I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This was an enjoyable bad boy/good girl forbidden romance and would recommend to everyone that likes this type of romance.

A good read which keeps you hooked. There is friendship, love, jealousy. The last part of the book in Sebastian's pov felt unesserary and repetitive. The rest of the series is worth a read

One of my favorite tropes is forbidden romance and this series does not disappoint. It has everything you would want in romance sex, romance, hot characters, steamy scenes. Would highly recommend!!!

I mean...it's nothing new. The plot is pretty generic and predictable, to boot. It wasn't great, and I don't have high romance-genre expectations.

I got completely lost in this series. I have a big soft spot for a bad boy good girl romance and this definatley hit the spot. It was such an easy read that I found myself up till the early hours itching to know where it was going. The ending was a tad predictable but overall it was an enjoyable read that kept me wanting more.

After reading all these books, I’m unsure how I feel about them. I felt like I have already read the books before even though I haven’t. Maybe it was because I have read some that are similar? I’m unsure. I did like the writing style of the books. The characters were a little hard to get into but once I did, I had a good time reading it. I think Sebastian was my favourite character.

Well written romance for adults.

Good characters and interesting storyline. Easy to read and follow.

Beautiful cover.

ARC received through NetGalley. This is my honest review. All opinions are my own

I really enjoyed this book and it definitely kept me gripped. It was steamy and romantic and it totally kept me on edge with the story all the way through. I found myself rooting so much for Sebastian and hoping that he would get his happy ever after that I so felt the character deserved. Definitely a lot more substance to the story than your usual romance. Really enjoyed.

A new to me author The Forever Series by Tara Gallina a group of 4 or 5 books. I enjoyed everything about these books. The character development was perfect for the storyline. I can't wait to read more about these characters.

An ok YA series. The writing was done well and if you like reading about the trials and tribulations of young rich kids, You’ll like this series.

The Forever Series...
Was it good? Yes, sure
Was it special? Not quite
I'll start off by saying that the storyline was rather cliché. Seriously I almost read the exact same story a while ago. And can anyone tell me why the mafia is so popular these days? I don't quite get it but I'll just roll with it for now.
So the story is about Harper who almost hits Sebastian (her future love interest) with a door and then things evolve based on that particular encounter. Sebastian is very egnigmatic there are rumors running around saying he's a part of the mafia (which he is) and just overall people aren't sure what to make of him, he's no like the other boys. Perfect love interest am I right?
Harper needs a job, Sebastian proposes her to work for him and that's how she will discover that the rumors aren't just rumors. And so the story goes on.

I really liked the writing style it was smooth which gave me the opportunity to finish the book in just a day. Before I knew I had finished the whole thing.
The characters were a whole different story. I mean truth be told I wasn't very taken with them, I just wasn't emotionally invested anything could've happened to them and I just wouldn't have cared. The only remotely interesting character if you ask me was Nathan even though he has a questionable taste in girls.

Would I recommend this book? Yeah, if you're into romance and aren't expecting an extraordinary story. Don't get me wrong I've read way worse but I also have read much better books.

Before I finish I would just like to add that I really enjoyed reading the first chapters through Sebastian's eyes, it's always fun to read how the other party percieved the events that took place. It gives more depth to the story.

4 stars

I am a sucker for mob romances and this one was no different. Loved the 2 main characters and some of sides. Hated the best friend! What a b! This was my 1st book (books?) from this author and I can’t wait to gobble up more!

Loved it!! I read every word in this book and never once lost interest. Such a well told story that keeps you asking what’s next! I really look forward to more by this author.

Consider me pleasantly surprised by how good this was. The Forever Series was actually a really fun read. It was so intriguing, I flew through it despite having such a large amount of work to do this month.

I couldn't put it down for too long, before my mind started to wonder what was going to happen next.

My expectations going into this was not that high, especially because I've had some very mediocre, if not plain horrible, reading experiences lately. Surprisingly, this wasn't trashy or cringey in any way. The story flows and develops at a steady pace, building up tension, suspense and action with each volume that you read. It would have driven me insane had I not had all volumes to read. That being said, I would suggest people read at least the first three volumes together to get the full effect of the story. The "romance" develops at a good pace, nothing is too rushed, with feelings and random behaviour coming out of nowhere to further the plot. Everything flowed perfectly! There were some things that may have been a tad bit unrealistic, but what do I know about the mafia and how they operate or how people would behave being a part of this world.

Honestly I give this series a 4.5 star rating.

A lot of adult romance books in this genre come across as very forced, cringey and off putting, but Tara did a really good job at making this feel real. Also, the romance elements, were so good! I just love how organic Sebastian and Ainsley's relationship was.

NOTE: I have not read Vol 4 yet, which is from Sebastian's perspective. BUT, I will write a more in-depth review for this on my blog, including my thoughts on Vol 4.

OMG this is an absolutely amazing series and I couldn't put it done as it was so addictive. I loved Sebastian and Ainsley and how they interacted with each other and the connection and chemistry between them was off the charts hot and I couldn't get enough of them. They have both gone through so much in there lives and I got so emotional reading what had happened to both of them. This is the first book that I have read by Tara but definitely not the last as she is an incredible author and talented writer and I can't wait to read the next book in this amazing series. I definitely recommend you read this series and you will definitely not be disappointed.

A lovely set of books (this is the complete series comprising of 4 books) it was an entertaining read, lots of emotion, tension and great characters. I loved the fact you got different perspectives rather than just the main character. A really addictive series and highly recommended

Received as an ARC from netgalley and really enjoyed it. Great characters and storyline and liked how the author showed the point of view of both characters for what happened. Would highly recommend reading! Can't wait to read more from this author in the future

I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

#4: Sebastian - http://jeracalea.blogspot.com/2019/10/review-sebastian.html?m=1

Overall I'm glad I got a chance to read this series.!

When I first saw the Forever Series, I thought it would be the typical college romance- young, innocent, virgin girl meets the rich, gorgeous, aloof stranger.. and it is that but then so much more. It definitely had more depth to it than others I’ve read. I loved the build up to Ainsley and Sebastian’s relationship, not to mention the friendship between him and his roommates. The characters were likeable (except Harper, for obvious reasons) and well developed. I just couldn’t put it down.
