The long-awaited sequel to New York Times bestselling author, Nelle L’Amour’s critically acclaimed masterpiece, Undying Love.
“With love, there are no goodbyes.”
The heart-wrenching words of Ryan Madewell’s beloved late wife. It’s been almost five years since Allee died, but Ryan, now a successful writer, hasn’t been able to move on. Passing in and out of the stages of grief, he’s been unable to find a woman who can mend his broken heart. Someone new to love and cherish.
Until he meets Willow Rosenthal, a fiery, spirited former ballerina, who awakens in him feelings of lust and passion he thought he’d never experience again. Allee, in her dying letter, urged Ryan to move on…to live his life and find another woman to make him feel alive again. And finally he has.
Just when Ryan thinks he can let go and love again, Willow’s demons from the past resurface and threaten to end their relationship. Ryan must fight for what he deserves. Will his heart once again be shredded to pieces or will he finally get his happily ever after?

After reading the first book in the series I quickly got started on this one and I’m happy to have read it. Ryan’s story continues in book 2 and we see him meeting the beautiful Ballerina Willow.
Ryan is still grieving following the loss of Allee in book one, he thinks about her all the time, everything reminds him of her and no matter what he tries she’s always in the front of his mind, that is until he meets the beautiful willow and for once, Allee isn’t what he’s thinking about.
Willow is an ex dancer having left a few years ago she’s suffering from issues that have affected her on a daily basis. Dancing is everything to her but she just can’t seem to step foot back in a dancing studio.
Watching Ryan and Willow meet was good, watching their relationship was interesting and again, the only dislike I had was it felt a little rushed to me hence why I’m only giving it a 4 star rating but other than that everything was on point.
There was equal amounts of Happiness, Anger and sadness mixed up into the big ball of emotions I’m feeling. This book was all about Ryan’s second chance at love and it’s about damn time he got it, that beautiful man deserves all the happiness and more.
Nelle did a good job with the second book of this series and I feel incredibly blessed to have been given an ARC to review.
At last is the follow-up to the beautiful yet heartbreaking sequel to Undying Love by Nelle L’Amour. When Undying Love ended, my heart broke because Ryan was left broken, and I felt so bad for him, His love died and he didn’t have a chance to get forever with her. I was left mourning what could have been for him and always wondered what could have been, would have been for Ryan… finally Nelle wrote the rest of Ryan's story and I am excited, excited that he gets his HEA. The story begins about five years later, with Ryan still in deep mourning and grieving for his lost and much loved Allee. You can feel Allee still around him , wanting him to move on and find love again, yet Ryan is still stuck on his time with Allee so he wants so badly to have her back and to relieve their times together so he doesn’t want to move on yet 5 years later, its time for Ryan to move on. Willow is an ex- professional ballerina. She came from an abusive relationship and also had an eating disorder and is in therapy after what happened to her while she was a professional ballerina dancer. Willow’s mom died when she was real young which left just her and her dad from that point on. Willow’s dad runs a fantastic deli in NYC and her dad comments one day that Ryan is a regular customer in his deli. That sends Willow into raptures because she loves his writing and then they end up meeting and that first meeting shows there is a spark, chemistry between these two. Willow knows that Ryan has had his heart broken and she wants to do everything to prevent that from happening again. Willow is a great fit for Ryan-she is sweet, kind, beautiful and most of all, a chance for Ryan to get a 2nd chance at romance again, a chance to find his HEA. Ryan had trouble accepting he could be happy again, even when they went official. He refused to let Willow spend the night with him. Willow understood and yet still kept trying to show him she had given him her heart yet Ryan was torn—stay in the past and mourn for what could have been or continue on with the present and continue to work on this new relationship with Willow. Their relationship has its ups and downs and when I thought they had everything worked out, something happened that puts them right back to square 1. Ryan doesn’t take into account things about Willow and he tries to put limits on her while Willow tries to express how dancing is part of her life. When a part of her life comes back and Ryan finds out things about Willow, it shakes them up and it ends up causing such a rift between them. Willow is forced to make a decision that causes heartbreak for all involved. Will Ryan realize that he can move on and find love again with a new soulmate with Allee’s approval or will he doom Willow and himself to a lifetime of heartbreak? Ms. L’Amour wrote a fantastic and emotional 2nd chance love story that will capture you, keep you entertained and will have you crying for the main characters in this story. I cannot believe the tissues I went thru while reading this story. I was psyched to read Ryan’s story continuation and she did justice with Willow for she was perfect for Ryan. These two broken souls found happiness and found their home with each other. And I adored the ending, it was just sweet. I am so glad to see Ryan found what he was truly looking for.
My Rating: 4.7 stars ***** “I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
It has been five long years since Undying Love was released. I know a lot of readers were disappointed that Nelle had waited so long to write the rest of Ryan's story, but I think it was the best thing. I would happily wait for a story, than have an author rush and be let down. This book was not a let down at all. Nelle had me hook, line, and sinker from page one!
The story begins about five years later, and Ryan is still grieving his beloved Allee. His love for her and the pain is indescribable. There are moments that I want to weep with him, and morn her too. She wants him to learn to love again. Willow is the sweetest woman, her life as a ballerina is put on hold, and she is learning to live again. Her father means everything to her, and she has a love for a certain author. A unexpected meeting with a stranger will change her life as she knows it.
When these two meet, there is an instant spark between the two of them. Willow knows that Ryan has had his heart broken, and try's her hardest to get him to let is guarded heart to open again. This story is full of passion, second chances, haunting pasts, and a whole lot of soul searching. I literally couldn't stop reading!!! Nelle has giving me a series the undid me and then slowly put me back together. Her stories are always well written, and I feel like I'm in it with them. I will miss Ryan, but I'm so happy with his ending!! ~Mwah
I received this copy as an arc and I'm so happy that Ms. L'Amour finish this extraordinary sequel. I cried and felt emotions I hadnt felt since reading Undying love. I am so happy Ryan got a second chance with a equally phenomenal woman as his first love Allie. Willow is such a great fit for him and I love how they met and fell for each other. Beautifully written and the characters felt real and exude all these wonderful and heart tugging emotions. What a love story. I urge you all to get a copy of this book. It's well worth the wait. I honestly couldn't put the book down.
Thank Nelle for such a compelling sequel. I will definitely continue to support you as you bring us more fantastic stories.
A truly amazing story... Where Undying Love totally bloody broke me, Endless Love healed me whole!!
This, by far, is Nelle's best!!!
OMFG!!! I just absolutely LOVED reading Ryan & Willow's story, but I have to say you need to read Undying Love before picking this baby!!
I love how all the characters unfold especially Dr Goodman, I love that man! Adore his methods! The fact he's like a cupid while mending their broken hearts *Swoon*
I had the pleasure of beta reading this story! It's a must read!!
What can I say I was lucky enough to get a ARC of this book and can't praise it enough. My emotions were all over the place . Always love anything the author writes but his time it touched my heart in many places. It concludes the story after the previous book undying love and thankfully gives Ryan his HEA but not until all his emotions are dealt with beautifully. I think what touched me with this story as how real the author made story. Life is cruel and this shows how people can move on from tragedy and loss and boy were my emotions all over the place. This is the first time I actually felt tears in parts which is unheard of in a book for me. Willow healed Ryan heart what a selfless amazing woman she was with part of Allee living with them forever ... what a journey such if real life ... this is what made this book special. It reflects real life feeling happy after reading makes you realise life itself is special .... do read ..highly recommend ☺️
Having followed Nelle for a while after having loved her 'That Man' series, I was delighted to be offered the opportunity to read a review copy of Endless Love. Not having read Undying Love I was sent a copy of both to review, but unwittingly I have read Endless Love first! To me, it didn't matter that I hadn't read Undying Love, there is enough backstory to have allowed me to thoroughly enjoy the story. Enjoy though is too tame a word, actually. I loved it, the passion, the insights into a world of extremes, the dance world that nearly brought Willow to her knees yet still enticed her back. The all consuming love for Allee that Ryan had to battle against, in order to be able to give his love to another and then fight for it against the demon Gustav, who I hated with a passion! There is every feeling possible in this book.. warmth - the love between Willow and her father... family rifts - between Ryan and his parents and Ryan's sister and her parents... cuteness overload - in the form of Ryan's adorable niece Violet and the way she bonded with Willow... pure damn right sexiness and of the charts heat between Willow and Ryan.. and even family reconciliations that brought a few tears to my eyes! I love the depth that Nelle L'Amour goes to in her writing, she drags you right on in and doesn't let you go until the end!! an absolute corker of a 5* read for me!!
Note: I received an ARC and voluntarily reviewed this book.
Whew! What a journey, and it doesn't end! I agree with the borrowed words that goes along the lines of true love not having a happy ending, simply because it never ends. The title was very fitting since Ryan's love for Allee is endless, but he has a lot of love to give when Willow entered his life.
It's been five years and he's still mourning Allee's death, still wears his wedding band, and still sees and talks to her in his loft. He now has a niece, Violet, who's really adorable. He also published his memoir "Undying Love", their love story, and it was a hit there's going to be a movie adaptation. He's undergoing therapy by seeing Dr Goodman and talking to him about his situations and feelings, but there was little progress since he really couldn't let go.
Willow was an unexpected, but not unwelcome surprise in Ryan's life. His memoir, which she reads passages from every night, deeply touched her. She came from an abusive relationship and was likewise doing therapy after a harrowing life from being a professional ballerina. Willow's mom died when she was young and so it has been her and her dad from then on. They own a deli shop and to her delight, her dad informed her Ryan's a regular customer. Fate smiled upon them from then until one incident involving Charlotte that ruined their first-ever dinner at Ryan's place.
While they went official, Ryan still couldn't invite Willow to stay the night, which she understood. I liked her Grandmother Ida a lot because she gave good advice on Willow not having to be Allee, but just herself, for them to love each other. Ryan had hesitations until a lightbulb moment that made him proactively let go. Ryan removed the things that reminded him of Allee; not to forget her, but to move forward and it was a good sign.
Ryan and Willow's journey together had a lot of ups and downs, just when you thought they have everything figured out, they're back to square one. Ryan is harboring a happy secret that still connects Allee and him and you're going to find out at the end part of the story on how that develops. Dancing is Willow's life, and when a blast from the past emerges, she's forced to make a decision, something that would set her straight and would eventually lead her and Ryan back together.
I also shed tears in this book. It's poignant and something to be reflected on, and if this were food, it would have a pleasant aftertaste.
As we know, Life moves on. We deal with disappointments, losses, failures... and somehow, we move on. Sometimes we take a little longer to deal with the obstacles we encounter, but in the end, our need for survival entices us to open our eyes again and ... hope!
Of all places to meet your soulmate, you would never expect it to be over the perfect pastrami sandwich from the deli around the corner. The chemistry was immediate, the butterflies were fluttering, but it was not the right time, yet!
Willow is on hiatus from her ballet company. The life of a ballerina under a ruthless master of ballet is very difficult. More so if the master is also your lover. I would have to brand him a sadist with his love for control and pain. Willow, just like her name implies, is gentle and fragile like the leaves of a willow tree in the breeze. She is a magnificent ballerina. This has been her dream since she was a little girl. All the sacrifices she has made for her career hang in the balance after her experience with Master Fontaine. She must decide to either immerse herself in her career or hope for a more normal life. Can she give up her dream?
Ryan is just not ready to love yet. He knows Willow is someone special. He must not lose her! Yet Allee's spirit is still with him. He cannot betray the love he shared with her. What is a man to do? This is his journey through mourning and acceptance of what he cannot change. Does he dare to hope?
You MUST read Undying Love before you read this sequel. You will be able to understand and feel the same emotions Ryan is feeling and share this journey with him. If you have experienced loss in your life, you will understand all the emotions he is feeling. Does he dare to hope for more?
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I thank the author for sharing a copy with me.
BRAVO!!!!! Nelle L'Amour has created an exceptional sequel to Undying Love that I know will top the charts. This book is full of emotions ranging from sorrow, loss, anger, depression betrayal and loneliness but it also gives you hope, passion, understanding, forgiveness and most of all a love that never dies. We go through these emotions with Ryan as he mourns his loss of Allee and as he finds an unexpected love in Willow Rosenthal. Willow is a ballerina on sabbatical after suffering mental and physical abuse from her lover and master Gustave, and catching him with her nemesis is the final straw. When Ryan and Willow meet for the first time in her father's deli, Ryan feels a stirring in his heart for the first time since he lost Allee, but guilt is an emotion following that attraction. Follow Ryan and Willow as they get to know each other and walk side by side through very difficult times, and with Allee right there helping Ryan move forward. What makes this book exceptional is the way Nelle L'Amour includes Allee throughout this book and with Willow having read Ryan's memoir, she has an understanding of their relationship and accepts it. What happens when Ryan finally gives in to his love for Willow and moves on only to have Willow follow her dream of dancing in Paris, a place Ryan can not go to, will he be able to survive another loss. A definite to be read book. If I could give more stars it would be at least a ten!!!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book Thank you Nelle L'Amour
After the heartbreakingly beautiful Undying Love, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about endless love to be completely honest. That book shattered me in the most beautiful of ways, but it shattered me nonetheless. I finally pulled up my big girl pants and opened endless love though, because I NEEDED to see Ryan get his HEA. I’m glad I womaned up and did it. Endless Love was just as breathtakingly beautiful and brought me the closure I needed with these characters.
Ryan is such a beautiful soul. His love and devotion to both of the women in his life was something rare and special. Part of me was concerned, wondering how I would feel towards the new woman in his life, also another part was wondering what if I Love this woman and she spends her time playing second fiddle to his first wife? I should have known better. If there’s one thing Nelle L’Amour does magnificently, it’s love. Ryan’s Heart was so huge there was enough room to love Willow endlessly and completely just as much as he loved Allee.
Another part of me wondered would Willow just be Allee 2.0. Once again, please smack me upside the head because I really should know by now that would never be the case with Nelle. Willow was a person all her own. Beautiful and delicate, but with the strength of a warrior hidden inside her this ballerina danced right into my heart. With ghosts of her own haunting her from her past she needed Ryan’s love just as much as he needed hers. These two books together, and I fully mean you should read them BOTH back to back, bring a beautiful, emotional tale that will stay in your heart forever.
Ryan FINALLY gets his HEA!!! Ryan is still struggling with attempting to move forward with his life after the passing of his wife in book 1. This book takes place years later, and he meets Willow early on in the read. Willow's struggling to move forward after a complete emotional and physical collapse that could possibly end her dancing career. Neither is looking for love. They are both emotionally broken and damaged in different ways and trying to live their lives rather than just existing. I really admired both the patience and strength each had in regards to the other. You don't see either of these things enough in romance reads. Their attraction was genuine as was their terror as their emotions threatened to dissolve their own internal confidences. There are a lot of circumstances that push each past their comfort zones, but this love story couldn't have been written any other way. It's so endearing and untraditional that I can't even describe too much without giving anything away. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a read that's unique and full of more "feels" than you can count. I received an advanced reader copy of this book for a voluntary and completely honest review.
In my opinion Nelle L'Amour did Undying Love justice with Endless Love. I know sometimes sequels lose something, this one did not. It was a typical Nelle L'Amour story with two main characters with journeys to make. A villain or two that create trouble. There was suspense and wonder that kept me turning the pages. I don't know that much about ballet, yet I could feel the dance and the pain of the dancer. That is all because of Nelle L'Amour's writing. For me she brought me into the story which is her job and she did a great job of it. I felt Ryan's struggle of letting go and opening his heart to another. I felt Willow's struggle of whether to go back to her great love of dance or stay with stay with her new great love. The last about 15% of the book were almost too much for me. I did not cry like I did with Undying Love, I did sniffle. Nelle L'Amour did a good job of wrapping up a lot of loose ends that if any other author might have left. If you are a Nelle L'Amour fan in my opinion she did not disappoint. In my opinion Endless Love is worth reading and I fully recommend. I received an ARC edition for my honest and voluntary review.
endless love was not what I expected from Nelle L'Amour, I am use to reading her erotic books but with humor like with "This Man" series, so to have a dramatic turn in this 2 part book series did take me for a loop. Ryan was not the type of leading man that I expect in a erotic series, his character wasn't strong enough for me and he came off kind of cheesy too. Willow was ok, her character was just blah, nothing spectacular or impressive about her.
I know that Ryan is a grieving widow and I am not sure if reading Undying Love let me down a rabbit hole where I really was not into this book series and was struggling to finish reading endless love. I would have liked the characters to be more stronger.
I will say that Nelle did not disappoint when it comes to her love scenes and building attraction and sexual tension between two characters.
I wished I would have loved it but Endless love did not cut it for me.
After the heart breaking end to Undying Love I was more than excited to read another story where Ryan gets the chance for a happy ending. After the death of Allee he wrote a book about their story. He fell into a serious depression. Willow was a dancer in a ballet. She fell into some very unhealthy habits to keep herself relevant in her job. Plus she caught the man she was in a relationship with having sex with another ballerina…. In her dressing room. Something that got her through tough nights by reading a love story that captured her heart. Undying Love. Ryan is a regular customer at her father’s deli. When she asks him, Ryan has no problem signing her copy of his book. He decides to start trying for a relationship with her. Everywhere he turns he sees Allee cheering him on, telling him that it is time for him to move on. He has a hard time getting rid of the guilt that he feels. The struggle for them to have a relationship seems to be all on him, but then her past comes back to disrupt them.
This is a fantastic story that had me feeling very serious emotions from the very beginning. These are 2 people that work their way through a lot of issues in their past to work at being together. Definitely a wonderful second chance romance!
The long awaited sequel to unduyng love. I reread the first book to remember because it had been several years since I had read it. We find Ryan 5 years after the death of Allee and he sees a psychiatrist to go ahead in his live "I can ever get over Allee ... That's because love never dies". He meets Willow, an old ballerina who makes a break in her career, after a breakdown due from her dancing's Master and lover who is an abusive and manipulative man. She goes to the same psychiatrist ( a very wise man) She works with her father in a deli where she meets Ryan of which she is a fan ... Starts a wonderfull love story. Absolutely to read for all those who cried at the end of unduyng love and wanted a happy ending for Ryan. Thank you.
The wait is over! I couldn't read this story fast enough. I needed to know how Ryan gets his happy ever after. He has too!! I received this copy as an ARC from the author for my honest review. I felt many emotions reading the sequel. My heart was still aching for Allee, but I needed Ryan to be happy at life be again. Such an incredible sequel to Undying Love. It was the perfect ending. The last paragraph had me crying my eyes out. Happy tears FYI! Ryan meets Willow at a deli, where he starts to feel something he hasn't felt for a while. Willow has been hurt by love and goes home to lick her wounds. I thought Willow was the perfect woman for Ryan, but her past comes into play. Now the rest you need to read on your own! Please keep a box of Kleenex handy, you will need it!
*** I received an ARC in hopes that I would leave an honest review ***
This series has definitely been an emotional roller coaster. After everything Ryan went through in Undying Love he definitely deserved an HEA. This book captured my attention from the first page. I don’t like to give to many details away in my reviews but I can say this is definitely a must read. Endless Love was definitely a great way to end Ryan’s journey. Willow is perfect for Ryan! Make sure to get your copy, you won’t be disappointed.
If you ha ent read undying love it's a must to fallow this story line!!!
What was way to fallow up undying love. I couldn't put it down and even if I wanted to I wouldn't have. You feel very emotion that Ryan goes through to get to his hea I could say more but then I would spoil it for you and this is a story you don't want spoiled
Beautiful continuation to Ryan's story. Allee will always be the love of his life, but she didn't want him to be alone and I believe with her help, he found Willow, his beautiful ballerina butterfly. The second they met, sparks were flying. As usual Nelle's writing sucks you in and never lets go. You will be laughing, crying, swooning and gasping all the way thru. I highly recommend this book, but first you need to read Undying Love for Ryan and Allee's story. I've read all of Nelle's books, and loved them all and cannot wait for her next one. I received an ARC copy in exchange for my voluntary review.
Love is the corner stone of Endless Love. How can a man move forward after the utter tragedy he had to endure?
The strength that Ryan possessed was amazing! Then he found Willow, but was she the one that could help him move forward? Will it survive the test of time?
What a beautifully written conclusion to undying love, so glad that after all this time Ryan finally gets his HEA. A story of two broken souls who find each other and slowly over time help one another to love and live again. A must read
What an awesome read!! I was completely captivated from the moment I opened the book.. It was like I was in the story, the way I felt every emotion that the characters did. Nelle never ceases to amaze me. If you have read book 1 Undying Love, pick it up while you're getting this one. You will be totally in love with this story. I was lucky to be given the opportunity to read an Arc before it was made available to the public. I'm grateful for that..
Can two people with broken hearts find happiness together? Or will their pasts come between them and keep them from moving on with their lives. Sorrow, guilt and self doubt are their enemies. Sorry no spoilers. I really enjoyed this series, Undying Love and Endless love. Be sure to read in order. I recieved this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
I received an ARC for an honest review and absolutely loved this book. it had heart, love, and finally a happy ending. This story did a great job at wrapping up an incredible second chance romance.
It’s not often I read a book and think WOW this so could be someone’s life!!
This is the second book in the series and we follow Ryan after Undying Love and let me tell you....it was such a heart warming story and one that would stay with you for a while....Undying Love was heartbreaking beautiful but Endless Love is just amazing in every way.
Ryan meets his new love Willow, a beautiful ballerina in this story...the story is told in both POV and I was pleased about this...I absolutely loved having snippets of the past with Allee been in the book still....at certain parts you was on the edge of your seat not knowing what would happen....honestly loved this whole series!!
The characters in the story are wonderful...I loved seeing new characters appear and still finding more about the other ones....Nelle honestly has produced a wonderful story...one that breaks your heart but at the same time mends it back to together. The ending of the book just made me smile big and was what I hoped from the very beginning. Definitely a 5 ⭐️ read and again another firm favourite of mine.
I really don't know where to begin... I waited for this book for nearly 5 years and finally I got to finish this amazing love story. I went into this book with a lot of apprehension as I couldn't see how Nelle could make this story work without Allee. Undying Love was an epic love story, that if I'm honest totally broke my heart. I wasn't sure if I wanted Ryan to find someone else as I didn't want him to forget Allee. Willow is a great character and they compliment each other incredibly well. She's an amazing loving and understanding woman who learns to live with the fact that although dead Allee would always be part of hers and Ryan's lives. I can honestly say that I loved every single word written and although Undying Love will always have a special place in my heart, Endless Love is a wonderful story. Thank you Nelle for giving Ryan, Allee and Willow the ending they deserved!
After patiently waiting what feels like a very long time, I'm giving up on this sequel ever being published. Sadly I don't believe we will ever see Madewell get his HEA, and, that's, well just sad. There's no explanation why, there's hardly any mention of Endless on her other sites, and Undying is only mentioned when its on sale or going on itunes.
I myself have asked her on her FB page on at least two occasions about Endless and she's never responded. But then again, she hasn't responded to any questions, other than a comment a while back that the story isn't right. I can totally understand that. We all want a great story. But how about some updates?
Let us know how things are coming along. I loved Undying. I love Madewell. The teaser at end had me so excited. I want to know what happens between him and his "deli" girl. What happens to the embryos? Damnit. That Man is done and she has a new series coming out "Unforgettable," which I'm sure will be great. It just really sucks that Undying seems to have died.
At last, the long awaited sequel to Undying Love, which is currently FREE! at all retailers. Thank you all for your patience and a special shout-out to those who cheered me on and never lost faith in me. This was a very challenging book to write and to be honest, I never thought I would finish it. I'm so thrilled I did. I hope that you will love it and that it will bring you a big smile and/or happy tears. MWAH!
