I've had some personal experience with what the characters go through so it kind of hit a spot for me. I will say this book brought tears to my eyes. And if they had the strength to overcome the tragedy and still have something between them. But I was interested to see how the characters chose to deal with it.

And I kind of predicted the outcome, as well. It's one I predicted fairly early on, but that didn't make me want to put the book down. Nick and Stephanie meet a very big stepping stone that I will not get into here, because I know how much people hate spoilers. The mysterious man who makes you hot, who doesn't love that? Of course it helps that he just oozes sex appeal. And it's not something Nick is used to, so he pretty much has a hard time with how to react to it. Stephanie breaks through these layers bit by bit. For me he was a bit of the funny man, but had this closed off nature that made me want to peel back his layers and see what was beneath. He was always just kind of in the background. Now, from previous books we really didn't get to know Nick too well. She's kind of a sad lost sole that needed to find someone to help her through to the other side. And how she has great loss in her life that she can never get over. I got to know why she chose to keep herself shielded from love. Despite her standoffish nature in the previous books, she really opened up to me in this book. Or for even being in the room when she shouldn't have! But there's always a special story behind the characters that piss you off the most, right? So I was interested to see where JLA would take her story. I was mad at her for flirting with Cam when Avery was around. So, I wasn't really a fan of Stephanie when I first met her. So, of course, this book is no different. And I love how Armentrout always introduces something new to her stories that gets you hooked. I love the characters and the situations. I read everything she writes (and she writes A LOT). Receiving this book for free has in no way influenced my opinion or review.Īs many of you probably know, I love JLA. I want to thank Avon for providing me with a copy of this book to read and give an honest review.

Armentout tackles a tough issue with style!

Forever with you jennifer l armentrout
