Evermore Series

Evermore Series finds Neely Evans back in Malibu. She’s seventeen and under her
father and stepmother’s care. Not the ideal situation, but Neely knows she has
to bide her time and play the game until she goes off to college. Seth Drake is studying in New York, and Neely is
relieved she won’t have to face him after the way things ended two years prior.
But little does she know a chance encounter on the beach a few months later
will rip open scars she thought had healed forever. Seth Drake’s rise to fame soon parts them once
again, but he will forever be entwined in Neely’s heart and soul, and that fact
does not sit well with her. She’s determined to live her life recklessly, and
in doing so, she puts everything at risk. Adult Content

BOOK REVIEW
★★★★★
Reviewed by Joanne Swinney

Things are certainly heating up in this series and it’s only book two. I want to whine like a child and demand the rest of this series be publish immediately. In all fairness the Author doesn’t leave the story on any cliffhangers, but you are left with more questions on what’s going to happen and well, I want to know NOW!
Bless thy, Neely. No longer an innocent, claimed by a man she has loved for so long, if only she could undo the past. It’s that awful saying that is really impossible, ‘if I could turn back time’. Guess it’s a good job she’s strong and determined to succeed in life and forget her past mistakes, but has she really forgot? Neely speaks volumes through her art, expressive behaviour I think some might call it.
Neely is now at college working towards her goals. While her mother is still the same selfish, uncaring, get the point? The woman needs to get a life. Like she’s the only woman in the world whose husband had an affair. It’s time to suck it up and start living. Fortunately Neely continues to grow and learning some hurtful lessons along the way. I have a feeling this chick will go far.
Remember, Seth? You know I really liked him in book one, and I don’t exactly hate in right now, but I sure am getting there. He best be bucking up his ideas in book three, or you are all going to hear about it in my review.
I am loving this story and most definitely looking forward to the next instalment. If you haven’t even started this series yet, well what you waiting for? You are going to be wanting more and more and yes more.
