Iris Boys #4.5

Forever & Always

Rate this book
Life. Loss. Love.

The Iris Boys and I have come through so much together. I’ve learned how to fight for what I want, live through loss, and love beyond compare.

For us, normal is relative, not universal.

And as much as I want to say that’s the end of it, that we lived happily ever after ... that’s not the case. At least, not yet. There’s one more job we have to take on. This one is personal and the end result could very well tear us all apart.

Lucy Smoke, also known as Lucinda Dark for her fantasy works, has a master’s degree in English and is a self-proclaimed creative chihuahua. She enjoys feeding her wanderlust, cover addiction, as well as her face, and truly hopes people will stop giving her bath bombs as gifts. Bath’s get cold too fast and it’s just not as wonderful as the commercials make it out to be when the tub isn’t a jacuzzi.

When she’s not on a never-ending quest to find the perfect milkshake, she lives and works in the southern United States with her beloved fur-baby, Hiro, and her family and friends.

This was a great quick read. I enjoyed the story. I love the characters. It was great to read a little more about them.

I liked it but wish it was more and less. More details on wedding, honeymoon, then caper. The ending was too fast and I really hated the ending. There should have been a baby.....she went thru too much to take that away from her. Kinda wished I hadn’t read this one even with the sexy times.

OMG this is the end?!

I stayed up way too late because I could not out this book down! I loved the whole series so much and I needed to know what happened! Texas is still my favorite! Thank you Lucy Smoke for the wonderful series!

A nice series ending!

Forever & Always is book 5 in the Iris Boys series and novella length and it brings another mystery to solve for the group. They are thrust into another adventure with drama, excitement and danger that fortifies their bond. This was a great ending to an entertaining series.

It is a must that the Iris Boys series is read in order. Each book in the series has its own conclusion but the characters and events carry on from book to book. This is a fun binge read!

For a short story this one leaves you on the edge of your seat and with the ending you never saw coming... I do have to say that I may have cried a little at the end of the last two books...what a great series and I'm sad to see it end.

Forever and Always

Not feeling that ending at all, wish I had not read it because this gal suffered most of her life and deserved better than that. It just pisses me off. I've not given a 2 but yeah I think that this ending is going down as the worst.

forever and always

Last book of the series and it was really good.
Iris had one last favour to ask, and Harlow and her men were off to Australia instead of their honeymoon.
To find a missing person.
Really good storyline, twists and turns.
And spicy

Pretty good

I like this series. I'm glad we have a follow up ending. My only issue is the book's pace felt off to me - slow in some spots while rushed in others.

So so

There was no real depth to the story. The plot was lackluster and predictable. I wish it could have just been.....more.

After feeling pleased with the first four installments of the series I found the final two be disappointing and rushed.
