Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Lincoln was my once in a lifetime, my destiny.<\/p>\n

I was his happily\u00a0ever<\/span>\u00a0after, his kismet.<\/p>\n

I met him when I was eight, and he saved me from the bullies on the school playground.<\/p>\n

The next day, he called me his girl.<\/p>\n

When we were thirteen, we began to look at each other differently.<\/p>\n

At fourteen, we shared our first kiss.<\/p>\n

We were sixteen the first time we made love and promised we\u2019d always be together.<\/p>\n

The night before we graduated high-school, he asked me to marry him, and the day before we left\u00a0for<\/span>\u00a0college, I became his wife.<\/p>\n

Our first child came when we were just twenty-three. And our second, five years later.<\/p>\n

Our future was\u00a0forevermore<\/span>\u00a0written in the stars. We had that indescribable kind of love everyone searches\u00a0for<\/span>, but rarely\u00a0ever<\/span>\u00a0find. A love so strong, one lifetime wouldn\u2019t be enough.<\/p>\n

His soul was my mate, and mine was his.<\/p>\n

Our life was perfect. Until it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Fate brought us together\u2026 would it dare tear us apart?<\/p>\n

Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

5 emotionally stunning stars<\/b><\/p>\n

This book. I can\u2019t even find the words. It\u2019s an epic, epic love story that is heartwrenchingly emotional and that literally left me a blubbering mess. It\u2019s emotionally brutal, and I sobbed and ugly cried my way through it. I\u2019ve just finished it and am feeling hungover in all the ways, but OMG, what a story!<\/p>\n

Before you read this book, make sure you have read Forevermore<\/a> \u2013 the prequel novella that introduced us to Lincoln and Molly as children, followed them into first love and sets the scene for their epic love story.<\/p>\n

This book begins a few years after Forevermore<\/i> finished off. Lincoln and Molly are married, happy, and blissfully in love. Their connection is incredible, and they are true soulmates in every way. But they\u2019re about to be faced with a challenge like never before, and it\u2019s going to change everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could be with you in every lifetime there\u2019s ever been, and I\u2019d still want more. There\u2019s no beginning or end to our love. It\u2019s simply always existed, and it always will.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OMG, this love story is everything<\/i>. Lincoln and Molly are each other\u2019s whole worlds. Their love is beautiful, unshakable and the kind of forever-love that people dream about. They are truly each other\u2019s second halves, and I loved seeing how openly and honestly they cherish everything that is between them.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve always been my soul mate … God made my soul to perfectly match yours.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Lincoln! OMG, the man is romantic perfection. Sweet, sexy, swoony and completely devoted, the man owns my heart.<\/p>\n

Being completely honest here, had I known what this book was about before I started it, I wouldn\u2019t have even picked it up. As much as I love Alex Grayson as a writer, this just isn\u2019t the kind of book that I would choose to read. There was even a point when I was partway through the book and realised what was happening that I thought about not continuing. But by that point I was too invested so I bravely continued on. And I\u2019m so glad that I did\u2026 reading until 2am this morning, and then I was awake at 6.30am to finish it off. I couldn\u2019t put it down.<\/p>\n

It hurt in the worst way, but the theme of all-consuming, everlasting love, is so beautiful, that you can\u2019t help but love this story and its bittersweet ending. I feel like I journeyed with these characters, I felt absolutely everything along with them, and I\u2019m glad that I experienced the epicness of this romance. It\u2019s a love story that will stay with me for a very long time.<\/p>\n

Beautifully written \u2013 5 stars.<\/p>\n
