Dearest Readers~

Gloria's Forever will finally be available at all retailers on Friday, March 20, 2015. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patience, love, and support. I had intended to bring you this book last February, but I just couldn't wrap my head around the epilogue. And then my THAT MAN series totally consumed me. Once that was done, I decided it was time to finish Gloria's Forever before it became Gloria's Never. Out of the blue, the epilogue came to me, and I'm thrilled how it turned out. The truth, I think the delay in getting you this book was meant to be. Had I released it last year, it truly wouldn't have been as good as I think it is now.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it and that the story of Gloria and Jaime will stay in your heart forever.

MWAH!~Nelle

[Katherine 黄爱芬 · Rating 2 out of 5]

The last trilogy of Gloria ini tidak memuaskan saya. Justru mengecewakan saya. Banyak unsur yg tidak saya suka dari buku ini.

Pertama, bagian-bagian chapter dr buku ini sebagian besar pengulangan dari cerita di buku #1 & #2. Kecuali dramatisasi saat Gloria melahirkan, bagi saya tidak ada hal baru lainnya. Termasuk adegan-adegan sex sudah hambar di buku ini, tidak ada hal baru dan menggugah minat saya.

Kedua, saya merasa adegan saat Gloria melahirkan di tepi jalan itu sangat lebay. Konyol. Lebih konyol lagi saat Gloria koma sesudahnya dgn adegan reuni super ridiculous dgn Madame Paulette & suaminya serta Payton, ayah Jaime. Saya bukan type pembaca yg tergerak hatinya dgn bumbu adegan dramatis sinetron macam ini.

Ketiga, saya heran author selalu menyelipkan tokoh celebrity terkenal di buku seri ini. Buku pertama, author menampilkan Rihanna, buku kedua dgn menyuguhkan Oprah Winfrey. Dan buku ketiga ini, dimunculkan Beyonce & Jay Z. Saya tidak tahu apakah lazim dan boleh di USA mencatut nama selebriti tenar sbg cameo di bukunya, atau haruskah minta izin terlebih dulu?

Keempat, saya perhatikan bbrp adegan ada flashback yg annoying, terutama saat Gloria mengenang adegan fucking bersama Jaime. Saya kadang bingung dan ketawa geli bersamaan, koq bisa ya pasangan ini selalu dan selalu memorable dan menjurus ke hal ituuuuu mulu? Bahkan saat melahirkan juga membayangkan foreplay seru mereka saat honeymoon supaya relax. OMG!!!!

Gloria's Forever #2.5 - Nelle L'Amour

It's so bloody AMAZING!!!!! I'm so lucky to be part of Nelle's Beta Team...
This is the conclusion of Gloria Long & Jaime Zanders that we all dream to have & want to have! :)
It's perfect and so much more than I ever expected to get about this AMAZING couple that I absolutley love to bits! It's a dual POV's as we always get from Nelle... But in this one we have a surprise POV.... mmmm shall I tell you?? Actually I think I will keep it a surprise for you all!
As always it's a beautifully well written story you did there Nelle.... honestly my heart was beating so GODDAMN fast then skipped a beat!! *Gasps* totally forgiven you Nelle! MWAH xo

- This review is for the entire series -
This is your typical sexy businessman book except, it has a sexy and powerfull woman too. Jaime is a man that doesn't take no for an answer so when he wants to have Gloria as a client, he does everything he can (and more). Gloria is the strong CEO of Gloria's Secret and finds the release she needs in Jaime’s arms (or should I say hands?).

“Yeah, you inspire me.”
“What else do I do to you?”
“You make me hard."

When I started reading this series I was expecting some BDSM eroticism (I mean, look at that cover), although there's none. There's just a lot of erotic and sexy moments, which was great for me because I don’t like the heavy stuff.

“…I meant what I said. I want to own all of you. Every breath, every heartbeat, every surface of your body, and every bit of what’s inside you.”
His words”

Being a woman I really liked the way the author described all the underwear and powerful outfits that Gloria wore. I liked the third book (Gloria’s Forever) because is that part in a relationship where everything is fine and love is in the air, until Gloria goes into labor and shit hits the fan. That was really one of the scary moments when you can, one more time, witness Jaime’s love for Gloria.

This series is a total must read, trust me, you will not regret it.

Exceptional and Breathtaking conclusion to Gloria's story. This was such a thrilling and beautiful story from beginning to end. Gloria and Jamie completely take over your thoughts and your heart. This couple will forever hold a special place in my heart. Their phenomenal chemistry is incredibly addicting you literally can't put the book down. This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride but it will be so worth it. The dual POV gives you an insight into both characters thoughts and allows you to see and feel everything through their minds which only melts your heart even more. I'm extremely sad that Gloria's story has come to an end but looking forward to what Nelle has in stored for us in the future. I highly recommend this book and its entire series!!!

[Cathy Guadagnino dotson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been following Nelle L'Amour for just about a year now. I have had the opportunity become friends with this amazing talented beautiful woman. She has given us so many sexy alpha males. From Blake Burns ( he melts my panties) to Zander ( I need to change my panties).

Gloria's stories are amazing. Nelle brings them to life in her writting. When I read this book,I felt Zander and Gloria's love and pain. Their love story is classic and priceless. We all need a Zander.

Nelle I am so proud to call you my friend. I am glad we have crossed paths because honestly I would be lost without your amazing writting and all that you have done for your #1 pimpette.

5 stars for my friend. I look forward to reading more MWAh

Gloria's Forever ♾️💍 Book 3

We're finally finding that happily ever after for Jamie and Gloria. Jamie and Gloria are living their best life and each of them are running their businesses from California. They have a home under construction on the land Jamie owns on the Pacific coast. They even got married there. Gloria has a new assistant and her and Kevin each have found love but are still best friends, more like brother and sister relationship because they have known each other so long. These loveable characters I could read another story about. What does Kevin call Gloria... Glorious that is what this story is. Their song Toi et Moi... they are two hearts 💞 that melt and flow into infinity ♾️💞. Loved this series

"Oh, my angel. Our first anniversary but far from our last. I looked forward to growing old and looking at her face every night when I went to sleep and every morning when I awoke. And to watching our children grow up. In my heart, I knew we were going to be one of those old couples you see still holding hands and laughing after fifty years of marriage. And kissing like young lovers. I was going to be Gloria’s forever."

This book is just done for a few bucks extra.
It has absolutely no use.
Still a lot of bragging.
To me it’s just 1 big Gloria ego trip.
While in labour in the middle of centra of New York you’re happy that baby’s will have Chanel scarfs to cover them.
Ridiculous

I enjoyed where the author took this third/last book in Gloria's series - kept the characters interesting and reeled me in to seek out her other books. Keep 'em coming Nelle L'Amour!

***ARC received in exchange for an HONEST review***

I fell in love with this series back in 2013 when I reviewed Gloria’s Secret and Gloria’s Revenge for Nelle L’Amour’s blog tour. So, to simply say I have been anxiously awaiting this final installment is a bit of an understatement. Receiving an email from the author letting me know Gloria’s Forever was finished was the equivalent of a child being told they’re going to Disney. Yes, I was that excited.

But before I get into my review, let me shed some light on my dear Gloria. She is a headstrong, confident, powerful woman who (excuse my French) doesn’t take shit from anybody. Her character appealed to me immensely because women such as Gloria do NOT appear in all works of fiction. She is such a rare gem, a precious find who will make you feel like, despite what you’ve been through in your past, you can and will overcome and conquer the world. Who wouldn’t love that kind of inspiration?

So onto my review…

I wish I could say that Gloria’s Forever worked the same kind of magic on me as the first two books, but sadly it did not. I’m not saying it was bad, but it just didn’t have the same feel or evoke the same emotions in me as the first time around, and much like the That Man Series, the sex scenes became overpowering. I lost my connection with Gloria and felt like an outsider looking in as opposed to be being a part of it all. The story didn’t always stay on point either, and I found it kind of strange that it actually wandered into a lengthy flashback while Gloria was in labor in the middle of a busy NY street.

One big issue I had with this book, and it’s entirely a personal preference, not something that would necessarily bother others, is the use of a certain profanity. Now, I am by no means uptight nor do I have any issues with most profanity because quite frankly, I’m known to curse like a sailor when the mood strikes. But everybody has that one word that they just don’t like, and mine is more of a phrase. I even hate just typing out the acronym…OMFG. I don’t like the “F” before the “G”. Make sense?? It just bothers me. I cringe every time I come across it and get tricked into reading it b/c it’s not something I would ever say or think. And unfortunately it was used quite a lot, and I do mean A LOT in this book. But what makes matters worse is that the story has a spiritual moment of sorts, which wouldn’t be a bad thing if not for all the contradictory swearing. The two just don’t go together.

Basically, I enjoyed this story for what it was, a conclusion to the series. So now I know where they’re at in their lives and the next adventure (parenting) that awaits them.

[Kellie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I first want to thank Nelle for the dedication to my Grandson Gareth Andrew, who died during childbirth in 2014, to know he will be forever be remembered this way means so much to me, and although I love all the Gloria books, Gloria's Forever will always hold a special place in my heart.

Ok....so before you start to read GF, I strongly suggest you have a huge box of tissues at the ready, because you are going to cry, and I mean sob your little heart out, because I know I did, this story is just a great ending to the series, I'm sad like most of Nelle's fans are, but I think it ended perfectly where it was meant to end.

The story picks up obviously with Gloria and Jaime being married and Gloria being pregnant with twins, this doesn't stop the heated up sex sessions they have, if anything they get hotter.

The Zanders pretty much has everything they could need to live that happily ever after.........but the universe being a massive douch nozzle isn't going to let that happen and decides to test their strength by giving them the biggest test of all time, and that's the stress of almost losing their little family.

I love we get to know more about Kevin, this guy has been Gloria's bestie for a long time, so to find out more about him to me was an important part to the book.......we also learn more about Ty, Gloria's driver, who I have to admit I bypassed to begin with, but found myself wanting to know more about him......(and still do cuz he sings yummy) but even he gets a happy ending.

Some might say, I have to give a five star review because I'm both Nelle's Friend and one of her Beta Belles, and dare I add, Facebook graphic designer (now isn't that a fancy title) but that's not true, if I didn't enjoy the book, then I'd honestly say so.

My advice if you are wondering "hmmm should I read this series?" is hell yeah, you will feel in love with Gloria, Jaime and the people around them, and of course Nelle herself....I'm almost 100% sure you will add her to your top ten favourite writer's.

[Gloria Herrera for As You Wish Reviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sexy, intelligent, and with looks that make men turn and melt at the sight of her, Gloria is a force to be reckoned with. As the founder and CEO of her lingerie company, she is the driving force behind their new products and designs.

All is not peaches and cream in her world. She is surrounded by sharks, with the biggest one being the Chairman of the Board who is after getting in her panties. What a horrible man! I felt like smashing his face in a few times as he just moves right in and attempts to intimidate her. This man will stop at nothing to have her... even if it means debasing her and making her lose her own company.

The romance and courtship between Gloria and Jaime is one for the annals of greatness. The attraction is mutual from the first moment. Love at first sight with all the trimmings and bells and whistles too! These two cannot keep their hands to themselves. The attraction is too primal to hold back. With all their insecurities, these two characters are able to reach a level of intimacy that will make you swoon.

This review is for the entire series. I purposely have not been too detailed because you deserve to read and discover this gem of a story just like I did. Be prepared to handle this series with mittens. It is scorching hot and burning with passion!

*******I was luck to be chosen to beta read*********

I must say this was bittersweet reading the conclusion to the two characters who were my first loves as far as Nelle's work goes. Jamie & Gloria have a love that transcends heaven & time. I'm this book we patiently await the arrival of Gloria's twin babies while everything is going so well in her business & personal life. Her company is growing & even the fabulous Kevin is thriving. But into everyone's life a little rain must fall but I must say I wasn't expecting such a downpour. Gloria goes into labor and things spiral out of control from there. It was heart wrenching to feel as helpless as Jamie felt in those nerve racking moments. He was beyond devastated & poor Kev was equally inconsolable. This book touch on the great beyond in which Gloria had conversations with the most fascinating people but I'm glad she choose to fight for love, for her babies & for her happily ever after. This book was beyond words wonderful & had a great additional character added. Keep an eye out for a sweet sassy nurse/nanny named Kashunna

This book right here, made me go every type of emotions. I laugh, my body temperature got very hot thanks to that lovable alpha God, and it even made me cry. I'm lying it made me bawl! Lol.

Yes I have truly missed Jaime and Gloria, and of course Kevin ( that fan-f**king-tastic guy).

In this last installment Gloria’s Forever, we've come to understand as readers, what Gloria’s and Jaime's life has become after the wedding of the century.

I have never read a series that I have grown a serious attachment towards the character. So Nelle if you can give us readers more the Zander clan ;) I will be forever happy :)

I can say much without giving away the story. But I can promise you that you will never be disappointed if you get this book right here. Come on when have Nelle ever disappoint her Bella's? That's right never so go ahead and this amazing book that's giving you more about the Zander clan you love so much

This was a FANTASTIC ending to Gloria’s story. Her story was a roller coaster of a ride and even this story was heart pounding til the very end.
Gloria and Jamie are characters that I #HEART always and will love forever and am sad that this chapter in their story looks to be over. Gloria’s Forever made me laugh, cry, my panties melt, laugh again and sweat in fear until I knew all would be well. Love the great new characters we met and all I have to say is.. Please Please we need more GLORIA!!!

This was a great addition to the Gloria books. This novella continues the story after Gloria's revenge so I recommend reading the first two books first. Gloria and Jamie are characters that I adore and I loved reading the duel POV's in this story. Gloria's forever had me laughing out loud, shedding a tear and made me swoon. The epilogue was the best, loved it, not to mention you get a sneak peek at the next series Nelle is working on and I can't wait! If you loved the other Gloria books, you won't be disappointed in Gloria's forever.

"You and me
Two hearts that melt and flow into infinity;
We leave the world we know to voyage breathlessly.
Our bed, the sea,
And in the waves, just you and me"

What can I say? Wow. The story of Gloria and Jaime comes to a magnificent ending. They have their love, their beautiful twins, and their makeshift family that consists of friends that have come together along the way. Beautifully written. I wish that there were more honestly. I couldn't put it down because I wanted to see what would happen and where they would end up. Just magnificent. - I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

It seems like I was waiting forever for this book to come out but I didn't mind cause I had That Man series to keep me busy. My only complaint about this book is that it is wayyyyyy to short, it pissed me off to pay $2.99 for a book that is 113 pages but I love Gloria & Jaime so I did it. The book takes place 6 months after Jaime & Gloria were married & life seems to be going great for the power couple who are expecting twins. During her annual Gloria's Secret fashion show she goes into labor & things start to go from bad to worse.

What a fabulous novella from Nelle L'Amour. Gloria's Forever had me from the first page I loved Gloria and Jamie in the previous books, which I would recommend you read first. (Gloria's Secret and Gloria's Revenge) Throughout these books their sexual chemistry is amazing but I have to say this book literally brought me to tears and took me on a real emotional rollercoaster. An amazing epilogue and a massive 5 stars I also loved the sneak peek at Nelle's new series can't wait to start reading.

Oh wow what a wonderful end to a wonderful story. I went through a myriad of emotions with this little novella. I laughed, I cried, I was scared and relieved. What an emotional ride that was. But two beautiful babies, a gorgeous, romantic husband, a successful career and friends that would never let you down. A perfect life is exactly what Gloria deserves after all she's been through.

Loved it! What a great way to wrap up Jaime and Gloria's journey. Nelle L'Amour toyed with my emotions several times but it's all worth it because their road has never been easy. All of the hot chemistry is there as we move through some major moments in their lives and relationship. Incredible tie-in to the past for Gloria that is beautiful and poignant giving us just the right amount of insight and solidifying Gloria's strength. Paulette and Payton … glorious!!

I was given this book in exchanged for an hones review. A fantastic ending to a brilliant series. I first came to know Gloria and Jaime when I read the Amazing That Man series, and this couple certainly intrigued me.
