We were supposed to wears the rings for the rest of our lives. We were supposed to sign the divorce papers and be done with each other. We were supposed to move on and forget about everything that happened.We were supposed to have it all but nothing lasts forever…
Until one phone call brings him back, brings the truth back, and bring back these words: “I’m not asking for a second chance, I … brings the truth back, and bring back these words:
“I’m not asking for a second chance, I just want to finish what we started.”

A heartbreaking and beautifully intense second chance romance. Shelby and Axel are both broken and embark on a journey of letting go of the past, learning to live again after all the hurt. They were always meant to be together, they just need time to heal. I enjoyed this story.
NOTHING LASTS FOREVER (St Skin Book 5) by Jaxson Kidman and London Casey
I just loved Axel and Shelby. Both are broken without each other, and there is so much damage, hurt, and other issues to cross. This is one emotional story.
The St Skin world is such a special place. I am hopeful that London Casey and Jaxson Kidman revisit it for us. Definitely 5 stars.
It seems like I’ve waited forever for Axel’s book, and I just discovered the St. Skin world last year. I loved Axel and Shelby’s story and I think that it might just be my favorite St. Skin book yet.
Axel is broken so he hides his pain behind booze and random one night stands.
Without giving away spoilers I could really relate to the problems that Shelby was going through.
Jaxson and London wrote another phenomenal master piece.
I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a good second chance romance. If you like a book where a ex-husband and ex-wife have a chance to fix their past mistakes, then this book is definitely for you!
I cannot wait for Prick and Tate’s books.
5 stars!!!!!!
This book has all the feels angst, frustration, friendship, family, lust and love. The characters are genuine and relatable. It’s a powerful book of learning to trust ourselves and our hearts and to stop listening to our heads.
Axle has fallen into a never ending cycle of work, drinking and taking home one night stands. He’s living a lie and just trying to protect his heart. Then the last person he expects to get a phone call from is on his phone screen. Stacy is heartbroken and wants to talk to Axle, Shelby contacts him against her better judgement. He is the last person she wants to see, however he drops everything just to be there for her. She may be his ex-wife but he is still in love with her and seeing her after all this time knocks him for six. Shelby is nervous and is hot and flustered being in the same room as Axle. They have so much to discuss but neither of them want to because they know it will lead to arguments. Why is it that when women need a shoulder to cry on or that person to lean on we push them away? Why is it that men decide this is the only time that they’ll listen to us and leave?
Raw, intense and emotional..4.5 stars!
Jaxson Kidman does it again, delivering an emotional second chance, friends to lovers romance. Kidman’s two flawed characters take us on a road that is strewn with heartache. How can two people who still love each other end up in divorce? The situation is inexplicable but the revelation will break your heart.
In the previous St. Skin book, Our Last Road, Axel is an interesting character who shows up at the tattoo shop all brooding and moody. In his story, we get a glimpse of the turmoil his life has been since the break up of his marriage to Shelby. Their paths cross again when Shelby’s sister is mourning the loss of her boyfriend. Shelby and Axel are aware of the chemistry between them but don’t think any relationship together will end up well. But Axel is determined not to let Shelby go this time. His life of one night stands and booze to hide his pain needs to stop. He’s not about to let Shelby get away again.
Once you find out about what happened, the puzzle pieces come together and you just want to root for Axel and Shelby who clearly still have strong feelings and never stopped loving each other. Kidman exposes such raw emotions. It is a well-written romance about loss, second chances, and forgiveness with characters who have an intense connection. I received and voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
WOW, what an amazing story for Alex. I knew from previous books in this series that his story would be intense, but it blew me away. As normal, these authors sucked me into the story at the beginning and didn’t let go of me. The emotions felt were off the charts. Yes, this is part of a series but all the books can be read as stand alone. This is a definite must read.
Axel an Shelby’s story is a well written heartfelt second chance romance story that grabs you from the beginning. Their story pulls at your heartstrings so make sure you have a tissue or two, you won’t be disappointed.
Jaxson and London never fail to break my heart with their combination of gritty, emotional stories of love and loss and this one is particularly heartfelt because it’s a second chance love, a true second chance for a once married couple who are now back in each other’s lives thanks to a loss in her sister’s life.
Shelby once (still) loved Axel, her ex-husband. The tall, tatted up beast of a man who broke her heart. When her sister suffers a loss and she keeps asking for Axel, Shelby knows she has to call him for Stacy, as Axel had been like a brother to her throughout Shelby and Axel’s relationship. She thinks she’s over Axel, thinks her life is fine without him, but once he comes back, she knows she never stopped loving him. Can she let him in again? Let the man who broke her back into her life and give him the chance to do it all over again? Or is the thought of it too much for her to bear?
Even if you’ve never read any of the St. Skin stories, you should most definitely pick this one up. It’s powerful. It’s super emotional. It’s heartbreaking and heartfelt. And it’s a true second chance for two people who didn’t even realize they needed or wanted one. Kudos to Jaxson and London for another beautiful, raw, heartbreaking St. Skin story!
Oh my word! This book had me in tears. Axle and Shelby have been through so much in their lives together and growing up. This book was one of those wow books for me. I adore and devour the St Skin books and this book is one of the reasons why. Well written book that kept my attention from start to end. Grab a bottle of wine and box of kleenex and sit a spell. You will need both. IT is SO GOOD and So worth the wait for their final ending.
