Are we jumping into this too soon?
I wish I could tell Hayden some of what I’m feeling, but I can’t stand the thought of him knowing what Jonas did to me. It’s so humiliating, and I don’t want Hayden to start looking at me differently.
But he’s jumping to the wrong conclusions. And maybe I’m letting him, because maybe it’d be easier to be just friends with a guy who’s really not my type.

I don’t want to lose Hayden.
But I don’t know how to keep him either.

Lost Girl vs Wounded Boy is another five star read in the Forever Love series. I enjoyed Stacey and Hayden’s friends-to-lovers story and I’m anxious to see what happens with Willow. I really like her and Manu together, and I can’t wait for their story!
This is another great story in the Forever Love series.
We followed the relationship of Stacey and Hayden, who crossed the line from friendship to romance and now don’t know how to act. While Hayden wants to show everyone that he’s dating Stacey and make her happy, she’s afraid to expose herself, especially at school, after everything that happened to Jonas. Throughout this book we follow how they strive to make this new relationship work, after all, both are very important in each other’s lives.
We also followed Willow and Heath’s relationship. While Willow seems completely in love with Heath, who is older than she, she ends up distancing herself a little from her best friend April, who is Heath’s sister and doesn’t approve of their relationship. She also starts to invent several lies to be able to continue in this relantionship. I confess that throughout the book I was waiting for Willow to realize that her relationship with Heath isn’t healthy, that he doesn’t treat her the way she deserves, but I think we’ll see more about that in the next book in this series, correct?
As always, this story was great and the characters were wonderful. I’m already anxious for the next book in this series. I highly recommend the reading.
I received a free copy from the author and voluntarily reviewed it.
Lost Girl vs Wounded Boy is the fifth book in the Forever Love Series. I really love this series, it’s been awesome following these characters around and seeing them change and develop, make mistakes and find love. In this book the focus is on Stacey and Hayden, who have started dating, but things don’t go as smoothly. And we also get Willow’s point of view, while she has been a side character from the start, this is the first time we get her point of view.
This was another great read. I didn’t want to stop reading and had that urge to keep reading. I had to know what would happen next. Would Hayden and Stacey manage to make their romance work and how? Would Willow realize the lies she’s telling will catch up with her one day and that the boy she loves has a dark side? Will she salvage her friendship with April?
I really enjoyed this book and following the characters along. This series is so addictive and I think this is one of my favorite contemporary romance series. It’s just so awesome and the character are so realistic and I enjoy following their stories.
A lot of the focus in this book is on Stacey and Hayden and their beginning romance, which seems to end before it has even started. Stacey ho likes Hayden, but does she like him as her boyfriend? He is nothing like the guys she usually goes for and with what she has been through she wants to keep their relationship a secret. Hayden is a boy who doesn’t love the typical manly stuff and sometimes feels like he’s not good enough. And that gets even worse when his new girlfriend seems to have doubts. Really their relationship goes from bad to worse and I kept wondering how they would fix this and what would bring them closer again. I won’t spoil it, but I have to say I liked how the author handled it and it was realistic.
We haven’t seen as much of Willow in the series yet, at first she didn’t talk and now she’s talking again and going to ballet and even admitted to Stacey about a hot guy. In this book we find out all the details and while I thought things were going well with her form what we saw in the previous books, now that we get the whole picture it’s obvious that’s not quite the case. She’s lying to a lot of people, neglecting her best friend and the guy she loves obviously doesn’t treat her how she deserves. But she doesn’t realize any of that, she thinks she’s doing better and she has emerged form that place she landed in after their parents deaths.
While Stacey and Hayden’s struggle was tough to witness and I really wanted them to find a way to be together. Willow’s part probably was the hardest part of this book. I did think her actions feel realistic and I am sure she will learn from her mistakes, but she isn’t there yet and it’s so sad to have her believe she’s doing the right thing while from an outsider’s perspective it’s clear she isn’t. She has to go through this herself and make those mistakes, but I just wanted to reach out and help, but she doesn’t listen to those who do. And I just know she’s going to get hurt and watching that slowly happen is sad and painful. But there is also hope. I am pretty sure we got to see a glimpse of her love interest in this book and I really like the idea of these two together. I want to see how they will get together and grow closer.
This book is full with great scenes, especially some toward the end. The whole camping trip had some great parts and I love how close this family is. Even with the individual struggles the character go through the family bond between them is strong. I also enjoy seeing the previous main characters in this book and the role they still play. We see Harper as the big sister in this book to Willow. We see how Harper and Thane are together. And Cam and Bianca, they are just so sweet!
I like how throughout this series their parents death has been one of the themes and seeing how everyone deals with it. We see how it impacts different characters differently and also the mistakes they make and the struggles they go through. But even with the sadness and struggles there is so much hope and positivity as well. The way the all stick together and form a new family is so beautiful to see. And how they slowly all find true love and happiness after all they’ve been through. And I can’t wait to read the next few books and see how those wrap up this amazing series.
To summarize: this was another awesome book in this series. I had a hard time putting this book down as I just wanted to keep reading and find out what would happen next. This book focuses on Hayden and Stacey who started dating, but things don’t go smoothly and they have to figure out if they should be together and how. We also get Willow’s point of view and it’s been great to see how she’s doing, but also sad as she struggling through things and not even realizing the mistakes she’s making. I love how realistic these books feel. I really enjoyed reading it and seeing things progress. Willow’s part of the story can be hard to read at times as her boyfriend isn’t treating her right and she thinks he loves and it’s okay, but there’s also hope and I think we see her love interest as well and I think they will be great together. There are some great scenes in this book, especially toward the end. It also was great to see more of the previous main characters and how they’re doing. It’s great to see how they’re all becoming a new family together. I can’t wait for the next book as I love this series!
Stacey and Hayden are finally dating, but their relationship now is awkward and they don’t know how to be friends again. Willow is hiding a secret relationship that is forcing her to constantly lie to everyone. When all of them and some friend she go a camping trip for the weekend Stacey, Hayden and Willow will be force to face some true about themselves and will realise what’s worth fighting for: family, friends and love.
I’ll start by saying I can’t wait for the next book because I need to see Willow and what she does. This was the first book in this series where I nearly turned on a character. The author has emotionally drained me. This is mainly Stacey’s story and I figured she’d come to her senses, but little Willow, damn she’s playing a dangerous game. All the ‘feels’ are in this book so be warned. I hoped you’ve read the other books before this one to know the characters and their journey through grief. Well done on another great book Ms Ford, I highly recommend this series.
Lost Girl vs Wounded boy (Forever Love #5) will have you immerse yourself heart and soul. I absolutely love all the books in this series.
Told in multi-pov giving you a glimpse of how the characters think. Character’s blossom more with each novel.
I absolutely adore Hayden even more than I already have. I relished getting to know April (Willows best friend) better. Willow is breaking my heart and her book which is next may just be the hardest to read without turning on waterworks.
I loved getting a glimpse of all the supporting character’s. I’m hoping Beck gets his own book as he deserves happiness too after all he has been through and what he has done for these orphans. And I would like to see Oscar get his own book in the future as he grows older.
Its absolutely heartwrenching reading about these fabulous characters life.
An opulence of dramatic moments, entertaining ones, and unexpected ones swirling through the pages.
This is a series that will break your heart into pieces and works its magic to put the pieces back together and will stay with you long after reading.
One of my all time favourite series I ever read and I read a lot. And the author in my opinion is one of the best ya romance writers.
The writing style is captivating and compelling and signify’s the authors talent. The storyline and plot is concrete and smooth.
Oh My!!!! The ending is ….shockingly explosive. I’m about to blow a gasket.
Hayden has planned what he thinks will be a perfect date with Stacie. Spring is in the air, the flowers are blooming, and he wants their first official date to be unforgettable. Welp, she probably won’t forget it. Unfortunately, their date isn’t perfect, and Stacie begins to question whether she wants a romantic relationship with Hayden, but he’s her best friend and she doesn’t want to lose his friendship. While Stacie and Hayden struggle to define their relationship, Willow is lying to her family. Willow is fifteen years old and tells her family she is at ballet lessons, when she is actually in a relationship with her best friend’s brother.
Beautifully written, and compelling characters struggling with their feelings, and not always able to see what is right in front of them. Fascinating, and emotional read with some surprising twists. Fantastic, this book made me cry, sometimes smile, and kept me engrossed from the first page to the last. I love the Forever Love series, and loved this book!
I am voluntarily leaving an honest and non-incentivized review of this ARC.
