From USA Today Bestselling Author, Alex Grayson, comes an emotionally captivating love story that rivals time....
Lincoln was my once in a lifetime, my destiny.
I was his happily ever after, his kismet.
I met him when I was eight, and he saved me from the bullies on the school playground.
The next day, he called me his girl.
When we were thirteen, we began to look at each other differently.
At fourteen, we shared our first kiss.
We were sixteen the first time we made love and promised we’d always be together.
The night before we graduated high-school, he asked me to marry him, and the day before we left for college, I became his wife.
Our first child came when we were just twenty-three. And our second, five years later.
Our future was forevermore written in the stars. We had that indescribable kind of love everyone searches for, but rarely ever find. A love so strong, one lifetime wouldn’t be enough.
His soul was my mate, and mine was his.
Our life was perfect. Until it wasn’t.
Fate brought us together... would it dare tear us apart?
REVIEW: 6 STARS
Having said all that, I am a wreck. It is not often I hand out a SIX STAR review, and I can probably count on one hand how many I've given. I find it's usually the super emotional ones that make me feel something beyond my normal perceived emotional limitations - an author that's gone out of a comfort zone of sorts and told the really hard story. Because, I really don't ever cry while reading a book. A few have hit me on that emotional level - I admit, but usually it's just tears - not outright, audible crying. This book had me hiccuping and crying and wiping my tears for 75% of the book. I even cried when I called my friend to tell her exactly how beautiful it was....but I cried practically the whole damn time I was reading it. You guys, this book broke me. It honestly broke me. But I loved it and couldn't walk away from it. But man, it broke me...
My poor heart.
"There's no beginning or end to our love. It's simply always existed, and it always will."
Everything has a reason for being, and you are mine. Without you, there is no me.
Every love story has a beginning.
Some are dark and painful.
Some are bright and beautiful.
And for some, fate intervenes, setting two people on the right path.
Our love has no ending. It's forevermore and everlasting.
This is our story.
Forevermore is a prequel novella to Everlast and is the beginning of Lincoln and Molly's story. Is does end on a cliffhanger.
"We might make it through this, but we'll never be whole again."
First and foremost, there is a warning at the beginning of this book specifically stating this isn't a normal romance, but it's Molly and Lincoln's love story - and so after reading it, I agree with her labeling it as a romance. It will upset many, but this was one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read and will maintain that forever and always. Well......Forevermore.

I don't think I can adequately explain how beautiful this love story of Molly and Lincoln's was. It was moving and intimate, but it was intense with a quite painful reality attached to it.
"I figured if there ever was a time to wish upon a star, now is the time."
I felt like a million possibilities were running through my head with every potential outcome while I was reading this. This was one of those stories that will irrevocably twist my heart and I will be thinking about it for a very long time. This one will sit on my shelf signed - mark my words. It will also go down as one of my favorites. I know that I will be following Alex Grayson a little more closely now because I loved her voice in this one. I always want more heartrending stories like this and she seems to have a strength in spades for heartfelt love.

The possibilities we find ourselves clinging to in our darkest, most desperate hours, while they may sound crazy, they sure seem to be a lifeline for positivity sometimes. The love between Molly and Lincoln definitely spanned generations and their thought processes were quite interesting / intriguing to look in on. I mean, what’s the real possibility of their internal speculation being probable? Plausible? It was neat to ponder, I won’t lie. And what exactly is fate? I believe Molly and Lincoln are the true definition of just that. Because, my gosh - it still hurts, but they were everything I needed in a new couple from a new-to-me author. The ability to sink into this book and ignore the outside world for the little time I get to read daily, this one filled me with all the reasons as to why I love to read. Emotional. Painful. Heartfelt. Real-life. It engaged my emotional self on every level while I read it. I’m still reeling, but I’m also smiling.
They are times I wish I met my husband when we were younger.... high school sweethearts, something along those lines. Molly and Lincoln’s life long love is exactly how our love is - just a shorter version, per se. I oftentimes compare book boyfriends to my husband because, well, he’s literally perfect in my eyes. So when I come across a love, or a man that loves his woman just as deeply (never mind the fact that an author can make me feel my love on their pages), it puts the book on a whole new emotional level for me. This one really hit me square in the jaw. My heart took a beating with this one....I’m not sure I’ll recover from it anytime soon. Gosh, my heart hurts. It physically aches. This entire story is a powerful lesson in taking life one day at a time and enjoying it to the fullest. It’s about looking for joy in every little thing you do.
I found myself questioning this: I don’t know how Grayson wrote this. I can only imagine she was curled up in the fetal position with about 40 boxes of tissues spread around her, completely used up. I’m bawling just reading it. I can’t imagine living it, breathing it, pouring it out on the pages for everyone to read - let alone write it. Talk about laying your soul bare for others to see.
This book is the written manual for the purest of true loves....and I will never be the same again.
My poor heart.

Another amazing review! I love the way you word your reviews. You gave 6 STARS!! After seeing that & reading your review, I'm definitely adding to the top of my tbr!
ReplyDeleteOK, first, I don't ever remember seeing you give anybody a 6-Star review!!! So, immediately this book caught my attention. Then I read your review an ran away for a bit, hehe...I'm a bit afraid that if you were audible crying, then I'll probably have to be picked up off the floor, more than once, and I may need a sedative, ha! That being said, you've yet to steer me wrong, so this book goes on my tbr list ASAP!
ReplyDeleteWow great reviews, Bee!!!
