"The story and the characters blew me away! Read it straight without rest that it nearly made me late for an appointment. I love Blaine's sensitivity and dedication towards Ariana. I admire Ariana's courage in facing her situation, loving herself by not settling, and basking in the support of her grandmother and her bff. Hooray for courage and true love!"

"This is such a sweet book. It has everything it takes to make me smile. And.....Adriana is such a beautiful person. This book has been good for me."

"This book came at a perfect time. I downloaded it as a friend was undergoing this same type of surgery. I knew a little of what she would be going through afterwards but I learned a lot of new things as well.This is a very difficult and emotional period in a woman's life. There are some very brave women out there!! I would definitely recommend this story. It is not a sad story but one that is uplifting, courageous, and inspiring. Too bad oncology offices around the country don't have copies laying on the tables for women to read. Great story, good job Ms. Ingram. Well done."

I have to go with 5 stars on this story. It was so good, so insightful, so perfect. so informative. I really, really enjoyed it.

The story is about a young woman, her family has a history of breast cancer so she has known it wasn't a matter of IF but a matter of WHEN. So when she is diagnosed it comes with no surprise. Highly successful as a realtor and in a very unhappy marriage she makes plans for the rest of her life. She makes changes.

She learns that a lot of women that go through this type of surgery have a tattoo to help restore their normal look. This is where the hero of this story comes in. He is the artist. It was a sweet, all consuming love story. One I might add where the two people didn't have wild frantic sex all week long. This was a love story that touches your soul. What a guy. There are strong side characters that round out the story.

This book came at a perfect time. I downloaded it as a friend was undergoing this same type of surgery. I knew a little of what she would be going through afterwards but I learned a lot of new things as well. This is a very difficult and emotional period in a woman's life. There are some very brave women out there!! I would definitely recommend this story. It is not a sad story but one that is uplifting, courageous, and inspiring. Too bad oncology offices around the country don't have copies laying on the tables for women to read. Great story, good job Ms. Ingram. Well done.

I was not paid for this review. I am not an author nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.

What a truly lovely story! A beautiful romance, and a win win for all characters. It was gratifying to see how gracious the heroine is in her decisions. I think this is as close to a 5 star book as they come!

What I didn't like : One word use issue and two typos. And in chapter 18, a reference to romance novels that made me wonder how he knows that? Does he read them?

Otherwise this is perfection! (but word incidents get dinged). I love this one SO much!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Story told with emotion and sensitivity.
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2015

A woman's cancer diagnosis leads her to transform her comfortable but unfulfilled life.

Ariana Logan appears to have it all. She's beautiful, well off, and is the majority owner of the most successful real estate firm in town. She also lost her mother and her older sister to breast cancer. So when she's diagnosed with the disease, it doesn't come as a surprise to her. It is, however, the catalyst for a complete reevaluation of her marriage and work life.

Ingram is careful to make Ariana's transformation from privileged doormat to self-directed independent woman gradual and believable. Ariana's support system...her grandmother, her best friend...play key roles in encouraging her to change and then supporting her fledgling attempts. Also believable is the rapid-fire attraction between Ariana and tattoo artist Blaine Bennett.

Blaine's love-at-first-sight reaction works because Ingram delays his and Ariana's meeting and then uses geographical separation (and a carefully plotted misunderstanding) to put the brakes on the developing relationship. This flies in the face of conventional romance fiction, where the hero and heroine are never separated for very long. It succeeds here thanks to the rich backstories Ingram provides each character. They have genuine work lives and genuine romantic pasts. This makes for more complicated characters and a richer plot.

The setting (British Columbia) provides another enjoyable dimension to the story. Ariana has a strong sensitivity to place. She appreciates the beauties of her quaint town and that is part of what makes her profession (and her success at it) seem so believable. Also, the scenes at the seaside resort where she hides away to heal and, later, reconnects with Blaine are among the best in the book.

If I have one complaint, it's how Ingram handles Blaine's interactions with certain supporting characters. There's a degree of conversation rehashing that becomes noticeable and weighs down an otherwise well-paced narrative. Also, Ariana's husband and mother-in-law come off as a bit over the top in their behavior and attitudes. Ingram adds more complexity to Jeremy by the end of the book, but his character doesn't ring as true as the others in the cast.

On the whole, FOREVER CHANGED is a well developed story told with emotion and sensitivity.

What a wonderful book this was. The author did a great job of dealing with a very sensitive subject: breast cancer. This is Ariana's story of how she deals with this painful diagnosis. At the same time she is also aware that her marriage to Jeremy is crumbling and falling apart. But in the least expected way she meets someone who turns her world around.

Blaine is a well known tattoo artist and comes across Ariana during one of his daily runs. She is sitting on a park bench and looking so sad he wants to wrap her in his arms and help her. He knows that isn't the thing to do as he doesn't even know her. He spots her another day in the same place looking the same way but still does nothing. Then one day she comes into his tattoo parlor and after a brief conversation turns and runs out. He couldn't let her leave like that and followed her to the coffee shop next door. They have coffee and chat and then he asks her why she came to his parlor. When she answered he turned white and shocked and the look on her face told him he had hurt immensely.

Throughout her ordeal Ariana developed a strength she didn't know she had. She looked closely at what her life had been and decided it was time to make some changes.. This is a very thought provoking book that will keep you turning those pages. What are you waiting for.....pick it up and read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A LOVELY STORY
Reviewed in Canada on May 11, 2021

I loved this book. It was romantic and clean without a lot of explicit sex. It also touched on something important that I feel we should have more of in the world, BREAST CANCER and treatment centers for help to recover that most women can't afford. I had an aunt who had it and was lucky enough to have a husband with a good job, so she recovered. But not many women are that lucky most aren't.

This is a story about a woman who is married and finds out she has cancer. Her marriage has been lacking for quite some time. She makes her decision to have both removed and reconstruction. Such. A tuff decision.

I felt this story touched some issues women have and go through. It’s well written.

4.0 out of 5 stars Summary for Forever Changed
Reviewed in Canada on December 29, 2020

The book was written in a way to keep your interest-- about the tatooist seeing the woman on the park bench-- and how his interest grows by seeing how discouraged she is by just her posture on the bench. Then how the author weaves and brings the two together and how the woman realizes that her marrisge is not really a marriage. I also like the idea of her beginning a foundation for women who have breast cancer-- it shows the very humitarian side of her and her concrrn for women going through what she went through. The reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 was that the story line was almost too good to be true.

This book was recommended to me by Peoplereads.com , a mailing list of free and discounted books. It's not the sort of book I would normally read but I was intrigued by the synopsis enough to want to know more. I really enjoyed it and am so glad to have read it. Only a short read, it's a gentle, inspiring and uplifting romantic love story. I think you have to be prepared to accept the concept of love at first sight, I've read many reviews where people complain that the subjects fell in love too fast to be realistic and sometimes I have to agree depending on the book, in this story I didn't have a problem with it. There's no sex, it's mentioned but not described. Most of the books I read have sex scenes, it seems to be a prerequisite in romances these days and I can't believe I'm saying this but it was actually a refreshing change. I would have given it 5 stars had it been longer and I would have preferred that the ex-husband hadn't been let off the hook so easily.
