This here is the starting line for the ALWAYS UNTIL NEVER series. And yours truly, Max Redford, is bringing the smokes and whiskey to this good ol’ Texas block party. Yeah, we gonna be good ol’ neighbors for a bit, so pull up a chair.
The folks and their stories that you’re gonna find in the Wolfe Brothers series aren’t your usual most upstanding, reputable, or even nice guys — or gals. If you’re looking for sweet and wholesome romance with girls next door and savvy gents, well then . . . you’re in the wrong neighborhood.
But if y'all are into realistic folks who’ve endured hardship and keep on living by their own principles and their own family values, then you’re gonna fit right in ‘round this town. We got scars on our flesh and scars on our hearts. Our clothes ain’t designer and we always know the faces of the people at Walmart.
Some got their fake friends and their phony grins, but we’re as real as it gets and that’s alright with us.
We’ve been abused and we’ve abused —We’ve fallen and we’ve knocked down —We’ve swore to God and we’ve screamed at the Devil —The sex is whiskey-laced. Lovers’ quarrels’ end in ecstasy and four-lettered words.
We’re the folks who love our dogs, our left-handed cigarettes, and tattoos.
All our men are alphas and all our women are GRITS.
We say yes sir, and we bow our heads, and salute our men in uniform — and if that ain’t you then we’ll still serve you up some good ol’ Texas hospitality.
The Always Until Never (Volume 1 of the Wolfe Brothers Series) is a gritty, sweeping romance and family saga that deals with real life’s hardships including: alcoholism, rape, effects of child abuse and bullying, psychological instabilities, vigilantism, family unity, revenge, political corruption, condemnation, redemption and more.

Editorial Reviews

Review

I would rate it highter 5++++....Always is a must read for those who enjoy dark suspenseful romance books...If you read the book description then you're aware of the darker parts of this book, rape, domestic violence, rage, kidnapping, and murder but Lita Stone blends these real life issues IMHO with excellent writing talent and in your face reality of the damage these types of abuse can cause. Lita Stone reminds me of Kristen Ashley in the way she tackles tough "life" situations with courage, respect and honesty. (Lanette - Booklist)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lita Stone writes unapologetic romances with tactful realism. Her books deal with dark but realistic hardships, flawed but authentic characters, and most importantly, her books tell stories of love--a love that is faltering but pure.

'Sweet romances' are not in Lita's spectrum. She lives with her characters in the real world, ie.....Smalltown, USA, where the beer is cold, the whiskey is Tennessean and the sex is hot.

5 Stars Isn't Enough!

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2016

Okay to start, I'll list the things that I loved about this book. The fact that it was written so well that even though many characters were introduced early on, I was still able to keep up and follow right along was a huge plus for me. I loved how believable the characters were and how human they were with raw emotions and fears and honesty. None of that too good to be true type heroism in this book. Just raw feelings and intensity. I loved how each character had their own battles to fight, but yet it was written so well that you kept up with each characters struggle. I loved the "Always" part of the book. The name couldn't be more fitting. Family bonds that are unbreakable and will last always despite not being blood was very refreshing and heart warming. Which led me to love that Cam's family didn't give up on him even when he wanted them to and had given up on himself. I loved the relationship that Cam and Jags had with their grandfather and the level of devotion it required. I loved that it wasn't cliche and the twists weren't even a thought in the farthest part of your mind. They came somewhere out of left field and caught you completely off guard, leaving you reeling but all the more interested. I loved that it alluded to the depravity of Rane but didn't actually go into detail, so that you knew what was happening and could hate him for it, but didn't have to live through all of the gory details. I loved the "love knows no bounds" attitude that Maggie's father had towards her attackers and that he opened his heart to Cam. I loved that the rich party girl stepped up to the plate for her niece, but it wasn't fake, it was a selfless learn as you go experience for her that she didn't plan on giving up. I love that Bree became the child she thought she could never have although it happened through such tragic circumstances. In whole, I loved the relationships played through out the book, the ups and downs, and the level of emotion put into it.
Now as to what I didn't love. Upon further review there is really nothing that I didn't love. At first, I was upset about it being a cliffhanger without warning but after thinking on it for a little while I realized that wasn't correct. There were several characters and aspects introduced in this book but the main characters were Cam and Maggie, and there were two main aspects to their relationship. Their love, which was constantly challenged at every point, and the vengeance they each sought towards those responsible for her attack. In the end the author alluded to Cam and Maggie's happily ever after and while the vengeance had still not played out and Rane was still running free, it gave you a peace over knowing that Cam and Maggie would be okay, come what may. And as for the vengeance part, well I guess we just need to read the next books in the series and see how it plays out. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this all plays out in the end. My thanks to you Lita Stone, for a wonderfully written start to what appears to be an excellent series! Keep the storied coming, I love the way your mind works!

Hot Steamy Romance - Yes, Suspense - Not So Much

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2016

I started reading this book at random from the ebooks I had downloaded to my Kindle. I started this book early this morning and couldn't put it down. I kept reading until I finished it and now I want to start reading the next book in the series.

I was fascinated by the Wolfe Brothers who you meet at the beginning of the story. I was sucked in by Jags' special skills telling me this wasn't just a a straightforward romance novel. I liked Jags and Cam and Gramps and some of the female characters as well. There are some steamy sex scenes in this book which were well written.

As much as I'd like to give this book 5 stars I had a few problems with the story that caused me to lower the rating. the Wolfe brothers do act as stereotypical males who mistreat women and bed any girls they can. Towards the end of the story were are suddenly introduced to the characters of Maggie's brother, wife and daughter. And we find out that Maggie has a mother but she's not mentioned until near the end.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and plan on reading the next books in the series..

SPOILERS

Soap opera city. Broken suicidal celibate hero. Heroine who is also broken but promiscuous She chases. He runs. After a brief struggle he gives in. They do the deed and immediately after he tells her that he loves her. She runs. His brother intervenes. They initially resist each other. Give in and do it. He says that he loves her again. She runs. Both are heartbroken. They are apart for months for no good reason. Weird cra cra stuff happens including rapes and murder. HFN ending. Needs further editing.

Despite the problems with the story discussed above, i rate it 3 stars because it was similar to how I react to a good soap opera. I could not help myself. I kept reading.

Two strong personalities that can fight yet are a true yin and yang!!!!

I learned about this book from Good Reads with the free offers. This one sounded interesting and I was having to wait for another book. Now I want the rest!!!!!!

It did not take me long to be hooked and having difficulty putting the book down. When I did I could not stop thinking about it and back into my hands it would go. Needless to say sleep was interrupted. Now I already have issues with sleep but this just made passing the time a bit easier and gave me a good excuse....YAY a twofer!!!

But seriously, rape is a serious crime and one that is difficult for a woman to overcome. The worst I hear is "she was asking for it," or "she was saying no but her eyes said yes." I will never understand why society puts the victim on trial. As I read through the book and learned more about Maggie I understood her actions. She was trying to find a way to cope. When you are made to feel like a slut then you might as well be one....right?" Lita Stone did an amazing job portraying this emotion in Maggie's character and even the melt down to the point she could not hide in that manner again. It was only making her feel worse.

I am looking forward to reading the rest of these books. Thank you Lita Stone for sharing your talent with us.

A Touch of This. A Touch of That!

A group of antiheroes come together to learn how to trust, love, and accept. All while a serial killer stalks in the shadows and waits until it’s time to get retribution for past sins. The relationships formed will ultimately create the bonds necessary to survive in the small Texas town.

Lita Stone creates characters you love and hate at the same time. The multiple POV’s help you feel their sorrows, fears, pain, and stupidity. She lures you into the craziness of their lives, but makes you desire the peace they all ultimately seek.

Always is the first novel in the linked series of the Wolfe Brothers. It is a romantic thriller, with a pinch of paranormal.

The desire to continue reading the story is overwhelming. Always leaves you wanting to know more. I recommend continuing all the way through book 4 of the Wolfe Brothers series. It’s worth it!

A nice read but some the characters not so much.

Growing up in Texas MANY years ago I knew some like Cam, didn't care for them then and still don't. But the book is well written and nicely paced. There is a bit of violence and a few steamy parts, definitely not PG. All in all despite my feelings toward the main character I did enjoy the read.

Too much going on

Reviewed in Canada on August 15, 2018

The ideas in the story had merit but then were smashed together like a pile of clean and dirty laundry. Random things would happen and kind of blindside the reader. There didnt seem to be much progress made and when it did happen it happened all at once and was anti-climactic. Honestly I read a lot of rubbish books, but this was pretty bad.

"Sweet & Tender Romance? Anything but!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 29, 2016

There's very little romance in the traditional sense to be found here. There doesn't appear to be a non-brutal relationship, except between the men and their Gramps anywhere in sight. The writing, characters and settings are all okay though; so if you want to lose yourself in a book for a few hours go ahead. Maybe it will be a world you can identify with. Perhaps I'm out of touch with the real world? If so, I'll be eternally grateful.
