The year is 1949 and the Greek civil war has just ended. Prince Lysandros of Pátrai, better known as Lee to friends and family, is traveling incognito because of the death threats that he has been
receiving from extremist elements back home. Exiled by necessity, the nostalgic prince goes searching for a little piece of home and finds it in the lovely Geneviève de Villiers. Though not of Greece, nevertheless, the petite beauty's interest and knowledge in his people and language woos him over as much as her dignified composure and quiet grace.

Geneviève never quit dreaming of unearthing hidden ruins in Greece, even when she has been banned from her former digging site. She never thought that she would find her own treasure in the gorgeous dark temptation that is Lee. And when fate continues to throw the two of them together, perhaps she should start believing in the destiny and desire that gleams in her lover's eyes.

While rivals and enemies may threaten their love, will a secret revealed shatter all or will it be the key to their future together?

MY LOVE, FOREVER is a delightfully written romance of the heart with fascinating characters that will love and hate and scream out their jealousy under the witty pen of Kate Hofman. A historical romance that manages to blend the charms of the old world with the problems of the new world to bring about a tale that will help while away a lazy afternoon.

Genevieve de Villiers is an archaeologist giving a lecture about a recent dig she was on in Greece. She is upset because she won’t be allowed to be on the next team to go to Greece.

Prince Lysandros of Patrai is living in exile in France since death threats were issued on him during their civil war. He longs to be able to go back to Greece, but isn’t sure when that will be.

While visiting another city while he is in exile in France, Lee notices a lecture on some recent excavations in Greece. Being extremely homesick, he decides to attend, expecting the lecturer to be very old. Lee is pleasantly surprised to find Genevieve de Villiers is not only young but extremely beautiful. He is delightfully happy to find she is fluent in Greek. Genevieve is taken with the handsome man, but men usually don’t pay any attention to her. Besides, she is very busy handling her recently deceased father’s estate. Both Lee and Genevieve meet by accident several more times, and their passion starts to flair. When the Greek Ambassador tells Lee that the death threats against him have been lifted, Lee is very excited about the possibility of returning to Greece and wants Genevieve to accompany him. Even though the death threats have been cancelled, there are dangers the lovers encounter on the trip to Greece. Will their love be strong enough to keep them together?

My Love, Forever is a fantastic story full of deep emotions. Lee’s pain at being exiled to France was so real, I could feel his sadness. Their love for each other was so pure and fresh it was like magic. I got all teary eyed at Genevieve’s anguish on the train. Kate Hofman brilliantly brings these two together, and her character development is excellent. You don’t want to miss My Love, Forever.

A sweet story that exposes some of the little insecurities we all have about ourselves. I enjoyed watching the characters grow emotionally as they learned that some of their self-beliefs might not be totally accurate. To watch the innocence of friendship blossom into love and passion is very moving. I laughed and cried with them as they struggled to find out who they truly were as individuals and as a couple. The sub-theme of trust after telling half-truths and how to overcome lies made for interesting reading.
