Ever #2
Everlast
From USA Today Bestselling Author, Alex Grayson, comes an emotionally captivating love story that rivals time....
I met him when I was eight and he saved me from the bullies on the school playground.
The next day, he called me his girl.
When we were thirteen, we began to look at each other differently.
At fourteen, we shared our first kiss.
We were sixteen the first time we made love and promised to always cherish each other.
The night before we graduated high school, he asked me to marry him, and the day before we left to attend college, I did.
Our first child came when we were twenty-three. Our second, when we were twenty-eight.
Lincoln was my once in a lifetime, my destiny. I was his happily ever after, his kismet. Our future was forevermore written in the stars. The indescribable kind of love everyone searches for, but rarely ever finds. A love so strong, one lifetime wouldn’t be enough. His soul was my mate, and mine was his.
Our life was perfect.
Until it wasn’t.
Fate brought us together.
Now it will tear us apart.

5+ "You are my Kismet" Stars!
... An everlasting love story.
Warning: This is not your traditional romance.
I took a breather for three days straight because of Everlast. I thought I was prepared for the worst things to happen like death, separation, love triangle—or whatsoever. But unfortunately, I wasn't. I trusted myself that I could manage the impact because I've read a lot of emotional stories, but I have nothing, not even an ounce of explanation how this one affected me so much.
Note: This is a tearjerker romance.
Lincoln and Molly were best friends since they were kids. The prequel, Forevermore, which you must read prior to this, was their story when they met at 8, had their first kiss, first love, marriage, first child, and first everything. They're trying to be a perfect family, be the best parents they could for their children, Gray and Gemma. Their life was full of smiles and laughters, until it wasn't.
Accepting the fate of Lincoln and Molly wasn't easy. It was a struggle because it felt like I belong to them, to their family. Thanks for the storytelling. Their grief and hope was palpable. I wish I could reach through the pages and give them a hug.
IF YOU THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT, PLEASE GO BLIND.
*Contains Spoilers*
I didn't get emotional because someone between them would eventually leave. It was because of Lincoln's hope, the tiny hope to make his love one better was heartbreaking and inspiring. It wasn't only that. Their daily living in-between was the most painful part of all. But their love for each other, for their children, for their family saved the day! It was one of a kind of love that I envied. A love that I'm always hoping to witness every time I start a book.
Molly was a beautiful heroine inside out. She's a selfless woman. A great wife for Lincoln. The best mother for Gray and Gemma. I adored her courage to face the inevitable. I adored her for making her family happy even she's terrified. I adored her for accepting her fate. Watching her eventually slipped apart from her family was nothing but tearful.
*Spoiler-free*
Lincoln and Molly are the definition of the term soul mate. I have no doubts and concerns about them, they were written to make readers like me love 'em. Lincoln, in a word, devoted. Molly, in a word, brave. I will never ever forget not just their story, but also the other epic stories that was a part of this amazing journey.
I do NOT recommend this to those who dislikes: Extremely sad or distressing stories.
I extremely recommend this to those who likes: Alex Grayson, friends to lovers, emotional read, historical romance, and a happy ever after.

Molly + Lincoln = 💕4 ever(last)
“How did I ever get so lucky to have met you?”
“It was kismet,” he murmurs.
“It was fate,” I reply.
He pulls me closer. “We were written in the stars since the beginning of time.”
“It was our destiny.”
Oh, my poor broken heart...
There were tears in my eyes, then I cried and then I sobbed, from chapter 10 until the end...
Yes, Molly and Lincoln’s love story was epic.
Written in the stars.
Their love was poured from every page, every scene, every paragraph.
“Eternity with you wouldn’t be enough for me, Molly. I could be with you in every lifetime there’s ever been, and I’d still want more. There’s no beginning or end to our love. It’s simply always existed, and it always will.” Lincoln
The author’s superb writing gripped my heart and she told me the story of the most beautiful couple who shared an everlasting true love.
“Our story doesn’t end when you stop breathing. It’s eternal and everlasting.” Lincoln
“Lincoln’s right. It will forever continue to live on until the end of time.” Molly
But life isn’t fair and sometimes she deals a bad hand...
However, I was in awe of how deep Molly and Lincoln’s love and devotion were.
“I lovvve you nooow. I’lll love you tommmorrow. I’ll looove you forreverrr.” Molly
This story was filled with a plethora of emotions, soul and heart wrenching, raw, gripping, yet so beautiful and with an ending you couldn’t have asked for more!
A story that will hold a special place in my heart, a love story that will live forevermore...
“I smile, knowing that the next life we share together, will be just as magnificent as the one we lived as Molly and Lincoln.
Just as I drift off into an eternal sleep, a beautiful voice whispers in my ear.” Lincoln
“I’m waiting….”

February 20, 2021I’ve decided to stop here and not read anymore. I read the first book and was looking forward to the second one but Listen life is hard and so sad sometimes that I barely watch the news. So Right now I won’t read something that I know will just break my heart.
When I started the first book I though to myself something is going to happen this is too good to be true and you know what I was right. I have yet to read this kind of love story and there be a happy ending and I wonder why???
Can’t there be a love so pure and have a happy ending without all this angst and drama.

“I love you. I have from the day I first met you when I didn’t even know the meaning of the word. Many people aren’t lucky enough to fall in love with their soul mates, let alone find true love, period. I’m lucky because I’ve not only been blessed with a wonderful wife who I love with every single piece of my heart, but I get to keep falling in love with her every day over and over again. I’ll love you until the last breath leaves my body and my heart no longer beats.”
E P I C! 💔💔😭😭
This is by far the saddest book I’ve ever read; I wasn’t even in the mood to cry but I read it anyway.
Let me make something clear, I rarely cry over a book but with this one I was sobbing from 30% until the end. The only thing that made my eyes not being super puffy is that I took breaks almost every three chapters. If I hadn’t done this, I would be a total mess (now I’m just a mess).
My heart broke so many times but I smiled a lot too. Lincoln and Molly together are everything and what they feel for each other is the absolute unconditional and undying love. I loved them sooo much and I loved Gray, Gemma, and every side character in this book.
I don’t think I can write much more, I loved it so much that even though I cried a lot, I really don’t mind. If you have read and cried over A Thousand Boy Kisses just be sure you’ll cry a lot more with this one.
Dora, just so you know, I’m blaming you for my being a mess right now, I only added this to my tbr because of your review 💖😅

The author said she struggled with labeling this book a romance, but in my opinion this is love in it’s purest form.
From such a young age, Molly and Lincoln, clicked instantly, they were never apart from each other from that day on. They married, had kids, stable jobs and their own house; they had what we call a picture perfect life, until it didn’t...
They had such a deep-soul connection that not many people get to experience, and to see their love and devotion for one another, in one of the hardest challenges life has to give, was beautiful.
”I have no doubt if we’re both alive and breathing, whether in these bodies or others, I’d find you. You’ve always been my soul mate, Molly. God made my soul to perfectly match yours.”
I didn’t expect to find this book so hard to read, I started crying from the 20% mark so this book is not for the faint of heart, keep that in mind before starting this duet.
The subplot (the diaries) was such an unexpected thing, it made the whole book even more emotional, specially with those epilogues.
It genuinely has one of the most exceptional HEA of all the books I’ve read.
”I love you, baby. Forevermore.”
Thank you Dora (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...) for bringing this to my attention, you always give me the best books to cry ♥️

5 emotionally stunning stars
This book. I can’t even find the words. It’s an epic, epic love story that is heartwrenchingly emotional and that literally left me a blubbering mess. It’s emotionally brutal, and I sobbed and ugly cried my way through it. I’ve just finished it and am feeling hungover in all the ways, but OMG, what a story!
Before you read this book, make sure you have read Forevermore– the prequel novella that introduced us to Lincoln and Molly as children, followed them into first love and sets the scene for their epic love story.
This book begins a few years after Forevermore finished off. Lincoln and Molly are married, happy, and blissfully in love. Their connection is incredible, and they are true soulmates in every way. But they’re about to be faced with a challenge like never before, and it’s going to change everything.
OMG, this love story is everything. Lincoln and Molly are each other’s whole worlds. Their love is beautiful, unshakable and the kind of forever-love that people dream about. They are truly each other’s second halves, and I loved seeing how openly and honestly they cherish everything that is between them.
And Lincoln! OMG, the man is romantic perfection. Sweet, sexy, swoony and completely devoted, the man owns my heart.
Being completely honest here, had I known what this book was about before I started it, I wouldn’t have even picked it up. As much as I love Alex Grayson as a writer, this just isn’t the kind of book that I would choose to read. There was even a point when I was partway through the book and realised what was happening that I thought about not continuing. But by that point I was too invested so I bravely continued on. And I’m so glad that I did… reading until 2am this morning, and then I was awake at 6.30am to finish it off. I couldn’t put it down.
It hurt in the worst way, but the theme of all-consuming, everlasting love, is so beautiful, that you can’t help but love this story and its bittersweet ending. I feel like I journeyed with these characters, I felt absolutely everything along with them, and I’m glad that I experienced the epicness of this romance. It’s a love story that will stay with me for a very long time.
Beautifully written – 5 stars.

With my heart torn and tattered, I’ve shed tears and laughed out loud, oohed and ahhed and even asked for a miracle. And I've appreciated every moment spent inside the pages of a truly exceptional reading experience that made me think, wonder and hope.
Throughout the pages, one word stood out above all others to me -- “devotion” – total devotion. Molly and Lincoln were devoted totally to each other in their relationship always.
A magical and hauntingly beautiful journey that will take your breath away, carry you into the great beyond and back again. An epically everlasting love story – an unforgettable and never-ending love between two amazing and remarkable characters that will “forevermore” and “everlast” in my memories.

REVIEW: 6 STARS
"We might make it through this, but we'll never be whole again."
First and foremost, there is a warning at the beginning of this book specifically stating this isn't a normal romance, but it's Molly and Lincoln's love story - and so after reading it, I agree with her labeling it as a romance. It will upset many, but this was one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read and will maintain that forever and always. Well......Forevermore.
I don't think I can adequately explain how beautiful this love story of Molly and Lincoln's was. It was moving and intimate, but it was intense with a quite painful reality attached to it.
Having said all that, I am a wreck. It is not often I hand out a SIX STAR review, and I can probably count on one hand how many I've given. I find it's usually the super emotional ones that make me feel something beyond my normal perceived emotional limitations - an author that's gone out of a comfort zone of sorts and told the really hard story. Because, I really don't ever cry while reading a book. A few have hit me on that emotional level - I admit, but usually it's just tears - not outright, audible crying. This book had me hiccuping and crying and wiping my tears for 75% of the book. I even cried when I called my friend to tell her exactly how beautiful it was....but I cried practically the whole damn time I was reading it. You guys, this book broke me. It honestly broke me. But I loved it and couldn't walk away from it. But man, it broke me...
"I figured if there ever was a time to wish upon a star, now is the time."
I felt like a million possibilities were running through my head with every potential outcome while I was reading this. This was one of those stories that will irrevocably twist my heart and I will be thinking about it for a very long time. This one will sit on my shelf signed - mark my words. It will also go down as one of my favorites. I know that I will be following Alex Grayson a little more closely now because I loved her voice in this one. I always want more heartrending stories like this and she seems to have a strength in spades for heartfelt love.
The possibilities we find ourselves clinging to in our darkest, most desperate hours, while they may sound crazy, they sure seem to be a lifeline for positivity sometimes. The love between Molly and Lincoln definitely spanned generations and their thought processes were quite interesting / intriguing to look in on. I mean, what’s the real possibility of their internal speculation being probable? Plausible? It was neat to ponder, I won’t lie. And what exactly is fate? I believe Molly and Lincoln are the true definition of just that. Because, my gosh - it still hurts, but they were everything I needed in a new couple from a new-to-me author. The ability to sink into this book and ignore the outside world for the little time I get to read daily, this one filled me with all the reasons as to why I love to read. Emotional. Painful. Heartfelt. Real-life. It engaged my emotional self on every level while I read it. I’m still reeling, but I’m also smiling.
They are times I wish I met my husband when we were younger.... high school sweethearts, something along those lines. Molly and Lincoln’s life long love is exactly how our love is - just a shorter version, per se. I oftentimes compare book boyfriends to my husband because, well, he’s literally perfect in my eyes. So when I come across a love, or a man that loves his woman just as deeply (never mind the fact that an author can make me feel my love on their pages), it puts the book on a whole new emotional level for me. This one really hit me square in the jaw. My heart took a beating with this one....I’m not sure I’ll recover from it anytime soon. Gosh, my heart hurts. It physically aches. This entire story is a powerful lesson in taking life one day at a time and enjoying it to the fullest. It’s about looking for joy in every little thing you do.
I found myself questioning this: I don’t know how Grayson wrote this. I can only imagine she was curled up in the fetal position with about 40 boxes of tissues spread around her, completely used up. I’m bawling just reading it. I can’t imagine living it, breathing it, pouring it out on the pages for everyone to read - let alone write it. Talk about laying your soul bare for others to see.
This book is the written manual for the purest of true loves....and I will never be the same again.
My poor heart.
"There's no beginning or end to our love. It's simply always existed, and it always will."

I believe Molly and Lincoln are the true definition of just that. Because, my gosh - it still hurts, but they were everything I needed in a new couple from a new-to-me author. The ability to sink into this book and ignore the outside world for the little time I get to read daily, this one filled me with all the reasons as to why I love to read. Emotional. Painful. Heartfelt. Real-life. It engaged my emotional self on every level while I read it. I’m still reeling, but I’m also smiling.
They are times I wish I met my husband when we were younger.... high school sweethearts, something along those lines. Molly and Lincoln’s life long love is exactly how our love is - just a shorter version, per se. I oftentimes compare book boyfriends to my husband because, well, he’s literally perfect in my eyes. So when I come across a love, or a man that loves his woman just as deeply (never mind the fact that an author can make me feel my love on their pages), it puts the book on a whole new emotional level for me. This one really hit me square in the jaw. My heart took a beating with this one....I’m not sure I’ll recover from it anytime soon. Gosh, my heart hurts. It physically aches. This entire story is a powerful lesson in taking life one day at a time and enjoying it to the fullest. It’s about looking for joy in every little thing you do.
I found myself questioning this: I don’t know how Grayson wrote this. I can only imagine she was curled up in the fetal position with about 40 boxes of tissues spread around her, completely used up. I’m bawling just reading it. I can’t imagine living it, breathing it, pouring it out on the pages for everyone to read - let alone write it. Talk about laying your soul bare for others to see.
This book is the written manual for the purest of true loves....and I will never be the same again.
My poor heart.

Unforgettable and Inspiring
In my review of Forevermore I said "The perfect introduction of Molly & Lincoln journey" Their growth. Their Love. And that was obviously before I even read this book. I'll say this "Forevermore (book 1) is now in my eyes more perfect than ever"
"You steal my heart every time I look at you, Molly.”
Going into book 2...I was already 1000% invested in their relationship. As if I'd grown right along with them and took their journey by their side. I felt what they felt, smiled with the good times and cried during their low times. Their love was epic and beautiful as can be... but life happens and sometimes it's not pretty.
It’s strange, but it was like my soul recognized yours.”
This book has such powerful emotions that page after page the feels come at you.
The most purest love within the pages.
It takes a special type of writer to evoke these many feelings. My heart smiled, broke and cried yet I couldn't get enough. And when I put my ereader down Molly and Lincoln didn't stay behind. They're with me ♡ Forevermore ♡
This is an Unforgettable and Inspiring love story. I highlighted many many quotes I can easily turn to and reflect on. Food for thought.

If it is possible to have a love/hate relationship with an author, than this book has done that....I absolutely hate Alex for ripping my dang heart out!!! I knew it was coming after reading Forevermore, but I did not expect this story! My heart is broken. My emotions are shot. The absolute worst book hangover ever!! After crying and screaming that the story couldn’t be what it was, I realized, she wrote an amazing love story for the ages. One that will always stand the test of time. Poignant. Classic. Heart wrenching. Soul searching. True love. Love that will always last. This book is by far the most emotional story I’ve read this year. I couldn’t put it down but I was afraid to get to the end. The emotions were raw and real and absolutely worth the read! Amazing!!❤️

All. The. Feels.
Everlast is going to stay with me for a long time. It’s emotional. It’s real. It’s raw. And it has moments where I needed to just breathe.
Alex Grayson has my heart. I love all her books, but this...dear sweet heaven she’s made me a believer. Alex took her craft and spun gold.
Lincoln and Molly have a very special bond. They have a that true love that’s so hard to find. It’s pure and it’s beautiful to read their story. The pages breathed life and love along with heartache and despair.
I felt like I was living with this family. The descriptive writing was outstanding and the flow was spot on. Everlast is a big book, yet I couldn’t put it down. (Started last night and finished today.)
I strongly recommend reading Forevermore before reading Everlast but OMG I’m still trying to process saying goodbye to this story. I’m an avid reader and I usually forget each book from one week to the next...but Everlast will be with me for an eternity. Yep, I’m calling it. It was THAT good. No sugarcoating. No need to embellish.
Hands down a must read!

More than 5 stars , i just can’t stop crying 😭😭😭

Everlast is the second book in Alex Grayson’s Ever series, and my feelings toward this one are somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, this was an addictive and emotional read. On the other hand, there was something about the writing that didn’t quite work for me. I’m not quite sure what it was – it’s one of those cases where I wish I could put it into words, but I’m not sure what it was that was missing – but it meant there were times when the emotion and connection did not hit the way it should have.
Although there were times when I wasn’t into this as much as I had hoped to be, it did keep me turning the pages to see how everything came together. This story will not be for everyone – it is not the typical happily ever after that people expect with romance – but it does offer something different for those who enjoy reincarnation stories and heartbreak. It is one that hits hard at certain points, then puts a small smile on your face in others.
All in all, Everlast wasn’t quite what I had hoped it would be – it’s not quite a full four-star rating, but it was too addictive to be given a three-star rating – it was certainly one I could not stop reading.

Technically, this is the 3rd time I've read Everlast and I fell in love all over again. For a love so pure, as shared in Forevermore, to grow so strong with a bond so unbreakable, unshakeable, it makes me wish I was 40 years younger and could find that kind of love. The characters are all amazing, but it's the bond that Molly and Lincoln have that makes the book so hard to put down. Another reason I love this book so hard is the family foundations and the love of their friends that nurture their love for each other. Molly and Lincoln's love story is a story that will stay with you long after you reached the last page. This will be one of those books that I'll look forward to reading at least once a year. It's that good, that heartwarming. It's the stuff that memorable movies are made from.
PLEASE NOTE: You MUST read Forevermore prior to Everlast. Forevermore is so beautiful, but it's just the beginning. Everlast is "the rest of the story" and can't be fully understood or appreciated without reading Forevermore first.

5 top shelf, best book ever, ugly crying stars!!!!!
This book now goes at the top on my favorite emotional reads list. I read it days ago, finished it in one day, and haven't stopped thinking about it since. I won't be able to do it justice with a review. I don't want to ruin the story. I just want everyone to read it. Now, I know emotional books aren't for everyone. Some people don't want to cry when they read a book.(But you should try this one anyway, it's that good) For me, if I cry the story has gotten to me. It has pulled at my heart strings and made me "feel" the love, drama, heartbreak, turmoil...god just all of it and this one does all of that times a thousand.
Lincoln - book boyfriend, book husband, wish list man material. Not only is he hot and swoony, he has loved Molly since they were eight. He took one look at her getting picked on at the playground and his loving protective side took over. And that hasn't changed for him....ever.
Molly - She's loved Lincoln since elementary school, gave her heart and soul to him and when she needs him the most he does not disappoint.
As I'm reading this to myself, I am rolling my eyes. It sounds so corny, so simple and this book is in no way corny or simple. So much happens, there are other relationships with Lincoln and Molly's parents, their children, their friends. Every relationship is important and quite possibly perfect.
Then on top of all that there is a box of journals. Found in the attic of their new home that will end up adding a dimension to the story that will make you question and think about things you probably rarely have. It.Is.So.Good!
Obviously, I loved these two books. I recommend them with all my heart. You will need tissues (probably the whole box), you will get nothing done, you will need some breaks to breathe and clear the tears. But if you like a story about true love...this is it!
**This is not a HEA story, it will be sad all the way to the end. Well, depending on your thoughts. It was a sad kind of happy. A "forevermore", love never dies kind of happy. A soul bending, heart crushing kind of happy. Does that make sense??!!

Sadly this book took a right or should I say wrong turn. Based on the novella Forevermore, which I adored, I had certain expectations which of course can be dangerous. Those expectations were ruined with Everlast. Nothing wrong with the writing. This is just a preference thing. I didn’t like the direction the story was headed. Simple as that. That’s the wonderful thing about books. We all interpret books differently so don’t let my review deter from reading Everlast.

Such a heart rendering and poignant story! Heartache can’t even describe how I feel right now and yet I’m soothed by the ending and left with so many thoughts of “what if”. I’m contemplating so many thoughts about the afterlife and how creatively Alex Grayson added to my own wondering.
This is a true love and “forevermore” soulmate story in every sense of the word, including the tears it drew from deep within me. The Everlast-ing effects of this story are etched in my heart and soul forever!
This book is like no other. I loved these characters and their love story 😍

It's taking me awhile to write this review because this was an emotionally draining story and I'm not sure I've cried so much reading a book but no matter what this book was an incredible read. This story destroyed me, broke me, ripped out my heart and somewhat put it back together, yet a small piece was still missing.
I can't say much because you have to read this book to understand the journey but be prepared because this journey may be the most heartbreakingly beautiful one you read this year!

One of the best books I've ever read.
Oh my word, will my heart ever recover? Will the tears ever stop?
This book. There are just not enough words to explain the magnificence of this book. UGLY CRY ALERT!
What a very rare thing indeed for something to have such a profound effect on your life. This book has pulled so much raw emotion from deep within me, I don't know if I can be put back together.
The story of Lincoln and Molly is one of the most beautiful stories ever written. This book is a true testament to pure and real love. A love that will live on forever. A love that never dies.
I don't want to post any spoilers, and please don't read any of you find them. Just grab a blanket, a box of tissues and some chocolate, curl up and let the author devastate your soul with this masterpiece.

Lincoln and Molly are happily married when Everlast begins. Their bond is strong and everlasting. Then something comes along to test that bond, and I was along for the ride as they broke my heart into a million tiny little pieces. Will that bond stay strong or will it be severed when life becomes too tragic to bear?
Be forewarned - Everlast is emotional and heartwrenching and you'll need a box or two of tissue while you read. But honestly, though I shed a thousand tears, I loved Everlast. It's the timeless kind of love story, the kind of any story that stays with you for a long, long time. Thank you Alex for this beautiful tearjerker.

This tragically beautiful love story will take readers through so many emotions that when the final page is turned, they will forever be changed.
*Reading the prequel novella, Forevermore, is truly needed in order to experience Lincoln and Molly’s love story completely. It is Free on most retailers*
I struggle to find the words to give this book the credit that it deserves, while allowing readers the full experience of this one of a kind love story. Lincoln and Molly have a connection few couples will ever experience. Meeting at the young age of eight, and immediately becoming best friends, each one knows that the other is meant to be by their side. What starts as a pure and innocent friendship grows and matures into an unconditional love and passion that most wish and dream to find for themselves.
When we join Lincoln and Molly in Everlast, they are happily married and discussing new, exciting adventures for their family’s future. As we are drawn into this family full of affection and happiness, we cannot miss the clues being dropped that there is an underlying issue that is sure to cause Lincoln, Molly and all their loved ones, to be changed forever.
When the “bomb” is dropped, the shock felt by Lincoln and Molly is so strong that readers will feel it as well. This begins the rollercoaster of emotions that will flood reader’s minds and hearts throughout the rest of this story. I can honestly say, I have never felt emotions as clearly or as strongly as I did while being immersed in this love story. I cried right alongside Molly and Lincoln, while also smiling and laughing at all the moments of happiness (and believe me there are MANY of them). Ms. Grayson begins this book with a letter to readers, she states that she, “struggled on whether I should label this as romance or not...”. I for one am so grateful she did. The disservice that would have been done to this story, as well as this couple, would have been heartbreaking.
This EPIC love story absolutely needs to be felt first hand by readers. It should be shared and read by anyone who would like to witness love between a couple in its purest and most honest form. Lincoln and Molly will forever stay with me, as a reader, as a wife and as a mother.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
I met him when I was eight and he save me from the bullies on the school playground. The next day he called me his girl. When we were thirteen we began to look at each other differently. At fourteen, we shared our first kiss. We were sixteen the first time we made love and promised to always cherish each other. The night before we graduated high school, he asked me to marry him, and the day before we left to attend college I did. Our first child came when we were twenty-three. Our second when we were twenty-eight. Lincoln was my once in a lifetime, my destiny. I was his happily ever after, his kismet. Our future was forevermore written in the stars. The indescribable kind of love everyone searches for but rarely ever finds. A love so strong, one lifetime wouldn't be enough. His soul was my mate and mine was his. Our life was perfect. Until it wasn't. Fate brought us together. No it will tear us apart.
If you have read the prequel to this book, Forevermore, then you know that something is going to happen and your heart is going to shatter. You could feel it at the end of that prequel and this is the big book that we have been waiting for. You know this is going to be emotional and beautiful in a way that only a true love story can be. I have read one other book in all these years of reading that really affected me this way. Only with this one I didn't count the Kleenex. I do not want to give a thing away about this story. It is a thing of beauty and the writing style of Alex Grayson is just amazing and will leave you breathless. This is a must read. Don't be afraid of it. Just jump in and enjoy the soul cleansing book that is Everlast.

This had a twist from the sweet safe perfection of Forevermore.
The writing was good. The reviews gave me a heads up so it was expected. Perhaps that’s why I wasn’t ugly crying like I did in A Thousand Boy Kisses.
The ending was basically a countdown.

After the ending of book 1 I didn’t expect book 2 to make me bawl my eyes out. I didn’t expect all this emotion and tightness in my chest. Molly and Lincoln were an epic love story. I couldn’t believe what they were going thru and I couldn’t read this with dry eyes. The love these two states was so damn beautiful!! I can’t even deceive this book without spoiling and I don’t want to do that. What I did enjoy even if it was sad was how Lincoln was devoted to Molly and there was never anyone else but her. I loved that they weren’t secondary characters interfering with such a beautiful love. Their children were also amazing and got their parents amazing traits. This story was heartbreaking but beautiful in that when you find your soulmate you love them forevermore.

I loved this book. I would highly recommend the free book first to start the storyline off. This was beautifully written. Highly emotional. I rarely cry, but this book succeeded. Great story.

I lived every minute of this book.
I think this book broke me.... I’m not sure what to say other than.....I really, REALLY, wasn’t prepared for what was to come!!
I should have been prepared when my friend(pfftttt), who recommended it, followed up with “just remember you love me”...... not so much atm Fiona🤨
It’s a beautiful love story, two people brought together by fate, kismet, call it what you want but they were always meant to be. But life is never fair, it’s hard, unforgiving, it’s feckin evil at times. Molly and Lincoln’s story crushed me.
I lived and breathed every minute of this book, it made me smile, laugh and cry oh so friggin hard, at times I couldn’t continue to read through the tears.
I’m left feeling quite emotionally drained.
This was on such a different level from the Hells Night series, I was so not mentally prepared.

This was on such a different level from the Hells Night series, I was so not mentally prepared.
