Sad story with great characters and a believable happy ending!
This book was amazing! So well written and realistic. Read this; you won’t be disappointed!
A must read book! Awesome story with amazing characters.
My heart broke over and over again for Fallyn and Blaze. But in the end it was all worth it. Great book! Team Blaze all the way! Love the last few lines!
This book literally had me on edge the whole time that I finished it in a day. I needed to know what happened next for Fallyn and Blaze. You can literally feel all the emotions that both put you through during the book. You can feel the struggle Blaze is going through and you can feel the heartbreak that Fallyn goes through! You can feel the insta-chemistry between them and know that they are just meant to be together, but in order to get that HEA they are going to definitely have a struggle to get through. I really enjoyed reading this book!

Boy meets girl at college party… A connection is made…
He pursuits….he breaks…he rebuilds…
This story is beyond amazing,
Wow.. Once again Marie James has blown me away. This book will give you so many feels. Not only does Marie give you a Romance story but also one about addiction and overcoming it.
Blaze had a shit show of a childhood. His father left, his mom was an alcoholic who moved to drugs, but his saving grace was football. Now playing at the college level and star quarterback women are usually falling all over him to get a chance to bed the QB. But Fallyn, she’s a breath of fresh air and something Blaze never saw coming.
Fallyn is the kind of college student who doesn’t do parties, she would rather curl up with a book and a blanket. But one night of giving in to her roommate she’s at a party where she meets Blaze…
What happens when Blaze must change course and actually work to get a female. Can he show her he’s worth it? Can the weather the storm that is brewing and heading their direction?
This book will break your heart, put it back together, piss you off, and break your heart a little more. But it is so beautifully written and is one of those stories that grabs your heart and soul and doesn’t let go until well after finishing it.
This one will rip your heart into pieces and heal it back only to shred it all over again and again, and you will love every single second of it!
I have loved Marie James from the moment I read Love Me Like That and have since devoured all of her other works. With We Said Forever she has once again proved she can write anything. This one has a completely different feel than her other books, and I could not get enough.
While Blaze made me angry and frustrated me on every level Marie writes him in such a way that you can’t help but love him and hope that he pulls himself together.
The strength it took for Fallyn to do what she had to do was admirable and I held hope for her HEA.
I didn’t expect this book to take me on such a whirlwind of emotions but I wouldn’t change one second of this heartfelt story that proves that one night, one decision can change everything.
5 Emotional Stars
We Said Forever is one of those stories that you start and you just can’t stop until you’re finished. Every single page I devoured until there were no more to turn. Marie James takes us on an emotionally charged and extremely heartbreaking at times, journey into the young lives of Blaze and Fallyn. The old saying “if love is meant to be, it will be” kept running through my head, and even though I didn’t think they would ever get there, I was so happy when they did. I can’t even begin to imagine going through something like this with someone I love. The love, the heartache, the pain, the hurt…the list goes on and on. Marie James does an amazing job of bringing to life what addiction does not only to the one using, but also to the loved ones involved and the effect it has on them. This story is about as real as it gets and even though it ripped my heart out at times, I enjoyed it tremendously.

Tragedy strikes and sends Blaze on a downward spiral. Taking him on path he swore he’d never take..
Can he fight his addiction? Will Fallyn ever trust him again?
Wow! I had so many emotions while reading this book. It was like one big rollercoaster ride. Drug addiction is such a hard topic to write about, but Marie James totally nailed it with this story. It was beautifully written. Can’t wait to read more of her books
This was not my first read from Marie James, in fact I think I have read everything that she has released and have loved each and every single one and this one just proves just how awesome an author Marie James is.
Blaze is on the road to stardom, prized quarterback coming off of a huge win, has a scholarship, and is well on his way to the NFL after college. After a chance meeting with Fallyn, he can’t get her off of his mind, and makes a point to make sure that she knows it and eventually convinces her to give him a chance. When everything seems to be going in the perfect direction, chaos ensues, and with that comes an addiction that can only be beat if one wanted too. When given the choice, between Fallyn and his new love, his addiction, which will he choose? Is he willing to risk everything?
This story deals with drug abuse, and the devastation that it leaves behind. Reading about Blaze and his downfall, just goes to show just how easy the fall is, and before anyone can say “it’s just a book”, it’s not really, this happens, all too often. This was such a deep and amazing read, that it left me a bit breathless, my only wish is the ending was a bit longer, but other than that, this was pretty much perfect, a 5 star read if ever I read one.
This was a great book. Especially dealing with those who become addicted and the fight they have to do better. Also how jealous people can contribute to ruining people’s lives
Fallyn and Blaze think they know what their future holds, but they are so wrong. Drugs, prision and family pull their lives apart.
Love this book. Highly recommend
Totally a great book on relationship starting off good then go for a down spiral. It shows how one mistake can change everything. Also love the way it gives you the look inside a young adult who is an addict in a real with someone who is ants them to be sober. Totally recommend!!!
did’t care for this one ….. lost me in the initial 10 pages
