My Thoughts 
Love Me Forever is the second in the Sherring Cross Series. I haven't read the first one, but after reading Love Me Forever I definitely want to read the first one now.  At the beginning it started a bit slow, but it started to pick up fast, and I found the interaction between Kimberly and Lachlan stimulating to say the least. There is definitely fireworks that spark between these two, at first it appears that they despise each other. After they share a embrace, sparks change between them and turns into something much stronger than either of them thought they would ever find, a true love that will last a lifetime....Definitely a beautiful written romance, filled with heat, strong characters and a love story that is thoroughly entertaining.

My Favorite Quote 
It was the kind of kiss she should have learned nothing about until she was safely married. It was the kind of kiss designed to provoke passions, and hers were ignited quickly.
