Due to sexual content and language, this book is intended for readers over 18 years old.
From the moment he told her, Ava never doubted Enzo’s love for her. How could she? He spent every day of his life making sure she felt it. Through every trial, the couple has only come out stronger for it. She was confident that no matter what challenge life had in store, she and Enzo’s love would endure.
Just as Ava’s dreams for the future fall into place something happens that she never imagined. Still, she knows with Enzo by her side, happiness is always just around the corner. What Ava doesn’t know is a threat she thought was long gone is back and will stop at nothing to take everything that is precious away from her.
A love, even as strong as theirs, can only be tested so much before it breaks. Can Enzo and Ava’s love survive their toughest challenge yet? Will Enzo’s love be enough to keep Ava safe or is she better off away from the only man she’s ever loved? Will they ever get the happily ever after they deserve?
Book three is the final installment of the Sunflower Trilogy.
Jennifer Domenico writes contemporary and erotic romances. She loves alpha males with a soft spot, flawed characters, and strong, sassy women. Her characters usually have a side of kink and aren't afraid to demand what they want. The author doesn't apologize for that. She's a sucker for a happy ending as long as it comes with a lot of heat.
She lives in Phoenix, Arizona but is a Bostonian at heart. The way to her heart can be reached with a foreign accent, a shot of Fireball, and an unlimited supply of cupcakes.
She is also known under her alter ego, Jaelyn LaStoria, author of time traveling romances, because why not. The first title is Lost Within.
I was one of the ones lucky enough to win an ARC of this book. I started reading it last night and finished about half an hour ago. I don't even know where to begin with reviewing this book. I loved it that much I can't even put it into words, but I will try, without spoilers.
This book is a little different to the others as it is packed with drama and heartbreak. There were times I couldn't focus on the words because I had tears in my eyes. I felt like I was in the story witnessing all what the characters were going through. (Easily done with Jennifer's writing). Even though it was heartbreaking in places it was also so wonderfully happy in others. Enzo has become my favourite book boyfriend I've promoted him to book lover (I wish *sigh*).
I just loved this book and am a little sad Enzo and Ava's story is over. This was a beautifully written book ending a beautifully written trilogy.
I just can't wait for the book to be released so I can buy it and store on my Kindle for re-reading many, many times.
I love Jennifer's books and have read every one. She is such a talented author and her books are amazing.
In short I Loved This Book and it draws the story to a great and fitting conclusion.
“You know what I love so much about sunflowers besides how happy they look?”
“Tell me.”
“They never close up like other flowers. When it’s their time they open and bloom forever. They are strong enough to handle a storm, yet soft and beautiful.”
Enzo leans against the desk. “That description sounds very much like us—forever in bloom.”
Oh Enzo and Ava how I love you, let me count the ways!! I can say without a doubt that this book grabbed a piece of my heart and refused to return it. This story picks up right where we were left Enzo and Ava are living their Happy Ever After. But just as in life Happy Ever After sometimes has a couple bumps and bruises. This book was possibly my favorite in the series and I am going to stop here and say if you haven’t read book 1 or 2 you need to STOP, GO CLICK, and START READING!!!
“I am yours, Enzo. I always have been. I was made just for you and only you. I will be here with you until I take my last breath. You have my heart and my life. Everything I have is yours.”
Enzo is everything you dream about in a book boyfriend, actually he is more he is a book husband. He is the man you never forget, the man you never let go and the man who leaves you breathless.
“You’re staring at me again.”
“Yes, I am. I can’t take my eyes off of you.”
What I truly love about this series is this heart stopping love affair between Enzo and Ava. The grab your heart, butterflies in your stomach love. It is the love that you dream about, the love that you compare others too.
“There simply are not enough words to express my feelings for you. Love isn’t a strong enough word, but it’s the best I can do.”
I am afraid to say too much because this book has moments that can’t be spoiled. I can tell you it is the perfect ending to such a beautifully written trilogy and it is one I am sad to say goodbye to….
“Mmm, I don’t want you to leave yet,” Enzo murmurs as he kisses my cheek.
“Enzo, if you keep doing that I’m going to have to ravish you.”
He looks up and laughs heartily and it’s the best sound I’ve heard in ages. “Bella, that is hardly motivation for me to release you."
I was very very lucky to be chosen to read this book before its been released and all I can say is WoW. Forever in bloom has been written with so much emotion, I laughed and cried a lot. Ava has grown so much as a person in this book she is just adorable. Enzo however will be the love of your life, he is every women's dream however he does make his mistakes but not on purpose. The story grabs you on the first paragraph to the very end, the epilogue is just amazing and finishes the story with a lot of joy and maybe some fantasies come true. I don't want to give anything away as it will spoil such an amazing read...
Thank you Jen for bringing us this trilogy, you have definitely put blood, sweat and tears into each and every book, you have got every single character down to a T and the story was unbelievable, fantastic even, so 5 star from me, if I could give you more I would.
This was an amazing book. If I could give it 6 stars I would! The last book in the trilogy made me laugh and cry in parts. his was the best book in the series and I am sad to see it end. Great job Jen!
I got the pleasure of reading this book as an ARC by Jennifer Domenico for an honest review. I have to say, that I absolutely loved this series as well as this book. It ended perfectly! This book picks up exactly where book two leaves off with the couple and continues to show us readers how the newlyweds are living their life.
Now, I have to warn, do prepare yourselves for a little heartache in the beginning of the book. Enzo and Ava must go through their fair share of ups and downs in the book. There are times, that it seems the couple have taken on too much and just won't survive even a year of marriage but their love for one another is forever and they show us that in this story.
This was a beautiful story and ends happily. We aren't left with any questions but rather a feeling of happiness and perhaps even sadness that we will no longer be reading about Enzo and Ava. I loved how the book pulled in the title of the series and this book title into it as well. I thought it was very clever and cute. I am so happy to have had the honor to read this series and write my reviews for Jennifer! I look forward to reading more of her books and would highly recommend this series to others. I hope everyone enjoys this series as much as I did. It is definitely a fairytale!! <3
This book was absolutely amazing!! perfect ending to a great series. everyone wants a love like ana and enzo has!! truly beautiful!!! wonderful author. I recommend this series to everyone. its romance, erotic, hurt and love love love!!!
I was absolutely honored to have received an ARC in exchange for an honest review of this book. I truly fell in love with Enzo and Ava’s story from the moment we met them at the beginning of the series and as much as I loved the first book, I loved each book in this series more than the ones before. As the series progressed, their story continued to get better & better and I fell even more in love with them, especially Enzo.
Enzo and Ava have a love that every girl dreams of having; it’s the kind of love you find in fairy tales, although unlike most fairytales, their love is continually tested again and again. Yet Enzo and Ave seem to come out on the other side stronger than before.
"Because every moment of my life since I met you has been amazing. Even when the bad things happened, knowing I had you and your incredible love got me through it. You have my heart and I will do everything in my power to return the smile to your beautiful face” ~ Enzo
Turn Towards the Sun Forever in Bloom picks right up where we were left at the end of the second book with Enzo and Ava living their Happily Ever After sexy life. But right from the very first page of this book, the story pulled me in and took me on an emotional and at times heartbreaking roller coaster that truly had me crying my eyes out more than once, deliriously happy and swooning over Enzo and his undying love for Ava and then ready to throw my kindle over what they must deal with and try to overcome.
”I love you Ava. I always will no matter what the future brings.” ~ Enzo
Ava has been a strong character for me right from the moment she packed everything up and got on that plane to Phoenix. In this book with all that they must deal with, she truly shows her strength. She does have some moments of weakness, but dealing with all she was faced with, what woman or person facing that would not have those moments.
”My life is amazing because of you, and I will make sure to be more thankful about it. I love you too: you know this. IT’s almost impossible to remember what my life was like before you were in it. You are larger than life and your love is perfect for me. Thank you for loving me like you do” ~ Ava
Enzo, Enzo Enzo, WOW, like a good wine, he truly got better with time in this series. He is serious BBF material; he’s the perfect mix of hot, sexy, loving, passionate, and caring with a side of Alpha at times mixed in… oh how I would love to be his Bellissima principessa that he brings coffee and cornetti to in bed.
"I could not have imagined the happiness I feel now because of you, but I believed if there was someone out there for me, someone who would love me completely and unconditionally, I believed I would find her. And I did. She sat next to me on a plane one day and I was bewitched. The way my life has changed since you came into it is almost inexplicable. Don’t you see how amazing our love and our life are? Don’t you wake up every day and thank god for the blessings in your life? Don’t you know, Ava How much I love you?
I told you once that every morning I wake up and star at you, astounded that you belong to me. It’s still true. What I feel for you would scare you if I could find the words to explain it. The depth of my love for you is startling. Nothing, absolutely nothing, matters to me but you.” ~ Enzo
This book was truly amazing finale to the series that I absolutely loved; I would have to say it is probably my favorite of all three books. At the end of the TTTS After the Rain (Book 2), I was left in a good place with their story so I truly wondered where the author could take the story in the third book. I must say Jennifer Domenico truly did not disappoint with the final installment in this series. From the start there were those loving tender moments, the moments of drama and heartbreaking angst and those moments that had you holding out hope that for once and all Ava and Enzo must be getting their Happily Ever After. I will leave my review ending there as to truly enjoy this book like I did, going into this blind not knowing what to expect is so much better.
Like all series that we fall in love with, this was one that for me it was truly bittersweet to read the final book. This is a series that I keep coming back to, to read over and over again, it's like that movie you watch over and over again cause you love it so much yet you never tire of watching it. I am that in love with their story and I could not wait to get the final chapter of their story but now that I have, I am a little sad that their story has come to an end and there is no more Enzo and Ava to anxiously wait for.
If you have not read this series, you really need to. It is a beautiful romantic story of two people that have met by chance but truly have found that fairytale romance and a love that just keeps getting better & stronger. When you read this series, you seriously can’t help but fall more and more in love with their story.
I had the pleasure of receiving an early copy of Forever In Bloom and let me tell you that I absolutely loved the final installment to the Sunflower Trilogy. Jennifer Domenico did not disappoint with this story. I was completely hooked from the first page.
He is like the sun and good things came to me as soon as I turned to him. This story starts off where we were left off with Enzo and Ava deeply in love and planning their future . I have to tell you that you need to buckle up and get ready for one emotional ride. Jennifer literally had me sitting on the edge of my seat biting my nails. Unexpected things happen that test their love, test their commitment and test their happiness. This book was hands down my favorite book of the series. I was so consumed with it I could not put it down.
"Our love affair began there. That time was so exciting. Every time I saw you, I hoped it was going to be the time and I could finally seduce you."
"My dear, Ava, you had me seduced from the moment I laid eyes on you and the seduction continues every day."
"I need you as much as I need air. My heart beats when yours does. It always will."
The all consuming, romantic, deep, earth shattering love Enzo and Ava have for each other is one of the reasons why I have fallen in love with this series. Enzo is without a doubt one of the most romantic characters I've ever been introduced to. He is honestly right up there on my list of favourite book boyfriends. I can't tell you how much I love him, he truly is perfect. . If you haven't read the first 2 books you really need to pick them up and read them. You'll be wishing Enzo was a real person who could give your husband lessons.
"I'll hold you as long as it takes, forever if that's what you need. I live for your happiness, Ava."
" We are one, Ava. My heart beats when yours does. You have my love, my heart, and my life. Per sempre."
I won't tell you any more because you need to experience every single page for yourself. An absolute must read!
“Because every moment of my life since I met you has been amazing. Even when the bad things happened, knowing I had you and your incredible love got me through it.”
Forever In Bloom picks up right where After the Rain leaves off. Ava and Enzo are happily married and expecting a baby. Unfortunately not everyone always gets a happily ever after without a few curveballs thrown their way.
“My entire world is crashing down around me. Everything I believed in is lost.”
From the first book I absolutely loved Ava. She was real and strong but even strong women can break. We see this happen to her in this book and it is heart wrenching!
“You are an angel, Ava. A beautiful angel sent just for me.” “A broken angel, perhaps.”
Enzo is just as swoon worthy as ever and will do everything he can to make sure Ava is happy and safe. Although sometimes that means you have to lie to the woman you love.
“I know one thing for sure. I will do anything in my power to bring her happiness. Till the day I die, my every breath will be solely for this purpose.”
However lying to the woman you love can also come at a price.
“Doesn’t he understand that this isn’t about his love for me?! How I wish that love alone would solve this problem.”
This book had my emotions running wild!! I was happy, sad, angry, turned on...you get the picture! Jennifer Domenico did an amazing job with the third and final installment of the Sunflower Trilogy!! It is hands down my favorite book in the series!!
“I’m not done with you yet.” “I hope not. I hope you never are.” “Never, amore.”
What can I say, I just love Enzo, really, ok so Jennifer did not hold book in the final installment of Enzo and Ava; I felt every emotion in this book, I cried a couple of times and I wanted to jump into my Kindle and slap some people. Enzo's love for Eva is just as strong as ever but it Enzo's love enough pasts are revealed.
"You are my dreams, my aspirations. You are....You have no idea how much I love you or what I would do to protect you. I would kill for you if I have to Ava."
Eva suffers a terrible loss and with Enzo buy her side she moves forward, but trying to keep Eva from finding out a problem just might cause the end of their marriage. when Eva learns the truth and is pushed to far she has to make a choice for her sanity and for her marriage.
"My heart only beats when yours does"
I will tell you that I did not put this book down, after reading book 1 I was vested to see how their final book would end and I was not disappointed, the author delivered such and intense book for the final installment that I felt every bit of emotion as I did from Book 1, I was so happy without this series played out to the very end my only problem is that there will be no more Enzo in life, NOT because I KNOW I will end up re-reading the series again.
"I am nothing without you. There is not happiness. There is no joy. You are the person I share my dreams with; you are the only person that matters to me."
I just got done rereading this series and my thoughts today are even more than my first review of this book. I <3 Enzo :)
---------------------------- I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Let me start out by saying that I fell in love with Enzo and Ava in book one of this series. I have followed their journey and am sad to see the series come to an end.
Ava is the light in Enzo's world. But sometimes love isn't enough to keep the bad at bay.
"Ava, My love," "I love you so much. Do you understand that? Do you know I would do anything for you? All that matters right now is that we are together. You and me. We can make it through anything."
Some heartbreaking ups and downs happen in this book. We almost wonder if Love can bridge the pain brought on by events forthcoming.. then Enzo being Enzo comes back with :
" You are my inspiration. You make my life so full and rich. You are mine, Ava, and you are everything."
I do not want to say too much about this book as what I want to say would spoil too much. But just know that Enzo and Ava yah they are perfect for each other. They are in my heart forever.
Il mio amore per questa serie non conosce limiti. Si continuerà a vivere nel mio cuore. (My love for this series knows no bounds. It will live on in my heart. )
I started this book with such mixed feelings. On one hand, I was soooo excited to finally see Enzo and Ava get their happily ever after. On the other hand, I was so sad knowing that this would be it for their story!
This book had me so emotional!! I cried so many sad, heartbreaking tears as they were once again faced with difficult situations and decisions. Then I got all happy as they overcame each obstacle. Then I got all mad at certain situations and behaviors by certain people. Then I got all relieved when things got resolved. Then finally, I got all teary again as I read their happy ever after and got a glimpse into their future in the epilogue. My feelings were all over the place, which kept me hooked into the story as I HAD to know what was going to happen next.
This was a wonderful end to Enzo and Ava's love story, and I loved it! It did not disappoint - Ms. Domenico gave me drama, love, swoony moments, a bit of angst and an HEA. In my reviews of the previous two books I have mentioned that their story is like a fairy tale, this final book continued along those lines for me and the series is one I know I will definitely be re-reading over and over!
*I was graciously provided with an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
The story continues… Book 3 WOW this one started off so loaded with drama! We have one psycho, one unhappy miserable employee in Dax, and more love. A love strong enough to survive even the toughest challenge? One sort of a spoiler was when Enzo challenges Ava to spend $50,000 dollars HOLY crap. Does she do it? hhmmm That was cute and when added in between some pretty scary moments I felt it lightened the mood so well. I think the family that Enzo and Ava dream of is within reach.
There are times when both Ava and Enzo have doubts and trust issues. There is also a trust issues with Checca that got my blood boiling. The creation of their love is like a dream come true. I think if you remember from book 1 they both had their fair share of idiots, messed up relations and cheaters, so I think it is deserved.
A NEW and bold side of Enzo comes out in this one. WOW another scorching hot one! Dive in it was great! Forever in Bloom is the final installment of the Sunflower Trilogy. I think that is wrong! I think we could used a final book that covers Checca and her wedding, Cassie and her baby and more of Enzo why NOT?, no?
After much drama, Ava and Ezno finally get their happily ever after. They suffer a great loss, then are tortured by a psycho x-employee and finally after much strife it all gets resolved.
Ava really grows throughout the story as well as Enzo. The love that they have is truly a once in a life time soul-mate kinda love. Love that you and I can only wish we have, along with lots of money and great friends.
I read the first book as part of the Breathless Anthology and that led me to read the second and the third book. I am glad I did. I truly enjoyed them. In addition if you want some steam there is lots. However, I think the Ava and Ezno take too many showers and baths but whatever.
Just like the first two books in this series, WOW!!!! This book started off right where the second book left off and I couldn't put it down until I was finished. From the first page it pulled me in and I went on an emotional roller coaster with Enzo & Ava. Yes I cried, laughed and at one point wanted to throw my kindle aside because of what was happening to them but I couldn't. I needed to know the out come. Thank you Jennifer Domenico for a great series of love, hope, dreams and laughter.
Good ending, surprisingly more drama to be had in this third book than any of the others, and not all hearts and flowers. However still plenty of latter. Still though, caliber of writing, jerkiness with transitions and plot development, classify this one as just a lukewarm book. Good for when you need a pick me up and want to gag at the level of sappiness :-) Time and place for everything, lol.
I continue to love this series with all my heart . This is one of the best series i have read this year and i will continue to re read. The writing is magnificent and the storyline os purely genius. I feel so good talking about this series because I have so much confidence in the writer and so much love for this series. Read and you will find out what I am saying. Simply breathtaking read. Happy Reading!!!!
Another fantastic trilogy SADLY coming to an end. I've waited and waited and WAITED for this final book and I was not disappointed! Totally worth the wait! Oh how I will miss you Ava and Enzo! This book is definitely an emotional roller coaster so brace yourselves but so worth all of the emotions by the time you get to the epilogue.
Light read. The author captures your interest. For the main characters it was a soul deep love story. The sexual scenes at the beginning were hot and spicy but by the end very repetitive. To enjoy it, you have to like this type of reading (light, sensual with tiny bit of drama) The first one was free and I bought the other two, as I am very curious and wanted to know the end of the story.
loved Enzo. You'll remember his name reading this book. The girl however, is so needy and makes you angry at her many times. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because of Enzo and the storyline.
Another good story of Ava and Enzo love. I still love the first story. It was more of a fantasy story. But was able to finish the story. A good read it finish off there love and drama.
