into Brynne at a party. His old pain returns as he remembers how Brynne left him without any explanation. But he finally gets his explanation, or at least part of it, when Brynne tells him she left because she was pregnant. What she doesn't tell him is that she became pregnant after being raped, and doesn't know if the baby is Devin's or her attacker's. She has never tried to find out Shanna's father's identity out of fear that it would be the attacker, but now she must know the truth and asks Devin to take a paternity test. They discover that he is the father. Not knowing about her attack, he's furious and hurt that she was cheating on him, and that he missed the first years of his daughter's life. As he spends time with Shanna he feels confused about Brynne. He still loves her but thinks he can't trust her. Brynne also still loves him, but she's never told anyone about her attack. She is afraid of what he will think, or if he'll even believe her. But they know they want to be a family, and that will mean taking risks and learning to trust each other again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great love story by Bette Ford., March 20, 2005

This review is from: Everlasting Love, An (Mass Market Paperback)

Here we experience the story of Devin Prescott, who we first got a glimpse of in Bette Ford's "Unforgettable", and Brynne. They fell quickly and deeply in love a few years before the setting of this story. After a minor argument, Brynne runs away and Devin never hears from her again, leaving him extremely hurt and confused. Devin's pride got in his way of seeking her out, while a tragic secret has kept Brynne away from anything associated with her painful past, including Devin. After being dragged to a party by a friend, Brynne unexpectedly comes face to face with Devin and her past. As secrets unfold, Brynne and Devine must decide if their brief but intense love affair will be rekindled.

Getting a chance to catch up with character's from Ford's previous novel including Anna and Gavin Mathis and all the lovable characters in the Prescott family was a like a long overdue family reunion. Completely apart from the riches, theirs is a family many would long to have. Only minor issues with the book kept me from giving it five stars. This includes the author's repetitive use of some phrases - for example I thought if I read about Devin clenching his jaw as if he was grinding his teeth once more I would scream - and also the fact the book gets rather slow in parts and then climaxes to an end that felt a bit rushed. All in all, I'm a big Bette Ford fan and am pleased with her continuation of the Prescott saga. I look forward to her next installment and would highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a satisfying romantic read.

Also if you haven't read the story of Anna Prescott and Gavin Mathis in "Unforgettable" I'd recommend that as a very pleasant read as well.

This was a wonderful book linking us again to the Prescott family. You got me with "Unforgettable" I could not put it down. The same holds true with "An Everlasting Love" Being a true romantic i fell inlove with Devin. He was the kind of man every woman would love to have. He was a sweetheart in this book. I really enjoyed the way the story was written, bringing true love back together again. Truly this was a everlasting love. Where are they and how do you get a Prescott man!!!!! Looking forward to the next book. Can't wait to see who will owns Ralph's heart. I am hoping it will be Vanessa. Keep up the good work!

This review is from: Everlasting Love, An (Mass Market Paperback)

I had to stop and write a few words about the newest Bette Ford Book. As a huge fan I must say that I was not dissapointed and it was well worth the wait for this book- she has done a wonderful job again. An everlasting love is the story of Brynn and Devin who find their way back together after being passionately in love some years back. After Brynn has run away from Devin with a devastating secret she must now face the music and talk to Devin about some sensitive things from her past. Without giving the premise of the story away, Ford tackles some serious subject matter in a skillful way and reunites these lovers as they so deserve. Ford shows a forgiving, sensitive, and upstanding man in Devin and she also shows a woman of substance, strength, and a survivor in Brynne-together they create an everlasting love that will make you want to fall in love all over again.
