This is the last book in the Forever trilogy about Ellery and Connor Black.

Likes:

• Lots of sexy time!

• I enjoyed how Conner and Ellery were learning about each other and growing as a couple.

• Julia!

• "Mysterious guy"...even if it was easy to figure out!

• Connor ending up at Club S...I like how it brought things full circle.

• Collin...that was a nice touch.

• The epilogue.

Dislikes:

• Lots of sexy time...it was a bit of an overkill!

• I enjoyed how Conner and Ellery were learning about each other and growing as a couple but...they seemed to make the same mistake over and over.

• All the 'contrived' dramas...it was never ending!


Overall:

I think it's a good book that wraps up the series nicely. I probably would've liked it more if the dramas focused more on them learning and dealing with becoming a family.

Favorite quotes:

♥ “Is that so? What if I don’t want you to make love to me?”

“Ellery Rose Black! I better never hear those words come from your mouth.”

♥ “You’re the light in my life and when you’re not around, my world is dark. I will never do anything to jeopardize our relationship again. I make this promise to you, Ellery Black, that from this day forward, I will never keep anything from you. You have my word, baby. I promise forever.”

♥ “I’m so in love with you, and I need you. I need you every day. You’re my strength and my light and, without you, I’m nothing.”

♥ "You’re my infinity, Mr. Black.”

I turned to her and smiled as I traced her lips with my finger before brushing mine against them. “Forever us, baby. It’ll always be forever us.”

This book is a story about marriage life. It highlight some issues such as trust, communication, parenthood and commitment. I like how Miss Lynn describing those issued for Connor and Ellery. I think Miss Lynn is telling us that HEA needs work.

I feel the sex scenes is too much and not necessary. I feel like the author wants to build the tension and steamy sex is to make this book more appealing. But I think Miss Lynn can investing more creating more dramatic on the story instead of the sex scenes.

And for that I am bit disappointed with this book.

I thought this book was magnificent. What a way to finish a series/trilogy. We truly got to see how Conner and Ellery's life turned out. I have loved both of these characters since the beginning. Conner and Ellery were just such strong characters. Yes they both had jealousy and trust issues at times but as a couple you could just feel the love and connection between them. I thought this book was great, not only did we get to see how Conner and Ellery end up the author created some new twists and drama to keep us turning the page. Plus she also gave us an ending to the Ashlyn storyline. I was happy to see how that worked out. We also got to see an emotional side to the characters when something happens to someone very close to both of them.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of the author or has read the other two books in this trilogy. You really don't want to miss this book. It totally brings Conner and Ellery's story full circle. It also sets up for the next novella that is being released in December....Being Julia. I excited to read about her story and see more of Mr. and Mrs. Black.

This is my favorite book of the series. We get to see Connor in a whole new light. ..as the loving husband and father. But will old habbits die hard.....will he still keep things from Ellery......and will she still ignore his request and do what she wants...no matter the cost. And will an encounter in an elevator change things for Ellery forever.
Read and see if their love is strong enough to get them through.

Nothing too entertaining. A lot of normal everyday stuff up until about 75% of the book so it kind of dragged. Why read something ordinary that happens to all of us. I read a book to get get lost in someone else's story that is not ordinary. Having a baby? Taking care of the baby? Eating at a restaurant? Why do I want to read about all of that and it was a big part of the book. Anyway, it started to pick up with some sort of drama at about 75% but I was already really bored by then.

An amazing ending of an amazing series. I have to say that I almost cried in the subway while readig the last chapter and the epilogue. It was hard to keep my tears at bay and all the way through those chapters had a huge lump in my throat.
Can't wait for Being Julia (Forever Trilogy, #3.5) by Sandi Lynn and I just know that I'll cry my eyes off then.

I loved this last book of the forever trilogy ! There is a feeling of being complete reading Connor and Ellery continuing their life with a new baby and tackling life's challenges along with their life changing event! It was great to feel how much they loved one another and got through so much ! Connor and Ellery made me laugh so many times in this book as the first book made me cry more than laugh. I also loved Denny as he was such a great father figure and hilarious at times ! Wait until you hit the scene of the hotel with the party where it was so intense that I was basically screaming and my blood pressure must have risen as I was so anxious and tense! All that kept coming out of my mouth was NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!! OMG..OMG...!!!!! The author have such a surprise and she did an excellent job in that scene ! I almost collapsed finishing that scene in relief! The author played that scene so well!!! I hated to see their story ending and loved every bit of it!!! They complete and love each other forever!

Ok, I dropped another book to read this, that's how much I wanted to read about Ellery and Connor. Thank God Ellery kept her sass, smart mouth and Witt, love a fierce chick and she delivered. Connor you are unbelievable, still love you to pieces. The heart attack at 59% into the book was a massive OMFG moment, I nearly threw my iPad - great twist/writing. My only criticism is that it wasn't long enough - less than 5 hours, I wanted longer. Loved the epilogue - beautiful HEA. Well done Sandi.

I just couldn't with this one. The first two were undeniably amazing & i read within hours of receiving them. I was so excited for this one. I preordered and everything. But as I was reading I just felt something lacking. I almost DNF at 20% , thats how uninterested I was in it. It lacked a serious storyline and I was severely disappointed. There were parts I could read continually but then others I found myself skipping parts/ pages to get on with it. I felt like every 10 minutes they were mad at each other for 5 sentences and then making up in the next two or they were talking about how much they wanted to make love to one another. I felt as though I was reading the same thing over and over.

The mysterious texts Ellery got didn't impress me and it was so quick to the point I was just like what the hell is going on?

2.5 stars for the audio
This series started out strong for me, but each additional entry was a little less engaging.
The male narrator's version of female voices/accents finally got to me. Really grating to my ear.
The story had a lot of filler and not too much action. I felt like there was a lot of repetition of lessons already learned, but apparently now forgotten and then a rehash of the issue.
There was a flurry of excitement in the end, but it was just too little, too late.
All in all, I did enjoy the series and this one would have been better read than listened to.

Questo non è un libro, sembra più un manuale per neo genitori.
Scopriamo tutto sul travaglio, sulle poppate, la dentizione....


Ma sul serio?
Una noia mortale!
Ma cosa aveva in mente la cara Sandi quando ha scritto questa roba qui sfugge alla mia comprensione.

Poi forse per spezzare un po' dal solito tran tran fatto dagli strilli di Julia, pause per il sesso, litigate random, la Lynn ci butta dentro la psicopatica Ashlyn e la storia del processo.
Vediamo un po' quanto dura...
Ah sì, tipo un paio di capitoli, condanna e tanti cari saluti.

Allora buttiamoci un altro tizio che perde la testa per Ellery, la calamita delle sfighe, ma quando dura?
Un capitolo...

Dramma inutilissimo per Denny... ma niente anche lui si salva in 10 righe e vissero tutti felici e contenti.

Stendiamo un velo pietoso sui due protagonisti: è tutto ti amo qui, ti amo lì, scopiamo dai, mi ecciti sì, sei uno stronzo, ma volevo proteggerti, già quindi ti amo, e bla bla bla...

Per me questo libro è un grande e gigantesco

Oh wow. Where to start. Well if you love theses stories as much as I do then you know how hard it is to find the exact words to portray the feelings you feel when you read them. I will stay the first story I cried, yes I did I cried like a baby. That one ripped my heart out. The next well I cried a little but nothing like the first but these stories twist you up in knots but and getting you so wound up. It's exhilarating and consuming. Connor Black is just so mmm....mmm.mmmm...lickable.

I have waited for this story after the cliffhanger from the last and I ore ordered and waited until late so I could begin my adventure and it was so worth it. It was worth the wait, the anxiety and the sleep deprevation. Ellery and Connor or just a force to be reckoned with. They clash, because they both are so hard headed but it's so addicting to read about the two. You can feel the love they have for one another it overpowers everything. Even their arguments have you all tripped up because you know that Connor is going to make it up to her and it's going to be hot!

I've always loved the characters in these stories they are so well written and such big parts in the lives of Connor and Ellery.


I must say when Ellery was in labor I was so nervous. I could feel the nervous energy that Conor was feeling and I wanted to wrap my arms around him all the while I wanted to hold Ellery's hand.

What amazing parents they both are, it was just heart melting to watch them both interact with Julia. There were parts where you once again felt the angst, and nervousness settle in and I will say at one part the author had me. I was like wth, what's going on no way can this happen that's just not Ellery and when I finally got to the bottom of it I was thinking well played and laughed.

The entires story was awesome. You get to once again enjoy the lives if Mr. And Mrs. Black. We get to go on the journey of parenthood and marriage, the good moments the bad and the sad.

The author did an amazing job and I loved the ending. My heart is full and happy.

Kudos on another amazing book!!!!!

Forever Us es el tercer libro de la trilogía Forever Black de Sandi Lynn, el libro comienza justamente en donde termina Forever You, cosa que me ha parecido genial.

En este libro continua la historia de amor entre Connor y Ellery, pero ahora con un nuevo miembro de la familia, Julia, me ha encantado ver a estos personajes en su papel de padres, como son y como experimentan esta nueva aventura.

Es un complemento a la historia que empezó en Forever Black y es increíble leerla, esta narrada por los dos personajes Connor y Ellery. Las cosas que pasan son geniales y para nada lo que se lee en los demás libros, cosas como te dejo me voy, o que se pelean a cada rato.

Los problemas que tiene los personajes, como Ahslyn o lo nuevo que fue como el drama nuevo que le agrego la autora, lo de Phil ha sido perfecto, aunque creo que la manera en la que se resolvió el problema con la chica, ah sido demasiado rápido y era mas la angustia de lo que vivieron los personajes de lo que se tardo ella en resolver todo.

Los dramas del final del libro fueron buenos y fue agradable leerlos, aunque lo que no me gusto y lo que hizo que le bajara estrellas ah sido la manera en la que la autora escribió el desenlace de manera precipitada, la parte final del libro que no me gusto tanto, por que fue una transición de tener a Connor joven a tenerlo ya mayor y que los hijos por que de manera rápida sale Collin (Ellery embarazada y teniendo a Collin) ya sean grandes y se estén casando, no me gusto. Por lo de antes ha sido genial, aunque la verdad es que creo que este libro ya te da spoilers de las novelas de Julia y Collin, creo que eso tampoco me ha gustado.

Recomendable: si la Familia Black te gusto, no puedes dejar de leer este libro, aunque la verdad si te aconsejaría que te saltaras la ultima parte para conocer después los detalles en Being Julia y Collin libros que aun no he leído pero que si voy a leer, me gusta como escribe la autora, no se complica y hace las cosas con buen drama.

I want to first Thank Sandi Lynn for giving me the chance to read her books as ARC's, I have loved Sandi since the first chapter of Forever Black. and I am SO SO SO sad to see the end of the forever us series. but if we have to say goodbye to characters that we love no one writes them a better goodbye than Sandi!

Ellery and Connor are marries, figuring out how to live their lives with a new baby in their lives, while working, loving, painting, and trying to still be them a the couple that we love. and lets not forget about the Crazy EX's that are coming back to haunt Connor and Ellery as well.

without giving to much away, if you are a Forever series reader you are going to love this book, there is the same romance, love, characters, and of course Connor doing stupid things that he shouldn't be doing and Ellery calling him out on it. But with that said, I am really excited for the upcoming release of Forever us, and excited to see what more Sandi is going to give us in Being Julia, Connor and Ellery's daughter.

I will be adding to this review once the book is released!

It's official, Connor Black went from one of the best book boyfriends to one of the best book husbands & fathers!!
I admire how he loves and cares so deeply for Ellery!! <3

Reading Forever Us was very entertaining! It was nice to see what happens after the HEA as our book couple adjusts to married life & parenthood. They had their share of "common everyday life" problems and some that was "uniquely Connor & Ellery". Overall, their love for each other pulled them through each time and hopefully, they've learned to choose their battles!
Can't wait to see how they fare in Being Julia! Poor Connor, I have a feeling his daughter is going to be the cause of some gray hairs!! LOL.

I give it 4-4.5 stars and enjoyed the trilogy very much! : )

Where do I even begin... I took my time thinking of how I wanted to write this review, I wanted to really get through and make sure everyone knew what an amazing, breathtaking, heartfelt not only this book was but the whole Trilogy has been. From book one to this one book 3 in brings you in, wraps you up and you enter into the world of Connor and Ellery. With this last book, Sandi has outdone herself. I was caught speechless, hanging on, laughing, hoping, crying, cheering and then finally devoted to this book, these Characters and everything the author has brought in this Trilogy throughout it all. Please if you have not started book 1 or you have and your on to the last one or two, continue...... Enjoy and get captivated like all of us for Connor and Ellery

Connor was truly the star of this series!
What a perfect husband. Everything this man does is for his wife and family. Not only is he sweet, protective, sexy and kind, he's also the perfect dad and family man. Way to go, pulling my heartstrings!

I enjoyed seeing Ellery and Connor settling in, growing as a family with the addition of Julia and making those sacrifices for the betterment of the family. Connor cancelled meetings, change diapers, took turn feeding and taking care of Julia. This little girl is the apple of his eye!

How adorable is Julia! I wished she was in more of the story, I'm a softie and love seeing how kids and babies interact.

Overall, if you're a fan of the Forever Black and Forever You, you'll love Forever Us . More Connor, Ellery and the rest of the gang! : )

This book is a story about E & C's marriage life, and journey to parenthood. It highlights some issues such as communication, commitment, and trust. There's a HEA, and a pretty good epilogue.

I thought the book was a bit boring. A lot of normal everyday crap until about 75% of the book.

This was a beautiful ending to a fantastic story, They really went through a lot of drama, but loive came thrtpugh it all.

They were so good together, and so bad. Their friends were brilliant, always there when they were needed. Denny was such a sweetie, it was really sad when he got ill. but was really happy when he started on the roads to recovery.

Their love was just as passionate all the way through, and Connor didn't always do the right things, he made some big mistakes kept secrets almost causing him bigger problems. I loved how they came together and made up after their fights.

Mason was a perfect mannie, absolutely loved Julia, he seemed such a natural with her. I was thrilled when he moved to NYC.

The trial took its toll on them both, unfortunately keeping things away from each other, for as much as they loved each other, they really went hard at hurting each other with lies and secrets, I was team Ellery all the way, Ashlyn deserved all she got,

Then Ellery is being stalked, horrible words! and Connor doesn't. disappoint he let's his temper win over causing more problems. They eventually get that sorted put, but Connor tackles it wrong again, causing him the biggest nightmare, he did his usual coping mechanism and drank himself silly, it was a sweet union and i was really pleased they made up,

I loved the epilogue! perfect ending! so sweet Julia had her daddy wrapped around her finger, and how perfect when another little baby made its appearance.

The final part was beautiful, really summed the story up.

“We’ve been through a lot over the years, but we made it, and we’ll continue to make it. Do you know why?” she asked.
“Why?”

“Because infinity is forever, and that’s what you are to me. You’re my infinity, Mr. Black.”
I turned to her and smiled as I traced her lips with my finger before brushing mine against them. “Forever us, baby. It’ll always be forever us.”


The perfect ending to one of my favorite series. It felt so great to witness how Connor and Ellery became parents. I knew that there would still be drama. Ellery was still the strong and independent woman she is from the beginning and Connor is still the over protective and controlling man he is.

This story not only showed how Ellery and Connor surpassed all their challenges in being parents, it also showed that they are surrounded by loving friends and family. I love how Henri, Peyton, Denny, Dana, Mason and Landon became a big part of their lives. Not to mention the fact that they gave so much help in being there for Julia.

There was this part of the book that I absolutely loved. Connor and Ellery never stopped loving each other no matter what happened and they always find a way to make up for lost time. The way they make love didn't differ from the moment they met and I absolutely admire that.

The epilogue was great! I can't wait to read about Julia's novella. I hope we get a sneak at Collin and Hailey's love story as well.

10 INFINITY STARS!!!

"Forever us baby, It'll always be forever us…"

 photo large-2_zpse8bc841f.jpg
The conclusion we've been all waiting for! The Black family sure knows how to make my heart swell!

Marriage add with newborn is very difficult to handle and Connor and Ellery showed us how to keep their family and friends be safe and loved. There are new challenges that they need to pass and together they will fight for those who will always makes them apart. I love how amazing parents they are. It truly melts my heart. I wish someday I could have a husband like Connor Black, who will always be there to keep you safe. I'm so sad to read this ending because I will miss them. All those struggles and the sufferings they need to endure is all worth the fight! They've been through hell and worse but still they keep each other stronger.

It feels surreal to realize there will no more Connor Black who always made me cry since the first book. His love and devotion for his wife and kids are so amazing! Such a great man he is!

10 FOREVER STARS! - I will never forget this series for the rest of my life.

3.5 Stars!



I enjoyed reading Ellery and Connor’s story from the first of the series to Connor’s POV on the 2nd series. And now the continuation of their life together, as married couple and with a baby!

Both characters has grown a lot in this book… though Ellery is still very stubborn… and Connor is Connor, protective, loving, and bossy.

Reading about them dealing with early marriage and parenthood was sweet! Though at times, just too much. Besides those, there is a lot going on in this book.. it never seems to end… After the Ashlyn thing then comes another. Just a little bit of an overkill for me.



But there’s that nice surprise too… where Ellery had this rendezvous with the “elevator man”. Intriguing isn't it?



There is drama, some suspense, cute humour and a lot of romance, a lot!

It is written in both Connor and Ellery’s POV. And now I can honestly say that…

"I'm so in love with you, and I need you. I need you everyday. You're my strength and my light and, without you, I'm nothing."

Well Sandi Lynn made me love Connor Black even more. Didn't think it was possible but she worked her magic and some how figured out a potion that made me love him more.
That isn't to say Connor and Ellery were without faults because these two can drive you crazy at times. If they kept one more secret from each other I thought I was going to lose my shit. But the making up was just so good. I absolutely loved how Ellery kept Connor on his toes, she was strong and fierce and stood her ground.
Connor, well Connor is just yummy a bit pigheaded but I loved him!!

This was such a lovely ending to the Forever Trilogy.

I am really looking forward to more from Sandi.

Im out words on how to describe how freaking amazing the finale to the forever trilogy! It has little bit of everything and the author make sure that you feel the emotions that the characters are feeling, you will laugh, cry, some of the scenes will excite you, some will make your heart jump and most of all you feel the love. What i love about this book is the pacing it was not that fast nor slow, we get to see the adjustment that couples go through in the early stage of their married life and how to balance your time. The story also focuses in the importance of family, on having good friends and as a couple you should always be honest with each other. One more thing, the author got me in one of the scenes, it was well played. I've read a lot of series and only a few of them got the ending right but this one the author nailed iti! I couldn't ask for more, it was perfect.
