ADD TO GOODREADS

This is a great series and I was very excited to be able to re-experience it through Levi's POV. Although I am kind of finicky when it comes to novellas that are basically re-tellings in new POVs. I want there to be enough new material that I don't get bored but I also want to see my favorite scenes from the new POV and this book did an excellent job of that. It was great to see what was behind some of Levi's actions and although I already knew he was crazy about Allie, being inside his head definitely had me swooning even more. There were still a few times I wanted to slap him. LOL He isn't perfect but that is what makes a great character. Forever was very emotional as we got to see Levi and Allie's wedding vows. A very sweet extra. Loved it! Definitely a must read for any fan and if you haven't started the series then you should!




"Are you done manhandling Levi yet, or are we going to stay here all night?"
"Shut up, Jared," Hailey snapped.
"She can manhandle me all she wants." I reluctantly turned back. I wanted her hands on me all night.

"There is nothing weird about it, most girls would be happy to find out they've become a princess."

Excerpt

We walked off into the darkness, and I held her hand firmly in my own. I’d never been a big hand holder, but it’s like I needed to have hers in mine. I needed to touch her constantly, and I wanted her to know she was always safe with me—even if I was far from safe to most anyone else.

She tugged on my hand, and I gladly followed her down closer to the water.

She took in another deep breath. “There is nothing like the beach at night.”

“You like it at night, too? I was worried you wouldn’t like it without the sun.” I wondered if I was unique in craving the quiet shadows of the dark beach.

“I like the beach during the day, but I love it at night. There is just something about listening to the waves in the darkness and the soft glow of the stars reflecting off the water.”

“Yeah. It’s nice.” I moved behind her, and she leaned into me. We stood that way for several minutes before I turned her to look at me.

She looked like a dream standing there in the glimmering of the moonlight. I studied her face, looking for a sign that she was something more than the beautiful human that had attracted me from the moment we met. Every part of me knew how significant she was to me, but I wanted more proof. “You’re so beautiful. So unbelievably beautiful…” I trailed off as my lips gave in to what they had wanted to do all day.
