*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
Just when I think this author can’t go any darker she proves me wrong with this explosive new addition to this MC romance series. Jenn is essentially lost with her life spiralling down due to the events of the past when the MC finds out. They step in to save her since she is family and what she finds will change her life forever. There is some rough stuff to get through but we get a HEA in the end as well as two epilogues that will tug at your heart strings. Perfect for fans of darker MC romance. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
Let’s just say we are really loving this series and we were so looking forward to this current tale and the author did not disappoint.
We have been following Jenn and James for sometime as they have been playing this dance of cat and mouse going on for sometime and we finally find out in this current story what’s been keeping them apart.
This story took us on one heck of a roller-coaster and so many things make perfect sense now when it comes to Jenn’s actions and deeds and her fears of making things permanent between her and James especially when you
new these two were meant to be together.
We loved Jenn from the first meeting her in the previous stories as she was a funny and had this vibrant personality and she was one tough cookie .This time around we saw a whole other side of Jenn .We saw her emotional and broken and lost.All those emotions have finally risen to the surface this time around and we definitely felt her pain and our heart broke for all the suffering that she has endure for years now.
I think that no matter what is going on in one’s life when you have met your soul mate you just know and that is what it was like for James and Jenn it just took a bit of a rocky road for them to become one and strive for their happily ever after.
We really enjoyed this story and although the story was an emotional one it was a fun one to.With Jenn and Katrina aka The Black Widow hooking up together in this current tale of them taking care of business and cleaning house so to speak.They gave us tons laughs as well.We really loved how all Jenn’s friends and family rallied around her and gave her the tough love that she needed to find herself again.
Jenn and James were perfect for one another.Their chemistry off the charts.Totally hot together and perfectly matched in and out of bed.This story was awesome and one of my favorites in the series as it was filled with tons of suspense,action,healing,and tons of secrets coming to life some good others bad.
A gripping read from beginning to end as we were engrossed in the story for the very first pages and we loved it !
This one pulls on the heart strings. Jenn is broken and doesn’t know how to find her way back. James has loved Jenn for a long time but has just about given up. Something happens to bring them back together and they fight for each other. Jenn is back!
4 stars
Living for Forever is my first read in the Battle Born Brothers series and I did not know what I was in for in this runaway train of dark emotion. While not required, I recommend readers read the series in order. I believe a genuine connection with the characters would’ve help me to enjoy the story more.
Jenn has suffered more than most in her young life and she’s struggling to come back from the trauma. After finding out that practically everything she’s ever known is a lie, the struggle intensifies. But there is one man that will fight the devil himself to bring his woman back. James has waited and bided his time to take revenge on those that harmed his woman and now he’s ready. Ready to destroy for her, ready to kill for her, all in the hopes that he can also show her how to live beyond the pain.
This book was much darker than my usual MC reads and it definitely wasn’t my favorite story; it was just too heavy but the love between these two characters was rare. The battle they live through was incredible, making their comeback all the more worthwhile. I said it once already but this book was a runaway train from start to finish. Strap yourself in and keep the tissues handy!

“You and I, we got this wild, crazy kind of love. In the end, it’ll be just you and I.”
Jenn has a tragic past that has destroyed her family. And when a ghost from her past comes back, the trauma is so intense, that the depression that plagues her after all that she has lived, makes her sink into a life of drugs and alcohol, where her soul seems to have been consumed by the darkness.
James is no saint. Although his road name says otherwise. Former member of the Navy, part of his soul has been transformed and he has a thirst for blood that until then was unknown. And discovering how the past has almost ripped the love of his life from the land of the living makes the monster wake up.
Do not expect a traditional romance and full of tenderness, because that is not what you will find. Saint and Jenn are two extremely broken and obscure people. And the most absurd thing is you, reader, get caught up cheering for that everything works out for them, even knowing that the right is so wrong, and the package includes revenge, torture, and murder.
The author’s writing is fluid and blunt, with an original dynamic where each chapter shows the thoughts and feelings not only of the main couple but of the main characters involved, a feature that enriches the narrative.
With tension from start to end, breathtaking revelations and two epilogues that make you cry. Living for forever shows that love is not always tender and smooth. But that it too can be strong, true and forever, even if born in a hostile environment and between souls broken and obscured by loss and pain.

This is the story of Jenn and James, and it was an incredible rollercoaster of emotions! I felt for Jenn and all that she had been through and what was happening now. James had me hooked on him and wishing for things to go just how he wanted! This is a story that pulls you in with emotion and doesn’t let you go. I loved it!
LOVE this book! I wasn’t Jen’s biggest fan in the first two books, so I was wondering if I would love this book as much. This may be my favorite one! The passion between James and Jenn is electrifying, and leaves you wanting more with each page. We finally get to see what makes Jenn tick and it makes your heart ache for her. And she turns out to be a complete and total bad ass. By far an amazing book and an absolute must read.
I love good outlaw MC books and Scarlett doesn’t disappoint with this book. This book is gritty, raw, emotional with a little love and violence mixed in.
Each book in this series just keeps getting better, I can’t wait to see what she writes next.
Wow! This book just blew me away and I was so happy that Jenn and James got their story. After Jenn pushes everyone away she fights her own darkness as she tries to become a shell of the woman she once was. As she fights to find her way, James is finding his and soon they will intersect in the most explosive way. Highly recommended book, series and author!!!
Well Scarlett Black has given us another wild ride. So much happens in this story, Black packs this story full of secondary stories as well as the main story of Jenn and James aka Saint. As the main characters they control the story but so much happens with the secondary characters as well. Author gives us some answers but also left me asking some questions of what happens next…
This story is not for the faint at heart, this story is raw, dark, and has triggers. Black does not sugar coat or skip over the ugly, she gives us all those parts but she does this in a beautiful way.
This story will grab you from the beginning and hold you tight til the end. Living for Forever was a rollercoaster of emotions whether I was jumping out of my seat or wanting to roll in a ball to cry . This author knows how to write angst but she also gives us humor..
Overall another hit for Black.. I personally cant wait for the next story in this series.
Happy Reading!!!
This is the third book in this phenomenal series, and carries straight on from where #2 ended. Jenn has survived a horrific event, which she hides from all those around her, but she is merrily existing and not really living. James / Saint had loved Jenn from the moment he first set his eyes on her, and he stands by her when her past comes to light. No spoilers; this is an absolute must read for all MC lovers, you will not be disappointed. This is a beautifully written story which is haunting, emotional, heartbreaking, raw, gritty, gutting, and powerful read. I was totally captivated throughout, and I cannot wait to read more from this talented author.
What a page turner – from beginning to end – and what a epilogue ending! Now that is love. Jenn’s pain is real and Scarlett makes the reader feel every bit of it. James is her savior, her rock – he,pulls her back to the living. The rest of the MC are a joy to revisit! Love Battle Born!!
The third book in the series with edge and some darkness. This one will pull you in and take you on a wild ride, having you in edge. You get to see how Jenn evolves and finds her way back. Then add James and you’ve have two people destined for one another. That last epilogue with James and Jenn will blow your mind but it definitely ties up their story in a different way that relates to what was said earlier in the story. Definitely recommend.
Revenge is sweet. Jenn had a piece of herself Stolen. She had to walk through some darkness get shine into the light. Saint was with her through it all. My heart broke for what she went threw. She came back a figher. I love this MC family. On to the next book.
Third one in this series and holy I was on the edge of my seat for this one. Jenn and James (Saint). These two work together at the bar. James knows that there is something going on with Jenn. They all know something is going on with her. But no one can seem to figure it out. She takes off and gets help but not before almost destroying her life. Once she comes back James is bent on making things right with her. But will he be able too? Will she be strong enough to face her demons and overcome her past? What is going to happen between these two? These storyline was amazing. So well written from beginning to end. I absolutely loved Jenn’s story especially how strong she is to be able to seek revenge against her past. Scarlett did an amazing job writing this character this whole book in general. My second favorite couple. There is just something about these two how strong they are for each other no matter what is in front of them. Another great additional to this series.
All I can say is this was an EXCELLENT book..And they only get better..if that’s even possible…LOVED IT!!!
OMG! I knew Jenn’s story was gonna hurt my heart, but it destroyed me. Jenn has been through so much crap that should have destroyed her, and almost did. I was so glad to see her finally get to be happy, after all she went through.
Jenn and James’s story is AMAZING! When Jenn’s demons get a foothold in her mind she finds it difficult to see the truth. James doesn’t realize the demons that Jenn is hiding and backs off. When James discovers everything that Jenn has been dealing with by herself he vows that she will no longer fight by herself. Jenn and James fight to defeat her demons and fall more in love than they were at the beginning of the story.
The Battle Born Series is such an amazing series and I can’t wait to see where Scarlett Black goes from here.
I just knew that Jenn and James’ story was going to be powerful, have such a range of emotions and hurt. And boy did this story hurt!! Scarlett did an amazing job writing a gripping story of heartache, angst, devastation, Hope, forgiveness, friendship and ultimately love. Sometimes the best love stories are when a couple has to go through some really bad events, find out who they are and stand on their own 2 feet before they can be together.
I love this MC world and can’t wait for more!!
Well Scarlett Black has given us another amazing story! This one is a little bit on the darker side and is about Jen & James. This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster but will make your heart happy at the end.
