When I finished reading Forever My Girl, I wasn't a huge fan of Nick. Sure, he was nice enough and all he wanted to do was keep the little boy he had raised and the girl he had loved together as a family, but I just didn't feel like I needed to read anything more about him after he left. Reading My Everything just proved how wrong I was.

Nick Ashford moved to Africa to start a new life and mourn the one that he had lost. Instead of healing alone, he meets and falls in love with Aubrey. My pet peeve in movies and books is when characters meet once and all of the sudden they're in love. Because this was such a short novel, I was afraid that the relationship portion would be rushed and would feel forced but it didn't come across that way at all. Heidi has a great gift in making every emotion in her characters feel genuine and authentic. She's not just telling you a story, she's painting a picture and letting you feel along with the characters.

I enjoyed every bit of this book and wished it would have been longer because I didn't want it to end. Hopefully we'll see more of Nick and Aubrey in the next Beaumount Series book. Until then, I'll be anxiously waiting for more beautiful words from Heidi McLaughlin.
