Forever Trilogy by Sandi Lynn

 Forever Black, #1

“I could never understand my purpose in this world. I have had nothing but pain and loss my whole life. But now I know why god saved me the first time. It was so I could find you. Then he saved me the second time so I could love you forever”

Me while reading this beautiful book.

This was beautifully written! 

Even though I've seen many similar stories like this one, it still amazed me how Love truly conquers all. 'Beautiful' is not enough to express how AMAZING this story is.

I watched in awe on how Connor Black and Ellery Lane took every step of the way to always be together forever. I loved this book so much that I spend a lot of time sniffing, wiping tears, gushing, swooning, and basically floating for Connor's ability to melt every single women with a pulse. 

“Infinity is forever, and that is what you are to me, you are my forever Mr. Black.” 

Their constant words for each other is what keeps me from grabbing a tissue because I always end up crying for this stubborn couple who love each other so much. It's a heart-warming story. 

“Because at some point you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart, but not in your life, and this is my way of keeping you in my heart.”

Ellery's Wrist Tattoo

Forever You, #2 

“I was simply a man with no meaning until I met you, and I’m proud of whom I’ve become because of you. We’ve been through a lot together, and we will continue to go through a lot, but we’ll conquer
whatever life throws our way, together. I want to thank you for being my best friend, and my lover.”  

I got down on one knee and pulled the small velvet box from my pocket. I looked up at Ellery as the tears wouldn’t stop flowing down her face. 

“I want to be more than just your lover; I want to be your happily ever after, your best friend, your husband, and I want you for my wife. Will you marry me, Ellery Lane?”

Connor Black's POV from the first book with other detailed scenes that was not introduced from the first. It's one of the greatest man's POV I've read from other books. I loved feeling Connor Black's side of the story and how he views himself through out the book. I fell in love more and more to Connor! He's amazing. I can't get enough of him :)

Forever Us, #3

"Forever us baby, It'll always be forever us…"

The conclusion we've been all waiting for! The Black family sure knows how to make my heart swell!

Marriage add with a newborn is very difficult to handle and Connor and Ellery showed us how to keep their family and friends be safe and loved. There are new challenges that they need to pass and together they will fight for those who will always makes them apart. I love how amazing parents they are. It truly melts my heart. I wish someday I could have a husband like Connor Black, who will always be there to keep you safe. I'm so sad to read this ending because I will miss them. All those struggles and the sufferings they need to endure is all worth the fight! They've been through hell and worse but still they keep each other stronger. 

It feels surreal to realize there will no more Connor Black who always made me cry since the first book. His love and devotion for his wife and kids are so amazing! Such a great man he is!

Fighting Redemption by Kate McCarthy

“I’ll love you longer than the stars that live in the sky.”

10 FIGHTING STARS!!! What an incredible and heart-piercing story! I LOVED IT!

This is a story about war and the cost of sacrifice. Where bonds are formed, and friendships found. Where those who are strong, fall hard. Where love is let go, heartache is born, and heroes are made. Where one man learns that the hardest fight of all, is the fight to save himself.

My casting for this book.

I was really reading this in a slow manner and took me a week to finished this because I want to savor every words in it. Such a beautiful written story about Australian soldiers - fighting against all odds and to be back home safe to your loved ones. THIS IS THE BEST NEXT BOOK after "Education of Caroline" - which involves about life inside the war. I was so absorbed by the book that I googled Australia's army troops! And I CRIED AGAIN! Oh this men are so brave and I'm so proud of them.




I ugly cried a lot of times while reading this and somehow, I don't want it to end! I was so scared of what's going to happen next! My heart was literally beating wildly everytime the soldiers are being deployed in the middle of war. I was like, "Don't you dare kill this soldier!" and the worse is "Don't die in there! You have to get home to Fin!!". Yeah, I was losing it. 


This book serves as a reminder to be grateful everyday that your in a safe place and not in those hell of wars. To always show your family and friends that you love them everyday. To see that there are brave men out there protecting us in every possible way. 

A story of military families on how they cope, endure, pray, and see their soldiers everytime they are being deployed, and the most beautiful feeling you get when this heroes come back in the arms of their home. 

"There are no goodbyes in life, only see you later."

"There were kids and wives and, indeed, husbands out with banners and balloons.." 

"Certainly there were a few of our soldiers getting mobbed as they got off the plane."

SO MANY FEELINGS!

They are the real heroes of our world that gives us peace and they save lives and sometimes die in every second you are breathing. 

Highly recommended! If you love wars, first loves and alpha hot army soldiers- then this is the book for you!

Wonder by R.J. Palacio

“Everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their life because we all overcometh the world." —Auggie

Wonder is a book where you cry in the corner and question yourself why the world is so cruel and why life has to be so unfair. I never cried so hard - literally sobbing in a book, that I actually put down it in a minute to grab my emotions because I can't read when my tears just keep on flowing - I thought my tear ducts has been severely damaged by this book. 

If I could give 10 more stars for how amazing this book is. Hands down!

I wanted to kick myself for not knowing about this book for so long that I just read it today. I wanna thank my sister-friend for sharing this to me because my life has been not the same after reading this. I know that I have tons of favorite books, but I can say this is my second to the list. I love the writing style, how I got to connect with every characters in the book, how this is the first time I've read a 10 year old boy's point of view, and how every chapter in the book is like a "life changing" feeling for me. It was really written beautifully. 

“She’s very pretty,” Mom said.
“Yeah, I know,” I answered. “We’re kind of like Beauty and the Beast.” 

 (This really made me cry harder. I dunno why but I'm just hurt of what he said in this part.)

*******************
The best part of why I love this book so much is because I didn't read the plot and just go in my gut that maybe this will be good, but I was so wrong. It's not just good or fine because once I started it, I CANT PUT IT DOWN. That's how amazing this story is. Beyond amazing!

A wonderful boy named "Auggie Pullman" - who had change so many lives because of his compassion, loyalty, unconditional love and kindness. His pure heart and witty mouth. His sense of humor and his ability to be extraordinary, when all he wants is to be ordinary. He is not just extraordinary, but I think he's blessed. Blessed with bravery and courage. I'm in awe for him. 

“That’s why your deeds are like your monuments. Built with memories instead of with stone.”

A book about Kindness. Friendship. Courage. Character. 

*******************
I also can't help but relate August Pullman to Bailey Sheen from Amy Harmon's "Making Faces". They are so alike in many many ways. I wish ya'll could read that book because it's truly inspiring too. "Making Faces", is actually my number one in my favorites of all time so you know how special this book is because this is my second favorite. ;-)


Anyway, I can't help but cry again while doing this review. I know I'm very emotional but this book just really punched me in the gut so many times. It's pure perfection.

Making Faces by Amy Harmon

“God has given you one face and you make yourself another.” - Hamlet”

You know when you finished a book that's so beautiful you just smile with tears running down your cheeks and you feel like someone put out the heavy weight in your heart and leaves you breathless? I felt that after I turn the last page of this book. 

The words that are delivered in this book is breath taking and very deep. Very well written and I love how each characters have a meaningful purpose in this book. Each phrases, poems, biblical quotations are very powerful that it deeply crushed my heart to pieces. I was crying every chapter because it's just utterly beautiful. I learned so many things about life from this book and one of them is that being beautiful is not just from the outside but it's the way you do and show good things to people are what makes you special and beautiful. 

And to Bailey Sheen. He's the hero in this book. He is the one that inspires me the most. And not because he's the super hero with supernatural powers but it's about living the most of it and encourage people to do what their heart says. His purpose for being what he is, is what makes him the hero. To think he's in that state of illness, he's the one who pushes his friends to strive harder. He never show weakness because even in the irony of his condition, he sees the beauty of the person's heart and not by how he looks and his appearance. I LOVED BAILEY SHEEN SO MUCH. He taught me greater things that makes me appreciate life more and more:
To live, Have courage, Be a good friend, and Always be grateful..

I also realize when I was flipping through the pages, that every chapter's title is about Bailey's list of things to do before he died. It's so amazing! Take a look of it yourself in the table of contents after you finished reading it. 

For Fern Taylor, she is amazing in every way. I somehow find Fern in me because we're the same about romance books, always hoping that someday we will meet our favorite fictional character in real life.

“I think that's why Fern has always liked to read so much. Books allow you to be whoever you want to be, to escape yourself for a while. You know how Fern loves to read those romance novels?”

Even though at times she questions herself about how people treated her like she's fragile and ugly, she never treated others the same way they do to her. She's compassionate and caring for Bailey. She showed Ambrose what love is all about. 

“You act like beauty is the only thing that makes us worthy of love, I've loved you since you quoted Hamlet like you understood him, since you said you loved Ferris wheels more than roller coasters because life shouldn't be lived at full speed, but in anticipation and appreciation…"

And for every character in this story, I love them all! The connection I felt is very real and the author did not leave them hanging. The pacing of the story is very good and I like how it includes flashbacks from the character's POV. 

If I would be a movie producer, I will definitely not pass this up! It's very inspirational! 


THIS IS THE GREATEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ THIS YEAR!
INFINITE BEAUTIFUL STARS!

Bold Tricks (The Artists Trilogy #3) by Karina Halle

“I love you,” he said, his voice gruff. “And I’ll have you. Keep you. Own you. You belong to me, only to me, from now on.”
“Until the waves crash at our feet,” I said softly..
“Beyond that," He whispered. “Beyond the ocean and the world and the stars. You’re mine beyond that, baby, and I’m yours.”

That epilogue is like the best HEA I've ever read! I cried because it's so beautiful, I don't want it to end.This by far, the one of my top 10 favorite book series of all time and the characters really owned my heart, mind & soul! I really loved them and I'm miserable because I'm going to miss them so much! 

A lot of bad things happened in this final book of The Artists trilogy but still good things exists when you least expected it. There's more action and gun fighting scenes (I was always hysterical whenever someone is shooting to Ellie & Camden), more twisted mind games from Javier (still a sick bastard) and lots of secrets are finally revealed.

It is one epic final book that you won't gonna miss! I'm still buzzing with energy from all the adrenaline rush and surprises!! 

I thought for one second Karina Halle would disappoint us readers, but I thought wrong. Team fcukin Camden all the way! It's like an angel with its new wings! I loved it! 
This series is awesome!! I'm sure gonna put this in my re-read list and will never get tired of it.

I can't put more stars in the rating scale so I'll just gonna say it here: 
INFINITE fcuking ARTIST STARS!!!!!

Goodreads review

Convicted (Consequences #3) by Aleatha Romig

10 STARS! Wow! THE MIND FUCKERY TWISTS AND GAMES ARE FINALLY COMING TO AN END!

"I can't promise you the happy ever after, not because you don't deserve one- but because I know myself, I'll probably screw it up; however, I can promise I'll spend the rest of my life trying."

Oh! I can't form the words to describe how amazing this series is. My love and hate relationship with this series is still imminent and it will never fade away! I will always remember this haunting series for the rest of my life. One of the greatest writing of all time. Hands down! 


My heart is still beating so fast for the turns and events that happened in here, my emotions are still wired up because I thought for a second that maybe this will never be the ending I want it to be, but of course I knew the author will never do that because she also believes in happy ever afters. Thank God it has the superb ending I always want! I cried for that last chapter and epilogue for so long. It really is that emotional!



**********************
This mind blowing series will always take my breath away! And for Tony Rawlings, you will always be a handsome bastard but a bastard with a big heart! I was never wrong about you! I knew there's always something soft and special and a devoted man behind those arrogant, smug, hard to kill appearance of yours! Those piercing death eyes of yours are just a mask you hide. 

I really cried for Tony Rawlings in this book. It still surprises me how caring and loving a husband and father he is. I knew he will change once he met Claire. Her love change him. 

"There were still lessons to learn and consequences for the truth!" - This quote will forever haunt me!

The Edge of Always by J.A Redmerski

"Our story is over, yes, but our journey isn't, because we'll always live on the edge until the day we die."

OH. MY. GOD! ANDREW PARRISH = Perfect. Man. *sigh*

Andrew & Camryn takes us once again to another journey of their lives into a whole new level! After experiencing loss and a “moment of weakness”, Andrew will take another risk to get Camryn back to where they belong: On the road. (of course the Chevelle is taking another trip of a lifetime with them!)

"Because this is our life. We met on the road; we grew to know and to love each other on the road. It's where we were meant to be for however long, and it's what we're going to do until it becomes clear that we were meant to do something else."

And in this second book, it’s more fun, drama, full of sexy perverted antics from Andrew, swoonfest moments and lots of surprises that they encountered while on the road. They will make another greatest memories; will experience the living in the now, and to prove that spontaneity is more rewarding than a meticulously planned life.

“There’s nothing either of us can do to avoid it or to hold it off. All we can control is how we live our lives before it comes for us. So let’s promise each other things that we can hold true to no matter what.”

It’s not really about more of Andrew’s POV, but Redmerski made it by both for them. What I really love about this series is that once you started it, YOU. CAN’T. PUT. IT. DOWN. I was deprived from sleep but it’s totally worth the read! If only I could put 10 more stars, that’s how beautiful this series is. 

I cried for like forever, especially where they made their vows in their wedding day! I can’t put it right here cause it’ll spoil many readers, so let’s just say that I sort of bawled like a baby because their vows are really deep and it makes me wanna worship them! Even their vows are spontaneous and that is really amazing! God, it’s so beautiful and makes my heart melt a thousand times!
Here’s a little peek of what they promised to one another:

“… I promise that if you ever forget me, I’ll read to you like Noah read to Allie..”
“… I promise to love you forever in this life and wherever we go in the afterlife, because I know I can’t go on in any life unless you’re in it too.”

I wish there’s an Andrew Parrish in real life! I’ll combed the universe to find him. I truly adore this fictional character! If only I can grab him inside my kindle! Lol


*********************
This series taught me a lot of things: How to live life the fullest, never regret the decision you made and never to take a second of it for granted because any second could be your last and to be free-spirited and driven and in love with the World. I admire this book! The things that Andrew & Camryn went through together, I can’t help but be awed by them!


J.A Redmerski really did a stunning series and I’m still tearing up to pieces because I’m going to miss Andrew & Camryn so much. Hands down to this amazing author! Cant wait for your next books to come!

And lastly, I once again (just like I did in the first book) dedicate this song for this series because it’s the one that’s been playing through my mind while reading Andrew & Camryn’s journey:

"Glowing" by The Script

You knocked me sideways
When you said that you were leaving.
You knocked me over
When you cried and told the truth.
And you left me speechless
The secrets you've been keeping
You're running now, 'cause someone's chasing you

And you bought a ticket
But you don't know where you're going
And you won't tell me
For fear I'll follow suit
And you're tryin' to save me
From your past of bad decisions
But my decision's always gonna be
To follow you (to follow you)

Never gonna stop 'til the clock stops tickin'
Never gonna quit 'til my legs stop kickin'
I will follow you and we'll both go missin'
No I'm never givin' up 'til my heart stops beatin'
Never lettin' go 'til my lungs stop breathing
I will follow you and we'll both go missin'

No, I and we don't even know where we're going
But I'm sitting with you and I'm glowing.
