Babylon MC #5

Without Forever

Rate this book
Babylon is burning.

Loyalty is dying.

Trust has been extinguished.

Too many enemies are waiting at every turn, wanting the blood of The Hounds of Babylon MC and everyone they’ve ever loved. With nowhere left to run, Drew Tucker finally understands that the only way out of the war is to go through it.

Despite wanting to protect Ayda Hanagan with everything he has, Drew also knows that she, of all people, belongs by his side. He needs her with him in the midst of battle, holding on tight, right where he can protect her beautiful heart, her precious body, and their dreams of a peaceful future together—a future every man Drew has ever crossed now wants to destroy.

It all comes down to this.

To their passion.

To their ability to survive.

To their need to fight for a peaceful forever.

And their desire to hold onto the kind of love no amount of blood, tears, or death could ever break apart.

WITHOUT FOREVER... Releasing June 18th. Are you ready to say goodbye to Drew and Ayda?

Victoria L. James is a teenage girl stuck inside a thirty-something-year-old’s body. A Corona and nacho appreciator with a ridiculous obsession for all things Rocky Balboa, she currently lives in Yorkshire, England, with her husband and two baby boys. Having had a strong passion for words and stories going as far back as she can remember, she credits her love of literature to her Grandma Bess who taught her that you don’t need a lot of money to travel to different worlds, experience new places, and live a thousand lives.

AN MC LOVE STORY LIKE NO OTHER




Drew Tucker, Damn, just that name gives me tingles, from the very first book when we met Drew Tucker with his pent up anger, his bad ass ways and the cocky smirk you will either want to punch or kiss, this Bad boy MC president really grew on my heart. A typical Bad boy who turned good through the love of a good woman and what a story, what a journey it has been.

If there's one club that can endure the heartbreak and hardship this club has suffered in it's life time and come out the other side smiling it has to be The Hounds Of Babylon MC with it's President Drew Tucker and his old Lady Ayda.

THIS IS THE LAST STAND AND BOY DID THEY STAND.

Twists and turns, enemies, rivals, danger, death, grief, betrayal, worry, Drew tucker and his men have been through it all and in the midst of of this a love story that will leave you breathless.

The last fight, the survival of the fittest, and proof that love conquers all.

"No more goodbyes" I whispered to myself "Only good mornings"



This book cannot be read as a standalone and must be read in order. A brilliant collaboration with these two authors who have All the words. Looking forward to whatever Victoria L James or L.J Stock bring next.

Told in first person dual pov and leads to a hea

I cannot believe it, this book 5 the last book in the incredible, memorable and gripping series. Victoria James and Lou J Stock, ended this series with a bang. I started this journey, when my husband was diagnoses with ALS, this series means a lot to me, Victoria and Lou help me escape into this fictional world and I am able to forget. I am not sure what I will do after this, but I can assure you anything these 2 authors write I am clicking. I will forever be a Hound!! I will not give anything away because I am not spoiler so with that said, I will tell my feels.

I have watched Ayda and Drew grow throughout this series but in Without Forever, the authors show the characters, growth, and commitment not only in their relationship but for the brotherhood as well. Ayda and Drew’s faith in each other pours through the words and pages the authors deliver to readers. I adored Ayda through this series but in book 5, her character moved me beyond words. Ayda was fierce, loving, supportive and vulnerable when it came to Drew and the MC. She loved and respected her family and her man.

This is the conclusion and expect a lot of ugly crying, happy crying and WTF moments. In true Drew fashion, the man is dark, gritty and possessive. Drew, Drew, Drew he maybe be fictional but the man is real to me. I absolutely loved him before but in Without Forever, Drew was perfection personified.

Jiminy CRICKET I could not out this book down, I knew from the teasers Victoria and Lou shared I was going to be a bloody mess, and yes! Yes! I was but I was also ecstatic with the many oh’s and ah’s they threw into this last book. I swear every time I dive into a new chapter in this series, these authors are able to transport right there into the moment. I able to visualize and feel every emotion in a particular scene. It is the special attention to details with their words, setting and situation that held me captive. I hate to see this series end but I am glad with the how the authors decided to conclude it.

The give readers the ugly, the epic conclusion to the ongoing drama! The epilogue was AMAZE-Balls, I could not be more happy with how they gave a piece of the future leaving no question as to where Ayda, Drew and the rest of the MC will be. This series is one that I will reread and remember always, it is one of the types of books, its in the delivery and the continued growth I experienced in this series. There were no repetitions, each book in this series delivered something new and unforgettable.

Never in all my years of reading have I been as conflicted about reading a book as I was with this one. I desperately wanted to read but at the same time I knew this was the final book and I really didn’t want the series to end so I found myself opening and closing the book three times before I pulled on my big girl panties and started reading. Now I’m sitting here wishing I could go back and read it with fresh eyes again because this really is a spectacular ending to quite frankly my favourite book series ever.
In all honesty I should probably have just posted a picture of my tear streaked, snot filled, ugly cry face as my review because that sums up the emotions I went through reading this. Trust me when I say YOU WILL NEED TISSUES!
Every second of the book was well thought out, well written and so blooming perfect that I was sucked in completely. I will admit to taking a break at 50% in because honestly I was a little bit terrified and still struggling with not wanting to come to the end but I soon get back into it. There is so much beauty and pain in this story. The emotions seep from the page and slap you hard around the face yet Babylon and the Hounds hold you tight in their grip and make it so hard to walk away from.
I know this book/series will stay in my heart for a long time and I hope it will do the same for you when you read.
Oh and just so you know I’m still totes in love with Deeks ;)

I wish I could give this one 10 stars! I tried to put off reading this because I didn't want the story to end. I absolutely LOVED IT! Not many authors can tie up a series and cover every character and make me feel like the story is actually complete. I laughed out loud and a few tears fell, but it was 100%perfection.

Without Forever Review

Take me back to Babylon, where Drew Tucker is President of the Hounds, where Ayda is forever by his side, where the whores are part of the furniture and the boys are family.

Take me back to the start, let me relive this journey.

“I love you. Pull the trigger, darlin’”

We’ve watched Drew evolve from a broken, hard faced, unpredictable man, to a powerful, respected President of his MC.

Take me back to all the memories we have shared, the good, the bad, the terrifying and the downright ugly.

“If you can’t silence a problem, set fire to it, and then bathe in its ashes”

Take me back to the first meeting, to the brooding, to the betrayal, to the fights and flames.

Take me back to the tenderness and the love.

“I love you, darlin’, I’m sorry I failed you”

Please take me back to the beginning so I can do it all over again!

Without Forever was everything and more that a final book to a series should be.

The Hounds of Babylon have been through so much, could they survive the depth of hatred their enemies had for them. The scenes were written to convey fear and dread and I felt that to my very soul. The raw emotion written in to every word, hammered my nerves and settled in the pit of my stomach. It was like my own family were suffering and I shed real tears as if they were.

“Scars were being re-opened. Skin was being torn from my chest”

The twist the story took was one I would never have guessed and was more brutal and depraved than I could have imagined. Shocked I carried on praying for a resolution that would not end in further death and destruction.

“Tick tock, Tucker. Time’s a wastin’,”

I really do take my hat off to the authors for where their imagination can take us. It makes me wonder sometimes how these people got the lion’s share of pure talent.

Drew & Ayda were destined to be together, watching their story grow in to Forever has not always been easy but everything they have been through with the Hounds by their sides has made them who they are. There were moments of sheer bliss too and during these times it warmed my heart that they had found each other.

And right to the very end, when I thought there was nothing more that could shock me. James & Stock bloody did it again! I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!

“The King was back in his kingdom and it was time to reclaim his throne.”

I didn’t want it to end, I just wanted it to go on Forever! But it did end, and it was epic!

Take me back to the beginning, because what I wouldn’t give to do it all over again.

Congratulations James & Stock, your creativity blows me away each and every time and it’s an absolute honour to continue this journey with you.

And for everyone reading this review, if you do nothing else today, download this series now! You need to visit Babylon.

I don’t want to write this review because that means its over, we have to say goodbye to these characters. The characters that have consumed so many different elements of my life and honestly I feel like they are my family. I’m so attached to these characters and I can’t lie, I’m not ready to let go.

These characters take you on a journey, I won’t explain what happens in the book because it’d do a disservice, you need to experience, you will have moments where you’re cursing the authors, moments where you have to pause and take in the sadness, and moments where you smile. Every emotion that the characters feel, you will feel. It is not an easy series to read but I promise that it is worth it.

Drew and Ayda, alongside their family are worth the tears, the eye rolls and the laughter that will ensue as you read this book and the previous books. If you want a series that will consume you, make you want to be a part of their universe and for making you wish it wasn’t over yet, this is for you. For those who are already fans of these authors, you’ll love this book, for those who are newbies, read the first book in this series and I’m sure you’ll fall head over heels like I did. I acknowledge that I’m very invested in these characters. Do I regret it? No, it was the best decision I made. Thank you ladies for the journey of a lifetime, here is to the final part of a long journey. It was a hell of a ride!

It’s taken me a couple of days to get to the point where I could write this review. I have loved this series so much so the conclusion of it is bittersweet. Without Forever was the perfect conclusion to this series and Drew and Ayda are stronger than ever. But I was not ready (STILL NOT!!) to say goodbye to these characters.

“If you can’t silence a problem, set fire to it, and then bathe in its ashes.”

I was emotional and at some points during the story I was not sure I wanted to keep going because I was scared of what was coming. There were some breaks from my kindle so I could compose myself because I totally cried, but I immediately picked it back up because the story was so gripping and the characters were so perfectly done that I couldn’t stay away.

“Ride away. The battle isn’t here today. You can’t do this anymore without consequence. You cannot go to them without mercy and patience. You cannot fight this war without truth and knowledge. You cannot do this to Ayda without shame and regret. Drew, you can’t fucking do this alone without forever being different to her after its all over. Be careful which road you take. Everything has changed now.”

It’s definitely hard to say goodbye to the characters but it was so well done that I know I’ll be rereading this series over and over again.

“I like to see the fear in my enemy’s eyes before I pull the trigger. I like to dig their graves with my own bare hands. I like to pack that soil and dirt in real tight, stamp on it with my heavy boots and let Hell know I’ve sent another bastard its way. If I want to kill someone, I do it myself.”

If you haven’t started this series yet then do it today. The Hounds Of Babylon are everything!!! Now I’m off to mourn the ending of one of my favorite series ever.
June 18, 2019
What a way to end the series! This has to have been the best ride of life, Victoria L James and Lou J Stock really went all out for there last ever Book in the series and showed us the Hounds of Babylon we all love.

Ayda and Drew’s story will always fill a huge spot in my life, the journey I’ve traveled through out the whole series with them hurt so much at times I wasn’t sure I could continue but one thing will always stick with me is the love they shared for each other never wavered, the belief in one another never faltered and the trust they placed in each other was never broken and like the rest of the Hounds there loyalty to the MC family kept them strong when everything around then was turning to ash!

The talent these ladies posses to produce such amazing and addictive characters and stories shines through on ever my page, the anxiety and emotion the evoke with there words brought me to my knees and had my heart begging for mercy but like Drew Tucker I will never bow down and the reward was sweeter than I ever imagined it could be.

Well played ladies, well freaking played!!!

I cannot believe that we are saying goodbye to the HoB. This series is my all time favorite MC series ever and it's all thanks to Drew Tucker. Is he a good guy? Is the the ultimate bad boy? Yes.....to both.I fell in love with the cocky, arrogant, smart mouthed biker who solved all his problems with his fists. But like most men, show them the love of a good woman, and she'll change his world. And that's just what Ayda did.



"Pull the trigger, darlin'"


 Ayda really came in to her own in the series. In the final book, we really got to see just how she WAS the glue that held them together and Hut life would never be the same again. I think I liked her most in this book. Gone was the innocent girl who was trying to settle a debt to keep her brother out of trouble. In her place was a woman who was protective of her family. Who loved her man with every fiber of her being. And who would take down whoever threatened their happiness. She was born to be part of the Hound family, to be Drew's Queen.


"Torch it"


To be writing my final review for this series is bittersweet. I found Vic through an earlier work of hers, and this series introduced me to L.J. The highs, the lows, the heartbreak and tears...this book put me through all the emotions and I'm still not ready to say goodbye. The feeling of family that these authors created is something special. I feel just as strongly about each supporting character as I do the main ones. The ride we were taken on was a wild one and it is seared in to my heart forever. Without Forever was a perfect way to go out.


"One more round"


And p.s.......I need more Tate and the guys...spinoff? Pretty please???

Battle lines have been drawn and Drew shows that there is so much more to being a President than just the title. Difficult decisions must be made, and loyalties will be tested if the club is going to survive this latest attack together. Ayda’s strength and resilience shines through and she shows that she is the right person to be by Drew’s side and in his life.

Their relationship has faced so many challenges but rather than destroying them it has only made them strong. Drew has shown that Ayda is his world and that he would do anything for her, and she feels the same.

Filled with suspense, twists and so much emotion this epic conclusion will leave you on the edge of your seat until the last page. Although we are sad to see it end it definitely didn’t disappoint.
June 16, 2019
Wow just wow. I can't believe I've reached the end of this truly magnificent series.

I’m still sporting the biggest book / series hangover, having finished Without Forever & finally accepting that Drew & Ada have truly finished their most epic journey in such a breathing taking finale.

As I’ve come to expect from this writing duo, WF was crammed with tension, angst & spine tingling plot twists & turns that kept me glued to my kindle, afraid to blink & at some points even afraid to breathe. My heart & head didn’t know which way was up most of the time, but my soul, well that still hung on every word, every action that this pair lived, as the fought, cried & battled their way to an ending that almost ruined me.

Seriously, although I’m gutted to my core that the journey for this amazing couple is over, I feel it ended exactly as it was meant to. All my questions were answered, dreams were realised, new friendships forged & old ones strengthened. Bruises healed, hearts were full & forever finally FINALLY arrived.

This is one series that has already become a favourite re~read of mine & I know that isn’t going to change for a long time to come.

Finally I want to say, that for those that don’t naturally lean to MC, this book, this entire series is SO SO much than an MC read, It’s Family, Friendship, Loyalty, Love.. Forever AT ITS BEST.

Thank you for the ride, the heartache & the joy ladies. You did so damned good.

What an incredible ride! I have loved Drew Tucker, Ayda Hanigan and the Hounds of Babylon since the first book. Victoria L James and LJ Stock hit it out of the park with this final installment. It’s raw, gritty, highly emotional, suspenseful, touching and tender. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Drew’s evolution as a character. His dedication and loyalty is inspiring. The love he has for Ayda is so so beautiful! Their love story is hard to put in to words. They make you believe in soulmates. Without Forever is the perfect last book to an intense series and a MUST Read! I never wanted it to end.

Every so often a series comes along that you love and you start to devour the words, but that initial thrill doesn't last and you end up feeling a huge amount of disappointment. Well, that certainly can't be said about this series because each book gets better and better, culminating in the pure perfection that is Without Forever. Victoria and Lou have created a beautiful, gossamer web of words to tell this wonderful story. Finely crafted characters, carefully planned plots and beautifully written prose entice you and make you never want to leave. I felt a multitude of emotions reading this book - fear, love, anguish and sadness and I never wanted to put it down. This is a true love story, not just of Drew and Ayda but of a family and a community and while the series has reached its natural conclusion, I really wish we didn't have to go. A huge 5 stars and a thoroughly recommended series.

I cannot believe this is the final book in the series I dont think my heart can cope with Drew Tucker not in my life.

I was actually quite scared to start this as I wasnt sure where L.J. Stock and Victoria L. James were going to go with it. I wasnt disappointed in the slightest. Yes I cried and my heart was close to breaking but it was the perfect ending to an absolutely amazing series.

Well done ladies for yet another fantastic read. And here's hoping we get some spin off stories maybe from the other characters .

5 Epic Stars 🌟 What A Ride

When you’ve lived and grown with these characters through five books you feel like family too. You feel the all the emotions these characters go through.

Drew wants the perfect forever for him and Ayda but his enemies and the ATF have other plans. As Babylon burns there is no choice but to fight till the end. Victoria L. James and Lou J. Stock have an astounding ability to put you right in the midst of the battle for Babylon. I laughed, cried, held my breath, had my heart shattered and duct taped together again, but damn ladies what a ride it has been. Thank you for taking us along with you for it.

Drew, Ayda and The Hounds of Babylon will have a place in my heart FOREVER. 💜

OMG!!!! Victoria L James Lou Stocks.. you killed me!!! I honestly cant believe what happened!! Drew and Ayda have been through so, so much and they are a force to be reckoned with, no one crosses the hounds .. there were times I laughed, times I cried and times I held my breath. Once you start to read the series, you can not put it down.. from start to finish, the stories grip you like a hound grips life, hold on tight for the ride of your life!

Without Forever is book #5 and the “Final Ride” in The Babylon MC Series.

I’m going to start by saying this book cannot be read as a stand-alone, you have to start from the beginning and let me just say.....you will be hooked from page 1 Book #1 so grab these books and start your journey, one you will never forget.

Ok .... where was I ?
This review is so hard for me to write, no words can give this Book & Series the Justice it deserves. Victoria & Lou you absolutely blew my mind, your words are like gold, pure brilliance.

Forever is such an emotional mind blowing story it goes well with the old saying : “Save the best till last”
I actually found myself holding my breath during some parts where I also had to put this book down and Re Group, get my emotions and fears back on track. I cried , yes big ugly cries I didn’t want this book to end knowing it’s the final ride for my Drew and all the Hounds but then I kept pushing through my fears and tears to see how this will all end, ladies you definitely did not disappoint.

I still remember starting this series, I was told Val
I think you will love these MC books so I grabbed books 1&2 , which were both out at the time and dove in, well..... first page started my love to hate affair with the one and only Drew Tucker 🔥❤️.
I messaged Victoria and begged for more Drew yep I claimed that cocky, damaged, arrogant, bad a** biker as MINE . Watching Drew evolve through these stories and his relationship with Ayda and his MC brothers shows that blood isn’t always thicker than water, these guys have been through death, betrayal, and plenty of enemies who were bent on getting rid of them, and Drew carried all the weight on his shoulders as President with Ayda right there by his side being the light to his darkness.

I’m stopping here I’m not saying anything else because I don’t do spoilers and everyone needs to start this series ASAP so you can read this absolute masterpiece.

Vic & Lou you made my heart happy, although there were heart palpitations along the way lol,
you are both two extremely talented authors and your words flow perfectly together, thank
You so much for this amazing journey with the Hounds of Babylon ( especially my Drew) I can’t wait to read what you both have in store for us .

Without Forever
By Victoria L. James and L. J. Stock

“This was loyalty. Blood. Brotherhood. Family.”

Well....this is the end. The final ride through Babylon. I’m not going to lie, Without Forever was the hardest book for me to get through. As I read, I had way too many emotions firing through my mind and my heart. I was so excited to read this book, yet I was terrified to find out what happened. Victoria and L. J. have created the most amazing group of characters in the Babylon series. Each one is so important to the story, and they each seem to engrave themselves into your heart.

“The nerves fluttering away in my stomach were a feeling I’d never experienced before. This was real fear. I’d faced death, murder, prison, grief… everything the world could ever throw at me, and I’d never felt the weight of it like this before.”

Without Forever will have you dreading the end, but wishing for more, all at the same time. It will play on every emotion you can possibly experience, leaving you lost and confused, happy and hopeful, hot and bothered, and scared and nervous. You will curse the writers but love them. You will want to read the entire series over and over again, just to experience all that is the Hounds of Babylon.

“Waiting. My eyes were still crowded with tears. Waiting. My heart still full of hopelessness. Waiting. All I could do was wait. I was waiting for anything. News. Information. Pain. Torture. The end of the world as I knew it. I wouldn’t let anyone touch me. I couldn’t.”

Do yourself a favour, and read the entire series before reading the final instalment, Without Forever. Victoria and L. J.’s magical writing skills will set you up for the most epic finale.

Without Forever is the 5th book in the Babylon MC Series. I love when these two ladies get together to co-write a book!

You do need to read these books in order and here is the Reading order:

Without Consequence
Without Mercy
Without Truth
Without Shame
Without Forever

Well you have gone and done it to me again. I am an emotional mess after reading Without Forever! I cried sad tears and good tears. The ending was for me the most emotional part of them all.

Without Forever is more of Ayda and Drew’s story. I loved reading this series. Each book just got better and better with the final book being my favorite! This series has been going on since 2014 it is bittersweet to read the last book. I feel like I am closing the chapter on old friends.

We’ve all been there, found a series that you love, characters that you bond with, stories that grip you . What happens when you find out that the next book will be the last , you desperately want to read it, but on the other hand you don’t , as that will mean it’s all over.
Without Forever is book 5 in the wonderful Babylon MC series, and as with each of its predecessors this book will make you laugh, cry, take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, that will take you on the best ride ever.
What does the future hold for Drew & Ayda and the rest of the Hounds?
You will get every answer , but have a ton more questions.
Victoria L James & LJ Stock certainly have written a belter of a series, created a world that has gripped us all.
Ladies - you certainly saved the best till last!
Don’t hesitate to pick up your copy of Without Forever.

WOW! What an ending!!
I fell in love with the world/characters from the first book, the first words i read, and now it’s my favorite MC series ever!!
Victoria L James & LJ Stock have done an amazing job creating this world. I didn’t want it to end but I was so happy being back in Babylon with Drew, Ayda and the rest of the Hounds! Without Forever starts right off where it ended and it is an emotional roller coaster from start till the end....get your tissues ready, you’re gonna need them!!

So thank you again to Victoria L. James and LJ Stock for this beautifully written ending to this amazing series! I loved it so much!!

It would seriously take too long to list all the books but as this is a continuing story line, you MUST READ the Babylon MC series 1-4 FIRST AND IN ORDER before taking Without Forever on, or you won't understand crap, especially since this is the explosive conclusion! And this dynamic duo of authors definitely knows how to take their readers on one hell of a compelling journey that keeps us on the edge of our seat, while jonesing for more when each book is over. I want so much to go over what is going on, but that feels like spoilers in of itself to be honest since this is the continuing story of Drew and Ayda. There is so much going on that it felt like at times that it was hard to catch my breath, like I was actually in the story with everyone, going through the fires of hell with them, so yeah, I mean you can't go wrong with a story like that in the slightest. The twists were definitely bigger, so my f-bombs were louder, while the action was more intense which had me all kinds of jacked up & stressed out. And all questions are finally answered, although, it almost felt like there was room for stories about other members, like maybe the VP?! (hint hint) There was even some super cute humor that had my heart strings tugged on before all was said & done! I can't go on enough about this series, and the ride that I've been taken on, so if you haven't checked it out, get to one clicking at the beginning, if you're here, one click this EPIC ENDING IMMEDIATELY! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is a fantastic end to the Hounds of Babylon series. Victoria L James and L J Stock have excelled themselves and given us a frenetic story which felt like you were the back of one of the Hounds motorbikes and hanging on for dear life !
Over the five books I have laughed and cried while reading the exploits of Drew Tucker but in this book he really comes into his own and shows why he is the president of the MC . " Its what I was born to do . Who I was born to be "
He totally lives up to his position , shows us how smart and what a great tactician he is . We have seen his character develop slowly and now we really get to see who Drew Tucker really is. He shows such moral fortitude through out this book and literally fights to the death for Ayda and the Hounds. "It's my job to protect you. MINE."
We have also over the series seen a glimpse of his softer side with his interactions with Ayda but this time he finally puts his heart on his sleeve for all to see his love for her. We see him scared and excited for the future but for the first time he admits he wants his forever. Ayda has always been strong and supportive but now we see her up front and right by Drew's side helping him fight for what they believe in. Drew sums her up so well when he calls her the bright light in his darkness.
The authors follow Eric's philosophy by filling the story with distractions and misdirections but somehow they manage to
tie up all the loose ends and we finally find out who has done what, with some great surprises along the way.
All I can say is you need to read this series , it is a superb MC story but Drew and Ayda's love story builds and builds in each book until it takes over and explodes in this one and leaves you with a feel-good factor you won't forget in a hurry.

Without Forever, heck, the entire series has to be my favourite MC series ever! These authors have given Ayda and Drew the story they truly deserved.

This book is gripping and addicting. I was sucked into the Hound's world all over again and just completely took me out of the real world. We have brothers in arms, fighting for one another, standing for one another, and I loved it!

We have a broody and brilliant Drew in this book, which is just as much as an incentive to read. There is also Ayda, who is my wannabe spirit animal in the fictional world. What can I say other than that they are perfect for one another and truly deserve happiness.

The angst in this book is truly astonishing. You can feel it pouring from the pages. This book was an incredible way of concluding this series, and I am very sad to see it end. I mean, seriously what am I going to without the Babylon MC in my life? I'm already having withdrawals... *starts crying*.

This book was a pleasure and bittersweet; happy to see it get the ending it deserved, and so very sad to see it end. I hope we hear more from the Hounds in the future, and I can't wait to see what these authors have up their sleeves for us next.

10+ stars!!!

OH. MY. GOD!!!
That was so intense and so fucking beautiful!!
You know what I love about these authors together, their writing is just so effortless. You’ll never tell who wrote what because they bounce so well off each other and create a perfect flow for each story.

Without Forever has to be my favourite in the series. I felt everything!!!! The heart pounding, my soul shattering and of course I spent the last 6% of the bastard crying 🙄 Harry really messed me up😭😭😂😂

I think I have a massive lady boner for Eric (hello silver fox!!) Oh, Slater too 😍
Also.. Deeks is going to live forever! Infact they all are, in my head they’re staying at the health and age they are now. I can’t lose anymore of them 😂

I’m rambling, I’m drained and my emotions are scattered. I really put myself through the ringer re-reading from the beginning. I knew what it would do but it had to be done. Let me tell you... IT WAS SO SO FUCKING WORTH IT!! I would cry all the tears and sign my heart over every single time knowing I’ll reach Without Forever.

God what an adventure that series is. The conclusion to Drew and Ayda is everything’s I could have hoped for and more. Bravo ladies, bravo
