Always & Forever #3
Desired By you
Gabriella
They say the one you never see coming changes everything and I never saw him.
I've spent my life being the good girl, atoning for one reckless night that shattered my family’s world. But beneath the perfect exterior I’m forced to project, I crave to be desired, to feel something.
When Brad discovers my secret he offers to help, and suddenly, I’m falling for the one man who sees me as nothing more than an innocent friend. Just when I find the courage to reveal my feelings, I’m caught in a web of secrets that could destroy everything.
I’ve spent my life keeping them, but what if this one ruins it all?
Brad
Gabriella Monroe is proof that you should never judge a book by its cover, and she’s fast becoming my biggest weakness.
With my addictive personality, I have to choose my vices carefully. My life is a constant battle, against the scars of war, the demons of my past, and the rigid routine that keeps me afloat. I lived in black and white until she crashed into my world, making me see color again.
Gabriella was never mine to keep, so I took what I could. Fragments of her are better than nothing at all but I was a fool to think I could keep my feelings in check when I offered to help her.
She’s an addiction I can’t fight, a force I can’t resist, and when she leaves, I’ll be left alone in the storm she once calmed, and I don’t know if I’m going to survive it.

I knew this book would be epic, and that's what was delivered. I absolutely inhaled this book. Gabriella and Brad were the perfect combination for friends to lovers who are grumpy sunshine with a mask of trauma surrounding both of them. This intense romance had me gasping at each chapter. Such a good read.

This is one of my most anticipated reads of this year! I adore Natasha’s writing and this series is everything. This is book 3 in the Always and Forever series. I would suggest reading these books in order but this can be read as a standalone.
𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 has always been seen as a quiet, innocent good girl. She is shy and a little awkward but is an absolute queen waiting to break free. Gabby blossoms and feels confident enough to show her true self with help from Brad.
𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 is broody, grumpy and reserved but has a soft spot for Gabby. Brad has been yearning for Gabby from the sidelines before he finally crosses the line and begins to explore what could be!
Gabby and Brad’s relationship was beautiful. The way that they both care deeply for each other as friends first is what built the foundation for their romance. The trauma and healing aspects of the story for both Gabby and Brad were handled so beautifully and sensitively that I found myself in tears on more than one occasion.
I am a sucker for a good nickname in a romance and I think Brad wins the award in this book… “ 𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘺 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭” and “𝘔𝘪𝘢 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘢”. 🥵
This book had everything! I read it in just 2 sittings! 🥹

She’s done it again, how is this only her 3rd book??? NL Amore, you have done incredible this story has hit me soo deep AGAIN. You truly know how to hit everyone in the heart and mend us.
Gabriella and Brad are opposites tied together by secrets and undeniable chemistry. Gabriella hides behind perfection, while Brad is the steady but broken anchor dealing with a painful past.
What sets this story apart is its emotional depth—no clichés, just raw, honest moments of healing, love, and growth. Their bond is electric, but it’s the quiet, tender moments that truly resonate.
Do NOT get me started on the Nicknames “Mia Cara” & “Baby girl”😭😍
What I love the most about this book is the friendship dynamic it’s my dream to have friends like Ria, Ali and even the boys. The bond jack has with Gabriella was so emotional to see.
This isn’t just a romance—it’s a heartfelt journey of self-discovery, vulnerability, and the power of being truly seen.

Holy F*ck! Mrs Amore 🧎♀️🫦 Brad and Gabby, I'm staying on my knees! Don't worry, I got my knee pads on 😌 This book was absolutely brilliant. Don't even get me started on how kinky and hawt they are. I could not stop, giggling, smiling, blushing, and feeling literal peace when I was reading them 🥹 The angst, tension, chemistry, and hilarious moments ❤️ chefs kiss!
Brad Russo 🫦🧎♀️ Sir? Daddy? Mine? All these describe this man! Tall, handsome, ex-military, billionaire, dark painful past, grumpy, kinky, filthy mouth, touch her and die, obssesed, protective, possessive, patient, gentleman, freak and can't help falling insanely in love with his woman 😍 I've been falling for Brad since book one, but now, I'm obsessed. This man is just something else. The yearning he served. He's been secretly falling for her since they met years ago. He's never felt this protective and gentle towards anyone before. He literally wants to stay on his knees and worship her 24/7 😌
Gabriella Monroe 😍 Angel Queen! Gabby surprised me more. This shy, sunshine ballerina is a freak alright. And only with Brad 🤭🧎♀️ Who can blame her? He brings the freak out in me too 😂✋️ Beautiful, intelligent, ex-ballerina, dance instructor, part time accountant, secret life, rich, dark painful past, hides her pain, frickin adorable, can't handle her liquor for anything 😂, sassy and won't stop being bold and feisty now that Brad brought that side out 🥹 The one and only man to ever make her feel safe, cherished and protected is the one she thinks she can never have. Gabby has been through hell and forced to think she doesn't deserve happiness. I felt incredibly protective of her 🥹 I was cheering her on, and she inspired me so much!
Now Mrs Amore 🤭 After that teaser for book 4, I need them! 😫🧎♀️ I literally can't wait because they have me hooked. I do have my tissues prepared and ready.

“You are the person I feel the safest with. How could I be anything but safe when I’m with you? I trust you with my life.”
We have been waiting Book 3 in the Always & Forever Series by NL Amore and wow it did not dissapoint. I finished it in one sitting and now I feel lost. The emotions that you are left after reading one of Tash's books, are ones I don't think I can ever explain. It makes me so emotional, even now a day later. These books will stay with me forever, and I will continually shout about them from the rooftops and sing your praises. Over the three books your progression as an author is clear for everyone to see. Tash is a genius of one minute having us melting due to the spice then either sobbing ugly tears, to uncontrollable laugher, or in my case nearly choking to death 😂.
This is a standalone, but as I have previously mentioned this is the 3rd book in series, I would recommend reading the first two in series first to get the full effect of this amazing series. All characters are featured in each book and you don't want to miss that. Every character holds a special part of my heart and are some of the best books I have ever read. Make sure you have plenty of tissues.
Brad is a dark horse, always looking out for the youngest in the group Gabi. But has there always been more. Gabi is quiet and needs help to be more confident, and who is the only one who can help her, the tattooed badboy. Their connection is instant from the beginning. I love them both equally. Both misunderstood with trauma and with bumps along the road but can they help each other and have a life together?
“If you need me, use me. If being with me helps you, then I’m all yours, Gabriella. For as long as you need.”

Okay….WOW!! I couldn’t wait for Gabby’s and Brad’s story, I loved Ria & Jack and I loved Ali & Harry and now I have fallen in love with Gabby and Brad.
This book was amazing, the thing I love about NL Amore writing is that even though it’s a romance story, it’s so much more like parts of the story will break your heart and make you feel so many emotions but it will be worth it to get to the end to see what ending these characters have.
The emotional connection between the characters are phenomenal, the deep elements of difficult topics that people in this world face everyday , are written absolutely beautifully and so well.
The plot was fantastic it keep you interested and the characters made the book amazing. I mean this book had romance, found family, spicy moments and it dealt with more Sensitive topics too and it was all the perfect blend to make a wonderful book.
Hands down a 5 star read 🌟

OMG! So I already knew I was going to love this book but it was even better than i expected! As someone who read the first two books as ARCs I was really grateful to receive this newest book as an ARC as well! Desired by you is an emotional roller coaster full warning but it is so worth the read, especially if you have read the other two books in the series. The found family aspect of all the characters is heartwarming and beautiful. Brad and Gabby made my heart hurt so many times but it was worth it in the end. Please read this series, it is so amazingly written and absolutely worth your time. I cannot wait for the next book!

If I could give this more stars I would!
Having read the first two books in this series I knew what was signing up for and whilst I knew it would be good I did not expect for it to blow me away like it did!!
I sobbed, cried, gasped and wanted to reach into the book and just hug Brad so much.
Each book by NL Amore is getting better and better. I sobbed so much and the ending for this was perfect! 7 mins 😭💔😭💔
I listened along to the playlist while reading too and boy did it hit differently.
Brad is now my favourite in this series and I’m so ready for book 4 already!!!
Well done NL Amore. Great book.

Another amazing addition to this series! I was so excited to read this book and it definitely did not disappoint. I will never stop recommending this series.
Gabby was such a lovable character. I related to her struggle with her image and not feeling confident in herself. Her character went through so much growth and it was so awesome to see. I love the dancing aspect in this story also.
Brad. "Baby girl." I literally love him so much. He thinks he's the villain but he's such a lover and his character was so wonderful. And his tattoos? Yeah I'd date him in a heartbeat. I love how he is always trying to make Gabby see herself the way he sees her.
One of my favorite scenes was definitely when Brad bought Gabby a photoshoot to make he more comfortable. I definitely teared up.
N.L amore can definitely write books and she's one of my favorite authors. I'm so excited to read Noah's story.

Perfection.
You will definitely enjoy this series if read in order as you get the ultimate pleasure of meeting our Brad and Gabby in book 1.
Brad and Gabby have been my ultimate couple since they were introduced in book 1, the connection I had for these individuals since the beginning was unreal.
Let us just take a minutes silence to appreciate this author.
The way she bought these characters to life was utter perfection.
Their stories, their chemistry, their backgrounds were just everything I needed.
I devoured every word written and will definitely go back and reread it.
Gabby and Brad will stay with me for a long time. (Forever)
Their story has all the great tropes that I love:
🌸found family
🌸tortured pasts
🌸friends to lovers
🌸age gap
🌸teach me
Start this series with Loved By You, I won't stop singing and shouting about this series.
Thankyou NL Amore for giving us this beautiful story.

Brad you broke me. What can I say, this is the one I have been waiting for and it absolutely slapped. This book hit me so hard that I’m now in a book hangover. How I’m supposed to move on from Brad and gabby is beyond me. It’s always those quiet ones that love the loudest and hardest. This is friends to lovers with teach me vibes there’s also a few twists that I didn’t see coming and we got to see a bit more of Noah which builds us up nicely for the next book. If you haven’t read this series yet, where have you been it’s insanely good but this book specifically will stick with me for a long time.
June 20, 2025
Oh my gosh!!! What a whirl wind of emotions. I love how passionate Brad was for gabs through out the entire book. There is so much I want to say but don’t want spoil it but all I can say is JOB WELL DONE!!!! I am looking forward to so much more. You truly know how to write about such hard topics and bring it to light through love, family and friendships.
Thankyou for writing such amazing books.

I can't wait to read the other books.

Book 3 in the always and forever series is Brad and Gabriella’s story.
Brad and Gabriella story is a mixed emotions read,Brad is struggling with some heavy demons Gabriella trying with her parents to love her you are taken on a journey with these two.
Brad’s character is easy to connect with he is a tall tattoo gentle giant but my god hurt someone he loves you need to run he is like a mama bear protecting her cubs🔥
Gabriella I had a bit of love hate with her character.
The bond between the men and girls group there have each other’s backs there their ride or die kind of relationship which I love.
With it being a series we get to see the other characters and relive some of their stories through Brad and Gabriella eyes.
I could read NL amore books over and over can’t wait for Noah’s book
For me it’s 4🌟

fucking perfection.
where do i even begin, this book is revoloutionary, i havent screamed, cried and giggled, harder than i did in Desired By you, DBY is insane. My girl Amore is coming at it every single time. the last books: PERFECTION, this books TRIPPLE THAT.
an absolute rollercoaster of hidden desires and unexpected connections!! OMGG, Gabriella is the ultimate 'good girl' who's been carrying the weight of a past mistake, but she’s craving so much more!! She’s irresistibly drawn to Brad, who only sees her as a friend, talk about complicated (rolls eyes)!! Brad’s battling his own dark demons and addictions, yet Gabriella lights up his world in ways he never expected and GIGGLES ARE TO COME!
The characters are insanely well-developed, each fighting with their own intense struggles that make every interaction so real and raw! (and sad) Gabriella’s fight between wanting freedom and feeling responsible is totally palpable, and Brad’s haunted past adds serious emotional depth. Amore; nails this epic push-and-pull tension between them that kept me an ungodly amount of time and made me scream, giggle and cry in the span of 15 minutes.
This book dives deep into themes of redemption, self-discovery, and the crazy transformative power of love which is HOT ASF with secrets and emotional turmoil around every corner, it’s a gripping read that totally deserves a 5 star everywhere.
TY to the author and LN PR for the ARC of this book, I am so excited to share my opinions especially since I am craving for another

where do i even begin, this book is revoloutionary, i havent screamed, cried and giggled, harder than i did in Desired By you, DBY is insane. My girl Amore is coming at it every single time. the last books: PERFECTION, this books TRIPPLE THAT.
an absolute rollercoaster of hidden desires and unexpected connections!! OMGG, Gabriella is the ultimate 'good girl' who's been carrying the weight of a past mistake, but she’s craving so much more!! She’s irresistibly drawn to Brad, who only sees her as a friend, talk about complicated (rolls eyes)!! Brad’s battling his own dark demons and addictions, yet Gabriella lights up his world in ways he never expected and GIGGLES ARE TO COME!
The characters are insanely well-developed, each fighting with their own intense struggles that make every interaction so real and raw! (and sad) Gabriella’s fight between wanting freedom and feeling responsible is totally palpable, and Brad’s haunted past adds serious emotional depth. Amore; nails this epic push-and-pull tension between them that kept me an ungodly amount of time and made me scream, giggle and cry in the span of 15 minutes.
This book dives deep into themes of redemption, self-discovery, and the crazy transformative power of love which is HOT ASF with secrets and emotional turmoil around every corner, it’s a gripping read that totally deserves a 5 star everywhere.
TY to the author and LN PR for the ARC of this book, I am so excited to share my opinions especially since I am craving for another

Epic, Amazing, Emotional, Captivating are just a few words to describes NL Amore new book Desired By You. Desired By You is one of those book that from the moment you start you are not going to be able to put it down. This is the 3 book in the Always & Forever series and can be read as a standalone. Also the way that NL wrote Desire By You, if you haven’t read the other books NL does a great job of telling you about those characters from those book and how they are connect.
The main characters of this Gabby and Brad and they were great. They have great chemistry and connection the start. Seeing how much Brad cares and is there are Gabby is amazing. He will definitely become your next book boyfriend. I also loved watching the growth of Gabby throughout the book. Reading everything that Gabby went through you can’t help but root for her. Also you might even relate her and her issues.
Another thing I loved about Desired By You is the that NL shows that family doesn’t have to be blood related. In this case Gabby and Brad’s friends are their family. They support, care, laugh, and have tough conversations with each other. They are the definition of what a family is.The pace and flow of the story are good. The writing is well down. As you read the story you can picture what you are reading in your head. There are spicy scenes in the book and they are written well. To me there was the perfect amount of spicy scenes.
Overall, Desired By You, is great book. It is emotional captivating. Gabby and Brad are great main characters that you are going to love. Right along with their group of friends. The writing is amazing. The pace and flow are amazing. Once you start this book you aren’t going to want to put it down.

Thank you so much love note pr and author for the free ARC! It was such a treat to dive into this world.
Brad and Gabby’s story was so perfect & I’m obsessed. This book gave me ALL the feels—soft, angsty, romantic, and so beautifully done. The chemistry was fire. Gabby’s strength and Brad’s quiet intensity made every chapter addictive. I literally didn’t want it to end. The way Brad ALWAYS PROTECT HER I just love him.
The buildup was slow in the best way possible. Every glance, every stolen moment, every "almost" kiss? My heart couldn’t handle it. And the way their pasts collided with their present—it added so much depth. N.L. Amore knows how to write emotional romance with spice and soul.
Brad might just be my new book boyfriend. I’ll be re-reading this one for sure.

WOW WOW WOW. - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She’s done it again! This one is so far my favourite in the always and forever story. It was so emotional and raw. I feel we didn’t know much of Brads character from the previous 2 books, which makes sense because that is exactly his character he is very quiet and too himself until you get to know him. I didn’t think this author could top herself from book 2 in the spice department, but was I wrong COMPLETELY. Little vanilla me would give this book a 5 chilli 🌶️, but I loved it! 😻 I have so many more characters that I want books about now. Cassidy redemption arc??? So ready for book 4 now with Noah! My fave scene has to be when Brad and Gabby are caught by ALL of their friends and Harry’s reaction is EVERYTHING! I was laughing, feet kicking and I cried a lot to Taylor Swift songs during this read!
LOOOOOVEEEEEEEE, now give me book 4 please! ❤️🔥🎀🔥⚡️👸🏼🫶🏻🤗

Holy shit balls 🤯🤯 what are you doing to me 😫🥰
I have no idea where to start or even where to end because this book broke me and rebuilt me in so many ways!
There are some trigger so please check your warnings!!
Brad and Gabriella story was an amazing one to read, to see these characters grow and to be able to build a bond so strong nothing will brake them! The storyline is one that is so hard to read from both sides when you know what’s right and wrong!
This was truly amazing and of course NL Amore likes to test my stress levels!!

Because I now need to see a pierced one too 🫣😉😂
Such a good read!!

Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gabriella Monroe is a beautiful dancer and Pilates instructor dealing with a painful past, unsupportive parents, and feelings of inadequacy. Marco “Brad” Russo is an ex military man and club owner that is also struggling with a painful past and a need for control. The characters were very easy to root for and had your heart breaking and melting all at once. The found family aspect of this story was very beautiful and added so much to the book. It was really easy to fall in love with these characters.
Romance: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brad and Gabriella were really sweet and a very good match. I’m always a sucker for a “teach me” couple too. They both deserved to be happy and I’m glad they found that with each other. The way Brad cared for her and so desperately wanted to be the man she deserved melted my heart. My only real issue was that I felt like the back and forth during the conflict went on a little too long. I could understand they were both trying to deal with their situations, but it just felt repetitive. Overall though, I really liked Brad and Gabriella together.
Spice: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If good spice is a top factor for you when choosing a book, then this is a good one for you. It was really well written in my opinion and every scene was exciting in its own way. I feel like sometimes when you have a lot of spice scenes in a book, they can be a little repetitive, but that was not an issue with this book. The dominate/submissive dynamic with Brad and Gabriella was so good and even added to who they are as characters. I would be willing to say spice wise, this is one of the best books I have read. You’re going to be sweating reading this book.
Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I said it in the “Romance” section, but I absolutely love a “teach me” romance. It worked really well for Brad and Gabriella as the push they needed to become more than friends. The more suspenseful parts with Patrick and Brad’s family was a great addition to the main plot as well.
Writing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I will say the writing itself was the weakest part for me. There were quite a few grammatical errors in the book I found distracting. However, let me make the note that I read an ARC of this book, so it’s possible this won’t be an issue in the final released version, so keep that in mind. I also felt like certain words and phrases were overused at times. That being said, this was by no means a badly written book at all. Those were just things I found a little distracting. Ultimately, the writer kept me very interested and I finished the last 55% of the book in a few hours.
Pacing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
For the most part, I thought the pacing was very good. I love when an author utilizes time jumps to space the story out more instead of dragging things out or rushing them. The only really issue I had pacing wise was what I already mentioned in the “Romance” section about the back and forth from the conflict dragging a little too long.
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25
This was a really enjoyable read. I wasn’t completely hooked in the beginning, but I was very much still intrigued enough to keep reading and the story got pretty addicting about halfway through. Brad and Gabriella were an enjoyable couple to read about and I’m glad I got to experience their journey. I would highly recommend reading the previous books in the series first. As someone who has only read this one, it would benefit your reading experience. You can read this book first and for the most part piece together what has happened in the previous books, but I believe you’ll have a more complete picture if you read the others first. Thank you to N. L. Amore and Love Notes PR for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved seeing their friendship bloom in the first two books and how protective Brad was of Gabriella. Their book was enjoyable, I liked getting to know their characters more in-depth and all their emotional moments. Their friendship, trust, vulnerability about their pasts, tension, and chemistry made their story even better. However, some scenes started to feel slightly redundant (especially when their lessons suddenly stopped), and I really disliked the miscommunication that occurred in the last bit of the book. It didn't really make sense that they would stop being honest with each other or assuming the worst when they had built such a strong foundation as friends and as more. Other than that, I was happy to see the other two couples and more of Noah, and I loved the epilogues.

I adore Gabriella & Brad. These are my favourites to date! The connection between them is undeniable. The sexual connection is off the charts. The way they are both dealing with past trauma & how they both put the other first in an attempt to protect the other is so selfless but also filled me with angst. The couch scene & all that followed thou, absolute perfection - sexy, hilarious & adorable all at the same time.
The friendship & found family amongst the girls, the guys & the group as a whole is so wholesome & warming. Supportive & caring. Willing to fight for each other & to hold each other up when needed. So much love & it’s beautiful.
Thank you to N L Amore & Lovenotes PR for allowing me the pleasure of receiving an ARC copy of this book.

Another beautifully written book from this incredibly talented author. The writing, as always, was sharp, emotional, and immersive—I felt every stomach drop during the heavier dialogue scenes, and the spice? Absolutely delivered. I devoured the entire book in just two days.
That said, I did feel the pacing dragged a bit in places. In the previous book, it didn’t bother me as much, but here it felt like some straightforward communication could’ve resolved things much faster. It took the main characters a little too long to find their courage and open up, which made parts of the story feel more drawn out than necessary.
I had a similar experience with Book Two, which is why both this and that one are solid four-star reads for me. Still, a fantastic series overall!

I’ve been trying to find the right words to describe just how much I loved this book and how much Brad and Gabriella’s story got to me, but over a week since I’ve finished I still can’t find the words. @author.nlamore you continue to blow me away with your insanely beautiful and touching stories and this is only your third book! Everyone needs to read this series asap.
I knew I was going to be hooked on Gabriella and Brad instantly, I’d already fallen so in love with both of them during the first two books but wow I really wasn’t prepared for just how much I was going to feel during their story.
Their friendship was so special and strong from the start and watching that blossom into such a deep and intense love was just everything I wanted and needed! I found myself relating so much to both of them at times but gosh Gabriella what a beautiful soul she is and Brad? Damn that man just WOAH!! 🧎🏼♀️🔥
As with the rest of the series there’s the most beautiful found family that we’ve all grown to love. I feel like they my family at this point too 🥰
Thanks so much for having me in your street team I can’t wait for many more stories, I don’t know if I’m ready for Noah but I need it 🤭🩷
Also I knew no words I could come up with were going to do Brad and Gabriella justice but I tried haha

Comecei este livro, adorei, depois houve uma parte em que já não gostava tanto. Por isso parei e, quando recomecei, voltei a adorar. E isto é a maior prova que há momentos para ler cada livro 😅
Gaby nunca se sentiu boa o suficiente aos olhos dos pais, principalmente derivado a algo que se passou na sua adolescência (que eu presumi logo o que era, mas a confirmação na segunda parte do livro é de partir o coração).
Brad esconde segredos sobre o seu passado e a sua família, e por causa disso não se quer entregar a ninguem, por não conseguir dar a alguém o que a pessoa merece.
Este livro tem alguns temas pesados, pelo que aconselho a terem cuidado quando forem ler o mesmo.
Gostei bastante mesmo, confesso. Sentia a dor de ambos pelo que passaram, além de pelos personagens à volta, mas também ri muito principalmente com o Jack e a Ria, além do Noah.
Não entendi muito bem para que foi inserida a Cassidy mais para o fim, mas pronto.
