About the author
Ryleigh Andrews
7 books626 followersNerd turned writer. The force is strong in this girl.
During the day, Ryleigh is an analyst, but even then, she’s writing, sneakily crafting scenes on post-it notes. She's been told she's a bit of a geek...some say nerd. She'll agree to it all. She loves music. It's been a force in her life for as long as she can remember. Her love of Star Wars and superheroes has probably been going on just as long...see, this is where the geek/nerd thing comes into play. But, most of all, Ryleigh loves the written word. She's been writing for a long time. Her first story came to her during one of her history classes. She wrote it in the margins of her notebook in teeny tiny letters so no one knew that she was writing a book instead of taking notes on 16th Century Europe. She currently lives in Chicago, Illinois, with her husband and son, along with her Siberian Husky, Mick Jagger, and her cat, Winston Churchill.

I REALLY enjoyed this series, the ups and the downs of their lives made a good story which was emotionally fullfilling!
I loved ALL the characters, which happens very rarely for me, so YAY a bonus!!

WHEW! Finally, I reached the end to Mia and Ethan's highly angst-ridden and struggling romance. This one left me feeling like I had been beaten with a stick - worn out and literally frazzled. I read all three books in this series back-to-back which is the way I usually prefer to read a series. However, this one might have been served me better with a little break in between books.
It appears I am in the minority with my feelings toward this story. I had way too many issues with the lead female, Mia, from the very beginning. It should have been a warning. As the plot deepened, I also had extreme reality issues with a large portion of Mia's life. Her actions and behavior were repetitively selfish, self-centered and all about her and what she wanted and needed. Throughout it was a rewind of rote sexual behavior over and over without feelings for anyone else. Mia seemed to demand reinforcements and stepped way over the boundaries of friendship and what she expected from her "friends." Her expectations from Ethan and what she gave in return were way out of whack in my opinion. She could dish out the dirt, but Ethan wasn't allowed the same. And I'm not making excuses for Ethan because he made some rather bad choices as well -- but not nearly to the point of in your face all the time like Mia. She set so many boundaries for Ethan but all the fences were down where she was concerned.
Basically there was a good plot idea but it just didn't quite get the message across in a believable manner. Lots of needless filler of retakes without anything new or refreshing to move the story along. Three books could easily have been cut to two -- or may just one long novel.
After all is said and done, the wrap up was satisfactory but left one important lingering question that this reader was disappointed in not getting the answer. I stuck with it -- so that tells you that the author kept the intrigue going enough that I had to see the story through to the end.

I knew I would be in for ALL THE FEELS when I started this book but oh... I still didn't manage to mentally prepare myself. It's beautiful. It's tragic. It was up, and it was so far down in the pits of despair. I cried like a baby. Do not read this in public, there will be snot and awkward glances from strangers.
I should have known things couldn't just be simple for Mia and Ethan, although if anyone deserves a happily ever after it's definitely them. Mia just can't get her depression under control, and she just can't seem to learn how to communicate. Then Ethan does the unthinkable... Ahhh, ugly cry warning!
On a lighter note, yay for Luke and Allie! I absolutely love them, and was so glad they were featured so heavily in this book. There are way to many possible spoilers so I'm keeping details to a minimum here. Just be comforted in knowing there will be happiness before it's over, and it will be hard earned.
As with the first two, this was a one sitting read. I was 30 minutes late to work because I refused to let go of these characters until I saw how it ended. This was such a beautiful conclusion to a wonderful series, but I have to admit, I hope there will be more! ~ George, 5 stars

Review by Lisa Kane
This last installment of Mia and Ethan's story delivered on the angst and drama. I was not a fan of Mia's in the second book, (her constant excuses for delaying a reunion with Ethan snapped my last nerve!) but in this book, Ethan is the one I wanted to bitch slap.
The two should have it all. They are finally reunited, have a family and their careers are in a good place. But they are dealt a devastating blow which has a domino effect.
I'm not sure this couple ever really resolved Mia's abuse issues. She's had relapses, especially when she's been on tour and the blow back has always been a nightmare. Mia has a tendency to just barrel through life while avoiding the pain that sucks her into a dark vortex. But when she does this, she doesn't realize she alienates Ethan and those around her. This time is no exception.
Ethan has his own insecurities. He has never really trusted Todd and his imagination runs wild. Picturing Mia and Todd giving in to their attraction for one another leads to bad things. Messed up things. Things that Mia and Ethan may never recover from-I had problems with trusting Ethan after he went out with Kristen while dating Mia in book one, this time around-I wanted to drop kick him. Where the hell was his brain?
Secrets have a tendency to be revealed; usually because most people feel guilt and remorse and can't hide the things they are ashamed of. Ethan is a good guy at heart, and he can't let things fester. BOOM! Will things ever be the same between them again? There are lots of tears and heartache and self pity. But there are also a few "aha" moments of clarity in their story. Those moments when the light bulb goes on and the characters think about their own actions and how they may have contributed to the clusterf#*k that their lives have become.
Mia and Ethan since day one have had a tough ride. Things have never come easy for them and yet at the end of the day there is love. The question is-is love enough? We can forgive but can we forget?
I think this last installment, for me, was the best. It had the most depth to the characters. They are far from perfect creatures but for the first time I felt that they had no choice but to confront their problems. No running away this time, no escape into drugs or sex or alcohol. There were lots of honest, raw moments where each was exposed and nothing was hidden. Those are the times that they were the most vulnerable and I think that's why this book worked so well.

Actual Rating: 4.5 Beautiful Stars!
“I’m working on me…slow but sweetly.
I will find my way…slow but sweetly.
Baby, I’ll love you…slow but sweetly.
I’ll love you, my dear…endlessly.
Baby, please don’t turn away from me.
Remember I’ll love you…slow but sweetly.”
Wow! What an incredible read! Never Over You was a fantastic follow up to Still Into You and will leave you breathless. You won’t know whether you want to be happy, sad or mad; maybe a little of both…
Never Over You picks up right where the last book left off. Mia and Ethan are finally getting to start their forever, but life has other plans in store for them. Mia and Ethan’s relationship will be tested in ways neither of them ever thought possible. And when it’s all said and done, you’ll be wondering, Is love enough?
From the moment I started reading this book, I was hooked. I could not put it down. I devoured each word. I was hooked on Mia and Ethan. I wanted to see them happy and enjoying their happily ever after. However, their story had it’s fair share of ups and downs. The trials that Mia and Ethan faced were so relateable, so easy to understand. They both hurt each other badly. Some ways more obvious then the others. Their emotions so palpable, so consuming. My heart went out to the both of them as they tried to work past the pain and despair. I found myself cheering them on, wanting them to fight for their family, their love, their HEA. Their story filled me with so much love, hope, anger and frustration. There was a time I even felt like throwing my kindle-that’s how much their story effected me.
Never Over You was beautifully written and captivating. This is a story about forgiveness, hope, love, strength and facing your fears. It had just the right amount of angst, drama, romance and frustration. I’m sad that Mia and Ethan’s story is over, but couldn’t be happier with the way things turn out. I can not wait to read more from this author in the future.

I had a long review and it didn't save. Ugh....I hate that! It was so though out and explained how I felt about this book and this series. So now I'll repeat it but I'm sure it won't be the same. First, I'll say that I read all 3 books in a row which I usually like to do in a series that is all about the same couple. I can't stand waiting for the next books to come out to continue the stories. In this case, if I had had a break I may not have continued to read it because of the issues I had with the main character, Mia. I loved the first book because it was when they met and fell in love. In the second book, I was really bothered with Mia's action, decisions, selfishness, and just everything. She completely brought the story down for me and poor Ethan just kept trying and trying to reach her. And this 3rd book, while better than book 2 didn't live up to book 1. I just didn't like it much. Mia's issues with depression, selfishness and lack of communication continue which lead to Ethan having issues as well and both of them making really bad choices. After a while I got tired of reading about Mia and her thoughts and issues. However, even with Ethan's bad choices I still continued to love him....him being the real reason why I kept reading. I'll say outright that if you followed the series and have read the first book, second book or both that you should finish the series. I don't regret finishing this story. I liked it....I just didn't love it, and I really needed the closure. I needed to know how it ended. You will too.

Ethan and Mia's journey and what a struggle it has been. We pick up where we left off in Still into You and just go. This was raw and rough and the detail it's overwhelming at times. Mia has some serious issues to face and does she. Ethan I was so mad at him so in love with him ."I'm not going to let you fall never again I promise you that "

I have been waiting what seems like forever but in reality has only been a few months for this book. Ryleigh Andrews has had me all over the place with this series and with the heartbreaking yet hopeful way the previous book ended I knew I was in for quite the ride with Never Over You. Thankfully this picks up right where the previous book left off. This book needs to be read after the others in the series so that you can fully grasp the complexities of all that is Mia and Ethan.
I was so happy for them. The future looked bright and promising but nothing is ever easy for the rock star and her football playing man. Their lives went from light and easy and full of laughter to tense, nervous and full of anxiety. I liked that, once again, everyone rallied around them. Luke and Allie were there to pull their best friends back to the here and now. I swear those two together are magical. When they're on they can't be stopped and when they're off it is as if the world is ending; because for them it is. Things took another unexpected turn for the worse when tragedy strikes the couple again. Mia is drowning in guilt and Ethan is wallowing in his own pain and instead of leaning on each other they withdrawal further and further. Gah! My heart broke for them both. I wanted to crawl into my kindle, lock them in a room together so they would just talk to one another. They keep distancing themselves and here comes the next, and possibly biggest shocker of all...Ethan messes up.
While I absolutely hate what he did (with a fiery passion) I loved that he was the one who was flawed in this book. He was the one who had to fight his way back to who he wanted to be for himself and for Mia. Because the one thing he never wavered on, even when everything else was uncertain was that he wanted his life with her. What I liked more than his sweet and thoughtful gestures was that Mia made him work for it. Yes, she wanted the same thing he did but wasn't sure if she could risk her heart only to lose again. One of the best parts of the whole debacle was the night in the basement with the band. Oh man, the things you learn about Mia and the rest of the gang...It could've gone either way. As it turns out, it was just the push Mia needed to make her choice and reveal the secret she had been keeping (its a good one, I promise).
With each book in this series, Ryleigh Andrews' writing got better and better. She was able to balance the drama and angst (so much angst) with sexiness, humor and suga. She had my emotions all over the place. I felt everything from love to hate to fear, hope and happiness and everything in between. Never Over You answers a lot of questions. Whats more, it gave a few hints about some of the other characters that I've grown to love as well. The only thing that stood out to me as needing a touch more was the ending. I felt it was a little rushed. That in no way, however, detracts from the overall beauty of the story. And that epilogue was perfectly Ethan and Mia! Oh, how I'm going to miss them. I can not fully express how much I loved this series and the conclusion to the Mia and Ethan saga. I truly hope to see them again somewhere down the line (In Luke's book maybe- please).

This review was originally posted on Cocktails and Books
The Never Over You series was one hell of an emotional roller coaster. Mia and Ethan were the king and queen of miscommunication, which resulted in us following them for several years as Mia spiraled out of control because one or both of them refused to open their mouth about exactly how they felt. It was frustrating a lot of the time, but by the time we get to the end of book 3 we discover that despite everything they had gone through this couple fought for their HEA and learned what they needed to do to ensure their relationship never faltered again.
For most of the series, Mia's life was in constant chaos. She was living her dream, but at the same time her demons did a hell of a job pulling her under. She bravely fought those demons, but when things between her and Ethan hit a rough patch, she generally let the demons pull her under. It's hard to follow someone as they self destruct, but you hope at some point that self destruction is going to serve as a wake up call to that person. That was the case with Mia. It was hard for Ethan to stand by as the love of his life falter, for Luke to see his best friend destroy herself and for her bandmates to worry about what she was doing. As I read the middle part of the series, I was right there with them. Wondering when Mia was going to get it together. She eventually does, but I knew as she fought to overcome everything, she was going to have to learn how to battle back those demons when life threw her a curve ball.
Ethan and Mia's relationship had it's fair share of bumps caused by Mia, but towards the end of the series, it's Ethan that threw things into chaos. His inability to communicate with Mia, talk about how he really feels during certain situations, led to a huge breakdown in their relationship. It was during this breakdown that we saw just how strong Mia had become. Ethan was the strong one. The one that was Mia's support line. But with her trust in Ethan shaky, she proved she could be strong for herself and for her family, if she's fighting for the right thing.
This was an interesting series. It had me on a bit of a rollercoaster, with moments where I was happy, pissed off or wondering what the hell was going on. Author Ryleigh Andrews took us on a journey with Ethan and Mia. They had real problems. Real struggles. And in the end, showed how a real couple has to work at their relationship, no matter how much love they have.
This was a great Facebook recommendation. A series I'm glad I read.

One would think a three-book story of the same characters will be dragging and over-emphasized. I did at first, I have to admit. But Ryleigh Andrews carried this heartbreaking, soul-stirring masterpiece with such artistry that made it so beautifully written and so wonderfully poignant.
Journeying into Mia and Ethan's story was a roller-coaster ride of heartbreaks and being pieces back together. Their story is so raw, so real, so utterly felt that each scene seeped right into me. I have to give to Miss Ryleigh on this one, this is my favorite book in the series.
The character development is AAAHH-MAZING and the plot progress was gripping! She definitely knows how to keep a reader inside a book until she's done reading it. I loved how she set an equilibrium in the book, mixing in wonderful bits of humor, love, heartbreaks, and lessons. Her characters are stuck in my head and I love each of them dearly. There was so much pain in this book, but it was equated with the strong bond and love of the characters. I am a fucking mess while reading this book. I cried, I laughed, I got angry, I fell in love, I broke, gah, I felt everything! The scenes are real, no sugar coatings. Mia's struggles are real, and someone out there is suffering the way she had and hopefully have the same support system she had in this story. I loved how this book stuck with the real life scenarios and somehow refrained from expected and ideal romance courses. I’m in love with all the characters and are totally fond of all of them! I can’t wait for Miss Ryleigh’s next story!

Oh this book! Okay, so, Bring Me You and Still Into You brought F5 level tears for me. This book....this one equals a village leveling Tsunami that comes on strong and out of nowhere!
Amazing things you want and some you would never expect to get. I still have the chills after reading it quite a few times. These damn parts with the holy feels are epic to me.
I love every single one of these books wholeheartedly, they are special, each in their own right.
Mia and Ethan have definitely been through it all. Will they stay that way? What will happen?
I will not spoil so you must read this and find out!!
I miss the hell out these characters and they hold a place in my heart.

Mia and Ethan. I fell in love with them. I have hated them. I have cried with them, over them.
Now...they are done. Its bittersweet.
I really do hate giving this only three stars. I liked it. But I really did not "love" this finale. And it depresses me. I thought I would. No...I KNEW I would. Unfortunately, Mia got on my nerves a lot in this book. And the birthday party scene just was not cool. At all. It was added hype and I just want to shake everyone in the room and yell "WHYYYYYYY" I was not a fan. My expectations for this book just fell flat. :(
They have their happy ending so the end result is still a good one for me. And no matter what...I will always love Ethan!

This is the third book, and sadly the last, in the Never Over You series. You’ll fall in love with these characters just like I did. Ethan is the star quarterback of The Flash and Mia is a rising singer with her band Last star. Of course there are many other main characters but these two are the stars!
This one started right where the last book ended. Ethan and Mia are finally starting to get their happily ever after…after all the heart ache and trouble they went through to get where they are now.
Until one event that happened that could change both their worlds forever, something that’s suppose to be a happy event….one single event can change everything.
“I love you, suga,” Ethan said, his lips lightly pressed against that spot where her ear and cheek met. “Thank you for staying with me.”
Ethan has always been one of my favorite male leads, just his devotion to Mia no matter what, his love for her is so amazing (it’s seriously stuff you never see in real life! Haha), he would literally do anything for her!
Ethan makes this one decision that could totally ruin his relation with Mia…I was so upset about this…this was not the Ethan I fell in love with, that Ethan would never do this, especially to the love of his life…ever!
“I do.”
“Say it. Please,” he begged, the tears spilling from his eyes.
“I love you, Ethan,” she spoke quietly and then backed her car out of the garage and made her way to Luke’s for the fourth time today.
Now the only thing remaining is…will they be able to overcome this one horrible thing? Will Mia be able to forgive Ethan? Is everything that they both have worked so hard for destroyed? Or will they finally get their HEA?!?
This one had my emotions all over the place…scared, sad, angry, happy, and relieved! Jealousy is a very real and scary emotion…this causes them a lot of heart ache. Plus, communication is so important in any relationship…it could have changed some of the major events if they had just talked to each other!! I found this one very hard to put down…I HAD to know how it ended!
This is a must read series…if you haven’t read it you definitely should! It’s a series with so much heart…you can tell Ryleigh Andrews put her heart and soul into this and it totally paid off!
I’m really going to miss Ethan and Mia!

I really liked this book. When I agreed to read this book for an honest review, I did not realize that this was the third book of a series. I was a little unsure about what was going on until I made the realization that this was the third book. That being said, I recommend that you read Bring Me You and Still Into You before reading Never Over You; however I feel that you can still get an enjoyable experience if you just read Never Over You.
The story starts with Mia finding out that her father has been rushed to the hospital. Mia has been estranged from her father for a number of year, something that Mia now regrets and would like to fix before it is too late. Ethan, the love of her life gets Mia to the hospital so that Mia can reconcile with her father.
Mia and Ethan have had a very rocky relationship over the last four years, but now they are in a very good place. Ethan is the starting quarterback for a championship football team. Mia is a star in her own right, lead singer and songwriter as well as an actress. After getting back together, Mia becomes pregnant with twins. We see the struggles that Mia and Ethan must face with a difficult pregnancy and childbirth. How doubt and insecurities start to pull this couple apart and how they struggle to get their lives back together again.
I would have given this book five stars, but I felt that the author kept dwelling on some things too much. We read Mia going over the same past mistakes several time with nothing more being revealed. We read as she debates for close to three months which direction she is going to take her life. Yes I enjoyed the story, I just felt that it took a little too long to get to the conclusion, but that is just my opinion. If you like a love story with drama and lots of bedroom action, you will like this book.

When I first started to read this series, I have to admit all I had to see was "Football Player" and I was a goner. I am a freak for a book about an athlete, so of course I was going to give it a whirl. That was the first book in the series. I am proud to say that I rode the Ryleigh Andrews Roller Coaster and have lived to tell about it. The series as a whole is so emotional, heartbreaking, amazing and intense that by the end of the series I actually cried because there was no more for me to read.
In this book, it is a story of how much can you take emotionally as an individual and is love always the answer that you need. I began the book so happy that Mia and Ethan were going to get their happy ending. They were almost engaged again (ok- just needed the ring to be put back on her finger) and were about to have a baby. Mia about to get her father back into her life after a long feud and of course there is Luke the ever loving best friend (who I totally loved and I am so glad that he has more of a role in this book).
Ryleigh has a way of taking you away from the present and just making you feel and actually live the lives of the characters that you are reading. Ethan is such the ladies man, but had an extremely sensitive side that can actually be his downfall. Mia is the rock goddess that hides her feeling from everyone and lets them out in the music that she plays.
I know that some people have said that these books are so long. Get over it. No matter how long they are, they are right up there with my favorite Tina Reber Love Unscripted go to books. I will read them over and over again because I truly love Mia, Riley and Luke that much. I would LOVE for her next series to be about Luke and Allie. I know that there is so much to that story that we don't know and is dying to be told.

4-4.5 stars. The last book really packs a punch. Just when I think Mia and Ethan are finally on their way to a bright future together, this story really puts the reader and the two of them through the wringer. If I thought the first 2 books were angsty, then this one needs to come with a red alert.
Mia is getting better and stronger with time, but she's never been the best at communicating and Ethan isn't the greatest with pushing Mia to confront those issues head on. It's a constant dance between them even though the love they share is firm and solid. When communication is put to the test, then the fragile bonds that hold their love can easily disintegrate.
Ethan and Mia have always had a long distance relationship, which is difficult for any couple. If Ethan upset me in the first book, he really pushes that edge this time and I wasn't sure if he could be forgiven even though Mia isn't devoid of culpability herself. Regardless, they must dig deep and work hard to overcome their remaining obstacles if they hope to have a future that allows them to be what they need and want for each other. This journey really tugged at my heart and for the vast majority of this series, I was frustrated with Mia, but can appreciate the strides she made. Ethan isn't without his faults either, and they aren't small or easily overlooked, yet after so much time, the two of them were finally finding their groove as a united couple. But when put to the ultimate test of trust, can they survive with or without one another? Great conclusion.

4.5 Stars!
Oh this book brought out all the feels. Never Over You starts right where SIY leaves off. And although I was okay with the way things were left between Ethan and Mia in the last book, I knew going into this one they still had a long and bumpy road ahead. I was not mistaken. Things start out really good that I found myself happy and smiling for them. These two have been through a lot so to see them settled and happy was comforting. But soon enough lack of communication and jealousy threaten their very foundation. One minute I was so frustrated with Mia and the next I was so angry with Ethan that at one point I was hoping they would somehow get stuck in a confined space and be forced to talk things out. But I am glad with how the story played out. I really believed in order for them to work they needed that time apart to work on themselves individually in order to come back together and continue to grow as a couple. No matter how bad things got one thing that was always clear to me in all three books was the love Ethan and Mia had for each other. There are some revelations specially about Mia’s past that answer a lot questions I had going in. Once again I enjoyed the supporting characters they never fail to bring the laughs and be supportive to the couple when they needed them. Overall I’m very satisfied with this conclusion to Ethan and Mia’s story and that epilogue was extremely squee worthy! Loved it!

This is the final book of the Never Over You series and the story continues where it left off. Mia just told Ethan the good news when Mia was handed a bad news about her father. But the little incident also opened the doors for Mia to reconcile with her father and also for Ethan to finally ask Mia again to be a part of his life permanently. Everything was finally falling into place for Mia & Ethan, but something happened along their road to happiness that made them struggle yet again and fight more for their love.
There’s also a glimpse of Mia’s past with Luke with which you’ll be able to understand how they became the best of friends that they are now. As well as Mia’s past that will make you understand and know all the struggles that she has overcome and how she is the way she is years from that point on. Also a glimpse of Luke & Allie’s life and how amidst the chaos of their best friends lives, they have become solid for each other & have stood by the side of their best friends.
I love how Ryleigh finished Mia & Ethan’s story. She shows us that no relationship is perfect, struggles are real, we don’t give up, we fight for it. It’s sad that Ethan & Mia’s story is done but i hope she writes about the other characters and we’ll get a glimpse of Ethan & Mia again. It’s a finale that’s truly worth the wait.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Let me say it first that I read the previous two books in this serial. I loved the first book because it was when they met and fell in love. Of course, it was not a happy ending because they sort of broke up in the end, with Mia saying that she needed to work on her issues.
On the second book, I liked how they both came together, more mature, different people but still loved each other the same way. I liked the journey that they had when they were apart. I think they grew into more stable, solid characters when they were apart, so when they finally were together again, things would be better the second time around.
However, I am not really a big fan of this third installment. I guess a heroine with issues is good only for a maximum of two books. But more than that, with her issues always being in the way. And you know what, I got tired of reading about it, about her. I guess I found her drama too much that it wasn't entertaining anymore.
I would say that if you followed this series, then you shouldn't miss this book. You deserve the closure, and you've already come this far. It was still a good book, all in all. I just couldn't overlook the fact that there have been moments when I just couldn't wait for the tale to end.

I am not sure that I have ever read a series that put my emotions through so much. I have been happy, sad, angry, frustrated, disappointed, and hopeful throughout this series. Even though this is the third and final book in this series, I feel like I need and want more. I have gone from really loving the characters of Mia and Ethan in the beginning of the first book to not really like Mia in most of the second book and then by the end of book 2 I really liked her again. Then in this book I got frustrated with both of them. But saying all that, I really loved this series as a whole. I feel like that is a sign of a great author when she can make me feel so much emotion within the pages of these novels. There were parts of this book that completely broke my heart and one aspect that totally hit home with me as a woman and mother. The book is told mostly from Mia and Ethan's POV but we do get other characters POVs when the time justifies it, which really helps fill in some gaps here and there. We do learn a bit more about Mia's past relationships and life before Ethan entered. This was a great way to end the series, even though I am hoping for more from them in the future. Thank you Ryleigh Andrews for giving us these wonderful and extremely complex characters to fall in love with.

Ryleigh Andrews tugs at all your heart strings in this emotional rollercoaster of a book. What a great ending to Mia and Ethan's love story.
Blurb:
Strange how life deals the cards sometimes …
Life was perfect for Mia Devereux.
“You can always have me, Mia. I’m always yours. Forever, suga.”
She had everything she always wanted.
But maybe life wasn’t so perfect after all.
One event threatens her happily ever after.
Will Mia revert to her old ways of dealing with her pain?
Or will she fight?
Or will the hurt simply be too much to handle?
Can she get past the pain and recapture the life she so desperately wanted?
In Never Over You, we learn more about Mia's past and a few twists are thrown in that will surprise you. After a heartbreaking turn of events, Mia is shattered again and shuts down. Not knowing that Ethan is hurting from her actions, she goes on her latest tour thinking everything is ok. While she is gone, Ethan makes a decision that will change their relationship. When she finds out what happened, she packs up the twins and moves to her Brownstone in Chicago. Can they overcome the pain and find their way back to each other again?

I was waiting on pins and needles for this book...I've been so lucky to be along for this ride with Mia and Ethan. I feel like they're a part of my family and I had to know what happened.
Still Into You left us at a critical point in Mia and Ethan's lives.
Never Over You picks up right where SIY left off and takes us on an epic journey. I absolutely LOVED this book. I cannot say it enough. LOVED. It.
Ryleigh gives us a story so full of life...so full of emotion, that the words come right up off the page and take root in your heart. You FEEL their joy. You FEEL their pain. These characters have embedded themselves in my heart and I will never let them go. It's not just a story. It's not just a book. It's a journey. It's an adventure. It's sheer genius writing and a joy to read.
My heart is happy and while I'm sad that their story is over, I know that this book will never leave me. It's Ryleigh's writing at its absolute finest. Thank you for sharing Mia, Ethan, and the rest of the characters with us, Ryleigh. Thank you for the emotional journey. Just...thank you. You gave us perfection.
To anyone questioning if they can read this after SIY...to anyone unsure...read this. With all that I am, I can tell you that you won't be disappointed.

REVIEW
This is book 3 and oh, my god it's heartbreaking and enlightening all in one. Mia and Ethan truly seem to have gotten their acts together and life is going great until Mia is rushed into surgery for what? Oh now I cannot tell you that.

This is book 3 and oh, my god it's heartbreaking and enlightening all in one. Mia and Ethan truly seem to have gotten their acts together and life is going great until Mia is rushed into surgery for what? Oh now I cannot tell you that. Her best friend Luke has some wonderful news to share also with Allie by his side. When Mia decides it's time to get back to work and while skyping one night with Ethan all hell breaks lose in his mind.

The Never Over You series has become my favorite book series. I've been not so patiently waiting for the release of Never Over You ever since I finished reading Still Into You and I wasn't disappointed! I absolutely love this series and am impressed with this new author. This book pulled me in immediately and kept me hooked until the end.
Like the other books in this series, this book is written from multiple points of view including some from Luke and Allie as well! I don't want to give anything away, but I will say you won't be disappointed with the conclusion of this series. You might want to keep your Kleenex handy because this book is unrelenting on your emotions. At times you'll want to yell at both Mia and Ethan, but in the next you'll want to give them both a big hug!
It's hard to write a review without giving away anything that happens, but I will say it's definitely worth the read. I'm sad Mia and Ethan's story is now complete and I will miss reading about their journey. Thank you Ryleigh for writing such a wonderful series and I look forward to what ever book you come out with next!

What a great ending for Ethan and Mia! I LOVE this series and am extremely happy for the way it turned out! The story of Ethan and Mia has been filled with emotion. There have been plenty of ups and downs for these two and this last installment is no exception. These two characters have a bond that is virtually indestructible. The author has really done an amazing job with telling their story from beginning to end. This part of their story had me in tears most of the time I was reading. Ethan and Mia go through some very tough emotions and learn the importance of good communication. I love the whole group dynamic with Luke, Allie, and the band. Reading about the relationships between all these people is truly worth every tear that was shed. This story also delves deeper into the relationship between Mia and her father. Throughout the story, we get a deeper understanding of both characters. There were times that I wanted to scream at both characters and say “WTF were you thinking?” I was so excited for this story and yet sad that their story was coming to an end. I am looking forward to what this author has in store next.

The final book in this series, Never Over You, continues where the second book ended. After reconciling with her estranged father, life for Mia seems to be great. Mia and Ethan are finally in sync until tragedy draws Mia to once again close herself off to the people important to her. Meanwhile, Ethan is also struggling. When they should have leaned on each other, they chose to deal separately. Soon they realize that they need each other but how to become one again is not that easy.
Throughout the book we got a closer look into Mia’s past – her relationship with her father, her bandmates and her best friend. These relationships are what made Mia the women she is today. I loved how Ryleigh gave us a glimpse into her past. She has a way of writing that draws you in, so much so you feel like you are part of their lives. I had so many emotions throughout this series and especially this book. This was the perfect ending for Ethan and Mia. I cannot wait to read more from Ryleigh in the future.

~~~~~~~~~~Dee's ★★★★★ Review~~~~~~~~~~
So.....the wedding begins this installment of Mia & Ethan's journey. The big question is, "Will their love be strong enough to endure and work through the storms ahead?" Mia's self recrimination, guilt over their loss plus not being able to talk about it with Ethan, she runs and hides. This was her mistake. Ethan, detecting something is bothering Mia and frustrated by her silence about it then jumps to speculations with his worst fears and arrives at wild conclusions. Jealousy is a powerful force. Team that with anger, loneliness, lack of trust, alcohol and no open, honest communication and you have all the ingredients for a monumental disaster. Observing these two people dealing with these issues, learning from them, being able to accept personal responsibility for their choices and growing has been an intense, interesting, entertaining experience. Emotions are off the charts, surprises and twists punctuates the revelations and love for these two characters deepens. Their presence will be sorely missed. Five Stars.
