This book was oh so good. It immediately grabbed my heart and just held onto it from then on. After the sudden loss of her husband, Saylor is trying to make it through every day not just for herself but for their 3 year old so as well. Saylor hasn’t figured out how to feel her grief and loss while also putting on a happy face for her son, especially when little things start to set off her memories of Colin. Everyone tells her the heaviness she feels will pass in time and that she will eventually be able to move on. No one understands what she is going through. No one… until Jace. Jace is not only a family friend, but Saylor’s brothers best friend. Having lost someone as well, Jace knows what Saylor is going through and can see right through her happy facade. But when feelings begin to develop he is nervous and tries to hold them back before he scares her away. But when her feelings are revealed to be mutual, he can’t hold back anymore. Saylor is afraid to fall in love with anyone who wasn’t her deceased husband, afraid of feeling like she is trying to replace him. Jace is determined to help Saylor understand that no one will take Colin’s place, but merely share her heart. This book was so heartfelt and it totally made me cry in some parts, and it totally made me laugh out loud in some as well. I haven’t read a book by K. Street until now and I have to say I loved it! And lucky for me! It looks like it is going to be a “family” series! Woohoo!!! The next book will be about Saylor’s brother Easton
This is a beautiful story of Saylor’s journey through grief after the unexpected death of her husband. K Street wrote a raw emotional story that will grab you from the first page. Jace is the brothers best friend and Saylor’s first crush who’s also has had to deal with death. Their journey together is hard, heartbreaking and beautiful all rolled into one great story!
“But, one day, you’ll be ready to open your heart again, and you’ll see that maybe where forever ends is just a different beginning.” Her words”
A story everyone should read, you’ll learn there’s no right or wrong way to deal but you’ll come out the other side!
This is the 1st on a new series from this author and is Saylor and Jase’s story. Saylor has been recently widowed and moves back to her hometown with her little boy. Jase is her brother’s best friends and as he has issues to overcome as she has, they grow closer. This is a beautifully written tale which is an emotional roller coaster throughout as well as being raw, gritty, heat-breaking, and with loss, grief and love. I was totally intrigued and hooked throughout this riveting story and I highly recommend for all.
I honestly can’t express how much I felt reading this story. I absolutely loved it.

Before and After. Then and Now. Part A and Part B. No one believes that their life will change once you find that perfect rhythm, but as we all know, life can change in a matter of seconds.
She had found her happy place. She had a husband, Colin, she loved with all her heart and the result was a beautiful child, Knox. She was happy, exceptionally happy some might have dared to say. With the sudden death of her husband, Saylor finds herself fighting to stay afloat. She would like nothing more than to give in to her grief and just disappear. She can’t do that. She needs to be strong, if not for herself then for Knox. The only problem is she doesn’t know how to continue on.
In a sea of people offering her comfort and condolences, a figure from her past comes back. Jase, her brother’s best friend, and her old school crush has come back to check on her. He’s walked the same path that Saylor is currently going through. He knows the pain that losing the love of your life can cause. He offers her everything that he needed in his time of loss: a shoulder to lean on, a sympathetic ear and above all, someone who can kind of understand. But underneath his seemingly pure motives of help, Jase can’t help but want something more. He’s loved Saylor since they first met and she shares the same feelings. Can she let her old life go to make room for the new?
This book quite literally ripped my heart out like Saylor’s heart was ripped out. K Street fills her writing with pure emotion that grabs you from the first page. The emotion bleeds from the page and forces their way into your heart. The love you find in both of Saylor’s relationships is pure. It’s a story about rediscovering your way after trauma, and how opening your heart again can not only help heal yourself but sometimes might be the only thing that can help you move on. While you may think that this book will only have your sobbing your way through, you’d be mostly right, but there are moments of laughter and joy.
Wow!! I am so in love! Saylor and Jace were amazing! There were parts I thought the grief was going to break me, but I am so glad I finished this book! FIVE HUGE STARS!
When I read this book, I knew it would hurt and be very emotional, I just didn’t know that it would be a raw emotional. Saylor goes through a journey of grief and don’t think she can get through it but then Jace her brothers best friend is going through the same thing. They help another out through this difficult journey and at the end, well you have to read it…
K. Street hits you hard with this one, be prepared to have tissue on the side.
This book was devastatingly heartbreaking while at the same time a beautiful romance between two people who desperately needed each other. Jase is just so perfectly perfect you fall in love with him instantly. Saylor’s pain is so tangible throughout the book you heart breaks for her, breaks for her son, breaks for Colin, and breaks for Jase only to be healed by the end. I cannot wait to read Easton’s story .
5 Accepting It’s Okay To Love Again Stars!!!
This book is beautiful to its core. Both Saylor and Jase have experienced and barely survived unimaginable grief and finding love again is at the very bottom of their “to-do” list. But life sometimes has something else planned for you, but your heart needs to be open to accepting what’s right in front of you.
Ms. Street has written characters that are flawed and scarred but also beautiful in every way that counts. Saylor is trying to move on with life after the sudden loss of her husband and she decides to do it in Maplewood Falls where her family lives. Along with her family is Jase, the best friend of her older brother that she had a huge crush on when she was a teenager. Now they’re both available but neither are ready to even think about giving their heart to another person.
I loved every single page of this book. Even when I was bawling my eyes out whether it was because Saylor was thinking about her past, or when Knox, her cutie-patootie 3-year old son talks to her about his Daddy. There were plenty of smiles in this book too, but getting to them is quite the journey. And Ms. Street doesn’t skimp on any of the emotions in this book.
Jase is a man that shouldn’t be thinking about Saylor the way he is, but, he’s tired of fighting his feelings for her and is willing to wait for her to get on the same page as him. Along the way though, there are some new memories that are laugh out loud funny as well as sexy and emotional.
Taking this journey with these characters touched me in so many ways and I’m so glad I went with them on their way to love again. Ms. Street wrote a story that drew me in, gave me all the feels and left me with a smile on my face when I got to the very last page. I can’t wait to see what happens next in Maplewood Falls!
I freaking loved this one. So many tears while reading this book. I wanted to climb inside and hug Saylor so many different times. This book was heart breaking, heart wrenching and will put your heart back together. K. Street did an amazing job writing this one. It was so well written with amazing characters that you could easily feel each and every emotion from. Saylor is going through so much. So much more than she should be going through for one person. She decides to move to Maplewood Falls with her brother. She ends up running into her brother’s best friend and her old friend Jase. These two share something. They both understand grief. I absolutely loved watching these two with each other. Jase is amazing with Saylor in more ways than one. This was just an amazing book from beginning to end. Little Knox was just so cute also. I will be reading more from this author. I am hoping there is more from this series
When I read the blurb for Where Forever Ends by K. Street I knew it would be an emotional read and I thought I was prepared, however, this story was so much more. It consumed me. The grief, the loss, I felt it in my heart. There were times when I was reading and the tears just came down my face before I realized they were there. A powerful story of loss and grief, but also about friendship, family, and love.
When we meet Saylor, she is falling apart. The man she loved, her husband, had died suddenly, and for months, she was barely surviving. But she needed to pull herself together not only herself, but her son, Knox too. So, she went home to her family. My heart broke for Saylor. I felt her loss and grief in every word and action. It was palpable.
Jase is Saylor’s older brother’s best friend. He was strong, determined and so very caring. And he understood Saylor’s loss deeply. He was there for her in a way no one else could be. But the more time he spent with Saylor and Knox, the harder he fell. Could Saylor see past her loss and grief and see what she had standing in front of her?
Where Forever Ends by K. Street was a very emotional read. It was honest, raw, and heartbreaking, but it was so much more as well. It was touching and heartwarming. It had some very amazing characters, including Easton, Saylor’s brother and Knox and of course Saylor and Jase. Jase stole my heart. He was ready to lay his heart out to Saylor and Knox, even if they could never truly be his. Such a wonderful story and one I highly recommend!

Happy reading!
4.5 stars
This is my first book by this author and I know for certain it won’t be my last.
Saylor has spent the last year accepting her life has changed and trying her best to make sure her sons thriving. After losing her husband unexpectedly Saylor hasn’t really grieved, she’s just been trying to get through one day at a time while making her son her priority. Realising she can’t keep going like she is, she needs to change something for both herself and her young son to move on, Saylor moves home to be closer to her family and goes about rebuilding her life.
Jase is Saylors brother best friend so they already share a little history. Jase is perfect. He’s hot, sexy, sweet and completely swoon worthy. He’s the perfect man to help Saylor move on and the fact he’s had to deal with his own issues only helps him understand Saylor more. I loved everything about these two. Jase is a rock for Saylor to lean on and I adored him for that.
I loved Saylor. really felt for her and her loss. It could and does happen in real life and it made it really easy to put myself in her shoes. There’s parts of this story that made my heart ache so badly. The overwhelming feelings of grief and anguish, you can literally feel Saylors pain as you’re reading. The characters are unbelievably easy to connect with, the story is emotional and raw and it had me completely engrossed from start to end. A fantastic book by this author. I’m looking forward to reading more of her work in the future.
This story was everything. You will not want to put it down. It’s about love lost and second chances after losing a great love. I fell in love with the characters and felt all kinds of emotion! I highly recommend this book.
This is the first book of K. Street’s that I have read. That blurb really caught my eye. This is a series I want to read more of.
Saylor’s whole life has been turned upside down. Her husband died unexpectedly. The only thing she has to keep her going it their son, Knox.
This book shows all the stages of grief. It shows all the emotions, including guilt.
Jace is a great guy.
I don’t want to say too much and give anything away.
But this is a very good read. I loved getting all the feels from it.
This book is a mix of a few genres brothers besr friend/single mum and friends to lovers but it all works beautifully.
The first part of the story will test your heart. Saylor is a recent widow with a young son and she is drowning in her grief. This part was written with such brutal honesty. The writing was absolutely flawless. I’ve never been in that position but I felt everything and could easily imagine myself feeling that same bone crushing despair as Saylor. The second half of the story was a reawakening and a slow burn love story courtesy of Jase. He was simply amazing. So patient supportive and loving plus he didn’t rush her. Reading about him falling in love with both Saylor and Knox made my bruised heart come back to life.
A truly beautiful second chance love story.

Such a sad but beautiful love story. Jase and Saylor were both dealing with the lost of someone but they handled it differently. Jase was doing way better than Saylor. Saylor heartbreak was just completely heartbreaking and Jase was amazing trying to be there for her. Saylor trued really hard but her grief was so deep but very slowly she started letting Jase in. This was a really, really slow burn but it was comfortable to read and you’ll have watery eyes the entire time while reading. Great secondary characters.
After reading K Street’s Jaxson Cove duet, I was really looking forward to more by this author. She has a way of creating characters that you care about- and I fell in love with Jase and Saylor, and Knox helped seal that deal.
Saylor has recently lost her husband due to an unforseen illness. Months later, she needs to get away from what was supposed to have been her future in Charlotte, and she and her son move to Maplewood Falls to be closer to her brother. Jase has been Easton’s best friend since childhood. Saylor had a crush on him when she was younger, but the age difference was too significant when she was only sixteen. Now that she’s closer, they form a bond, both having experienced losing their significant other. Jase helps Saylor accept her past, and gives her a reason to look forward to a future.
I very much loved this book. I loved the characters and their depth. I felt the emotions that Saylor experienced, and grieved along with her at times. I do wish that there had been a little more at the end, showing us where these two went, but I supposed that we will get a glimpse of that in the next Maplewood Falls book (I’m assuming it will be about Easton- and who he ends up with). K Street did a great job of setting that book up!
I look forward to more in this series, and more from K Street!
Saylor’s whole world got flipped upside down when her husband collapsed at work. Now she’s a single mom, and she knows that she can’t stay in the house where her and her husband planned to spend their lives anymore. She packs up her life and moves herself and her 3 year old son to Maple Falls, where her brother Easton is there to help her pick up the pieces. Enter Jase, her brother’s best friend and her childhood crush, who also understands tragedy and what it’s like to lose someone you love.
I devoured this book from start to finish and have the biggest book hangover. I couldn’t put it down and I feel like the author did an amazing job making sure I felt what Saylor was feeling. Grief, heartache, confusion, love, happiness. It’s all there, rolled into one tiny package. I immediately added more Of K. Street’s books to my kindle library. Love.
Saylor is a single mom and a widow. Where Forever Ends is really a story of Saylor finding her new normal. You may not be familiar with that term, but those of us who’ve lost an immediate family member understand it. Saylor and her sweet son, Knox, move to another town to live with her brother, Easton. The house she shared with her husband had too many memories. Jase is Easton’s best friend. He’s 6 years older than Saylor. When she was a young girl she definitely had a huge crush on him. Now the age difference doesn’t matter as much. Jase feels deeply for Saylor and he has loved and lost, so he is patient with Saylor. This is the story of her healing and putting her life back together.
I loved Jase. I think every woman would love to have a partner like him! This story was heart-breaking and sweet at the same time. K. Street writes beautifully! You won’t be disappointed. 4 stars
Oh my, Jase and Saylor get all the stars in this emotional, heartbreaking, wonderful romance. With Jase losing his long-time girlfriend, he was able to help Saylor deal with the emotional turmoil of losing a spouse but yet trying to move forward with her life. Jase saved the day several times and his relationship with Knox is everything you want in that type of situation. This was a beautiful story about loss, love and moving forward into the light.
