BOOK 1: FOREVER INNOCENT
A Top 100 Book on Amazon

"Our baby died on prom night, and nothing was ever the same again."

Corabelle doesn't feel like any of the other college girls. On what should have been one of the happiest nights of her life, she and her boyfriend Gavin watched a nurse disconnect the ventilator from their seven-day-old baby. During the funeral two days later, Gavin walked out and never returned.

Since then, her life has been a spiral of disasters. The only thing that has helped is her ability to black out whenever the pain gets too hard to bear, a habit that has become an addiction.

When Gavin shows up in her astronomy class four years later, he is hell-bent on getting her back, insisting she forgive him. Corabelle knows she can't resist the touch that fills the empty ache that has haunted her since he left. But if he learns what she has done, if he follows the trail back through her past, her secrets will destroy their love completely. And once again, she'll lose the only person who always believed she was innocent.

"Did I cry? Oh yeah, but not for the same reasons as before. Will this book stay on my shelf for years to come! You betcha!" -- 2 Bookaholics

After four long years of separation, Gavin has finally reunited with his childhood love Corabelle. She’s forgiven him for leaving her during the funeral of their seven-day-old baby.

But a message from Rosa, a prostitute he met during their time apart, brings his life to a crashing halt. She claims Gavin has fathered a son. He doesn’t know if he can trust Rosa, or if his delicate reconciliation with Corabelle can withstand the shock if it is true.

Corabelle believes their future together is the right thing despite their past. But when she learns of this other child, the one thing she lost long ago and might never have again with Gavin, Corabelle’s faith that her life will ever follow her old dream is shattered. To make things right for Gavin and his son, she just might have to let go of the only person she always believed would be her forever love.

BOOK 3: FOREVER SHELTERED

"Hooked me from Chapter 1." -- Fire and Ice Book Reviews
"Put this on your TBR list and bump it to the top." -- Eat Sleep Read Blog

Tina would rather sew up her girl parts with dental floss than go on a second date with a man. She's been dumped enough to know not to get attached.

But when Dr. Darion Marks comes into her art therapy room to ask a favor for a special patient, Tina recognizes the haunted look he buries beneath his stoic professionalism. So rather than be forced to ditch the handsome doctor after a single night, she decides not to date him at all.

So how exactly DO they end up half-naked in Surgical Suite B?

Dr. Darion has a lot to hide. His baby sister is the only family he has left, and he’s not leaving her treatment to some incompetent hack.

Forever innocent

Corabelle and Gavin grew up together. Only really had each other. Were each other's first on everything. Until something so horribly sad breaks them apart for 4 years. Each other having done something they cannot get over. They blamed themselves for too long. Has it been to long to get over it and except it??? Need to read great story. On to the next book.

Forever loved

Corabelle and Gavin are sorta over their reuniting road blocks trying to move on and find happiness again after their sad loss. When corabelle doesn't want to seek help for her painful past finds it in an unexpected friendship she met through a doctor.

Book #1: Forever Innocent
I LOVED THIS BOOK! It was so much different than the typical romance plot and full of emotion. Be aware that it is a tear jerker. Every scene that described the past and the baby that died just did me in.

I give this installment 4 out of 5 stars.

Description: Corabelle doesn't feel like any of the other college girls. On what should have been one of the happiest nights of her life, she and her boyfriend Gavin watched a nurse disconnect the ventilator from their seven-day-old baby. During the funeral two days later, Gavin walked out and never returned.

Corabelle knows she can't resist the touch that fills the empty ache that has haunted her since he left. But if he learns what she has done, if he follows the trail back through her past, her secrets will destroy their love completely. And once again, she'll lose the only person who always believed she was innocent.

Book #2: Forever Innocent
This was a good conclusion to Gavin and Corabelle’s story. I personally wasn’t crazy about the whole prostitute and illegitimate child thing but powered through because I had to know how it ended.

I give this installment 3 out of 5 stars.

Description: After four long years of separation, Gavin has finally reunited with his childhood love Corabelle. She’s forgiven him for leaving her during the funeral of their seven-day-old baby.

Book #3: Forever Sheltered
This book hooked me from the beginning. I found Tina to be one of the most interesting side characters from the first two installments so I was super pumped to read her story and Dr. Darion is adorable. The only negative thing I have to say about this book was that when the author constantly switches back and forth between viewpoints it takes a lot of the mystery out of the story. We knew all the characters secrets before the other characters did.

I give this installment 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Description: Tina would rather sew up her girl parts with dental floss than go on a second date with a man. She's been dumped enough to know not to get attached.

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

Corabelle and Gavin suffered a loss no one ever should. That was the beginning of the end for them. Gavin left and Corabelle was left to pick up the pieces. Alone. They both go through their own personal hell and four years later they end up in the same astronomy class. Convinced it's some kind of fate, Gavin tries to win Corabelle back. There are plenty of bumps in the road. Neither one are perfect but just when it seems they are getting back on track, a monster speed bump threatens their happiness. Is their love strong enough?

Forever Innocent and Forever Loved is story about two people that suffer a loss and lose their love and each other only to be given a second chance. The author did a wonderful job on the characters. I've grown attached to them. I feel like I know them. It's like I experienced everything they went through. Definite feels here!


Forever Sheltered is Tina's story. You meet her in Corabelle's book. Tina has also suffered a loss. She has her art degree but wasn't sure what she was going to do next. When a job opens up at a hospital she takes it. Helping people through art can't be bad. Tina meets Darion and all the rules she's lived by slowly get broken.

Can I say I love Tina?! Like I said before, the author does a fantastic job with these characters! I feel like Tina and I are friends. Not at all weird right? I found myself unable to stop and finished this in one sitting. I enjoyed all three books and you will too! I can't wait to read more from this author! I give these all 5 stars

Forever Innocent is the story of Corabelle and Gavin. This story pulls at your heart strings and deals with the loss of a baby. Gavin and Corabelle were the "it" couple in their hometown. They were happy and in love. When the baby dies their relationship crumbles. Four years later, Corabelle and Gavin are reunited. Can Corabelle and Gavin reconnect? Or does Corabelle still feel betrayed and can not forget Gavin. This is their second chance at romance. You will have to read to find out what happens. You will need tissues, this is a very emotional read. I enjoyed this book!!!

Gavin and Corabelle's story continues in Forever Loved.
This book has a huge shocker in it. Corabelle's walls go back up and she feels betrayed by Gavin once again. I wasn't expecting how this book ended. This book is real and the emotions between the characters are there. This book is fantastic! I am happy a third book is out so we can read more from Gavin and Corabelle.

Forever Sheltered is the story of Tina and Darion. This story deals with REAL situations that can happen in our everyday lives. We also get more from Gavin and Corabelle. Deanna Roy did a fantastic job on all the situations in each of these books. This book ended the series very well. I was very happy with the ending. These three books in the Forever Series will stay with me for a long time. I highly recommend these books!!!!!

This book really captures your heart. It is wrote from the first person accounts of the main characters. The leading ladies had lost a child due to being born early, each child was alive and died in their mothers arms.

These books were like what could go wrong with an relationship could and would...some almost to the point of destroying their love. These books will have you crying and laughing at different points in the book. I loved it.

Great!

I loved all three stories. It was very touching with what Gavin and Corabelle had to go through with the lose of there baby and what they had to go through. I'm glad everything worked out into the end.
With Darion and Tina they had a little bit of a struggle, but it all came together. Cynthia got better. Darion's dad came around. I loved all the stories.
GREAT!
