Hello Forever is easily read as a stand alone…. though if you read book 1 Goodbye Paradise you will love the use of Joshua and Caleb as they play wonderfully into this story.

Hello Forever is the story of Axel Armitage and Caxton Williams.  Both characters are now men moving forward with their lives but years ago they were teenage boys punished for this young love. Axel and Cat were friends as boys and as teenagers that bond grew, a bond that hatred tore apart.  This second chance romance had me glued to my kindle, it pulled me in, kept me wanting to read and often had my mind drifting to the story when I had to put it down to you know… live life.

How these two end up back in each other’s orbit was well done; and being witness to them re-connecting filled my heart with joy even as it broke my heart.  You see sometimes hate is so strong and surrounded by so much power that you can’t just be you.  I fell in love with Axel more and more, his understanding of Cax’s situation, the way he can’t just come out made him a character I adored!

This element for a while had me thinking, wow, how are these two men going to find a happy and then, then WOW; I didn’t see that coming or the happy they find.

I can not express to you how much I hated Cax’s father; this man takes hate to a whole new level.

Axel’s mom and the rest of Cax’s family round out a cast that crafted a world that feels real!

Why these two can finally be open and together and the together they construct is likely not the forever the them at 20’s something pictured for themselves but it so works for them!

I hope there is a book 3 in this series as Jason needs a happy and I also hope we get to visit with these amazing men; men who care deeply about each other and those around them (nope not telling read the book!).
