Always

De: Kris Bryant

Narrado por: Melissa Sternenberg

Peri Logan’s first client is dead, but not in a morbid way. When her great-grandmother passes, her estate bequeathed Peri a piece of jewelry, a stack of cash, and a note that simply reads “find her”. As a newly licensed private investigator, Peri travels to Italy to find the mysterious woman whose photo was perfectly preserved in the heart-shaped locket. What she doesn’t expect is to be given the runaround from a beautiful stranger who offers to help and does anything but.

Camila Barnes is bored. Nothing exciting ever happens in the small town of Sequina, Italy. When a pushy American shows up demanding to meet the woman in Camila’s artwork, instead of introducing her to her great-grandmother, Camila decides to lead her on a wild goose chase all over town. Nobody messes with her family, especially people who won’t tell her why.

When the truth is finally revealed, Peri and Camilla realize they are a part of something greater than they ever expected. Attraction is fleeting, and true love touches only a few. Do they take the easy road home, or do they fight the odds and give love the chance to last for always?

Charming, romantic love stories spanning four-generations

Just get out your Kleenex, a glass of good red wine, and enjoy. I finished this delightful novel with tears in my eyes and a faint smile wondering, how did Kris Bryant do that? The remarkable main characters, two vibrant but very different 30-something lesbians and their amazing great-grandmothers, conjure two similar, yet tragically different, love stories shaped by the eras in which they lived and loved.

Beautiful

A dual love story that not only covers time, but distance. You fall in love with the characters almost instantly. The narrator was great too. I'm not good at writing reviews, just trust me a total stranger that you will not be disappointed.

Always and Forever

Opposites attract. I'd like to think that if Peri was not secretive with her "mission" that Camilla would not have led her around in a circle, but at the same time not everyone is out to hurt you. But it worked out for the better. The truth revealed was when the story became enjoyable for me. I loved the parallels between Hilde and Isabelle's great granddaughter. It's sad that they could not be together, but I had hope they'd be together in their next life. Which ironically came in the form of their descendants.
Their love is what we all aspire to have! Kris Bryant is an amazing author. She's able to capture all the emotional spectrum in one novel! We can hope to have the love like their's one day ♥️ 💕

Lovely

I expect super cheesy but was a little surprised that the story was was heartwarming.

Amazing

A beautiful love story covering over 70 years and thousands of miles. I say that even though I cried my eyes out at the end. This is a for sure don't miss!

Right in the feels

Hopeful heartbreaking and beautiful were some of the words to describe this book. I 100% enjoyed the both stories although one had me in tears it was so worth the credit. I enjoyed how Hildie's and Isibella's story was told through love letters and Isibella's memories. I also enjoyed how Peri and Carmelia start out at odds but respect each other and live out what their Great Grandmothers should have had.

Beautiful

This story was full with awesomeness! I loved it! Thank you!I would highly recommend it’s worth the money.
