Forever with You audiobook

4 stars! Forever with Me is the book in Armentrout’s ‘Wait for You’ series I was most anxious to read. This is Nick’s book. The bartender we’ve met in the other books, and Stephanie’s. I love that she put this couple together. Both are known for their no-relationships/only one night stands status, so I was curious to see how their story would turn out. It was so much more emotional than I expected. I cried in this book. Real tears, not just tearing up. It may have been that the subject matter was delicate for me, but I seriously had a mini-breakdown on the way to work in my car listening to the audio. It was so very heartbreaking at times. Nick and Steph were so much more than I expected. I was interested to read their story, but I didn’t think that I would love it or them as much as I did. I was especially impressed with Stephanie. She hasn’t been shown in the best light in some of the other books, but she’s one of my favorite heroines of the series. She was fun and feisty, had a take no crap attitude, but she also had a big heart. Nick was also great. Learning about his past and seeing the way he handled his heartbreak made me love him more. "Tell me that you still want to be here. Tell me that you still se a future for us. Tell me that you love me.” 
I don’t really feel like I can review this story properly. Anything I say about the plot could definitely be spoiler-ish and this is one you want to read without those hints. I think had I known was was going on, it wouldn’t have been as powerful. I love Armentrout’s writing and this series. This book had a little less mystery/drama than the last few but it didn’t need it. It had so many other things going on I think it would have been overkill. I enjoyed this one lots, even if it did make me cry like a baby. I can’t wait for the next book in this series (BROCK!) and I love the way his story has been set up! If you’re looking for an emotional yet sweet and sexy read, this is one you’ll want to pick up! “We’ll figure this out. We will. You and I. Together. We can do this.”

5 stars!! I love Jennifer's books, it's pretty darn obvious. So when I met her in Vegas and received this arc I was on Cloud Fucking 9. I even started reading it on the drive back to LA that night! (but then it got dark so I had to wait). Even better this is Stephanie and Nick's story!!! So since I read this in July and am just now reviewing in September, I will do my best to do it justice. Stephanie moved to a new town to start as an assistant at her dream job. One night she hits up the local bar where she meets sexy bartender Nick. Both of them indulge in a hot one night stand that leaves them wanting more, but neither one of them are willing to admit it, at least at first. As time goes by the two are drawn together by circumstances beyond their control, and they begin to explore the idea of a relationship together. It took me a moment but when I started reading I realized Stephanie had been present in the series all along, she even had some sexy times with our favorite heroes before they found their girls. I love that JLA took "the slutty girl" and instead of shaming her, showed us everything there was to know about her. Stephanie is a strong woman who enjoys sex, and she doesn't feel shame in that. Yet there is also a vulnerable side to her that shows she doesn't like being set apart. Nick was kind of a dick at first (just a little bit) but Stephanie called him on his crap and I loved it. As the book went on I fell in love with Nick alongside Stephanie, because once he opened up and showed who he was on the inside, we all saw the sweet and wonderful man that he was covering up. I want a hot bartender of my own now!!! As per usual, JLA brought out all of the feels in this one and it's the reason I always turn to her books for something to read. Plus, this book can honestly be read as a standalone, reading the previous 4 books is helpful (and they are awesome so you should) but this book can be easily read on its own.

Nick and Steph just became one of my favorite couple from this series. I loved the connection they had, even when they both would have rather they didn't have it. Two commitment-phobes don't seem like they would make a good couple, but for these characters it worked for them. I loved seeing them both fight their attraction after that one night together and it added just the right amount of angst to their story. As usual this author delivers us an adorable couple with a sweet, but also heartbreaking, story and I loved it. If you haven't read this series yet I would highly recommend using some Christmas money to go get it asap.

“We got each other. No matter what. There is a you and me.” Okay, so even though it started out asFeelings between Nick and Stephanie developed into an adorable relationship that ended with me being all A Few Things That Surprised Me 1) The fact that Stephanie is totally into sappy movies. I mean, in previous books, she just didn't strike me as the type, but after hearing her story, it totally makes sense.2) How much of a sweet, adorable, cocky bastard Nick can be. Sure it works for him, but I was still completely on board when Stephanie smacked him with her purse.3) The connection between Nick and Calla's pasts. I just wasn't expecting that, but it was still a great tie in!Overall, it was a great story. Yet, I think Jax still wins out as my favorite, but that may end up changing. Still, Stephanie?YOU'RE SO LUCKY!

I loved this book so much that I've even got it on paperback :) "Forever with You" follows Stephanie and Nick on their epic journey to one night stand lovers to parents... I know, major spoiler, but I can't help it. This book was very different from others, not because it had some action of twisted plot, but because it had a great message behind it. Personally, I loved it so much and considered it atypical for this series. The two barely know each other but after the passionate night their shared, things will change. Even if they used protection, Stephanie ends up pregnant with Nick and the two decide to keep the baby. For those who are not familiar with the connections with the previous books, Stephanie is kind of an outsider, but will be integrated into the team after this happenings with Nick. She also was included in "Wait for Me" and as you all know, she did kind of annoying things that didn't won the readers sympathy. For our characters this is a very huge change, considering Nick was a playboy and Stephanie a very non-friendly character. Why I loved it? I loved the idea of two strangers being bonded by a pregnancy and in the process falling in love. I loved that even without experience, or a lot of money, they wanted to have the baby. I loved that they began to discover each other and realized that not only the baby was the unity element, but the things they shared together and the love between them. The plot follows them and even if some unexpected things occur, Nick and Stephanie were awesome together, a couple that made mistakes, but found their missing piece in the most curious circumstances. Their future seems very promising and I hope Jennifer will tell their story further, in the next book, maybe? I know that maybe this scenario was very "soap-opera" -ish, but my addiction to them and love for this series managed to win me over and made me a dying fan. "Wait for Me" series hits the most sensitive parts of my heart and I totally recommend it to every Romance lover out there. You can possible call yourself Romance lovers if you haven't read at least one book from this series :) 5 stars!!For more reviews please check https://readwithloveblog.wordpress.com


Title: Forever With YouSeries: Wait for You,#5Author: Jennifer L. ArmentroutRelease date: 29th September, 2015Cliffhanger: No HEA: (view spoiler)[ Yes (hide spoiler)]

Forever With You is the fifth novel in Jennifer L. Armentrout's Wait for You series and the turn of Nick and Stephanie to have their stories told. If first impressions were to be believed, it's the story of a seasoned player and the girl you wouldn't leave your boyfriend around. In actual fact it's the story of a guy and a girl who are ready to love but not settling until they've found it. Their story is not your typical boy meets girl affair. What begins as an intense hook up becomes a friendship of sorts, until casual becomes a lot more serious. I enjoyed peeling back the layers to Steph and Nick, the relationship they have is flawed but in honesty I'm not sure perfect would work for them. What they do have is pure and and the vulnerability they both showed with each other was completely endearing and drew me in as a reader. JLA told a story that was both steamy and sweet with the added pleasure of it also being emotionally engaging.

3.5 en realidad.Este es sin duda el que menos me ha gustado de la saga, aunque también lo he disfrutado mucho. Pero es que no me suelen emocionar los libros que tratan sobre este tema (no os puedo decir porque es spoiler). Esta es la historia de Steph (ella sale en los dos primeros libros sobre todo, ya que tuvo algo con los dos personajes masculinos en su día) y Nick (chico que trabaja en Mona, mejor amigo de Roxy). Nick es un chico que huye del compromiso. Suele ir de flor en flor y nunca repite. Steph tampoco quiere nada serio. Así que cuando se conocen, tienen una noche alocada y ya. Pero obviamente, no se va quedar en solo en una noche, como os podéis imaginar. No os quiero contar el motivo de su acercamiento, pero se acercarán y tendrán que encontrar la confianza entre ellos para entablar una relación. Su historia de amor me ha gustado mucho, pero también me ha frustado bastante. Eso sí, me vi venir desde el principio lo que iba a pasar en cierto momento porque estaba girando todo en torno a un tema y no estaba habiendo drama, y dejadme deciros que en los libros de Jenn tiene que haberlo, así que sabía lo que iba a pasar porque no podía ser otra cosa y efectivamente, fue así xDHa sido bonito ver al resto de personajes, aquí hay un par de escenas con los personajes del primer libro que me han hecho fangilear todo y más. No es mi favorito, pero se ha leído rápido, me ha atrapado como el resto y lo he disfrutado a pesar de que trate de mi tema menos favorito de este género.

So quiet honestly, this is a bit hard to review without giving away spoilers so I will be trying a different format. But wow, oh wow.. I don't even know where to begin. I have only read Armentrouts NA books, I have yet to read anything else by her, which is a shame really because I own a couple of her YA novels that are currently glaring at me from the bookcase. She is an amazing author that evokes a long of feelings for me with her writing, even if not all of them are necessarily good. Forever with You was one of those books I love to hate because of the difficult subject matter. After reading the synopses, you kind of know what's coming, it's like a train wreck ready to tear you apart, but you are unable to put it down. Mostly because you kind of hope it will heal you in the end... At one point when I told my husband why I was so upset, he asked me why was I even continuing to read this. I honestly didn't know, aside from the fact that not everything I read is going to shelter me from the darker side of life and the other part is, well, Armentrouts writing was still hard to put down, no matter how painful it was.  The Characters Nick and Stephanie are the two stars of the show in this book. Nick is a bartender who ends up having a one night stand with Stephanie based on the pure attraction between them. So yes, they jump into a love scene from the very first few pages of the book - but that's okay, because it sets up a whirlwind of events that follow the consequences of that one night.Stephanie is an interesting character. She believes in love, but she doesn't do relationships unless she feels that they are worth it. She has no issues with discovering the other person to feel if they click before committing to anything, and that is what she feels sets her apart from other girls her age. She doesn't feel like the girlfriends of her previous fling like her, but as the book goes on her opinion of them and how they really see her changes. Nick is a one night stand type of guy. But he isn't a bad guy, he just has a lot going on in his personal life that we don't see until later in the book, so it's understandable why he doesn't do relationships, especially if it already had a negative effect on one he use to have.Together, they are amazing. The heat, the lust, and the physical dynamic are all there. I loved the banter, I loved the connection. I especially loved how the two grow together given the circumstances and how it affected them later on in the book when the tragedy struck.  The Plot I don't know... I really don't. I really liked the book I did, but I am going to be honest. It was one of the hardest books to read. I am not oblivious that things like this happen and I applaud Armentrout for having the guts to write about this subject matter, but for me, it was difficult - especially knowing that it was coming, so reading the book and basically just wondering when it was going to strike. I don't expect a lot of people to be comfortable with it and maybe I am wrong, because Armentrout does handle it pretty well, and maybe it's because she is such a great author who's writing really captures your feelings. I cannot go too much into the plot, but basically it's about two people who are very much the same, who kind of find a way to deal with their similarities and differences when something happens that bring them close together. I don't want to spoil, so it's hard to talk about most of the plot. But I did love watching Steph and Nick grow, it was very heartfelt how they were brought together and how the tragedy didn't pull them apart. I am proud of Nick with the way he had handled it, even if I wanted to throttle Steph for being so stupid for thinking Nick would react differently otherwise. The Writing As I said before. I love the writing. I love Armentrout's NA series, so far I cannot say that I have been disappointed. There is a lot more steam in them, then in YA books, but that's understandable and I don't mind it, just a word of caution for those that have only read her YA series. Armentrout really knows how to build relationships in her books without making it boring. Each story told is very different, the circumstances that bring the characters together are also different, but they are all very true to life. I feel like I personally know the character's in her books. So well written, so well fleshed out. You also have to enjoy them reappearing throughout the series. The amount of emotion she has packed into this book was pretty powerful. What happened to Nick and Steph, I would not wish on anyone, but like Armentrout had said through her characters, something like this does happen, and it was interesting to see how the two mended their shattered world to move on.In conclusion, besides how difficult the subject matter ended up being for me. I really did love this book. I am looking forward to the next book in the series, which is Brock's story, really excited about that one!This review was originally posted on Night Owl Book Café

4.5 stars...This was definitely not what I was expecting from this book... as with most other reviews, I'm not going to go into any detail (which ironically I found frustrating while reading the reviews, but I ended up being grateful because I was able to enjoy the book a lot more). This was definitely different than the other novels in the series, mainly because of how casual they were in the beginning. And while I liked that everything felt very realistic in terms of the start of their relationship, I couldn't help but feel like it was missing some of the magic and butterflies (lame, I know...) I usually feel when reading NA. They have a true ONS and neither really reaches for more. But at the same time, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way because it was so unbelievably true to the characters. So, yes, the beginning started out a little slow for me and I really wish Nick would have been more present (but again, I can't be angry because that would have been out of character). But the middle and the ending... ah especially the ending were absolutely PERFECT. I think it was around 40% where it started getting amazing for me. I couldn't put it down!! I really like Nick and Stephanie together, and I especially enjoyed getting into Steph's head more... she's way more than meets the eye. And FINALLY we have a heroine who stood up for herself. When she was mad at him she didn't forget about it just because he kissed her and rubbed up against her and she couldn't possibly be angry anymore because she was just soooo attracted to him (*sarcastic voice*)... I was very happy when that scene happened. And I know pretty much everyone has said this, but I loved any scene that questioned the sex stereotypes between men and women. JLA handled it very well and it was such a refreshing change.For some reason, even though nothing crazy happened in this book, it felt very unique because it went against a lot of the common themes in romance (love at first sight, men vs. women's attitude toward sex, etc...). And despite the slow beginning, it felt very romantic at the end and I couldn't wait for their HEA! If you are a fan of the series, you'll definitely want to read this!

Buckle in, the second you pick up Forever with You you are about to embark on an emotional roller coaster to beat all contemporary romance emotional roller coaster. This book was fan-freakin’-tastic! From start to finish you are immersed in Stephanie and Nick…the ups, the downs and the laughter that makes fictional characters people.Got to say Stephanie hasn’t been a favorite character of mine in the Waiting for You series, until now. Armentrout pulls out all the stops giving us a of dream story to imbibe, tackling difficult circumstances with amazing clarity, realism and truth!I love this series and I love this book!

I have loved every book in this series and this one is no different. The characters are all so real to me and that's the most important part of any book as far as I'm concerned.Steph gets a bad rap in the first couple of books in this series. Because of that, I was concerned if I was gonna like her. But I loved her. She doesn't do relationships. Love is a thing but she hasn't experienced it. And she's not gonna settle for anything less than what her parents had. In the mean time, she's up for a good time and Nick is definitely the guy she wants to have that good time with.I've always liked Nick. When I first met him, I knew there was a story behind that cocky attitude and confidence. And he sure does have a story. His family is very interesting but it's Nick that steals the show. He's got the biggest heart ever. Over and over again, he just blew me away with what a great guy he is. One night stands are his thing but Steph makes him question that practice. These two are really two of a kind. They don't do relationships but when it comes to each other, just maybe. They have something that brings them together and it's sweet. But they aren't clear with what's really happening. And as miscommunication goes, they're great at it. So when the pain comes...and, oh does the pain come, it rips them apart. But I will say that the as much as I was hurting for them, I was so happy with Nick. I can't say more than his reactions made me proud. Good job, Nick.Lots of sexy in this one, no surprise there. This author is know for the sexy times in her new adult and adult books. But it was more than that. It was a discovery for these two as they figured out how to be in a relationship. There is a scene where Nick just tells Steph he wants kisses whenever they greet each other. I loved it.I did see it coming and I just held on as I watched it unfold. Such a great story with some very important themes.AND LOKI! Steph's mom has a little Jack Russell terrier named Loki. If you know this author, then you know that's her dog. I loved this sweet little addition. And at one point, I just curled up with my puppy as tears ran down my face while reading this story. No, Loki is fine. Just felt the need to snuggle that little pup.This book can be read stand alone. The author does a great job of filling in necessary information from previous books. The gangs all there, though. So if you have read the rest of the series, you'll appreciate Katie being around. And there's a couple of big events for Cam and Avery in this one. That was great.If you love new adult romance where the decisions are so life altering and emotional with a side of serious sexy, then this is your next read.

ARC provided by publisher/author in exchange for an honest review"Nick was like jigsaw puzzle where the most intricate pieces had been misplaced, and deep down I knew that no matter how many times I would shake the puzzle up and start over, those pieces would always be missing and I would never have the complete picture."Jennifer L. Armentrout is one of those authors who can easily mesmerized her readers with her words, characters, and story-line. In her fifth installment of the Wait For You Series, Ms. Armentrout once again captures her readers attention as she showcases the full spectrum of a beautiful touching love story in Forever With You. Forever With You embodies a touching and endearing tale of love, passion, and devotion. In this book, we are introduced to Nick and Stephanie, a couple who has this push and pull type of relationship. Together they must learn how to conquer their fears on love and unresolved past issues that affects them from truly moving forward. With raw emotions integrated into the story-line, Ms. Armentrout was able to showcase all facets that love entails from learning to let go, healing, trusting, and opening up one's heart. "Tell me that you still want to be here. Tell me that you still see a future for us. Tell me that you love me."I absolutely adored this sweet, tender, and emotionally charged romance. The connection of Nick and Stephanie was passionate, poignant and heart-warming. Ms. Armentrout did an amazing job sprinkling layers of humor, wit, banter, sexiness, steam, passion, and heart. So if you are looking for a book that epitomize a beautiful, palpable, and touching tale of love then I recommend you to read Forever With You.Review can also be found on Four Chicks Flipping Pages: http://fourchicksflippingpages.weebly...Jennifer L.
