One more easy job, life coach and empath Jamie Donovan promises herself. Then she’ll take a well-earned break from her booming business to properly grieve the loss of her mother and pull herself together. When that job turns out to be an ambush intervention for Las Vegas heiress Layla DeGrasso, all bets are off. But Layla isn’t Jamie’s biggest problem on her new job. That honor goes to her … client’s hot as hell bodyguard, Axel. Damn those abs.
Axel Frasier is finally free from the Army and is trying to make a name for his fledgling network security firm. When he lands a promising contract at Lush, Victor DeGrasso’s crown jewel on the Vegas strip, a few quiet weeks of system analysis beckon. But a twist of events force him back into the role of bodyguard, one he swore he’d never play again. It wouldn’t be so bad if he could only keep his head on straight around his clients’ distracting life coach.
Jamie needs to move past the baggage her mother has saddled her with, while keeping Layla on track. Axel can’t afford to be distracted by lust and doesn’t trust the lure of more. Neither is ready for true love, but the nights in Las Vegas are long and lonely…

Four and a half stars.
Forever Nights is the fourth in Eva Moore’s Girls’ Night Out series. It’s the story of life coach Jamie Donovan and security specialist Axel Frasier. They are both hired by Victor DeGrasso, a Las Vegas hotelier and overall big shot, to help and protect his daughter Layla.
Ms Moore does a terrific job with an exciting plot that moves swiftly, and has created sympathetic and well-rounded characters in Forever Nights. As in the other titles in the series, Jamie and Axel feel real, and their strengths and weaknesses all too possible. There is a slight paranormal element to Forever Nights, as Jamie’s described as an empath, whose abilities to sense and absorb the feelings of those around her directly impact her relationships. This is generally handled in a very straightforward way, and again, feels very possible and real-world rather than say, a story that might include animal shifters 🙂
Overall, Forever Nights is a terrific read and a strong close to this series. I look forward to reading more by this talented author.
YES YES YES This is it !!!!!!! I had to read the twice because I was enjoying it so much and I enjoyed it just as much the second time as the first time. Jaime and Axel’s sparks are flying from the moment they meet and I love it. The story was great but I those two are what made the book even better. I think that Forever Nights is the perfect ending of the 4 books in this series.
Jamie Donovan has been seen throughout the first 3 books in the Girls Night Out series as the one all the girls turn to for life and choice advice. Which makes sense, because as a life coach Jamie has risen to celebrity status for her work and after being featured on the Ellen show. However, her newest client is proving to not be so easy to help, and with a father who is determined to get Jamie to sway his daughter to his way of thinking, this might be the most stressful job she’s taken on.
Axel Frasier is trying to get his network security firm off the ground. Taking the job at Lush for Victor DeGrasso was suppose to be the perfect opportunity for him to prove himself and get a great reference. However, when things with Victor’s daughter start to take a turn for the worse, his job gets turned to being the girl’s bodyguard, a role that Axel is terrified to do after his stint in the Army.
With both Jamie and Axel working different aspects to help with Layla, they soon discover the chemistry between the two of them is off the charts. But can Axel open himself to Jamie especially after learning of her empathic abilities? Will Jamie finally lose the little voice that resembles her mother and decide to take the plunge on love?
I’m sad to see this series ending. After 4 books, I wish we were kind of going to be given a novella to give us the wedding we’ve so patiently waited for with Nick and Dani, and maybe give us a glimpse into Theo and Olivia’s life as parents.
