I have been following this series from the start and my love for Maverick Prince knows no bounds. So when I saw LA cotton was writing another book for him and Lo I got excited, and then scared.
They already had their HEA so in my head I thought oh god this can’t be good. LA Cotton was going to blow everything up and make me cry... and oh boy did I cry. I cried so hard my head and my heart hurt and I had to stop and take a breather.
I felt like I was being suckered punched pretty much the whole way through this book and I had to keep reminding myself to trust LA Cotton as she has never done me wrong before.
Maverick is a swoony and as alpha as ever. I fell even more in love with him and I didn’t think that that was possible.
If you haven’t started the Wicked Bay series yet please go and start it now and fall in love with the world and the characters like I did. If you are up to date and waiting for Wicked Forever then take a deep breath, grab some tissues and get ready for the emotional rollercoaster coming your way.

Read other books by this author in the future: yes
MC: Maverick, Eloise
This starts of with the conclusion of Kyles and Loris story, but they still play a part in the conclusion of Ricks and Lo’s story. There is no easy HEA for those two. They face their greatest challenge, and we fear for them and the HEA. But at the end we get it.
I still have this issue, that Lo is too forgiving and still for me the relationship between her and her father is not really solved. But I liked the book and the ending.

“Lo wasn’t only my girl. She was the other half of my soul.
The better part of me. My anchor and my salvation.”
It is truly the end of an era! Eight books within the wicked bay series and I’m sad to see it end.
Maverick Prince and Lo “London” do get an HEA but not before going through a traumatic event that tests their relationship. Their love for one another is their strength. The other characters within this series are intertwined flawlessly in this conclusion.
Thank you LA Cotton for the Wicked Bay world!

What in the actual hell LA Cotton? What a freaking conclusion to the Wicked Bay series. I wasn't sure if my heart was going to survive. I loved that Maverick and Lo end the series. Wicked Bay has officially gone full circle.
Wicked Forever is a rollercoaster ride. I cried, I cried so hard and for so long. My heart hurt and I was not okay. Take everything you expect from this book and throw it out the window. LA Cotton does things I just didn't see coming.
Lo and Maverick are absolutely my favorite couple of the series. My heart loves them. But what I love most about them is they are just so relatable. Their struggles are real life and hit home. I absolutely cannot even imagine going through what they did in this book. It's life altering an soul shattering. I felt all the pain in my bones. I cried for them and wanted to hold the and tell them it would be okay.
What a freaking ending to this series! LA Cotton held nothing back with Wicked Forever. There was no better ending that what we got. I have no actual words for what I just read. I loved every second of Wicked Forever. I literally sat and read the whole thing in one sitting.
I love the Wicked Bay series. Wicked Beginnings was my first book from LA Cotton and also the book that hooked me. It's a bittersweet moment to finish this series. I love everyone got their happy but I'm sad that's it.

Wicked Forever, the final book in the fantastic Wicked Bay Series, is a bittersweet, emotional story. And I loved reading every page. It did not disappoint, featuring mainly on Maverick and Lo's future lives, but also on Kyle and Laurie's, with glimpses of the other featured characters from the Series. I will greatly miss this wonderful cast that I fell in love with a while ago when Wicked Beginnings first came out, but I'm so glad I got to enjoy such a wonderful Series and perfect Conclusion! 5 Emotion-Filled Stars!

September 7, 2020oh, this poor couple just cant catch a break
after what...5 years...11 books and novellas in this series...still no rest for these 2 people who deserve so much after what they've been through...
pain, anger, doubt, sense of loss, rejection, fear, heartache, regret, uncertainty, sadness - pretty much sums up their journey in this book...the good stuff belonged to the other heroes and heroines we catch up with here.
then the laters: ...2 weeks...3 weeks...3 months...6 months...13 months...the positives are so faarrrr out of reach and by the time its there, it was just...not enough...like settling...and certainly NOTHING like the intensity in their first book. Like they're only part of the people they were before...faded maybe? I cant really put into words the "lack" of it all...their promised future not realised...
like real life, I suppose, things change
but here, in this story I wanted the fantasy of passionate, in-your-face dreams reached HEA.
oh, of course they're happy enough:
they have their babies (unplanned)
he's coaching at their old high school (unplanned)
she gets what she's always wanted: to be near him, with him
he gets what he wants: to be with her & show her how much he loves her
I enjoyed that part, how no matter what, he was NOT letting her go
I just hope it lasts...what if there's another book with the undoing of this hfn?

My heart and soul feel complete!
I recently binged read the whole Wicked Bay series and felt my self needed more Maverick and Lo! I loved how their story weaves into the rest of the family but yet their story still felt incomplete (in a good way). Wicked Forever is what was missing!
Maverick and Lo have gone through hell and back in life and in their relationship and they show time and time again their love can pull them through anything!
Seeing their strength and their growth throughout the books and especially in Wicked Forever has been one of the most beautiful things! These two will FOREVER my faves and relationship goals material for years to come!
I couldn’t imagine a more perfect ending for these two and I will miss this family immensely! If you haven’t read any of the Wicked Bay books please start now!

4 'FOREVER LOVE' STARS!
Actual representation of me reading this book below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I went from this
to this by the end of this book
Anyways ~
This is the conclusion book for the Stone-Prince family and it has been a ride. I have been following this series since the first book - Wicked Beginnings. This is a a part of a series; therefore, this book cannot be read as a standalone.
Unlike the other books (which are dual POV), this book offers multiple POVs but mainly the POVs are Lo and Maverick.
What I liked about this book:
Why did I take a star off my rating?
Overall, I did enjoy this book and am just happy my favs got their HEA finally

What I liked about this book:
➼ This books kicks off concluding Kyle and Laurie story. I felt that they got that HEA in between some devastating circumstances and overall it was written well! I also felt that the author transitioned smoothly to the main couple (Lo and Maverick).
➼ The effects post the tragic accident was written beautifully by the author. I do not want to say much on it, but the author definitely did some research to fully depict the emotional, physical, and spiritual effects that something like that can impact a person as well as those around them.
➼ After EVERYTHING, Lo and Maverick finally get that HEA and I truly enjoyed that surprise in the epilogue.
Why did I take a star off my rating?
➼ Lo and her dad's relationship: I felt it was glossed over and the issues they had remained unresolved still by the end of this book. I get that other plot lines were bigger but I felt since it was the conclusion it should of been talked about more/solved
➼ Some of the characters that have been an integral to this series were just MIA. Like Macey... I mean regardless of how many times Maverick said he wouldn't want to see her or have her come home from touring with Devon, she would of have come home. This choice just didn't fit the Macey from previous books. Basically, she was just non-existent in this book and I overall felt she was a missing piece to this story.
Overall, I did enjoy this book and am just happy my favs got their HEA finally

‘You’re my forever, Lo.’
I have been waiting for this book for what seems like forever and LA Cotton did not disappoint! Lo and Maverick are the couple that brought me into L.A’s world and I’m sad that this families story has now come full circle and we finally see just how much they over come. This story is filled with heartache and you truest see how the power of love can help heal and protect those we love. I’m so unbelievably great full that I found lo and Mavericks story whilst I was trolling through the zon that day. I’m a fan of all of LA Cottons works but these two and this family as a whole in all there dysfunctional glory have over come soo much and I’m holding out hope that maybe one day they will pop up again be it in talk about that amazing Steinbeck basketball captain, or The girl that stole his heart. I wanted to throw my kindle across the room, I cried with Lo and wanted to slap Rick. I truly felt for Kyle and Laurie watching them overcome every that brought them to this point. This book truly is one to read especially if you’ve read the first 7 and believe me it is a must!! You will not be disappointed but have a box of tissues handy because you are going to need it!!!

LA Cotton certainly knows how to end a series. Although it’s mainly Mav and Lo the others are there, and it isn’t easy for them.
Mav has tried to propose but things never seemed right, every time something happened, and he’s never wanted to take the spotlight from anyone, but one thing he knows is he wants that and he wants it with Lo. Although Lo would love to have the wedding and the ring, she doesn’t need that to know how much she loves Mav and he loves her.
Everything is perfect Mav decides nothing is going to stop him proposing this time, and then it does.
Can Mav and Lo make it through another hurdle life gives them to get their happily ever after.
Amazing series conclusion – the Wicked Series is definitely a must read.

After all that Lo and Maverick have endured to be together if anyone deserves a happy ever after it is this couple but before that happens life has a few more curveballs that it is going to throw their way first.
We have always known that Maverick and Lo are soulmates and this story just reinforces that opinion. Their emotional journey is not only heartbreaking but inspiring as well as they prove once again that they are so much stronger together than apart. As a bonus not only did we get to catch up Lo and Maverick but with all the other characters that we know and love. If this series had to end it certainly ended on a high note.

I hate this is the end but man what a way to go!!!
Those who have loved Lo and Maverick since day one won't be disappointed.
Not going to lie there is a little bit of a shock to the system and it's like "can't they just get their happily ever after already?!!". But after everything is said and done you remember why Lo and Maverick are perfect for each other and why we fell in love with them to begin with. Thrown in little glimpses of the rest of the Wicked Bay couples we love and you have a perfect way to say goodbye.

I think the author was trying to kill me because I swear this story had my emotions all over the place and I was dying to know how things would go but then didn’t want it to end. In this story we follow each of the couples we have come to love from Wicked Bay, but it mostly follows the heartbreak of Lo and Maverick. I don’t want to spoil anything so this review will be vague but buckle up because you are about to take a ride of emotions.
August 16, 2020
I am an utter mess. Do yourself a favor and grab a tissue, or 2 or 3, before you start reading. You are going to need it! Between Maverick, Lo, and Laurie the tears will just flow. Knowing Maverick I'm not surprised by his attitude but that doesn't mean he didn't make me mad. But at the same time I think I was just more sad for everyone than mad. This was a fabulous ending for a wonderful series. It was well worth the wait. And that epilogue!! Loved it!! Though I will miss this group I'm glad they all got their HEA's and I hope that we'll get glimpses of them in other series down the road. Hey, you never know and a girl can hope. Thank you for this amazingly sad, sweet, short read! *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
August 17, 2020
Wicked Forever is amazing!!! Lianne did this book justice. I am just super sad to see it end. Wicked Bay series will always be one of my top favorites. The emotions I felt while reading where raw and had me teary-eyed. You'll laugh, cry, smile, get mad, feel happy and fall in love with the characters. All of the Wicked Bay characters will hold a special spot in my heart.
August 17, 2020
I was not expecting to have my heart ripped out & put back together in one book. I'm going to miss all of this characters. Lo & Mavericks have never had a easy path with there relationship . Two strong people who finally came full circle & got the future they both deserved.
August 18, 2020
I am so sad this series is over! I have loved every minute of Lo, Maverick, Kyle and Laurie and I wish there was still more. Not going to lie I cried so hard in this book. But I love how everything came full circle with their story. This is a wonderful series full of amazing character that made me swoon, laugh out loud and cry and I'm going to miss everyone one of them. Such a good book.
September 5, 2020
Perfect ending to the series. Although I love Maverick and Lo, I wished it had more of the other characters from the rest of the series.
August 19, 2020
This book has left me with a hangover and a crying mess. Loved it and would recommend this series to everyone.
September 2, 2020
What a perfect ending to a wonderful series. It def went a place I never imagined but it was nice to close out the stories of all of our favorite characters and see them finally get everything they ever wanted.
This has been one of my favorite series by LA Cotton and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Mrs. Cotton captured hearts all over the world with the Stone Princes. Kyle and Rick, Macie and Summer, Kiera, Lo, you couldn't help but love them all.
This book was so sad but also so epic. The entire series was epic. I'm so sad to see it go but looking forward to seeing whats next on the horizon for Cotton.

Forever Wicked and Wicked Forever
I am so mad at LA Cotton. Here's why: (please read this in a gruff, angry voice with a glare in order to fully be immersed in the anger.)
1. She made me cry.
2. The rainbows are hard to imagine through the rain.
3. She is mean.
4. She made terrible things happen.
5. She is very mean.
(I don't think you are taking this as seriously. You're scoffing instead of angry glaring. Unacceptable. )
Fine. Let's start over.
LA Cotton,
You're a mean one.
You broke my heart.
You made my heart all mushy to run it over with a truck.
It now lies in pieces thumping out its last beats...
(Well that got dark quick...)
You patched it up with hollow promises. You gave me half hearted hope. You made me doubt. You made me cry. You broke me.
You are just lucky this is my favorite kind of story- the kind that make you feel. The kind that give you a headache the entire rest of the day from the crying. The kind of story that makes you feel evey win, loss, and love. The kind that makes your favorite characters already etched in your heart and mind, a bone deep tattoo. A couple goals.
Wicked Forever is the end of an era but a beautiful beginning too. LA Cotton may have shut down our hopes for endless future books but she gave us something we have all been craving...more. More future, more love, and more things to celebrate.
So I may be mad about how we got here, but I am smiling so hard my cheeks hurt. #wickedforever

"Maverick wasn't going to let me in. Which meant I had to decide whether to force my way back in. Or sit back and wait and hope for the best."
5 Wicked Stars!! What a fantastic end of the series!!! I'm sad, but so happy with how it ended!
Lo & Maverick have been through so much together and they can't wait for their happily ever after. Maverick is ready to propose to Lo, but the timing just never seems to be right for these two for varying reasons. But when the moment finally presents itself, it's on! And it just goes up from there!
This has been such an amazing series!! I was hooked from book one and this last book was everything I needed right now! It's just quite honestly, perfection!

It is always hard to read the end of a book series, Wicked Forever is book 8 in the Wicked Bay series, by L. A. Cotton, and what a wrap of it was. NOTHING like I was expecting it to be yet, everything I could want it to be. Except for the emotional toll it took.
Just when we read all 7 previous books and everyone has the happily ever afters. L. A. Cotton has to stir the book up once again. This is not your normal quick story to see what everyone is up to in Wicked Bay. No, no, no. life has a way of turning things upside down and seeing if love can conquer all.
This is a short review because as this story is on the shorter side, I don't want to give anything away. I will tell you its an emotional ride for Maverick and Lo and just proves that family and love are the answer.
You MUST read the previous seven stories leading up this Wicked Forever, I will tell you it is not just Maverick and Lo's story. There is so much packed into this forever story.
Very well written. Grabs your attention from the start and rips your heart out in the next!!!

et me start by saying . . . holy epic conclusion to the Wicked Bay series!!!
Laurie and Kyle find their forever while Lo and Maverick find themselves in the fight of their lives. Through it all family and love remain the binds that tie them all together, but will it be enough?
I loved this story! Kyle is still the glue holding everyone together while making them laugh and smile. Laurie is still brimming with positivity even when the odds are stacked against her. Lo is still loving and loyal and willing to do anything to support those she loves. And, Maverick is still the stubborn guy that closes off his emotions and shuts down even though he feels so deeply and intensely.
I adored one last visit with these characters that balance each other perfectly to get through the good and the bad. wicked Forever was a real roller-coaster of emotions and, up until the final page, I wasn't sure what the end game would look like . . . but it was perfect! 5 stars.

This was the perfect epilogue to tie together the best series. I absolutely love this author, I love her writing her style, and yes sometimes the story hurts, but it’s a journey, and I trust L.A. Cotton to get us to our HEA. It took a long time to get us to this point, but when we finally get there, when we finally make it to the end, it’s the best ending for our favorite Wicked Bay family! Maverick and Eloise had a really long road, but they made it! I also love how so many others got their HEAs too, characters you didn’t see coming unless you read the other books and novellas in the series, which I highly recommend!! But this book was definitely an emotional roller coaster (that introduced characters for future books), took us on a crazy journey in itself, and helped close the Wicked Bay chapter of hearts. I, for one, will miss them immensely, and would love to see more of the Wicked Bay family in the future!!

Im not ready for this series to end 😭! What better way to end a series then to end it with the one couple who started it all Maverick and Lo! I have loved them since the beginning. Wicked Forever was the icing on the cake to another incredible seriers by L.A.. Maverick and Lo have beaten the odds and proved everyone wrong. Well can they stick together when tragedy strikes or will this be the one thing they can't come back from? I balled my eyes out many times reading this. I felt for Lo and what she and Mav were going through. Many times I thought how is she so strong. The ending was the mother of all endings and the perfect way to conclude their story. This was the series that drew me in to L.A.'s writing. It will forever hold a special place in my heart. Bring the tissues you will need them!

This is the 8th book in this brilliant series and the conclusion to Lo and Maverick's story and what an emotional and simply phenomenal way to finish it.
I have loved this couple since the beginning and have really loved watching their relationship grow from strength to strength. They are so perfectly matched but now their relationship is being seriously tested and pushed to the limit.
My emotions were all over the place with this one. I'm not going to lie, a few tears were shed. Lianne had done a superb job with this one she has poured heart and emotion into it making you feel every emotion along with them.
I had this devoured in a few hours as I honestly couldn't put it down, it was sssoooo good.

5 stars .. and all the feels!!! I discovered this books, these characters not long ago and after Wicked Forever .. . I already miss them!
Wicked Forever is an amazing conlusion for Mav and Lo. From the book no 1 they gave me a lot of heartache, angst , tears.. and joy. I cannot lie, sometimes I wanted to shake them (and their friends too!!!) ... I wanted to scream on the author - Just gimmie more HEA, I'm begging You ! It was amazing journey, and I wouldn't change anything in this moment. I would read and reread this series again, just because - I'm not ready to say goodbye. Not only to Lo and Mav but also to every single character I've met in this series.
Wicked Forever is like Wicked Perfect Ending of an Epic Love Story. IF You haven't read this book - one clik today! It is an amazing book.
Highly reccomenden tutle and ... series!

The conclusion of the Wicked Bay series is the perfect cherry on top. We get to experience all our favorite characters again. This conclusion will rip your heart out, so grab your tissues. While not all couples go into depth, we get to see more of Laurie, Kyle, Maverick, and Lo. The struggles and tribulations they experience are a wonderful display of how true love works. You have to trust and you have to work hard. Love isn't all sunshine and roses. Weathering the storm together will make your love shine brighter than ever before. So, grab your box of kleenex, sit in a comfortable corner, and dive in. You won't want to come up for air until the final page.
