Megan’s Review

I first fell in love with Christian and Elizabeth last November when I read Take This Regret, which I re-read when Lost To You was released and fell in love with their story even more. If Forever Comes is the continuation, the final chapter, in Christian and Elizabeth's story.

When we left off with Take This Regret, Christian and Elizabeth finally had their fairy tale love on the right track. Everything was rosy, perfect... In If Forever Comes something has changed, the fairy tale has been shattered. In this book we discover what happened in a series of flashbacks from both POVs.

There is mystery and intrigue as you piece the snippets back together. Their story is told out of sequence, flitting from the love they shared to the tragedy that has unfolded, flowing effortlessly back and forth.

A.L. Jackson's writing style is one that I have not come across with any other author. She has a way of telling a story that is gut-wrenchingly beautiful, the words poetically leaping off the page. Her words will draw you in, suck you into the minds of her characters in a way that you will feel every emotion, feel their anger, frustration and cry their tears of both joy and sorrow. It is an intensely raw and gripping read, full of passion.

Ugly cry warning, that is what this book needs! It had me sobbing to the point where I had to put the book down for a moment to gather myself. These characters will forever live in my heart. THE WHOLE SERIES IS A DEFINITE MUST-READ! 5 STARS!

(Take This Regret #0.5)

People come into our lives. Some stay, and many go. Some build us up, while most tear us down. They become our friends, our enemies, our lovers, our tormentors. Christian Davison came into mine, and I knew I’d never be the same. 

To Elizabeth Ayers, New York City had always been a dream. She’s worked her entire young life to make it here. Groomed to one day take over his father’s law firm, attending Columbia University was Christian Davison’s only option. 

Neither wanted anything more until they sat across from each other at a café table after being paired as study partners. Christian wants her, but Elizabeth knows better than to give into their intense attraction. Yet there is little she can do to stay away. 

Lost to You, the prequel to the bestselling romance, Take This Regret. A New Adult novella, recommended for readers 17+.

(Take This Regret #1 - Even though this was the first book released it can be read either before or after Lost to You. Though you MUST read this one before If Forever Comes.)

There are some mistakes we make that we will regret for the rest of our lives. For Christian Davison, it was the day he betrayed Elizabeth Ayers. For five years, Christian has regretted the day he walked away from his family and will do anything to win them back.

Can Elizabeth forgive someone who has committed the unforgiveable? Or are there some wounds that go so deep they can never heal?
