Did not disappoint!
This book couldn't have ended any better. I feel it was maybe longer than it had to be but this involved Carson, it was easier to handle...yum! I loved all the characters, even Bianca, this story had to have her. Carson though, I could never get enough of him and yes he is a CEO of a company but this isn't your 50 Shades etc...Carson is a dream, can love and loyalty be that intense? His was off the charts and his alph~ness was very pleasing for me. Time to say goodbye to my Carson, I'm going to miss him.

Well presently surprised. Most books I read it feels like they end abruptly, but that is not the case with this one. I even take back some of my review of the first book in this series and say it's not as predictable as I first thought.

I'd so been looking forward to the finale in the Forever series and let me tell you than Lan does not disappoint. It's never easy to wrap things up, ensuring all unanswered questions are resolved and that fans get the HEA that they've been wishing for with characters they love, but she hit it out of the ball park! Packed full drama, mystery and suspense, revelation of secrets, great character growth, the demise of a despicable villain, not to mention the sweet romance and steamy love we've come to expect from Carson and Lily. It's hard to review without giving away spoilers, but I for one was reduced to tears on a number of occasions, and not many books get to me in that way. I simply loved it and the ending wouldn't be out of place in a Disney film, it was magical. It was bittersweet to say goodbye to Carson, Lily, et al after so long, but the conclusion was everything I hoped that it would be. I can't wait to read the next book that Lan writes, she is an amazing author who hasn't yet realised how talented she is.

What a finish to this fantastic series. It was so satisfying. A fairytale come true. Miss Lan I take my hat off to you. I admit I did not want it to end. I wanted more. Carson I love you, you Hot Alpha God!! Lily you redeemed yourself in the end, because girl I wanted to slap you into next week when you pulled that stupid stunt. Lady I want Luke's story. As a matter of fact I want all the other hot guys in the book stories. I WANT MORE.....

Great storyline with a caveat...
Ok. This is an excellent series. The plot is perfectly well thought out, the characters are meaningful and complex without being irritating...So, what's wrong? Just a few little things would keep such a good story from irritating you while you're reading it. First, the book has a need to be edited one more time. There are some glaringly obvious grammatical mistakes, commas where they shouldn't be and the sentence structure needs to be rephrased. Second, if I see the misuse of the word "trifle" one more time I will scream! I could have overlooked it if it wasn't every other page throughout the entire book! "Omgeez" is supposed to be a cutesy thing the H says, but after the bazillionth time I wanted to backhand her. I get it, she retains her innocence and loving personality despite all odds, but she had to have matured a little at a certain point. She can stop saying it so much and I will still know that it has been a short period of time and she is still the great person we all know and love. Lastly, this is a great love story with a variety of sex scenes. Not too hot, not too cold. Good job not repeating, the author really thought this through. Okay, enjoy the book. Esteemed author, get an editor, or a new one, and ask Kindle to put a better search engine so we can limit by book length and number of reviews. I had to search for an hour to find your book. This author is supremely talented and I hope they try their hand at writing an alien world romance, quite a few of these writers can't write a well-developed romance to save their lives.

I want to write a review... mostly for myself so I can remember what I read, but to anyone reading this... Don't read the reviews, just read the book! It's brilliant!
The conclusion to Lillian Ly and Carson Bradley's story.... and boy did it deliver!
From the first page we're drawn into a vivid dream Carson's having about Lily, before plunging into the intense story of an over protective alpha male CEO trying to keep his princess safe and away from all harm and danger.
But the headstrong princess fights her beloved CEO at every turn wanting to have her freedom and be independent, she wants to attend her friend's wedding and live a normal life, but knows her fiancé is hiding something from her by being over bearing a protective. Carson has received threats on Lil's life and he's not going to back down for fear of her safety.
As well as the pressures of Lillian's safety there's also various personal issues Carson has to come to terms with, does it change his relationship with family? And Lily's family revelations too are unique, each learns about the other but cannot share with for fear of interfering with their life.
There are weddings, kidnapping, shooting, stabbing, castles, cancer, family reunions, friendships, betrayals, dinner party, hospital visits, babies and soooo much more in this book! I'm currently in book withdrawal over this, I thoroughly loved these books, they were extremely well written, the characters were engaging and there was so much happening all throughout the book.
I'm glad I finally decided to read these books 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Is it possible that there is a man out there that is as attractive, sensitive, giving, loving, thoughtful, protective, and downright sexy as Carson Bradley? And a billionaire CEO of a pharmaceutical company that is researching cancer drugs, at that? Well, if you are a fan of Lan LLP and her "Forever" books, you will know exactly what I am talking about, and will not be disappointed when you read the third book of the series. Carson is still a control freak and Lillian Ly is still tenacious, and together they are still dealing with the kidnapping of two of his researchers by an unknown group who are holding them ransom in order to get the formula for a new drug that Carson's company has developed. It could be the answer for many cancer patients. On top of that, they still have to worry about finding the proof they need that will show Bianca tried to murder Lillian, and resulted in her miscarriage. Carson is still being secretive and almost obsessed when it comes to knowing where Lil is at every minute of the day, and she is again frustrated with it, but she herself has a few secrets of her own. Their secrets and the secrets of those close to them, will slowly unweave, and they will be in for the surprise of their lives. If you are like me, you won't be able to put the book down until you know that Carson & Lillian will finally have the wonderful life that they both deserve.

Firstly the cover is just stunning and my favourite of all covers in the series, the significance of the flower is just beautiful.
I love Carson and Lilly and book three definitely gives you all the answers to the multitude of questions we are left with after books 1 and 2. I enjoyed the second half of this book much more than the first part as I felt the end sections were rushed as they were parts that I really wanted to know more about like into their future.
I loved how all the family connections were explained and we found out more with Lilly’s mum and I actually liked her at the end. Now onto her mum, perhaps just me but all through books 1 and 2 we read that she was strict and hated wealth etc. Carson comes in for the big reveal about their relationship and the big moment of explanation is over in like minutes and then she is eating out of his hand. I expected her to be a little bit more stubborn than that, did not make total sense to me.
All in all a great ending to a fantastic story line and all these books are a great size and there is lots of side stories that keep you guessing and wondering how all the players are going to fit into the end game.

All I can say is wow! This story had my heart drop no less then 20 times! It had many twists and turns that I definitely did not see coming. With all of the plot twists you did get closure and wrap up on all the story lines. I was beyond thrilled to see what happened to Bianca ;-) Carson and Lilly struggle to keep each other safe and hurt each other in the process. This is real. I love that it's not perfect and that they do what they think is best for the other, although they really need to talk to each other :-) but if they did we wouldn't have a book.
The secondary characters were no less well written then the primary. I think you could even write a spin off series on some of them. The writing was beautiful and heart felt. You really felt like you were there and apart of it all. I could not have asked for a better wrap up to a trilogy. I really want to say a few things but I don't want to give any spoilers. Just know every part of this story and its story line was well thought out to every minute detail. Lan blew this one out of the park.
Read this book and the trilogy. It's definitely romance, a little sex and suspense. It keeps you on your toes and throws you lots of curveballs. Great job with this one!!!

I have been waiting for this book to come out for what feels like forever. I have begged and pleaded with Lan to hurry up and finish my Carson and Lil's book. I told her over and over I just knew this book was going to blow me away and boy did it! Lan did not disappoint with the conclusion of Carson and Lil. In fact, I don't think she could have wrote it any better than she did. And oh how happy I was to see what evil she gave to a certain awful woman and she totally delivered in that as well. I honestly didn't think I could love this series anymore but this book really wrote it in stone for me. This series will be one I read and read and read over and over again. This was easily a 5 AMAZEBALLS stars for me!! Go read the whole series! You won't be sorry!! A copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

If like me you have been eagerly awaiting the final instalment of this series, then you will be pleased to know that you will not be disappointed, well maybe a little bit.
This book made me laugh, cry, scream and fall in love with Carson all over again, I refuse to write the storyline in my review as being a huge fan of these books I would not want to spoil the book for others. One thing that is consistent is Carson's unwavering love for Lilly.
The suspense and twists in this book made it a edge of your seat story and kept you guessing right till the end and as I mentioned above the only disappointment was that it Ended With Forever and I for one feel a bit lost without Carson and Lilly but cannot wait to see what other masterpieces Lan LLP will write next!

OMG!!!! What can I say, this final book in the forever series did not disappoint!!!! Packed full mystery, suspense, secrets, the wicked ex & most of all the sultry love that Carson & Lily share. The obstacles they've had to over come & all the on going surprises only made them stronger!!

I loved this series. It contained the 5 things needed in all series
1. Strong lead characters and supporting characters: Lillian and Carson definitely strong minded and the other characters are there every time
2. A good back story. The story is intricate and suspenseful
3. A clear villian. This book has it in spades and karma is a fickle b***h
4. Chemistry: Lil and Carson steam up the pages. Their love is so apparent you can almost touch it.
5. A satisfying conclusion: the ending tied up all loose endings and you were left smiling.
5 stars

What a beautiful conclusion to an absolutely amazing and stunning story. Truths revealed, questions answered, and justice served. Carson and Lil have grown so much over the course of this series and they truly shine in this book. There is no denying the love between these two. There are moments I was holding my breath, had tears of joy, and moments I almost could not contain my happiness. Lan has done an amazing job on this series and these characters you cannot help but to fall in love with.
June 14, 2015
Well for a first Trilogy Lan captures the imagination beautifully. this Trilogy for me is one of the best iv`e read and this final book capped it off nicely .The fabulous story line from book 1 through to book 3 was enthralling to say the least and the love and affection between Lil and Bradley certainly made it for me and held my attention to the very end. Lets hope this is going to start a Forever Future for Lans Future Books.

Loved...
What an amazing love story filled with twists and turns, trials and tribulations, a bat shit crazy ex fiance, and evil father and uncle, more omg moments than I could count, a cast of fabulous characters, and a timeless love that knows no bounds. I really would have liked to know what happened to Francine and Gabby 4 years later, but other than that I truly enjoyed this series. Looking forward to the next book from Lan LLP.

LOVED LOVED LOVED the conclusion to Bradley and Lillian's story. On the edge of my seat, biting my lip the entire time while all the pieces fell into place. There were so many parts of this story that I didn't see coming that I read several parts twice to make sure it was really happening. I love the intensity of love they have for each other and everyone that is in their lives. This was a great way to end their love story.
