Always Us is a holiday short story involving Lucas and Sam (The couple in book 1 Always You). I absolutely loved this little story. It’s always great reconnecting with a favorite couple years down the road to see how they weather things in the future.
Lucas and Sam, like I said are the Hero and heroine from Book 1 of Stephanie Rose’s Second Chance Series. I fell in love with these two in that book and my heart grew even more for them after reading this story. What I loved about this story was that Stephanie wrote about this couple 7 years after the end of their story. It was like an extended epilogue revolved around the Christmas Holiday.
In this book Lucas and Sam’s daughter is now a 14 year old teenager and they have a 3 year old son, who is attached to mommy’s hip. What was great about this was that Stephanie showed real things that happen in a real life married couples life. What happens when you 14 year old daughter gets asked out on a date and your 3 year old son won’t leave mommy alone long enough for some quality parent time?? Find out how Lucas and Sam handle things, read this really sweet holiday story.
So if you’re looking for a holiday short story to pass a couple hours with, pick up Always Us and enjoy getting to know Lucas and Sam. If you have already read Always You, then I would suggest you pick this up and reconnect with Lucas and Sam 🙂
Always Us by Stephanie Rose is a delightful peek into the married life of Lucas & Samantha 7 years after their HEA. Lucas and Sam are still madly in love, and their chemistry is also still off the charts, if they could only find some alone time! Family life can be hectic with two working parents, a teen-aged daughter Belle, who wants to date, and Joey, an adorable 3 year old cockblocker. I loved catching up with Lucas, Sam, and Belle along with meeting adorable little Joey. They are a loving family that have their disagreements and obstacles but are learning the art of give and take. This is a beautiful and heartwarming story of love, passion, compromise, and trust. I don’t usually read many novellas but this one had me captivated from beginning to end! Bravo Ms. Rose, Bravo!
Gosh, I missed the Hunters so much! This novella is pure joy!
Just a perfect read for those of us who like to catch up on characters from previous books. This is a short novella about Lucas, Samantha, Bella, and Joey. Their little family just warms my heart. Love to read about characters in an extended happily ever after. Dual point of view.
After reading Always Us, I am going to read the rest of the Second Chances series. Lucas and Sam are absolute goals when it comes to the future marriage I hope to have. They are sexy and sweet and completely adorable.
Love love love!!
OMG!!! This is the sweetest novella ever!! I loved checking in with Sam and Lucas. These two are so adorably perfect I can’t wipe the cheesy smile off my face.
This was just fabulous. I came across this by accident and I’m so damn glad I did. I’ve read Always You a while ago and enjoyed it. This was just icing on the cake. I fell in love with Lucas all over again. Even Samantha! They were such a beautiful family and what they went through is something anyone can relate to. I especially loved Lucas and his protective ways towards his two girls. Swoon alert! Also Lucas and Samantha’s chemistry was beautiful and insanely hot.
Even thought it was a short story it packed a punch. Simply stunning.

Oh my Lucas Hunter . I loved catching up with one of my favorite couples. You’ll see them in this novella years later dealing with the reality of life and kids . You must read Always You first.
Alpha daddy Lucas is a sight to behold…damn, I love that man!
Always Us gives a glimpse into the married and family life of Samantha and Lucas Hunter. If you haven’t read Always You yet, where we first meet this awesome couple, I highly recommend you grab it now!
I so loved getting to revisit Sam and Lucas, seeing little Joey and teenage Bella! But Christmastime in the Hunter household isn’t all mistletoe and holly. With 2 children, full-time jobs, and the stress of the holidays, Sam and Lucas haven’t be able to spend any real quality time together and it’s starting to to wear on both of them. But the love they share is too strong for these little hiccups to have any real lasting effect on them.
This was the perfect little novella! I love seeing how my favorite couples are doing in the future, and it’s so awesome when they are still so much in love, and their love just seems to get stronger every day!
