Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0\u201cI\u2019d walk through hell and back if it meant the rest of the life with you.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4 \u2018Happily Ever After\u2019 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I loved this novella. Essentially an epilogue to Fighting to Forgive<\/a>, this book takes us right back to ex-manwhore and now dedicated family man, Blake, his very pregnant fianc\u00e9e, Layla, and their fight for their happy ever after.<\/p>\n

Blake and Layla both had a lot of personal issues to overcome in order to be together, and this book sees the demons from their pasts resurfacing to threaten their newfound happiness. They are issues that were raised in their book and though they were dealt with, there wasn\u2019t complete resolution, and that is what this book provides \u2013 without unnecessary angst and drama in their relationship, which I loved! Blake and Layla are together and committed, and though they are both going through some pretty heavy emotional issues, they never let it impact on their relationship and they are still crazy in love and stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re my true love. My first and only true love, Blake\u201d
\nHe brings my hand to his lips and slides soft kisses against my skin.
\n\u201cFirst\u2026and last.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This book is a story of two people finally dealing with the past in order to move forward, and it\u2019s really beautifully done. It\u2019s super-hot, emotional and so freaking swoony, and I loved the opportunity to catch up with this couple as they embrace the HEA that they so desperately deserve.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmazing how quick life can change. There are periods where we soar and some where we plummet, but as long as we hold fast to what matters, fight for the things that count, we die happy knowing we did our best to battle for what matters most.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a bonus, I absolutely loved getting to know Blake\u2019s brother, Braeden better. He is freaking hilarious and so intriguing! I can\u2019t wait for his book.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this novella \u2013 a must-read for fans of the series!<\/p>\n

4 stars.<\/p>\n
