I'm a bit frustrated. Why does Garett always and I mean always get to be on top? I don't need explicit details of their love making but I would like it if they spiced it up some lol. Also, I'm really hoping Jade relents and gives Garett what he wants: a baby or babies, even if it's only one. Please.

I really liked the 4 books but this one... just no no no.

Allie Everhart should have left Jade and Garett alone and let them getting married in peace!
Instead she should have started writting another book with other characters.

Drama in the first, second and third book was good. In the fourth it was getting annoying and in this one it was the last straw that breaks the camel’s back !

And what do I learn??! THERE IS A SIXTH BOOK???!


So I'm gonna stop here, pretend I didn't read this book and pretend that Garett and Jade got married, got 2 children and lived happily ever after without drama.

Good luck for the other who have the strenght to keep reading their fabulous adventure. (sorry if there are mistakes it's because i'm french not because i'm illiterate)

Finally! FINALLY!

I was SO EXCITED when I saw that Allie Everhart had decided to write more books about my favorite characters, Garrett and Jade! You have NO IDEA! But, being that I had to wait a bit for book five I didn't want to jump right back in, so I decided to go back and reread the entire series. I also just reread all my reviews of the books, and I gotta say, I still agree that this series is just INCREDIBLE!

Even though I knew what was coming I was still on the edge of my seat while reading and everything was just as sweet and exciting as reading it the first time! I laughed out loud so many times at my favorite moments, including Jade learning to hug, and them writing in their journals. Ahhh, such good memories. But onto this book!

So book five picks up right where we left off, and it's no secret that we get to attend G & J's wedding!! Eeeeeep! Allie did a great job of not making this just a book about how their summer went, but also keeping things intriguing still. I could have used a little more mystery, but then again I was so nervous I don't know if I could have handled it!!

Garrett is just as hunky and sweet as ever. He loves Jade something fierce, and that has always remained a constant. Jade has changed SO much! I don't think I would have noticed the difference between book 1 Jade and book 5 Jade if I didn't go back and reread them back to back, but she really has matured and changed a lot! She is finally comfortable and has accepted this great life she has! I was just sooooo so so so proud of her throughout this book. I have always felt I could relate to Jade, and have rooted for her, and seeing her being about to love so much easier in this book was touching.

All of my favorite characters were back and I couldn't even tell you who I love the most... Frank, Ryan, Lilly, Pearce, Grace, Harper, Sean.... gah! An AMAZING cast and all so close to my heart. I am so glad Allie has kept them involved in the storyline and I can not wait to see what comes for them! I feel like she opened up a lot of opportunities to elaborate on each of them, and I hope, and get the feeling that we will be learning a lot more about all of these guys in the future books.

Again, the writing was just fantastic. It's what I have come to expect from Allie, and she did not disappoint! The perfect mix of sarcasm, humor, mushy-love, sexy time, and mystery. I honestly can not believe that I have been hooked on this series for 5 BOOKS! That is HUGE! Very rarely can a romance keep me turning the pages for 5 books, let alone have me looking forward to more (multiple) books!

I am so greatful to the Author for giving her readers what they crave. I tell all my book friends about the Jade Series and would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat! Can't wait to read more in this love saga!

In Forever You, Jade and Garret finally had a chance to relax and recover from the events of last year and get to enjoy being a couple. There’s a lot of romance in this book and less of the mystery, which was intentional because it’s meant to be about their summer and wedding and love for each other.

That said, there are some major clues planted in Forever You that lead to the developing mystery.

Forever You is the calm before the storm because things won’t go so smoothly in the next book. Moving to a new town and starting a new college is stressful and will take a toll on Jade and Garret’s relationship. And there will be some suspicious activities going on around them that have them worried about their safety.

So enjoy the joy and happiness in Forever You because trouble lies ahead!

Personal Response:
Overall, I really enjoyed reading Forever You . I thought this book was very relatable because the characters are around my age and the relationship problems that occurred happen in today’s world. My favorite part of the book was when Jade and Garrett had their wedding because it was very small and personal to them. I would definitely recommend this book and I plan on rereading it in the future.

Plot Summary:
Jade and Garrett have recently gotten engaged. They are planning for a small wedding just outside their house on the beach. Jade is letting her best friend do most of the wedding details. Although Jade doesn’t want to wear a wedding dress, she agrees to look for one. On her last stop, she finds the perfect dress and decides to buy it. A few months passed and it is almost time for their wedding. Garrett and Jade decide to visit Jade’s grandmother before the wedding. They spend two days with her because they know they won’t be able to see her much after they are married. A few days before their wedding, men from Garrett’s dad’s organization show up, and they say, “hello,” to Garrett. This worries Garrett, so he decides to tell his dad and take care of it. The morning of their wedding, Jade goes over to her best friend’s house to get ready. Once she is ready, she meets her dad downstairs. The rest of the day goes to plan, and they have a wonderful wedding. That night, Garrett takes Jade to their “honeymoon suite”. Since Jade didn’t want to go on a honeymoon yet, Garrett set up a romantic tent on the beach. The next morning, they say goodbye to their friends and family. Things are looking bright for Jade and Garrett’s future, but now they must be prepared for the next step in their lives.

Characterization:
Jade Taylor is a nineteen-year-old girl who lives in California. In this book, she gets married to her true love. Jade is smart, caring, and very strong hearted. Jade has a foster dad and brother who live in Iowa. Jade has brown hair, is average height, and she is skinny. Throughout the book, Jade learns to be more trusting and her relationship grows deeper with Garrett. After she gets married, her new name becomes Jade Kensington.

Garrett Kensington is a nineteen-year-old male who lives with his true love in California. He enjoys watching movies and surfing with his friend: Sean. He is tall, skinny, has brown hair, and has brown eyes. Garrett is very caring, intelligent, and quick minded. He marries Jade in the summer on the beach.

Setting:
Forever You takes place in California. Jade and Garrett live on the coast in a rental house. This is important because their wedding and honeymoon took place on the beach that is just outside their house. The reader can interpret the time period as modern because the technology used matches today’s. An example of this would be cell phones.

Theme:
The theme of this book was determination. Jade and Garrett came from different worlds. Their relationship should have never worked because there were too many people trying to keep them apart. Jade and Garrett were determined to overcome every obstacle that was thrown at them.

Recommendation:
I recommend this book to teen girls from the ages of thirteen to nineteen. This book has a lot of romance in it, which makes it feminine. If the reader is too young, he/she may not understand certain concepts, such as divorce. I give this book a five out of five stars because I thought it was very interesting and relatable.

Jestem rozczarowana. Sam lukier. Poza przygotowaniami do ślubu, samą uroczystością i miesiącem, a właściwie to tygodniem miodowym nie ma nic. Praktycznie zero jakiegokolwiek dramatyzmu. Przez chwilę pojawia się znany nam już Cecil Roth, ale poza tym słodka nuda. Autorka mogła zakończyć tę serię na czterech tomach, chyba że w kolejnych jeszcze się rozkręci.

This is the 5th book from one of my all time favorite series Jade. My sister recommended this series to me and I am so glad she did. I read the 1st 3 books one after the other. Each book I read, I would fall in love with Jade and Garrett's love more and more.

If you never read this book, you should start. You will fall in love with these two. The biggest reason why I love this book is Garrett, one of my top book boyfriends. There's not enough words to describe the man. He is pure perfection, from his personality and to his looks. He is the best d*** boyfriend anyone could ask for. He may have started a little rough in the beginning, but it didn't take him long to grow into the man that he becomes. Same goes with Jade, in every book you see her grow more and more into the best girlfriend that Garrett deserves. Reading about Jade has reminded me so much of how I am, very simple and doesn't need much to be happy. All she needs is the happiness of her family and Garrett's love.

This book is all about the love that Jade and Garrett have for each other and their beautiful, yet simple summer wedding. This book is not as intense as the other 4 books, because the whole focus of the book is how much these two love each other and their beautiful wedding.

I cannot wait to read book 6, I'm sure it will be as good as the rest of the books in the series.

I'm so happy that Jade & Garret have their happy ever after This one made me happy & I definitely cried when Jade & Garret got married.. I was really surprised about differently Pearce acted in this book. and I loved the interaction between Pearce, Garret & Jade with Lilly. I so want more Jade & Garret and Sean & Harper. I would love to know more about Garret's mom . Thank you for continuing the Jade series and I so can't wait for the next book!

I so missed Garret and Jade. I just loved this book and am super excited for the next book. Im hoping that Jade and Garret have a baby. I am also thinking something is up with Harpers Parents not liking Sean I think her dad is in the orginization and they have plans with Harper so they are trying to get her to end things with him.. just my guess. Something is also up with Katherine shes up to something maybe shes seeing Garrets Grandfather?

I would love to read more about Harper and Sean and so looking for Book 6 I just love Garret and Jade and cant wait to read more about their epic love :)

Another Job well Done Allie I just love your books your incredible!!

I loved this book! The intense drama that Jade and Garret are always encountering took a backseat with this book focusing on their relationship and their wedding. I do love drama but once in awhile it is nice to focus on the relationship and celebrate it alongside the characters. We get to follow Jade and Garret's journey as they plan their wedding all the way up to the actual wedding which was really fun to read about. I am really looking forward to the next book and meeting new characters! California and the new college Jade and Garret will be attending is a good way to spice up the story and keep readers interested.

It is time, Jade and Garret are getting married and spending their summer at the beach with Harper and Sean. We get to see a bit more from Harper and Sean and their relationship. I think this book is one of my favorites from the series. It is a lighter read with a lot of summer vibes and it still gives you enough angst and mystery. The writing was as good as it always is and what I also really liked was that there was enough mystery to make me want to read the next book!

** 4 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ **

There was not really a plot in Forever You. It was more like a full length epilogue with Jade's and Garret's summer vacation/wedding. Except from that mean comment on Harper's sisters body made by Jade and the subplot involving Harper and Sean, I loved this book. Jade and Garret were so freaking cute together, they have to be one of the cutest couple I have ever read. They were so in love that you can almost feel the love coming off the pages.

READ IT! READ IT! READ IT!!!
GO READ THIS BOOK!!!!

It truly deserves more credit.

The plot....The storyline....the characters ....AMAZING.

I'm not one to finish all books in a continuous story but I wanted more.

I read Kingston left book 4 .... moved on to Jade then back to finish book 4 and wanted a little more, so finished off with Lilly.

Really support Allie Everhart and get these books.

Sweet continuation

What a sweet continuation to a sweet love story. I’ve loved watching Garret’s and Jade’s story unfold. I am really looking forward to the next three books. I’m wondering what additional twists we’re going to see…

Stars: 5+

Overall: Jade and Garret's story continues on the beaches of California. They are finally free of the organization and getting ready to get married. They have a "condo" on the beach right next to Jade's best friend Harper. Life is pretty much easy and fun. After a weekend of spending time with Grace, the go to a restaurant and run into the head guys of the organization. They came off as imitating and they immediately call Pearce to find out what's going on. Come to find out they are just trying to intimidate but supposedly they can't do anything because of the "rules", but i don't trust that. The book ends with Harper going back with her boyfriend to the east coast and Garret & Jade getting ready to go off to college.

Pros: The time they spend with Lily was cute and gave me ideas about what to do with my own daughter. I really liked the change in Garret's dad Pearce. I'm hoping there are going to be more good changes for him in the future.

Cons: I wish the wedding was a bit longer and had a little more something to it. I wanted Jade and Garret to be more involved with the planning of it.

Characters: Jade & Garret

Page Turner: OH yes!

Series Cont: YES! Another book is to be released soon!

Recommend: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THE SERIES.

Zzzzzzzzz

I really enjoy this series, but this book was basically a giant snooze fest. After I was three quarters of the way done, I assumed something intense would happen sometime soon, so when any little thing happened I would be coming up with scenarios in my head how it would turn into something dramatic. Blowing candles off on a birthday cake? THERE'S GOING TO BE A FIRE!!!! Going for a road trip? CAR CRASH, OBVIOUSLY! You get the idea. But, no. Nothing. I get that even storybook couples need a bit of a happy break once in a while, but this book was clearly just a filler until the next one and their new set of problems. Read it for the sake of continuity, but don't expect much excitement.

I can’t say much but...after all the ups and downs.. this is where Garret and Jade’s happily ever after life begins... Their love, wedding, and couple life are here. At first, I think this is the closure of the series... but I think Allie Everhart is planning on the next book. So, I will definitely looking forward to the next one. One thing for sure, Garret and jade’s story is one of the best series I’ve read. It started small and typical but it ended big and truly romantic...

For all the people who believe that a long series is a boring series... Well... Garret and Jade’s story might change your mind.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!
I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH! I can't wait to read more about Jade and Garret, Pearce, Lilly, Frank, Ryan and Harper and Sean. And what happened to Blake? I would also like to meet more of Jade's other family. And to find out why Harper's parents don't like Sean . Is it because her father is in the organization? I have alot of questions but they will give too much away. I would also like to see Jade and Grace's relationship continue to grow even closer. I EXTREMELY recommend this series to everyone. So Allie, How long do we have to wait for #6? Lol. And what's up with Garret's grandfather?

I'm giving this book 4 out of 5 stars only because I didn't LOVE it as much as the others. Now, I loved the wedding and reading all about the big day but the other books were so intense and kept me hooked that when I read them I read all 4 in 4 days. This one took me about a week to read. So, when a book comes out you kind of expect it to be like the others and it wasn't. Other than that honestly I loved it still, and the fact that there is going to be another books makes me happy. I love the way Allie writes her books. I can't wait for the next book!
