I read how Alara and Gabe met and fell in love in Unveiling the Sky. I loved that book and the characters very much. I’m happy that there was more Alara and Gabe. Unveiling Forever gives us a look into their future. There were all new scenes so you need to read this if you have liked the other books. I loved Unveiling Forever! There were many beautiful and romantic moments.
Alara and Gabe are just like I remembered them. Gabe is still a sweetheart. He’s patient, caring and loving. He would do anything for his Alara. He loves her so much and he can’t imagine a future without her. Alara is strong, sweet and loving. She still struggles with her depression sometimes, but she’s a fighter and she has Gabe. Alara and Gabe are still very much in love. They are a beautiful, strong couple.
After what happened with Sam and Derek in this novella, I want their story more than ever. I already loved them in the previous books and it was always obvious that they should be together. I can’t wait for their book to be released!

This look into Gabe and Alara’s HEA was absolute perfection. I’ll be very impatiently waiting for Derek and Sam’s story.

I’m floating on a cloud right now. I can’t and will never get enough of these incredible characters from the Unveiling universe. Alara and Gabe’s story is in the first book called Unveiling The Sky and is necessary to read before jumping into this gorgeous novella Unveiling Forever.
Unveiling Forever has everything I expected from a novella and so much more. Alara and Gabe’s relationship and love still manage to show new sides and layers which made me laugh, swoon and emotional. They saved each other when they were at their lowest and now they’re each other’s constants.
Alara has times where she’s struggling with depression but not as severe as in the past. I loved how her illness was being handled because it’s never going away. Nothing was sugarcoated. It only showed the real struggle and Alara wasn’t alone. Now Gabe took it on him and wanted to be her light in the darkness and the storms.
They’re friendship and relationship is so much fun and beautiful. Their chemistry is undeniable. Sizzling hot is more like it. That photo booth scene! Hot and cute.
Unveiling Forever delivers a fabulous conclusion for now to Alara and Gabe’s story. The appearance of the other characters from the Unveiling series is just an added bonus. Jeannine Allison spoils me with her flawless prose. This is romance with feels in spades and with just one book left in this series I can honestly say that I’m a little impatient. But as the saying goes “all good things comes to those who wait”. I know I won’t be disappointed.

When I found out that a novella would be released that gave me more info on what Gabe and Alara, the two characters who started the Unveiling series, were up to, I let out a squeal. When I received a copy from the author, it made my day. And having read this lovely HEA conclusion to their story, I can say that this made my week.
Everything that I have come to expect and love from Allison is presented in a fun-sized package. Honesty about living with depression. The ability for someone’s love to make it a little easier... not to cure it per se but to help you to remember who you are and who you can be. Amusing dialogue. Lovable supporting characters. And now, hot sex that lands one of our lead characters in the ER. Fanning self. Holy shit. Didn’t know you had it in you, Jeannine, but way to go.
This book is not a stand alone. Go back to the beginning, read “Unveiling the Sky,” and then read the others or skip right to this one if you prefer (Though some of the side characters’ stories will be spoiled a bit or maybe will not make as much sense. But you will still be able to follow along.). Then read this.
One of my favorite aspects of Christmastime is that you get to see people that you wish you saw more often. Christmas has come early this year in my ability to revisit some of my favorite characters in surprise bonus releases such as this one.

5 "Our love...it's infinite" stars!!!
This is like the BEST birthday gift I could ever get... ;)
GABE AND ALARA ARE MY FAVORITE AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!! GAH!!!!! 😍💙 This novella was such a perfect little gift to us fans of the series. You MUST read Unveiling The Sky before reading this. And trust me, you'll love that book!
Gabe. I love him. Everything he does makes me swoon. And every word out of his mouth is 😍
Alara is...she's wonderful. I love her. This quote right here made me smile so big and get a little teary-eyed because it's perfect.
Jeannine Allison wrote up a sweet and sexy novella with heart. And something I admire about her writing is that it's real. There's a scene at about the halfway mark that was done beautifully and I'm so glad she added it because that's what most couples go through. Not everything is picture perfect 100% of the time.
These two will make you fall in love with them all over again. This novella is NOT to be missed.
Oooh, and there's a little preview of the next book in the series, Unveiling Hope (Derek and Sam's book!!!!!!! WOOHOO I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS!!!), so you definitely want to grab this up! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

"I've seen you struggle and I've watched you soar, and I've loved and admired you through it all."
"If there is something longer than forever...that's how long I'll love you."
Alara is...she's wonderful. I love her. This quote right here made me smile so big and get a little teary-eyed because it's perfect.
"Just as Gabe had vowed, we had a lot of perfect moments. And I knew many more would follow. But that didn't mean I was naïve.
Love wasn't a cure.
Love wan't a savior.
But with Gabe by my side, love became a weapon.
I couldn't promise I'd always be well.
All I could promise was that I'd love him...forever."

4.5 stars!!!
I know I should've probably read Unveiling the Sky before Unveiling Forever, since it was a continuation of Alara and Gabe's story. But I couldn't help myself!!! Jeannine's writing is so ALLURING I couldn't resist.
I could FEEL Gabe and Alara's love through the pages. I could identify with Alara and her depression. And Gabe supporting, understanding, and loving her because of it was truly amazing. I couldn't help tearing up multiple times, but that doesn't really surprise me when it comes to Jeannine's writing.
After reading this I'm looking forward to Derek and Sam's story, Unveiling Hope, now more than ever!!!

So cute. There really isn't much more I can say on this one. You already know I love the covers. The writing is just... it's on lock. I completely understand why this particular story had to be written, and even more understand the whys and wheres of why it is placed where it is in the line-up. I truly believe this one should be read exactly where it is. This isn't a book that should be read out of order... but that's just me talking. *shrug* I enjoyed it a lot. I'm pretty invested in this cast of characters by now, in case you couldn't guess....
Novellas though. I have a love/hate relationship with them. I understand them, in theory. All of the other books, except for Unveiling the Sky had pretty extended epilogues... so I'm thinking maybe this was supposed to be Unveiling the Sky's more extended epilogue... being as though it is about Alara and Gabe?? I don't know if that was really Ms. Allison's rationale or not, but I'm going with it, LOL! I was kinda bummed not to have a new playlist to monkey around with though, *giggle*. And novellas are so short... *whiiiiiine*
Alright, I'm done whining. I'm carrying on to the next and last book. I may have to go and grab some Godiva and Moscato.... I know, you all haven't heard that from me in a while, have you? but I'm kinda sad... it's the last book in the series...and I'm already a little worried... and I have a feeling it's gonna wreck me a little. Another woot woot for Kindle Unlimited! 4 'perfect moment' stars!

“There was too much love in his eyes, too much thoughtfulness in his everyday actions, for me to believe I wasn’t the one for him, too. But it was terrifying to love someone the way I loved him. I couldn’t imagine my life without him.”
Ah, Jeannine Allison, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
It’s no secret that Alara and Gabe’s novel, Unveiling the Sky was a book that touched my heart and left a permanent imprint on my soul. So when I found out there was going to be a follow on from their story, I was over the moon. Unveiling Forever does not disappoint. It has everything we’ve come to expect from this author, who somehow manages to manipulate my emotions better than anybody I’ve ever read. I laughed with them, cried with them, danced for joy and cuddled my kindle close. This was the perfect ending to their story. It showed that Alara’s life will never be free from the depression that plagues her, but that with Gabe’s love as her anchor, she can stay afloat when it strikes.
I love the honesty with which this author writes. Her words are poetic and beautiful and I’m constantly wowed by her understanding of the broken amongst us and her ability to make us feel less alone with her words.

The conclusion to Gabe and Alara’s story and it’s breathtakingly beautiful. Gabe and Alara are living together and still so much in love but will Alara be able to handle even more? Ahh you think you fell for Gabe in Unveiling The Sky well in this book you will fall even harder for him. I didn’t want the story to end but it’s so amazing that I had tears coming down and a huge smile on my face. 5/5 stars *** I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Copy of this book ***

Extended epilogue to the Unveiling The Sky
January 14, 2018
Alara and Gabe's story continues
This Novella has all the feels. Once you start you don't want to put it down. This author delivered another fabulous read. Jeannine outdoes herself once again. I love how this author brought up Derek and Sam. The suspense is killing me with those two.
Since this is a novella it is short and very sweet. I will say you don't want to miss out on these characters. You need to read Unveiling The Sky first before you read this, to get the back story of this wonderful couple.

This novella was the very best conclusion to Gabe and Alara's journey together. It's packed with everything that's great about their love story but isn't your usual perfect happily ever after. And that's what makes it perfect. Real life romance isn't easy and stories like this one remind us that the best love stories are worth fighting for. I loved everything about this novella and can't wait to read more from this author.
I received an arc of this book.

Aaaahhhh Alara & Gabe. The two character who made me fall in love with Jeannine Allison’s writing.
I adore these two; Alara in particular. I feel such a kinship with her as I, sometimes unfortunately, completely get what she goes through. She’s better than me though, because she has learned to accept Gabe’s love. Something I’m still struggling with 17 years later with my husband.
I am so thankful that we have this novella to see where these two are. I kind of hope there is a novella on each couple before the series ends.... *hint hint*
Given that it’s a novella, I’m not going to say much - because I don’t want to put spoilers in. But it is true Jeannine writing - joy, despair, love.
It is a quick and stunning read. And whilst I love these two, I want you to hurry up and give us Sam & Derek’s story!
Another beautiful instalment in the “Unveiling” series.

i can see why jeannine had to write this novella. naoimi, sherry and ellie's books all have epilogues panning years after the couple got together. there were engagement and wedding scenes. and kids! their family had grown and we will always be wondering what happened to gabe and allara.
this is such a sweet continuation to gabe and allara who are the original couple of this series. i love that their journey keeps on thriving and no matter what obstacle they encounter in life, these two will remain to be a forever!
plus, that scene with derek and sam! OMG! jeannine you better be finishing their book by now! i can't wait to experience the angst of this couple you've been teasing since book 1!!

This novella was a perfect way to give Alara and Gabe a fitting end to their love story. It showed us that nobody is perfect, we all have our struggles, but love is what truly matters at the end of the day. These characters are what made me fall in love with the author's writing and I was thrilled to get a glimpse into their lives once again!
Cannot wait to see these two and the rest of these fantastic characters again in Derek and Sam's story!!

Heartwarming Snippet!
It was so wonderful to revisit Alara and Gabe! I love how they're relationship is still just as strong as it was in Unveiling the Sky. This one is full of happiness, right along with normal day to day frustrations. I absolutely recommend this book!

I loved this little novella about Gabe and Alara. It was nice to continue their story and see the follow through of how they continued to build their relationship. Even through the hard times which we all have, the love they have for one another proves enough to get them through.
I just love all of the character stories that has come from this author. Jeannine is a definite one-click for her stories in the future for me!!

This is a novella that follows both Gabe and Alara who we meet in Unveiling the Sky. It is nice to see that they got their happily ever after. After both have been through a lot in regards to their pasts it is nice to know that they found each other and are planning their wedding. This is a beautiful conclusion to their love story. I loved it!

It was a quick, good read. I'm glad we got more of Alara and Gabe. 💜

Oh how I love a happy ending! This novella takes us into the next five years of the lives of Gabe & Alara, their marriage & how they've grown into a happy family. I couldn't be happier for this couple & it was a very nice way to end this series.

We know how Alara and Gabe met and fell in love with each other from Unveiling the Sky and we were following them through all of the other books from the Unveiling series. Now we got the chance to read a little bit more about their life in this beautifully written novella.
I always wanted to know more about their life together, now I got what I wanted and was not disappointed 😍.
I love their strength and their endless love. It's amazing to read how much they understand each other.
Thank you, Jeannine, for this beautiful sequel 💖
