Wonderfully written small town romance. I thoroughly enjoyed the second installment of the Trillium Bay series. The characters are well written and the story is unique.

This was my fist by this author. I really enjoyed it! It seemed to have a little bit of everything. The story was funny, romantic, and sexy with some mystery, danger and quirky characters thrown in for good measure.
Ms. Brogan had me from the very beginning when Brooke, who was wearing her sister's clothes and shoes to her first meeting as mayor, manages to flip her high heel into a pile of horse manure. The hero, sexy Leo comes up behind her and says something like, "Need some help, Cinderella?". Yep, I was hooked! Totally loved it!
I obtained this book from Netgalley. All thoughts are my own!

My Kind of Forever is another fantastic read about the Callaghan sisters. This time, newly elected Mayor Brooke Callaghan gets her story. She's the oldest out of the three girls, and she's lived in Wenniway Island her entire life. So, in the romance department, she doesn't have a lot of option.

But before she worries about her lack of romance in her life, she wants to focus on her new job. Brooke faces plenty of challenges as the newly elected Mayor of Wenniway. She has to deal with the older generation who doesn't want change, drama within the council and the funny antics of the citizens there!

Leo Walker is a new bartender on Wenniway Island. He's a bit mysterious and handsome and Brooke has taken noticed. Leo too has taken noticed of the beautiful and flustered Mayor! As these two strike up a friendship, feelings start to move forward, but knowing that Leo is only in town temporarily, has Brooke hesitant.

My Kind of Forever is a sweet read that has plenty of humor from the towns people of Wenniway Island and a little bit of mystery! Can we please get the younger sister's story next? There's so much there, and I"m dying to know if her current relationship will work or not!

I love returning to Trillium Bay and this was no exception. Brooke is the new mayor and has a lot to prove to this little quaint town. Leo has arrived in town temporarily under false pretenses but can not deny the chemistry between him and Brooke. The only problem is Leo does not do forever. Soon long held secrets come out in regards to a jewel thief living on their small island, that Brooke deals with the help of postmaster, Shari. Now the reason of Leo on the island, comes out and will Brooke be able to forgive him.

Loved this story, had me laughing out loud many times. Wonderful characters with great dialogue. Love the quirky residents of this town. This book is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. I highly recommend.

I'm a huge fan of Tracy Brogan's books unfortunately this one not so much. It's a sweet chick lit story that is just a little too cute and silly for my taste. Of course the writing is exceptional with well developed characters but I found the pace of the story slow with several parts too drawn out. Overall not a bad book but not one I really enjoyed.

I had read the first book in the Trillium Bay series, so knew a little about the background of the family and the town.
Brooke seems to be pitchforked into taking up a position as Mayor of the small town, without really knowing what she is doing, She is surrounded by somewhat odd characters who all have their own agendas (such as bats). As her father is the town Sh.eriff she has to answer to him in many ways.
Leo arrives on the scene, handsome, charismatic, but I think we suspect from the beginning that all is not as it seems. The romance is going nowhere. Brooke feels he has let her down badly, lied to her even.
A jewel thief, an iinvestigator, a good friend, are all part of the story.
Does it end happily? With a little help from her father and friends.........maybe., It's a gentle tale, nicely written and I enjoyed reading it. Thanks to NetGalley for a review copy.

A cute story about a school teacher that becomes the youngest mayor in her small island town. The cast of characters that surround her are hysterical. I had A few laugh out loud moments. Falling in love while becoming mayor isn’t easy. Add I. Some island lore and you have a very enjoyable book.

Juggling her new job as mayor, the town gossips, her sisters and grandma's love life, and being thirty-six and single is more than what a girl can stand. Brooke is at the crossroads where the decisions she makes now will define the rest of her life.

This book is both endearing and full of all those quirky characters that make life fun. This island is a world upon itself. Traversing the complications that come with knowing everyone's business, and having your own business exposed, makes for a wonderful plotline. Things around town become even more interesting with the advent of strangers: the new bartender, a private investigator searching for a jewel thief, and a mysterious beautiful woman that has men dropping their jaws to the ground. As a mayor, Brooke has to dig deep in her fortitude to withstand all these changes to her town. Remember, she is the mayor and has to protect her people (and herself)!

Love the sense of adventure in Brooke. This is a clean and safe read with enough detail to have you swooning. Fans of Marie Force and her Gansett Island series will love reading this series.

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the publisher for sharing a copy with me.

I received a free, advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Brooke just can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to life and love. Leo has arrived in Trillium Bay during the off season but is really on the up-and-up? There’s a rumor going around town about a jewel thief being on the island- but how does Leo fit in this equation.

This book had some romance and chick lit feel. I personally think that the people of Trillium Bay need to find something to do besides drinking. (There was A LOT of alcohol consumed within the pages of this book. This consumption also led to Brooke’s biggest mistake of opening her heart to Leo. Will he ever be able to redeem himself???

A huge thanks to NetGalley & Tracy Brogan for an advanced copy of this novel. In true Brogan fashion, I laughed (out loud), cried and went through the whole emotional gamut I was not disappointed with this latest installment of the Trillium Bay series. Ms. Brogan is always a pleasure to spend the afternoon with, she is one of my favorite authors. Looking forward to whatever adventure is on the way for me to devour.

My Kind of Forever is a humor filled read with a slow-burn romance from author Tracy Brogan. I read and loved her Highland Surrender novel, but this story didn't spark the same kind of joy that small town romances usually do for me.

I had a hard time taking Brooke seriously. She ran for Mayor without any idea how to be a mayor and with no plan in case she actually won the position. That was just too far-fetched for me to just go with it. The overall story felt like a disjointed array of scenes to invoke laughter, a little mystery, and romance but to me none of it pulled the story together. I found myself skipping forward and skimming past the idle scenes because I didn't connect with the characters and there wasn't anything about Brooke's story that made me want to slow down and savor every detail.

I would most likely pass on reading another Trillium Bay novel, but I would definitely check out some of her other works. My Kind of Forever is a story that would appeal to readers of Rachel Van Dyken or Sara Rider.

A good story with an island full of quirky characters. I especially loved Gigi. Brooke is the newly elected mayor and the old mayor stepped down instead of waiting. Now she is in charge before she is quite ready. On her way to her first town council, she loses a shoe and meets a great looking guy. When she next encounters him, he is the new bartender. He is only on the island temporarily, but she can't help but wish he would be permanent. Leo takes the job as a bartender to get information, but he really is attracted to Brooke. Will he be able to keep her once Brooke finds out his real reason for being there? Will he want to stay?

This is part of a series and it is actually the third one, when I agreed to read this I did not know that but I didn't feel lost. Anyhoo we meet Brooke and she has been part of this small town for a long time, her family has been there for decades. She has been made mayor and she really has her work cut out for her trying to bring this town up to date or in this century. Here comes a new comer interested in her and due to her bad experiences and her woe is me attitude she is reluctant. We have some mystery thrown in, some humor and eventually some happiness. It was a little slower than I normally like, but I still enjoyed...

A cute small town romance with loveable characters. It's a good read for an easy day. Romance readers will enjoy this one.

My Kind of Forever is wonderfully romantic, heartwarming, book, filled with charm and humor! As always when I read one of the author’s books, I find myself chuckling throughout, and sighing as well! There is a bit of a mystery in this book, exposing long-held secrets! The characters and dialogue are impeccable; aside from the delightful main characters, the rest of the inhabitants bring their own quirky and fun personalities to the story.

Who is Leo and why is he on Wenniway Island? And what's this about a jewel thief? Brooke is the newly elected mayor and she's got a big job modernizing things. She's also got a history of bad relationships. You know, don't you, that when she meets Leo cute that things are going to heat up (not a lot but enough to keep you reading). Will there be a HEA? My one quibble with this was Brooke's negativity about herself; she's 36 and she won an election so she should push back her shoulders and buy herself new clothes. Thanks to net galley for the ARC.

If you like quirky, small-town romances, you’ll really enjoy this novel about a fictional Northern Michigan island community. Think of Mackinaw Island with a slightly bigger population, but the same laws banning cars. The place is just full of oddball characters and sort-of presiding over the craziness is newly elected mayor, Brooke Callaghan. Brooke is single, not because she wants to be but because there is a very small dating pool in this small community. But there is a new hunky, handsome, and charming bartender in town, Leo Walker. And he is definitely interested in romancing Brooke. The only problem is that he’s temporary.

Brooke and Leo are fun and anyone in her mid-30s who has had trouble finding potential dating prospects can relate to Brooke’s loneliness and the appeal of a fling with an appealing guy even if there is no hope of forever. Or is there?

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

This is a sweet story about Brooke Callaghan, a teacher and lifelong resident of Trillium Bay, who now finds herself as the new mayor; and Leo Walker, a new to town bartender/writer, who has certainly caught Brooke's eye. Sparks fly when these two meet but Leo is not permanent and Brooke doesn't really want a quick fling. Can she let herself have what she wants despite the end date she knows they have?
When it turns out Leo may have been less than honest about his reasons for being there, Brooke is rightfully angry with him. Can they find a way to overcome his betrayal and pick up where they left off?
This small island town is full of quirky people that will surely make you laugh or at the very least shake your head. They are certainly an interesting bunch. Look forward to more from this series.

This is the second book in the Trillium Bay series but can be read as a standalone. Brooke Callahan is the new mayor of Trillium Bay and determined to make positive changes. Leo is a new transplant to the small town but he is waiting on a few job offers elsewhere so his time in Trillium Bay is short. Because of this Brooke is hesitant to start anything with him despite their chemistry. Can they make a fling work or will someone get hurt? This book was a fun and entertaining light read with a bit of a mystery. This story is a bit predictable in spots but overall a really good read. 4 stars.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me a copy of this ebook via NetGallery. All thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

Loved this book and couldn’t put it down! I am a big fan of Tracy Brogan and can’t wait for another book in the series.
