XOXO, Forever
I said yes to forever.
But forever doesn’t come wrapped in perfection.
It comes in chaos, in fire, and in a collar around my throat.
Adam is my safe place.
My Dominant.
My storm.
With him, I don’t have to be strong.
I just have to be his.
But when everything we planned turns to ash —
When the wedding, the promises, the future we imagined all unravel?
We’re forced to choose something wilder. Deeper. Ours.
Love like this doesn’t follow rules.
It wrecks them.
And in the wreckage, we find something unbreakable.
This isn’t the story of a perfect wedding.
It’s the story of what we became when the world fell apart.
And how we chose each other anyway.
But forever doesn’t come wrapped in perfection.
It comes in chaos, in fire, and in a collar around my throat.
Adam is my safe place.
My Dominant.
My storm.
With him, I don’t have to be strong.
I just have to be his.
But when everything we planned turns to ash —
When the wedding, the promises, the future we imagined all unravel?
We’re forced to choose something wilder. Deeper. Ours.
Love like this doesn’t follow rules.
It wrecks them.
And in the wreckage, we find something unbreakable.
This isn’t the story of a perfect wedding.
It’s the story of what we became when the world fell apart.
And how we chose each other anyway.

XOXO, Forever
by Elle Sparrow (XOXO Series – Book 3)
“For you – the good girl who dreamed of forever on her knees, with his ring on your finger and his rules in your heart.”
- Elle Sparrow
The love cycle has come full circle for the main characters of the third and final book in the XOXO Series by Elle Sparrow, entitled XOXO, Forever. Willow and Adam have gone through the gamut of emotions and relationship challenges, and now it is their time to live, enjoy and prepare for their future. Or is it?
Willow’s character continues to evolve and mature. She is still a strong, sassy, capable woman, but now she is gaining confidence; confidence in herself, but more so in her relationship with Adam. I love what the author has done with the three books in this series with regards to Willow. She is constantly growing and maturing. She overcomes personal battles and learns to trust in herself and “the process”. And in this book, she is now tackling one of life’s greatest challenges – a Wedding! Sparrow injects a new vibe into this book which was an absolute joy as far as I’m concerned – Humor! I can remember my wedding experiences, and most of them were laughing so didn’t cry. I found great parallels between myself and Willow. I connected with her, as I think other readers will as well. As for Adam, let’s just say he too has matured. He and Willow seem to “dance” well through the entire Wedding experience; he leads when necessary, and she is in step with him the entire way. The twists and turns during this dance just add to the chaos and unpredictability of a wedding scenario, making it even more fun for the reader.
Elle Sparrow has hit this story out of the park! It was unpredictable and crazy, just as a good wedding experience should be. The story has substance and will allow readers to really connect, along with still carrying Sparrow’s insane degree of heat. Nothing is perfect, especially when it comes to a wedding. But in this final book of the trilogy, “Happily Ever After” isn’t an ending, it’s the beginning of an amazing, relatable Romance.
Special Note – It is very important that this book be read after book 1 and 2 of this trilogy.
Favorite Quote – “That’s the thing, Willow. This feels like life or death, but at the end of the day, none of it actually matters. Not the napkins, not the signature cocktails, not even the freaking peonies. It’s about you and my dad. That’s it. The rest is just noise.” – Elle Sparrow, “XOXO, Forever”
Plot – Reality and unpredictability of Chaos. Two people fall in love and find their way through tough situations.
Spice Level – 🌶 🌶 🌶🌶
Tropes – BDSM, DDlg, Age Play, Grumpy/Sunshine, Wedding Fiasco, Collaring Ceremony
Favorite Parts – My favorite part of the book was the use of realistic humor to cut the edge off the tension of wedding planning.
Triggers – BDSM, Sexual Content, Age Gap and Age Regression

XOXO, Forever is a DDlg (Daddy Dom little girl) spicy, BDSM age gap romance. This is the third book in Sparrow's XOXO series which features Willow (Princess) Ashford and Adam (Daddy) Stone. Please read them in order.
Willow and Adam are getting married and it is no small affair. The two are having a destination wedding and Willow is organizing it all. While she could have hired a wedding planner, it is incredibly important to her that she bring her perfect wedding to life both for herself but also for Adam. Of course, no matter how much she prepares, she cannot expect the unexpected and several hurdles present themselves. Willow has some difficult lessons to learn but fortunately she has some wonderful people in her life on whom she can lean - her best friends Alyssa and Layla, her mother Helen, and of course her fiancé Adam.
In addition to the delicious spice, Sparrow also includes some heartwarming and moving passages in this book. I was especially moved by her open and honest conversation with her mother where she revealed truths about herself while remaining terrified of her mother's reaction and opinions. I thought that chapter was beautifully written and likely a comfort to anyone who anyone who shares her fears and concerns. I also adored the depth of emotion portrayed in the chapter where Adam surprises Willow with a touching and poignant ceremony. Sparrow made it abundantly clear how much Adam and Willow adore one another and are committed to each other.
Sparrow definitely delivered a highly emotional and moving conclusion for this couple. I loved every minute of it and would definitely recommend you check out this trilogy.

What an amazing roller coasters of a crazy lovable ending for these wonderful characters I couldn’t imagine staying calm during all the unexpected events that happen in this book. It was had not to feel bad for this epic couple they been through so many ups and downs and the universe I guess wasn’t done testing their abilities to stay strong and rely on each other it personally drove me crazy they deserve so much happiness! This story is full of heartbreak, heart felt moments I couldn’t get enough of all amazing patient Adam continues to show alongside his unique understanding of how best to help his lovely obsessive princess. I personally want to go all crazy on Adam’s old partner she made me so mad in every way possible as you can probably tell this book brought out a lot of emotions out for me so much to enjoy among other things. I especially love the steamy scenes the couple came up with they made laugh and kinda want to try to do some someday maybe with my future person! I always felt like I could relate to Willow character especially with her inner struggles with herself along with letting her emotions out the part were Adam helped her with this really stood out to me. There are so many wonderful things in this book from understanding what’s truly important, letting your true self out no matter what other people might think, self growth in the best way possible. It’s a amazing read you don’t want to miss Elle did a awesome job with the ending I couldn’t be more happy with how this series ended!

Wow! This is really Willow’s story. I thought book two in this series was emotional. This one was probably even more so because the emotion was centred around Willow and her own self doubts. Adam and Willow are finally getting married, but it seems, to Willow, that no matter what she does, it will not result in the wedding of her dreams or the wedding she believes Adam expects. And as each day brings them closer to the ceremony, things begin to unravel. And as things unravel, Willow seems to drown a bit more in her doubts that she is good enough for Adam or that she has disappointed her mother. Thankfully, Adam is strong enough for both of them and he will do whatever he must to help her through the quagmire they find themselves in.
This story is proof that Adam is totally committed to Willow. (I still had some doubts after the second book). He made promised to Willow in Book 2 and I was so happy to see that he followed through with those promised. After the relationship challenges, they had had in Book2, I had wondered if things might slide. I was so happy to see that they did not and that their relationship was a hundred times better. I was very relieved to see that Adam had committed himself wholly to Willow and he protected her, even against herself it seems. Such an emotional book, but a great ending to this amazing series.
PS This is not a stand-alone book. You do need to read the first two to understand this story.

XOXO Forever is book 3 in The XOXO trilogy. I recommend starting the series from the beginning as the characters, events and storyline continue from book to book as we follow these fascinating characters in their DDlg relationship.
I have read many books by Elle Sparrow and this one was satisfying in the story itself as it wraps up the XOXO series but there were a lot of unexpected editing errors, repetition and some pretty big continuity issues within the storyline itself. Maybe there was no Beta reader or editor for this volume but I felt like these things were a bit distracting. I still enjoyed the characters and their journey and I am glad I saw it through to the end of their story.
I will definitely still read plenty more of Elle Sparrow’s books because this seems unusual. I love her writing style and open subject matter that always makes things exciting and interesting!

Oh Yeah! What an ending to this amazing trilogy!
I am drawn to this trope.
It so interesting.
So captivating.
So outside my norm.
But, this is why I read stories like Adam and Willow's!
I want to be challenged.
I want to feel uncomfortable.
I want to tingle.
I want to squirm.
I want to live vicariously through the characters!
Though I don't practice this k!nk, I am very much drawn to it!
Sometimes letting go, and letting someone else take care of everything, well...
Ms. Sparrow wrote an amazing, emotional, steamy trilogy.
If you're ready to read about an amazing Daddy and his Little; look no further and start at book one!

I loved this series... the emotions and the characters growing and adapting as they weave being a couple and a life style they both need and want is such a great reading experience. The characters obstacles never to big. The emotions and stress as this series concludes is intense and I loved how they met each other halfway and made everything fall in to place.
I hated the side characters that tried to stir the pot but it was a great thing because it showed the integrity and respect of the couple. It made it real and raw.
Great read!

XOXO, Forever is the final installment of the XOXO trilogy which has to be read in order. Despite everything Adam and Willow have already been through on their way to a HEA, even their way down the aisle presents challenges. And so this 3rd part of their story combines steamy sexy times, opening up about their dynamic and standing tall against all odds before finally getting their big day in the sun. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

First up, look at the triggers to make sure that you don't have any.
This book was AWESOME. Two people that thought they wouldn't meet anyone are getting married. Now Willow has to face all the insecurities and problems that come up while trying to plan for the wedding of the century. There are a lot. Trying to make sure that she doesn't loose herself or Adam in the process. It is intense and full of love.

My review of this lovely third edition in the series expresses my excitement about joining Willow and Adam on their new journey. They are preparing for their wedding, which is undoubtedly a significant milestone in both of their lives. Their journey only promises to get better from here.

Sweet characters but timeline issues
I liked the characters in this story but I feel like it got repetitive and there are a lot of timeline issues that needed to be edited. There are characters who appear and then disappear but should be important. It needed some more editing to make it flow better because those things took me out of the story. I cared for the characters and shed a few tears for the struggles but would have liked it more with some better editing.

Thank you so much Elle for this E-ARC!
I really wanted to love this book as much as I loved the previous two 💕
But unfortunately it did fall a bit short for me.
I think their dynamic evolution was beautiful and I loved seeing Adam be there for Willow unconditionally.
Willow unfortunately really annoyed me in this book ): I feel horrible saying that bc I love her sm but she was making me so annoyed every chapter!
I appreciated that her and Adam kept communicating through everything

We have come to the last part of the XOXO trilogy. The journey that Willow and Adam made together had many ups and downs to get their HEA. The storyline and the characters made you care about them and keep your attention on your book and their story. Highly recommended to read, it is a trilogy that you have to read in order.

This was a beautiful ending for Willow and Adam! I felt all of the emotions while reading this book. Seeing Willow struggle with everything was so relatable. And the growth of all the characters was incredible and the drama, love and joy that was written for the characters was the best. Still not into the DD/LG kink, but I enjoyed reading this entire series.

I am a little IRL and this series? Makes me feel SEEN. It’s so accurate to the lifestyle, and exactly how having a Daddy should be. These books IMMEDIATELY put me into little space, and my daddy also loves them!
It’s been amazing seeing willow and Adam’s journey, and being with them for it. This is the PERFECT ending to their story, even if it gets a bit… rough.

Willow and Adam have been through so much. Now their big day was coming up. Many ups and downs, someone from the past shows up, bad weather happens. Willow must learn and trust Adam to give her what she needs. Sad ti see this end but was so good.

The perfect finish to this series! I have loved every moment of this series! This right here is how you write a true bdsm romance! As someone in that community, I love seeing an accurate portrayal of how bdsm is! I hate that the series is over but so glad I got to read it!

What a great ending to Willow's and Adam's story. I really fell in love with these characters over the series, and I hate to see it end. It was an emotional journey as they deal with the unexpected events in this book.

Book 1 was the perfect length.
Book 2 was drawn out but readable.
Book 3? Wayyy too drawn out and tons of filler chapters that add nothing to the story. A wedding does not need 300 pages.

Oh my this book was raw, passionate and chaos in the best way. I was so involved in this story I finished it and started it again in case I missed something. Amazing!

Willow and Adam's conclusion is filled with a lot of emotional scenes and so much heart and love! Loved this from Book 1 all the way through to this one! Steamy, sexy fun!

Received as an ARC.
🖤 Final in the trilogy
🖤 Age gap
🖤 Grumpy x Sunshine
🖤 Wedding fiasco
🖤 BD$M
🖤 Best friend’s Dad
🖤 Touch her and 💀
🖤 Aftercare
🖤 Collaring ceremony
XOXO, Forever is exactly the kind of wild, steamy ride it promises to be, and then some. Elle Sparrow brings the heat, but also surprises with a lot of heart, tackling themes like love, power dynamics, and personal growth with a playful (and occasionally blush-worthy) touch.
Adam and Willow’s relationship is far from ordinary, and that’s the fun of it. Things get kinky, but it’s all handled with care; consent and communication are front and center. Even when the characters are making messy choices (and they do!), it’s part of what makes them feel real. The side characters bring the laughs and help balance the intensity.
If you’re in the mood for something bold, sexy, and a little bit emotional, XOXO, Forever totally delivers. It’s spicy, sweet, and doesn’t hold back….just make sure to peek at those content warnings before diving in.

Willow and Adam’s story was absolutely wonderful. I could relate to so much in this story. They had their ups and downs. But the outcome was fantastic. This book had me feeling what the characters were feeling. It was so well written. Highly recommend! It is a DD/lg romance!

XOXO, Forever by Elle Sparrow is the most beautiful ending to Adam and Willow’s journey. When a storm destroys their dream wedding, they don’t fall apart… they find something even stronger. In the middle of the chaos, they choose each other all over again with a collaring ceremony that’s raw, intimate, and absolutely breathtaking. It’s not the day they planned, but it’s everything they needed. This story isn’t about perfection, it’s about love that holds steady when everything else falls apart. And in that wreckage, they build something unbreakable.
