Forever by Kindle Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’m going with four start because I’m a nice guy and I really, really liked the story and the main characters. However brutally honest I probably would have chosen three stars, why?
Again I loved the story so much. I love both Robert and Landon, Autumme and Nonnie I think a lot of people who have waited for this book for so long. After Always we all kind of wondered what happened. And you get it in this book or at least some of it, you don’t actually get the forever part, because the book doesn’t end like the first one. I still hope for a third. I was really heartbroken at times I even cried a little, simply because of the gestures the Adams family showed Landon, I loved that so much.
Now back to the rating: The reason for my dislike is that I fell that the author falles into what I refer to as the “sex pit” I don’t really know another word for it. I feel like the most of the middel section of the book (from where they reconnect to almost to where Landon is transferred) is about sex. But when the sex descriptions takes over the story and not the other way around I get bored. They had sex in the office, in the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, bedroom again, you get the point. I don’t know why they do it, is it because it’s easier to write about the sex that writing the story, I don’t really know (I wish I did). Now I done it before, I just flip through the descriptions, and with other books I found out later I missed vital parts of the the story because I was included in the descriptions of the sexual acts, I just can’t be bothered to be honest. I feel like it could be so easily solved, why not just write “They went into the bedroom/the kitchen/office/bathroom where Robert made love to Landon for/in a hurry/hours/ until they were both exhausted. Robert woke up the next morning looking at his now husband.” you get my point? Let the story be the main focus not the sex.
I would have loved for the story to continue, maybe let them grow old together like in the first book. Let the children grow up and maybe be the base for the next book, let the family legacy continue.
The story is very Kindle Alexander, very well written I will give you that. I not quite sure whether it will be a reread for me only time will tell.
