This book had me from the first page. Story about a heartbreaking event that breaks Lacey and Landon apart then six years later they meet again. Many things have changed in their lives, but can they put the past behind them and battle for a future? I loved how no matter what happened to her in the past Lacey is so strong and her son is her main focus in life. I loved the support of her mother and sister Shay as they helped Lacey to be the woman she is today. Landon what can I say about him, he is sweet and trying to please everyone but himself. I loved how he wouldn’t give up. This book is about second chances and finding your way through the pain to the love you deserve.
This story had me on an emotional rollercoaster. I was ugly crying, elated and so made I almost threw my kindle. Lacey is a fierce strong independent women that has battled through the unthinkable. A really loved this character. Now Landon I wanted to throat punch a few times but he did finally redeem himself. The journey these two go on to find each other and love again was not easy but sometimes those huddled make you stronger.
This is Lacey and Landon’s story. These two are introduced to each other when Lacey is just 16-years old, and Landon is a little older. The love and connection between these two are incredible and magical. When Lacey endures a vicious and brutal event which is life changing and shows what a survivor she is. Landon is furious and cannot accept her decision, so he leaves when she need him the most. 6-Years later fate bring these two together again, but is it to late for them to have a 2nd chance? This is a well written emotional roller coaster, which is heart-wrenching, raw, gritty, and with laughter and tears throughout. This story may contain triggers for some so be aware of the warning. This is not a story for the feint-at-heart. I look forward to reading more from this talented author.
Until Forever by Shaniel Watson is a 2nd chance romance that’s full of emotional rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, intense chemistry and deep feels. This is Landon and Lacey’s story. You need to keep tissues handy because you will cry. I ugly cried and it wasn’t pretty as parts of this story aren’t but that’s the beauty of this read. This makes it a more honest , heartfelt, heartbreaking yet beautiful romance because that is what life is about. What drove apart Landon and Lacey, how they found their way back and can their love withstand outside forces..all that makes this such a great read. I will say Landon needed to be more proactive about getting certain persons out of his life alot sooner and not be so wishy washy. Lacey is truly a great person who went through a horrific experience and came thru the other side. She struggles but triumphs everyday. She is amazing. She’s sweet, hardworking, and just strong. Without giving any more away, just does what needs to be done.The secondary characters add to this romance and I really hope that we get a book 2 with Shay and Trigg’s story. This is a really good 2nd chance romance.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
This is one of the most beautiful second chance romances that I have ever read. These characters were torn apart by tragedy despite loving each other truly and completely. That love just doesn’t go away. What happens when you meet again years later and all those feelings come rushing back? This is a story of first love, heartache, sorrow, betrayal and redemption. These characters are real, damaged and flawed. This story flows beautifully across the pages. This was a first read for me from this author but it definitely won’t be the last. I highly recommend this book but be sure and have some tissues handy.
I loved this book. I was glad to see Lacey stand up for herself with the going back and forth between her boyfriend who didn’t understand he had to completely break off the marriage that wasn’t working if he wanted a relationship with her. Also to see that she wasn’t broken by her circumstances and that you can become stronger after tragedy threatens your life
This book had me from page one!! I actually had several friends read with me. Amazing story very different and beautifully written. This book will tear you up!! It broke my heart and put it back together.
Brutally honest, captivating, gut-wrenching, beautiful. That is what I feel like I just read, a truly open and honest look at the challenges a person deals with when faced with a most heinous act inflicted upon them. Lacey’s world is shattered in one night and she has to figure out how to rebuild herself for the love of her son. Landon walks away from the woman he loves, unable to cope with what happened and that she chooses to keep the baby. When years later, 2 boys become best friends at school, who knew that Lacey and Landon would be reunited. This is a full on ugly cry book as you step through all the emotions that both Lacey and Landon face. The challenges for 2 young boys, one looking for a father and the other not wanting his parents to break apart, made my heart bleed. There are so many hard choices in life, no easy answers, this romance showed the beauty of love while being honest that the road to happiness is not easy.
