The continuation of the story of Holly and Jake is absolutely a must read! The heartbreaks, loss, struggles, friendships, trusts, betrayals, ultimatums, and absolute love shown make this a truly captivating read that pull you in and keep you captivated. One downfall, the proofreader needs to be replaced as many errors and repeated sentences take away from this otherwise beautiful read created by a truly talent author that writes unbelievably wonderfully otherwise. Regardless of the errors, the read is definitely a “not to be missed’ continuation that will not disappoint!
I read the first book in this trilogy, IMPERFECT LOVE, back in May of 2016 which is quite a while ago you would think I’d forget about most of it considering the amount of books I read each year but that isn’t the case at all. I remembered everything! That right there should tell you something, not only about the story but about the writing as well. When I had the opportunity to review this audiobook I jumped on it, I was not only curious as to how the story was going to continue but also how it would play out in audio, would it add an extra dimension to it and pull me into the story line more than just reading it would have.
The story was fabulous, I cannot stress enough that the first book must be read before you dive into this one otherwise you will loose a lot of the emotion and heart of the story. I enjoyed the narration of the book as well and thought both of the narrators did a wonderful job with their parts.
Holly is a single mother raising her cute-as-a-button 5 year old daughter Jamie Bernice, with the help of her own mother she is heading to Boston for an internship at a hospital close enough but she’s hoping far enough away from Jake, the father of her daughters and the man that broke her heart.
Jake has moved on with his life since Holly left Boston and he is getting married! I didn’t like this part I have to be honest here I didn’t begrudge him happiness since he really didn’t know a LOT of what was happening in Holly’s life but I didn’t like that he was getting married and he starts an affair with Holly when he finally sees her. UGGHH I hated the cheating part of it, I really wish she held out until he broke off the wedding or something but I totally get why the author let it play out the way she did. The chemistry was to strong to fight, they needed one another like you need air to breathe, I get it I do, I just didn’t like that he didn’t feel one ounce of remorse about it. He was totally fine with cheating on his fiance and it makes you wonder if he’s done it before.
This book had me crying, no surprise there, but I didn’t need an entire box of tissues as I had with the first book. I am looking forward to seeing how things play out now that Holly is going to Zurich for a year in ENDLESS LOVE. I have also added the WHAT IF SERIES to my TBR list, this series changes the outcome of different parts of this series by adding the “What if” factor, what if Holly called Jake after she gave birth and different scenarios like that.
This book is filled with passion so please readers be over 17 when purchasing. Happy Reading!!!
This is the second book in the 4Ever Series. This is another great addition to the Series. Holly and Jake’s story continue, and their story is emotional, well written, and filled with twists and turns. I love to have the Dual POV. The ending is breathtaking. Now, I want more about Holly and Jack’s story, but no more twists and turns! I just want their happiness! Stefanie Kay and Duane Dale did a great job with the narration. They both have a great voice, easy to understand. I was given a free review copy of the audiobook — at my request — and have voluntarily left this review.
I recommend the the entire series
This is an emotionally challenging story that will have you running the gambit on your feelings as you take a peek into Holly’s journey of sorting out her life. She is betrayed, deceived, and in their own ways loved. Jake is her soul mate but I have to say his mother is a pistol one that you want to take and shake some sense into. Will they be able to put aside their problems caused by his mother and will Holly be able to forgive all that has happened to get to a place that brings happiness and joy?

I love the story between Jake and Holly it’s a story about them falling in love instantly and having his family against their love. Since the start their connection was fire work but when their are people against the relationship its very hard to be happy. End the end he stayed in the East Coast and she went to the West Coast when Jake broke her heart.
I loved this book and the whole series.. I have reread so many time…
I wanted to like this one and I was hoping that it was going to be better than the first one. However, this book was long and it took almost until the 40% mark to really get the story going. I do want them to get together but the way it happened is not how I wanted it. He should have never cheated on his fiancee. I will read the last book and I just hope that it all ends well.
