Midwest Boys #5
#ForeverMN
Rogue is more than a way of life…
Commitment.
Family.
Love.
Saylor
I’ve loved Ciaran since I set foot in Minnesota.
His icy eyes, loyalty, and unwavering faith in the good work of Rogue made it easy to fall. And I fell hard. Years later, nothing has changed. I want him and the life he’s dreamt for us.
I want his last name.
When old fears, haunted pasts and my own insecurities threaten to destroy us, the man I have loved since I was a teen, suddenly is cold, unyielding and wants to set me free.
I can’t imagine my happily ever after without Ciaran.
Even if I lose myself completely, I’ll prove to him that all those years ago, I chose Rogue but more importantly, I chose him.
Ciaran
I’ve loved the girl with lilac hair and expressive eyes since the day she arrived at my house. Saylor is my safe haven when the life of Rogue becomes harsh. I keep myself going by dreaming about a future for us.
I want her to be part of me in every way possible.
Until the unthinkable happens. In one moment the security and promises I made her are destroyed in a hail of bullets.
Suddenly I’m stuck between duty and love. With my own fears after growing up broken resurface, I chose to let her go. I refuse to hurt the one person I love more than my own life.
I can’t kill the happily ever after that she deserves. Even if it isn’t with me.
I’ll lose myself completely to make Saylor happy, to keep her safe, to keep her alive. I was born into Rogue, but my heart will always beat for her.

FULL REVIEW IN Aisha's Book World
In romance books, we don’t always get to see what happens after a couple gets their happily ever after. Well, in #ForeverMN by Ashton Brooks we have the opportunity to see Ciaran and Saylor years after the summer that changed their lives forever.
Now Ciaran and his best friends Silas and Kai have taken the reins of Rogue, a private witness protection program which accept cases the U.S. traditional government agencies can’t handle, and asked Saylor to marry him. She accepted—of course! They’re head over heels for each other—but she thinks Ciaran is rushing things, while Ciaran is frustrated because Saylor’s delaying the wedding plans. Their struggle to reach middle ground could take them to the point of no return. Can they put aside their pride, fears, and past events to be together and achieve what they want, both as a couple and as far as Rogue is concerned?
I liked this series since day one, and I really enjoyed Saylor and Ciaran’s journey to their—AT LAST!—happily ever after. Ms. Brooks is a fantastic storyteller, and the world building is exquisite. The story has its flaws, yes, and makes you feel there’s something missing here, but this book is pretty remarkable. It’s been a pleasure going back to Saylor and Ciaran’s romance and falling in love again with these characters.
ARC given by Ashton Brooks via The Next Step PR. Thanks for your trust.
I find it hard to believe him. We’ve been through so much that I keep waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop.

#ForeverMN (Midwest Boys Series Book 5) by Ashton Brooks is about a crime-fighting group called Rogue that has a safe place in Minnesota for endangered people escaping human trafficking or other heinous crimes committed by sociopaths or the scrouge of humanity. This is the fifth book in the #MN series, but the third book following Ciaran and Saylor that tells the story of Ciaran, a Rogue leader, and Saylor, one of the victims known as targets, who was rescued and relocated for her safety when no other recourse was left. Saylor and Ciaran fell in love in high school as they grew up together; then, when Saylor’s home was attacked and her sister hurt while she was in school, her life changed once more. Secrets abound surrounding the families, and a mole needs to be found before Rogue loses their cloak of clandestineness. Saylor’s life has stagnated because of her internal fears, and she refuses to move forward with her future with Ciaran. It takes tragedy and losing in love before she can find her identity and has a reason to move towards a real future. Ciaran wants to be in her future, but due to his injury and the uncertainty of life, he ends his engagement with Saylor when she can’t give him a real commitment to getting married. I enjoyed this unique story of heroes operating on the premise of being the secret arm of the CIA or called upon by other governmental agencies to extract and help victims when no other way is available to help them safely so that each person or target can live a relatively everyday life. Ashton Brooks has a talent for taking a couple that has gone separate ways but still harboring love for the other back together into a wonderful sigh-worthy HEA.

At the start of the book, Ciaran and Saylor are engaged and he is actively searching for their new home while she is procrastinating. With their involvement in the secret organisation Rogue, their work brings them apart frequently and also puts Ciaran in danger.
As time goes by, both of them start to doubt that their relationship can survive. Can Saylor and Ciaran overcome their issues for them to have their Happily ever after?
With this being the last book, many loose ends are tied up nicely and we also get to see the couples from the earlier books in the series. If you like an action-packed story, you will love this as suspense is interspersed with the romance plot.
The epilogue was beautifully written and I loved how it confirms that our lovely couple has integrated fully into Rogue while also living to their fullest – loving each other and being there for each other in every way.

The Rogue world has been one of my favorite since the very beginning when I saw the cover of the first book. That love has just grown immensely!
#ForeverMN is the final book in the Midwest Boys series and I devoured it completely! This was so good! This book was jam packed with emotion and drama. This group of characters feels just like family. I absolutely adore Ciaran and Saylor and crave every tidbit of them that is written. I fully was immersed into the story from the first page. Between tears, laughs, and smiles, this book is definitely worth the wild emotional rollercoaster it takes you on. Without a question in my mind, I love this book!
It is definitely recommend to read this series in order. If you haven’t started it yet, definitely go for it! This romantic suspense, secret society book is full of everything a reader could love. I am definitely going be talking about this for years to come! I can’t wait to see what Ashton Brooks has next!

The fifth book in the Midwest Boys series but the first one I’ve read which probably wasn’t a great idea considering #ForeverMN seems to be the conclusion to Saylor and Ciaran’s romance which began in the first two books, so I’ve missed a lot of their history and background which might’ve helped explain their behaviour and reasoning behind their actions in this book. From what I can tell they met when Rogue, a secret agency similar to witness protection helped Saylor when she needed their services and who they both now work for but is the agency that brought them together going to be the thing that parts them? Despite feeling slightly like I’ve dropped into the middle of their story; it has engaged me enough that I know want to go and read the rest of the series. Theres a lot of emotion in the writing and I’m intrigued by the idea of the secret society vibes I’m getting from Rogue.

This is the fifth and final book in this phenomenal series, and this is Ciaran and Saylor’s journey.
Ciaran has loved Saylor since the day they met, and these two have endured so much in their lives.
No spoilers this is a must read story!
This is a well written story which is an action packed, emotional roller coaster, with family, friendships, insecurities, commitment, humor, witty banter, drama, danger, suspense, intrigue, secrets, romance, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining and compelling page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Ciaran wants nothing more than to marry Saylor, buy a house and have babies. While Saylor wants those things as well, she wants to move at a slower pace and figure her life out with Rogue. I loved how this book takes you through the ups and downs of the other marriages in Rogue and how their relationships suffered, grew and found their way back to each other. Throw in a few assignments and this made for a great weekend read!

#ForeverMN (Midwest Boys #5) is a small town, found family romance.
Ciaran and Saylor have been one of my top favorite couples. I have been addicted since I first met them in book 1. I enjoyed the drama, suspense and intimate moments throughout the book. I loved being absorbed into their world again. The ending was perfection!

I was hooked from the first page!
This is the last book in the series and I’m sad it’s over. But I will read this series over and over in the future.
Saylor and Ciaran have found their HEA together and are such an amazing couple. It was an emotional rollercoaster getting there, but I lived every second of it.

I don’t know that this needed to be another book but I did love being back in Rogue’s world. It was great to see the characters again after reading the full series years ago. I’ve always loved Saylor and Ciaran and still do though I’m not a fan of the push each other away. Thankfully they were strong enough to come back together and get their final HEA.

Ciaran is desperate to marry Saylor & settle down. However she's still trying to find her way in Rogue.
New cases are coming in all the time and the pressure is huge.
What a great conclusion to their story.

Can there be an HEA for Saylor and Ciaran?
I was dying at each page turn to find out!
Would the pressures of their lives be too much to let them find their way to each other?
This was an emotional addition to this awesome series!
Don't miss it! I read it in one sitting!
