From This Day Forward: A Passion & Vows Novella

Rate this book
Quinn Evans knew Jenna Davis was the woman for him the moment he spotted her. Five years, a stint in the military, and the longest engagement in the history of mankind hasn’t changed his mind.

It’s a good thing there are only three months to go until their wedding because he’s about ready to toss her over his shoulder for a quick ceremony at the courthouse. But when she turns up missing, all bets are off as he races the clock to rescue his bride… and their unborn child.

A new Fiona Davenport’s is here, and a Sex & Vows novella to boot – one of my fav series -, so I twice as happy!

In From This Day Forward , Fiona gives us the beautiful story of Jenna, I’m Yours, Baby Weston’s sister, and the handsome and very alpha, Quinn.

These ladies, gave us their usual victorious formula in this light-hearted, super sweet and über steamy story, where we pass superficially by their very first meeting and the first years into their relationship where they were some time apart, each developing their professional future, and come to focus on their present life on the verge of their big day, the most anticipated wedding.

I love seeing this established couples stories – Sex & Vows novellas – that give us more an insight into their love story, and how their fit their ever growing romance with their every day lives. And these two were so incredibly realistic characters, that we feel their emotions and daily events like our own. Add to that some crazy HOT sex scenes, one smoking hot alpha with plenty of caveman traits, and hint of suspense, and you have this delicious novella to read in one sitting! Pure smutty deliciousness! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“You don’t even know me.”
Unable to resist the temptation of her pale, creamy skin, I ran the back of my hand down her soft cheek. “Not your name, but I knew you the second I laid eyes on you.”
“You can’t possible know anything about me!” she scoffed.
I cupped her face in my palms and stared into those green depths, seeing the other half of my soul.
“I know you’re mine. That’s all I need to know.”

3.5 stars!

I've been wanting to read Quinn and Jenna's story the first time I met them in Weston's story.

Just like all Fiona's books, this one is quick, hot and with HEA of course!

My favorite line:

"Jenna, it only took a single heartbeat for me to know you were the one. That you would hold my heart in your hands for eternity. I want you to wear my ring so everyone else knows how much I love you and that you'll always be mine."

DIBS....not really sure I need a review since I think that is self explanatory, but I love me a good over the top neanderthal. Just sayin, doesn't every girl want to be treated like a pampered princess? The answer is yes, if you had to think about it.....then this review and book probably isn't for you. I can't even imagine anyone answered no, because doesn't every woman want a man who adores them and can't keep their hands off each other. I know I do *raises hand in the air*, pick me *jumps up and down*

Quinn and Jenna met in college, she was a freshman and he was a senior. Insta-love at its finest. These two couldn't keep their hands off each other. And Quinn.....hotter than hell with his dirty talk...whew. Loved these two and I love this series.

This was a cute story.

Quinn works for a security firm. He and his fiancee, Jenna met in college and they've been engaged for 5 years. He was finishing college and about to join the military, and she was only in her first year of college when they met, so their wedding has been put on hold time and time again. He's about had enough though, and he has given her a date and told her they will get married on or before that date, no matter what. Also, he wants to knock her up ASAP.

Jenna is the sister of Weston Davis from Fiona's Yeah, Baby series. So, we've met her before and I was always interested to know about her love story. The prologue gave us their backstory. It was a complete meet cute, and I loved that. It's one of the many things that Fiona Davenport does very well. Jenna is a kindergarten teacher, and she's been planning her perfect wedding to Quinn, and she has never been happier. Of course, that means something is just around then bend, right?

I really love the way this series involves relationships that are already happening, and successful. It's a little different twist on the typical new couple romance, and I really love it. This one didn't quite catch me as much as the other 2 in this series have, but I still really liked it a lot. Quinn and Jenna's chemistry was great, and I loved their relationship. The suspense part of the story line was well done too.

I really love Fiona Davenport, and I've been missing their fun, short, sexy stories, so I was so glad for this installment. As always, I look forward to what's next!

Quinn and Jenna are the perfect couple. They fell in love at first sight, Quinn declared that she will be his forever and their insta-love ignited feverishly. However, their wedding date had to be postponed several times especially because of a call of duty. When he returned, he was more than ready to say, "I do" any time and place. But this time, it was Jenna who wanted more time to prepare. This was hindered when she and their unborn child were held captive. And it made them realize that time was always of the essence, so they did what they should have done five years earlier.

FROM THIS DAY FORWARD is a wonderfully written fast-paced novella. I loved the plot, and the hero , Quinn. He was intense yet funny. I super enjoyed this sexy read!

I have read an advanced copy of this book and this is a fair and honest review and recommendation voluntarily shared.

There are very few Quinns in the world. His loyalty and love for his soul mate is unfaltering. It has survived continents, mishap, and time.

Jenna and Quinn are a very passionate couple. Not only passionate regarding their relationship but also passionate regarding each other as individuals. This novel is a fast paced, super romantic story. Although faced pace, Davenport does a phenomenal job with the story line, revealing details, developing the characters and scenes. It's a beautifully written short story!

From This Day Forward, Book 3 of the Sex & Vows series, was about Quinn Evans, former military, and Jenna Davis. As his final semester in college was starting, and shortly before he was to begin Officers Candidate School, Quinn found himself in the wrong classroom. However, as he turned to leave, his eyes collided with Jenna's, and he knew he was in the right place...wherever she was. He went so far as to tell her so, and that she was his. A few months later, on their shared birthday (she turned 19 and he turned 22), Quinn proposed. Although she said yes at the time, it would be a while before they could get married since he was going away to OCS, which was 12 weeks long, and then would be shipped overseas shortly after graduating. Because of his position as a military intelligence officer, he was often on the move and unable to share with Jenna his whereabouts. He made it home as often as he could, but at the end of his four-year career, he was offered a position stateside. However, he turned it down for a position with her brother's friend working in security as a civilian contractor. A year later, he was still waiting for Jenna to plan their wedding, but things kept happening to stop it, especially when her brother's fiancee was threatened and it spilled over to include her as well. So, Quinn gave her a deadline and said if they weren't married by then, he was going to sneak her away to Vegas for a quick wedding. Less than three months before the wedding, Jenna had the sneaking thought that she might be pregnant (which was Quinn's plan that he hadn't shared with her). As she grabbed several pregnancy tests to confirm her suspicions, she went to Quinn's office to take them while he was there. After the test proved positive, Quinn dragged her out of the office...and headed straight for the courthouse. However, Jenna convinced him to take her home instead so they could talk things out because she knew if she got married without her parents present, they would be very unhappy with them both. After a fun few rounds of spicy passion, Jenna thought she'd convinced Quinn to wait the remaining three months to get married (she hadn't). The following day, Jenna was at school waiting for him to take her for an OBGYN appointment. As she waited, she saw one of her students standing with his mother, who was talking with a man Jenna didn't recognize, a man who looked very much out of place. The guy had a threatening air about him, and he seemed to be arguing with the student's mom. When Jenna tried to intervene, the mother said he was her "friend", and they rushed away. At that point, Quinn arrived and queried about the others, but he didn't buy the guy being friends with the mother. But he let it go and took her to the doctor. After the doctor confirmed the pregnancy, Quinn took her home, which passed by the school again. As they did, he was reminded of the guy from earlier and determined he was going to do some investigating because something didn't sit right where the other man was concerned. Because of his feelings of unease, Quinn determined to take Jenna to school and pick her up afterward the following day. As she was preparing to go meet him at the entrance, she thought she heard a child crying. She looked around but saw no one, so she turned to continue to the doors. Once again, she heard the cry and, turning the corner, saw the student from the day before. He was on the floor holding his cheek, and the man she'd seen with him and his mom was standing over him. When she confronted him, the man turned on her. As he stalked towards her, someone else grabbed her from behind and took her, and her student, away. Quinn arrived just in time to see the man's vehicle race out of the school parking lot. Once he realized Jenna was missing, he went into action, getting his boss, her brother, and her brother's CIA friends (from Book 1) involved in finding her. From that point on, the author sort of rushed through the story. It felt like five chapters happened in the space of two, but left out everything from the other (non-existent) three. That was a bit disappointing because it had so much potential and the author just dropped the ball and left so much unexplained and hanging in mid-writing. There was plenty of angst and drama, but what left a huge question in this reader's mind was...WHY did the FMC keep putting off a wedding that she WANTED?! There wasn't a good reason for doing so. The MMC had been home a YEAR after having been in the service for FOUR years, so why did she make him wait for another one to tie the knot? She wasn't ditzy, and she wasn't stupid, but she dragged her feet needlessly when HE wanted to go ahead and get married the moment he returned. It's not like they needed to wait to afford it. The MMC mentioned that they "both came from money", and they both had jobs. He also mentioned that they'd already bought a home together before he even left to serve his country. So her hesitation left me questioning...WHY?! The main characters were both well-rounded, mature, level-headed adults with the ability to grow and work things out. Except...there wasn't any bone of contention between the two except for her dragging her feet about the wedding. She wanted to have her "dream wedding", but what was the holdup in doing so? Ugh. The twists and turns of the drama that played out didn't fit the story. It had nothing to do with the main characters...just a very minor secondary character thrown in almost as an afterthought. With all of the inconsistencies and unresolved issues, it still managed to get a 3.5-star rating, dropping down to three. It just needed...more...during the final conflict.

I'm a big fan of Fiona Davenport's books and I really love the Sex and Vows series. Quinn and Jenna have been together for five years and Quinn wants to make her his wife but Jenna resists him. A surprise pregnancy and a kidnapping make her reconsider her choices. Steamy and sweet read with loving characters and a cute HEA! Heroine was a virgin and hero was a flawless alpha male. The Sex and Vows series is amazing!

"From this day Forward" is a Sex & Vows novella and tells the story of Quinn and Jenna, their 5 year journey from insta love to HEA, with a minor hiccup which only speeds up the process.
Short, sweet and gives you the expected.

**Disclaimer: If you've read I'm Yours, Baby (Weston and Aspen's story; which you should because it's so good), then you'll recognize Quinn and Jenna, Weston's younger sister. This book allows us to see not onky Quinn and Jenna's first meeting, but also their journey to forever.**

Five years ago, Quinn was beginning his last semester of college and after graduating, would then leave for twelve weeks of Officer's Candidate School, then he'd be off to wherever the military sent him. But the day he accidentally walked into the wrong classroom, was the greatest of his life, as well as the start of his future, because he instantly knew he'd just met the woman meant to be his.

Jenna dreams of becoming a teacher and as her eyes meet the gorgeous man across the room, she knows her dreams have shifted to include him.

Their relationship may have been fast by some people's standards, but to them it was fate. Their time together was limited before Quinn left and they didn't want to waste any time. Within days they'd declared their love and within a month were living together. Quinn visited Jenna every chance he got, wishing she could be with him, but wanting her to finish college.

Once she'd graduated, and Quinn opted out of renewing his contract, they were ready to finally plan their wedding. Unfortunately, life kept interfering. Now Quinn, an employee of Gray Securities (see Safe with Me, Baby for Xander and Calista's story), and Jenna, a kindergarten teacher, are only three months away from becoming man and wife.

However, life isn't doing surprising Quinn and Jenna yet, and while one is cause for joy, the other could end in tragedy. Quinn won't let anything stop him from getting Jenna back.

How quickly will Quinn save Jenna? *Yeah, we all know he will, it's just a matter of when.* Will Jenna decide to marry Quinn as soon as possible as he's wanted? Or will they continue with their plans? Is there a compromise? What's the happy surprise?

One-click now and follow along as we get the glimpse we've all wanted of Quinn and Jenna's relationship, and the HEA they deserve.

Im a BIG, HUGE fan of Fiona Davenport and she hit this novella out of the park! It is hot, sexy, action packed and so sweet, with its insta-love theme, but yet different all at the same time. Quinn's a strong, alpha male who has waited for 5 years for him and Jenna to get married!! For them to get their HEA to get started—MY GOD, This couple is sooo freakin awesome and cute! I wanted to hug them and give him sugar{smile} Quinn is so passionate and dominate when it comes to Jenna and her safety. He literally goes nuts when she is in danger. Jenna is a sassy, independent woman who knows how to corral Quinn and when she is in danger, she knows he will come save her. I loved how much action was in this novella and how much plot there was. There is no cheating, no OW, it just insta love, great action and strong alpha and his sassy lady. What an awesome read!!

My rating: 4.8 stars ****

It is now Jenna's turn for her story. We meet her in I'm Yours Baby....she's Weston's sister. An accidental meeting in college places Quinn in Jenna's path. He knew from the very first time that he saw her that she was the only one for him. However he is getting ready to leave for the military and she still has to finish college...so begins their long distance relationship. Now, they are planning their wedding but a pleasant surprise has Quinn wanting to push up the date...like to yesterday lol. It was a very sweet, cute, hot read by one of my favorite authors. I really enjoyed reading their story.

I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a sweet, sexy, romance with a hot possessive alpha male and of course my favorite the insta love. I can't wait to see what they come out with next. Well done!!!

4.5 It's Worth The Wait Stars!!!

I've been waiting for Jenna's story since I first started reading the Yeah Baby Series and let me tell you the wait was worth it!!

Quinn and Jenna met in college but not in the traditional sense you're thinking. Quinn was in the wrong place at exactly the right time...once he laid eyes on Jenna, all bets were off and she was his!!! I love these alpha men that Fiona Davenport always gives us. They just make me swoon!!

These two have quite the journey to get to their HEA that's for sure. There's dirty talking sex, caveman wooing by Quinn, a few surprises and a suspenseful kidnapping that throws a twist into their future plans. We get to see some of my favorites too including Jenna's big brother Weston and his wife Aspen.

This is another quick and dirty read and I loved every single minute of it!!!

"Sex and Vows" series, Book 3 (#2 according to Amazon)

Trigger/Content Warnings
Kidnapping

Quinn walked into the wrong class at the college and fell with one look at Jenna. Jenna's brother Weston (previous book, different series) has a friend Xander (another book) that got him a job. After 5 years, life kept getting in the way of them getting married, so Quinn gave her a date and said if she didn't get the wedding planned by then, he would take her to Vegas. But the day after they found out she's pregnant, she got kidnapped from school. Can Quinn find her in time? Will she and the baby be safe?


I have really enjoyed these books. I think Jessa needs her own big, age-gap, growly man.

As of now this is my fave quick read! Fiona Davenport NEVER disappoints me when it comes to instalove stories!

I love this series knowing I can still read the life of previous main characters. I love Quinn's character, how patient and passionate he is when it comes to Jenna. The guy waited for 5 years for him and Jenna to get married!! This couple is sooo cute!

I'm sooo hooked from the first page until last. No hardcore drama which is what I like to my instalove stories. The sexy scenes are HOT! I'm so looking forward for more of FD's series like I hope every other day she has new release!

This is the third book in the Sex and Vows Novella series by the talented duo that make up Fiona Davenport. This book features Jenna (Weston Davis' younger sister) and Quinn Evans (friend/employee of Xander Gray). Quinn Evans is in his last year at Georgia State, when he graduates he'll be going to OCS (Officer Candidate School) for twelve weeks. His world changes when he walks into the wrong classroom and meets a beautiful woman. Jenna Davis was 19 years old and a freshman in college studying Early Childhood Education when she met the love of her life. Quinn loved Jenna more than anything but he knew she had to finish school. He proposed to her on their shared birthday and then went to OCS and afterwards he was stationed overseas for four years. It's been five years of waiting and finally their wedding is three months away and Jenna just found out she's pregnant. Quinn was a total alpha caveman and I loved him.

This is Quinn & Jenna's story. She was originally I'm Yours Baby. She is Weston's little sister. Quinn is in his final year of college when he meets and falls in love with Jenna in a matter of weeks, days, hours. It is love at first sight. The time comes where they must have a long distance relationship due to Jenna trying to finish college. Years later they are planning their wedding and enjoying their time together. A few bumps come and go along with a few surprises made for a thrilling, sweet true love story. Can't wait for more!
