I read the trilogy

This will be the same review for all three books.

This series had some powerful stuff going on. There was concealment on both sides leading to misunderstanding and drama galore, but it was a nice growing relationship story. Sometimes I just stared at my phone thinking the leading lady was on crack, but she had her reasons for doing what she did, and he had his reasons for being the way he was.

This isn't up there with the Crossfire series because those are just exhausting to read with all the ups and downs, but this also wasn't memorable like some of the other trilogies I have read...maybe I'm being a poor sport about this but I think too much of their story was told. The old saying of first theirs love, then theirs marriage, then there is blank in the baby carriage...it was just told so clearly that it didn't leave much to the imagination.

The series is cheap enough so go ahead and purchase it, just save your credits for more powerful listens...I wouldn't call this series fluff but it wasn't gripping either.

Conners POV

Loved reading this from Conner's POV it added so much to the story. Getting the feelings from a sworn bachelor that didn't believe he was worthy of love in his life. it was amazing to feel what he felt through the whole relatinship.

What? Is this even legal?

This book is basically the same exact story but in Connors voice. Listen to me... SKIP IT!

complete repeat

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

very disappointed. It was a complete repeat of book only from his side.

Has Forever You turned you off from other books in this genre?

no

Would you be willing to try another one of Felicity Munroe and David Benjamin Bliss ’s performances?

Any additional comments?

complete repeat

Same as Forever Black...just from a different pers

What would have made Forever You better?

If it was not the same book as Forever Your except written from Conner.

What other book might you compare Forever You to and why?

I have not run into this before. Forever Black and Forever You are the same story, with the exception that Forever Black is told by Ellery and Forever You is told by Conner.

What does Felicity Munroe and David Benjamin Bliss bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

David Benjamin Bliss does not do female characters very well. He has a wonderful voice though. I wish Denny's voice was the same in Forever You as it was in Forever Black...I could visualize Denny in Forever Black, but just could not grasp him visually in Forever You.

What character would you cut from Forever You?

None of them...all of the characters add to the book.

Any additional comments?

If you have read Forever Black...skip this book.

Slightly Better in Connor's POV

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

A marriage counselor who can stand to listen to people fight back and forth.

Would you ever listen to anything by Sandi Lynn again?

Not sure

Would you listen to another book narrated by Felicity Munroe and David Benjamin Bliss ?

Yes

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Forever You?

The excessive childish fighting scenes started by Ellery. She was so sweet and caring to everyone else but she was constantly antagonizing Connor. Hearing Connor's POV made the story a little more tolerable since it wasn't always Ellery's antagonizing voice.

Any additional comments?

Hearing Connor's POV made the story a little more tolerable since it is the same story as Forever Black so my review is pretty much the same.
I think the falling in love and fighting through the cancer was unique story line but Ellery was extremely frustrating, immature and had double standards. She would hide information from Connor but go bat shit crazy on him. She was excessively stubborn and constantly goading Connor to fight then would run away and expect him to always chase after her. She always need her "space" and at some point, Connor should have dumped her it was getting so ridiculous. There were times I just wanted to rip out my ear plugs.

Skip this one and get onto Forever Us

Any additional comments?

I would save your credit as this is Connor's Point of View from Forever Black. To much of the same as book 1. I'm onto Forever Us, the last book in this wonderful story :)

What a disappointment,

What would have made Forever You better?

If it was an original sequel instead of the same story!! As the 1st book , I has high hopes but was disappointed u couldn't even finish it.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Unsure

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The best part

Any additional comments?

What a waste of my 13.95

repeat

with the exception of the last 2 chapters this is the exact same story/book as the first. skip it and go to the next in series. you will start at the birth of baby.

Male perspective or duplication

Completely disappointed reading the same book from a male perspective waste of money. Absolutely the same story!
