Begin Your Journey With Forever Ours (Shattered Hearts, #1) Constructed By Cassia Leo Ready In Physical Edition
and Claire story was sweet and innocent, It was great to see how they navigated there separate life, While she was in high school and he dropped out so he can peruse his music career, . It was good to see how they worked their relationship, I can't wait to continue with there story, One of the most boring New Adult books I've ever read FREE on Amazon today ! Ok, this is my second Cassia Leo book and I will start off by saying it was much better than sitelinkAntiRomance.
Claire has been bounced around from foster home to foster home never really fitting in, Then she gets placed in the Knight house, Jackie Knight is unlike any other foster mom Claire has ever had she's kind, patient, and caring, Then there's Jackie's son, Chris, He doesn't seem to want to use her and genuinely seems interested in getting to know her, And soon the two find themselves sneaking around and hiding their relationship from his mother until Claire is of legal age, Then Chris's music career takes off and they are left to question where can they go from here,
So I liked the characters in this one, Claire, Chris, Jackie all were likeable and kept me reading, However, I had issues. Mainly, the time line. This book takes place over three years or so, that's a lot of ground to cover especially if the characters are just meeting for the first time at the beginning of the story.
So when Chris meets Claire, I'm guessing it's instalove, Cause by the next chapter they both have feelings they are trying to hide, And that's fine and all, but what was missing was the journey, They meet, then they're in love, Where's the in between We never got to see them fall in love, it was just there, Why was Chris drawn to her in the first place What made her interesting Why did she suddenly trust him We got none of this.
I blame the time jumping, The author obviously had a certain place where she wanted this book to end and spent the whole time just trying to get there.
So we jumped entire events such as the falling in love aspect, It all felt extremely rushed to me and I just didn't buy it, Too many important parts missed that we weren't allowed the time to get to know them and care about them,
I have the next book in this series and I will read it, Hopefully the author slows things down a bit and doesn't try to just get to the end, The journey is the most important part of a character driven story and I felt that was missed here, I really love Cassias writing style, Its got such an easy flow about it, I enjoyed Black Box so much that I wanted to read more by her, This was a great first book to this series that Ive also had on my kindle foreverrrrr! And Im rather enjoying discovering these old gems for the first time even though Im kicking myself for waiting so long.
Also, I love rockstar romances, And just like Black Box, this one is about a sexy musician as well, Hot damn, I love those talented broody guitarists, And Chris wasnt any different,
Claire and Chris meet atwhen she comes to live with him and his mom after being passed from foster home to foster home.
She moves in with the Knights and forges a bond with Chris that forever changes both their lives, We follow them through high school, record deals and then college,
I enjoyed watching them grow together, love each other though theyre young, they have a beautiful connection, But its not an easy road as Chris is on his way to stardom, Can their love survive across states I guess well see, as I didnt like how it ended but I know theres a lot more drama to come in the nextbooks.
Cant wait to jump on the next book
Like myself, a lot of you have probably already read the Shattered Heart series.
And you probably felt the same way as I did, It was such an amazing series, It was perfect. But now that Ive read Forever Ours, Wow. This takes this series to a whole new level,
You learn so much more about their story and come to appreciate the characters and sacrifices they made so much more.
For the people who have not read this series, I cannot speak highly enough about it,
In Forever Ours, the author takes you on a journey through the lives of two young people, A story of love, sadness, and sacrifices, It is so beautifully written, You will become more connected to the characters with each page you read, Youll laugh, youll cry. Youll become part of the story, The characters will become real to you, And it will leave you wanting more, And that, for me, is when you know you are reading something amazing,
Such a beautiful story, which I highly recommend, FOREVER OURS SHATTERED HEARTS.by CASSIA LEO
This book is a reintroduction to who Chris Knight is, Those who have read the rest of the Shattered Hearts series may at some point disliked Chris Knight and I think this book will help the reader for example, me get to know Chris Knight
before all the pain started and the stardom.
Also, we get to read the life Claire lived and how she found a home in Chris and his mom's house,
Shattered Hearts serie sis one of my faves and one of the best written series out there and this prequel is another beautiful story to add in the series.
I like that it showed how it all started and how the character in Chris amp Claire made sacrifices along the way.
They were teens but the love they felt during those years is genuine and true, Decisions made gave way to how the future mapped out and there were pain, guilt and regrets but love still found its way to where it really belongs and the rest is history.
Well, we are still waiting, I am still waiting for the rest of the story, This prequel is a mustread and you will sure love it,

This was such a sweet and enjoyable read, I know this is only the start of Chris and Claire's story so I don't mind that the book was short page count for kindle edition is.
Though I usually avoid short books, I wanted to start the series with the prequel, The flow of the story felt a bit hurried like a novella but again, I didn't mind since I considered it a brief glimpse into the MCs past.
I devoured Leo's other series, The Story of Us and I loved the angst factor in those books, I'm getting the same feeling with this one and I can't wait to dive deeper into the story, I'm hooked on Leo's writing, She makes it easy to connect with her characters, I find myself nodding my head or smiling often at their thoughts and dialogue because theyre so on point, Just like the hero from the other series, Chris was adorable, He had a way with words, He was fabulously witty and romantic, It's been a while since I've read YA romance because it's just not my thing anymore, I read this only because it's part of the MCs past and the rest of the books should be about their mid/late twenties.
But reading Forever Ours reminded me why I used to love YA,

Notes:
The book began when Chris amp Claire wereand ended when he turned,
No infidelity in this book,
ltltThe author includes clickable links to music videos within the chapters, Personally, I love music in books, If Im already enjoying a book, the music only heightens the feels, sitelink wordpress. co
I liked this book, It was okay. But. the timeline glossed over some real important parts in my opinion, And, I dont really understand what happened at the end, It was like everything that was built up over the course of two years was suddenly not good enough The consistency wasnt there for me and that is a huge deal in my rating of a book.
If it doesnt fit, I dont believe it, If I dont believe it, I loose interestfast,
And I just didnt buy it with this book, Sure the emotions they were feeling were there but it seemed to always go back to more of the same, I hate repetitiveness. It sucks the like right out of the book, Claire was very skittish in the beginning then all of the sudden she was fine, She had abandonment issues which, is to be expected, However, it kept coming back to that and I was like, “Come on, havent we dealt with this already Put up with it or shut up about it.
” There was nothing to look forward to for me in their relationship, No growth, nothing but more of the same,
Sorry, I will not be reading the next one, I needed more.Stars! I liked the initial premise for this book but the execution left a lot to be desired, The first person narration wasn't my favorite and both main characters drove me a bit nuts, I pretty much had to force myself to finish the story especially as it got clearer and clearer that this series is going to be set up to be a love triangle, one who got away sort of story.
With the past that was set up for Claire, her reactions and how quickly she got over things with Chris didn't make any sense.
Not to mention the fact that when they did have issues it seemed forced and formulaic instead of organically coming from the struggles of her past.
The clingy jealousy from both characters was just plain annoying, I listened to the audiobook of this one and I liked the story but the voice of Claire was all wrong it was fine when she was younger but as she got older it still irked me because she sounded like a child still and I could not take her seriously.
The story is likeable and worthy of a read I personally did not love it I considered giving up half way but I did want to find out what happened so that made me continue, good story I think if the voice had of been better I would have liked it a little bit more.

Let me begin by stating this book is a prequel, and it is book number four in the Shattered Hearts series.
I loved this series and experienced what I believe was an emotional transformation reading it, This fourth book solidifies the transformation that took place in my reading the other books, With that being said, I recommend that you do not read the rest of my review if you have not read the other books as their obviously would be a huge spoiler mentioned.
This is the beginning of Claire and Chris' story, We learn how the two come together, and the depth of their feelings for each other are revealed, I couldn't help but love Chris more with this story, I enjoyed everything about the firstpercent of the book, It was fun to go back and get more of this couple, What threw me though was the ending, I kept reading as the months passed waiting for something about a missed period, mention of a swollen belly, anything to suggest that Claire was actually pregnant.
I read a lot of books so at the end of this one I literally was scratching my head wonderingdo I have the right series She did give away their baby right
This book would have been astar book had that information been addressed but I sit here feeling somewhat disappointed.
Still love Cassia Leo and still a huge Chris fan and I am hoping we might get some more in an upcoming book.
