Sequel to Beautiful Ruin

They call it a moment of truth. We all have them. Nathan and I are no different. Those are the moments when things can go two ways, toward a better life or toward destruction.

Nathan was my everything -- until this morning when a white lie entered our circle of trust which led quickly to a second lie and then, of course, in our life, a gun is always soon to follow.

They don’t cover guns or deceit in any of my baby books. I checked. My charmed life with my man and my sweet dog, Annie, is spinning out of control again. And to make matters worse, we haven’t had sex in weeks.

*This novella is a sequel to BEAUTIFUL RUIN but it can be read independently.*

Favorite Quotes:

“Men think their junk is like the death star. It will destroy everything in vagina empire… Let’s just say he’s not so free with his light saber these days.”

“‘Women are attracted to confidence and certainty and…’ I begin, pausing to point at his abs, ‘non-practical muscle mass.’”

My Review:

Short and sweet with endearing characters and an intriguing storyline that drew me in and hooked me into wanting to read the rest of this series.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

In this sexy short story, Alison Foster revisits two couples from the Everlasting Series. While this story focuses mostly on Nate and Grace from Beautiful Ruin, we're also treated with Tomas and Taylor from Magnificent Ruin. Danger lurks wherever Nate and Tomas go, and so they weave a web of deceit meant to keep their women safe, or so they think.

Nate and Grace are content and madly in love until a phone call threatens to rip their world apart. What starts out as an innocent lie soon involves two upset females plotting with their heads together and two men trying to keep control of the situation. With a bundle of joy on the way, Grace refuses to let them fall back into their old secretive patterns and will do anything to protect Nate and their relationship, even if that means telling a lie of her own. Can two lies make a right?

It was wonderful getting to read more about some of my favorite characters. Alison Foster gives her readers a short steamy encounter with Nate and Grace that is sure to please fans of the Everlasting series. I highly recommend for lovers of sexy suspense with memorable characters.

Received a copy. Fast paced and great read. There are ups and downs in life. Trust is important during those times. When reality slaps you in the face you never know what will happen even if it takes a four legged friend to help you along the way. Love the characters and continuation of Nathan and Grace. Love and happiness is what they shoot for and they want to hold on to each and every moment they can. Love it!

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved Beautiful Ruin and Magnificent Ruin. Being able to read about Nate and Grace's life now, months later was like a sudden, unexpected visit from friends you haven't seen in awhile. This couple really wound themselves into my heart and I loved having a peak into the continuation of their future together.

Great writing, great characters and wonderful addition to the story.

I enjoyed this short sexy read. This short story continues with Nate and Grace. Taylor and Tomas also appear in this story. The past comes back to haunt Nate. Nate and Tomas lie to protect Grace and Taylor. Will Nate be able to move on with his past or will his deceit only cause more problems? This story will not disappoint.

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review. I love when authors give you a glimpse of their life after their story ends. I really enjoy these characters. I love how both Nathan and Grace wee broken and when you put them together they become whole.

I loved this short story from Alison Foster! Grace and Nathan should have their happy ever after, but then the past wants to ruin it. These two have to decide to leave the past where it belongs and look to the future. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Nathan and Grace are engaged but he find out the police have caught the person responsible for his friends death. Nathan's first reaction is not to tell Grace but soon he realizes Grace and their baby are more important.

I received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This was a short, fun, sexy read with two great main characters, Grace and Nathan. I definitely want to read more of their story.

The basis of the story was good, we got snippets of their past and how it was effecting them now, but some of it was confusing and unclear.
