Forever Logan
Once upon a time…
A sister told her brothers, “Eventually, a girl is going to come along and flip your worlds upside down.”
She was right…
...and Logan was the second to fall.
From the instant Logan locked eyes on Ally, he knew she was the one.

Lucky for Logan, his twin brother is getting married to Ally’s best friend, and as the best man, Logan is determined to make good use of planning the wedding to his advantage…especially with Ally being the maid of honor.
It’s tough, trying to make her fall in love with him when all they do is argue, but slowly, Logan begins to show Ally his worth.
Eventually, things between them begin to heat up…and the lust quickly accelerates into something deeper.
But will Logan always need to prove himself to Ally because of his past, or will he ruin everything with one stupid bet?

Forever Logan by Elena Matthews is book Two in the Once Upon a Player Series. This is the story of Logan and Ally. I haven't yet read the previous book, so for me this was a standalone book. Logan was the ultimate playboy until he meets Ally. But his path to getting her isn't a easy one as they seem to go between a love hate to friends but Logan doesn't stop trying to win her over. This book does hook you in pretty quickly and keeps you wanting to turn the pages. I really enjoyed it and will be looking for more books by this author.

A fantastic enemies to lovers story!
Ally is the woman of Officer Logan Jensen's dreams. Ally turns his world upside down with her fiesty temper and epic eye rolls!
Unfortunately for Logan, Ally hates him....or does she?
These two live to annoy each other, but secretly love it!
Can Ally trust the player who could possibly be her forever love?
Can Logan prove to Ally that she's the only one for him?
This is a short read that is fun and highly entertaining!
The bickering banter between Ally and Logan is hilarious. Also, I have to say that the interactions with Ally's parents and Logan are pure comedic gold!
I found the chemistry between Ally and Logan to be explosive and mind blowing! Whew...Super hot sexy times!
Forever Logan is my first read from author Elena Matthews and will certainly not be my last! I enjoyed reading this book and would definitely recommend it to others!

Wow Elena has done it again, this story is amazing!! I love her books so much and I’m so grateful she let me have an arc to read early. It’s so awesome that she has created this family and is telling us all their stories. Her stories make me laugh, make me swoon and even bring tears to my eyes. That bar scene is one of my favorite scenes out of any book I’ve read!!! I loved it so much, just like I loved this story. I can’t wait to see what Elena writes next!

If there is ever a world to where I would have to choose only a certain amount of authors to read from for the rest of my life, this author would be one. I am very particular about my likes and dislikes, so for me to even say that, says how much I love this authors imagination that she so graciously shares with this world. I mean it's almost like someone hitting me upside the head with a frying pan. I was completely enraptured with Logans story. I read word for word, paragraph after paragraph, page after page, and if you want total honesty, I went back and reread most of it because I COULD NOT GET ENOUGH.
Okay, now onto the logistics of why I loved Forever Logan so hard. I mean there wasn't one thing I didn't love, but you get the point. Again, I must mention the amazing story telling by this author. I couldn't get enough. With that said and in general, the entirety of this book was done with great world building. The development is easily classified as flawless. The depth was done with great care and also filled with some of the best witty banter and dialogue that only an amazing Enemies To Lovers could have. Everything including the pace flowed with the precision of a stream of water. Now on to my my most favorite part. The intimacy. When I say that, I am not only meaning the sexy times, but the intimacy that only two people that connect on a different level could have. Don't get me wrong, this author writes bomb sexy times which felt more personal and intimate because of how Matthews not only had them in the horizontal position. If you want to know more in that aspect I suggest you read it. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Logan, Logan, Logan. If I could wrap him up and keep him to myself, I would. He is everything and more. He is passionate and kind. Patient, and understanding. A go getter that will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He is hilarious as well.
Ally is a force to be reckoned with. She is sassy, but loyal. She gives as good as she gets, and can make a man weep with her quick wit.
This book is fantastic and I can not wait to read more from this author!

I found the book to be engaging and very entertaining with some bantering, humorous laugh out loud and fun moments and it held my attention the end.
Logan the arrogant playboy finally meets his match. Ally is so not impressed by his player persona and reputation, and even his hotness, in uniform can sway her. Logan is determined not to give up and since she is in the wedding party of his twin brother, he intents to use every chance he gets to convince her to give him a chance. I loved how he had to work for her attention but it took her a frustrating long time to learn to trust him. The author did an amazing job highlighting and describing the emotions and feelings between them and their growing attraction to each other. Well written and a must read.

Logan was enchanted by Ally from their first meeting however she is not impressed by his playboy ways or his charm. He know she is special so when he has the opportunity to spend time together due to the upcoming wedding of his brother and her best friend he is determined to show her that he is a one woman man now that he has met the right woman.
Ally has been burnt by love in the past and isn’t about to give her heart to another man only to have it end in pain. She is well aware of Logan’s reputation with woman so although her head tells her to keep her distance her heart doesn’t appear to be listening.
The banter between them is humorous, the chemistry hot and although Ally is cautious when Logan shows the man he truly is it enough to make you swoon.

Forever Logan was such a great story that was very addictive so once I started it, I couldn't do anything else until I saw how it all played out. Logan was a big player until he met Ally, who threw his world into chaos in the very best of ways. However, he ended up making some questionable decisions, and now she hates him. Don't count Logan out though, because his twin is getting married, and Ally is part of the wedding so he's determined not to squander this chance to make her his. Their chemistry was so lethal that it felt like the sparks were shooting out of my kindle, but before that chemistry won't be denied, their interactions were very entertaining, even when I wanted to throat punch him between the laughing. These days, books are my escape, and the amazing Elena Matthews certainly helped out with her newest release, and I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

Elena has done it again with this latest book in the series! This story is about Logan, Nate's twin brother, and Remi's best friend Alli.
The chemistry between these two characters was off the charts! I couldn't even go to bed at a decent hour because I had to know what happened next! There were comedic moments, moments when I shed a tear, and moments when I wanted to hit Logan over the head. But then, then there were the hearts and flowers swoony feeling that overcame me when I read how much in love these two characters were with each other, and that no matter what, they were going to survive whatever was thrown their way.
I can't wait for the next book in this series!

Forever Logan is the 2nd book in the Once Upon a Player collection from Elena Matthews and Logan is twice the hotness. He’s a hero. He saved Ally and Remi from that fire and took out the a-hole who caused it all. Logan’s reputation of being a bonafide playboy has met its demise as the beautiful Ally consumes his every thought. They have this love-hate banter that never ends and it only gets worse, or better, as their best man/maid of honor responsibilities take over while helping Nate and Remi wedding plan. Can the fake hate facade continue or will the truth prevail?

The long awaited story about Logan - Nate’s twin brother. I enjoyed these two characters even though you would never think these two characters would be together. All that bickering!
These two start off as enemies who are kinda friends then move to friends who are in a relationship who don’t tell there friends and family to nothing.
Poor Logan!
Logan is soooo in love with her...

This enemies to lovers romance certainly kept me on my toes and turning pages. The level of sexual tension between Logan and Ally is insane. I kept turning the pages wondering will they or won’t they. Will Logan’s mouth get him in trouble if they finally give into their attraction? These two had me laughing and fanning myself with each encounter. You do not want to miss out on this story!!

He thought he was going to be a bonafide playboy for life but the minute he saw Ally he was smitten, but she's not charmed or swayed by Logan's rep.
This was a fun read, with witty water, sizzling chemistry, and a swoony romance.

This was such a cute story! Logan has always had an easy time with the ladies and has set his sights on Ally. She knows he is a player and wants nothing to do with him. He really had to work for any positive attention from her. I enjoyed the push and pull of their relationship.
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Well done ❤️

September 18, 2020I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Logan was a man that she loved to hate. He was everything she didn't want until she did. Ally was a woman that Logan never knew he needed. He never saw her coming until she she was right there. They have a love story that almost ended too soon. For all his faults, he really is a great guy. Ally has to trust him for who he is now not who he used to be before her. I look forward to the third book in this series

This Book 2 in the Once Upon a Player Series is really a wonderfully well-written story. The story has an alpha Male who was once a ladys man and a woman who he has to work for. This is a steamy, emotional and intriguing story. The well-crafted characters have a wonderful chemistry between them and is a realistic romance that has to be worked for. Their romance is a really hot with a lot of ups and downs. Loved it. A must rea

Logan is a arrogant a$$. He’s also a cop who’s fallen for Ally, who will have nothing to do with him. When Logan catches Ally’s boyfriend cheating, he tells her. That turns the deck to his favor and a love ensues. When a misunderstanding takes place, she dumps him like last nights Chinese and walks away. He is heartbroken but toughs it out when he has to see her at his twins wedding.
Opinion
At first, I couldn’t get past what a jerk Logan was. He made fun of Ally’s boyfriends profession, a kindergarten teacher. Being a teacher myself, I bristled at that. As the book progressed, I saw how faithful and in love with Ally that Logan was and I was sold on him.
Ally didn’t want to trust him and I got that at first. But as time went on, I wanted to scream at her. Even though they eventually worked it out, I was irritated with her.
Overall, the book is great. It drew lots of emotions from me, including laughter. It is book two in a series and I haven’t read book one. It can be read as a stand-alone.
Many thanks to Bare Naked Words for providing me with an ARC of this book.

This was a fun, sexy read. Logan & Ally's constant bickering was straight up foreplay, with many humorous interludes.
I liked that Ally was feisty and sassy, and that Logan loved her attitude from day one, instead of trying to tone her down. Even where she could easily have become a victim, she came out swinging. I loved Logan! He knew who he wanted, and he made sure that she knew it, too, and never tried to make excuses. His honesty was a great part of why I enjoyed the book so much.
I recommend this book. Elena Matthews is a new-to-me author, but I definitely will read more of her work.

Enjoyed this story but was annoyed by Ally a lot of the time. Why was she fighting her feelings for Logan by pretending she hated him. Yes, he was arrogant and liked to rile her up, but she also was always so quick to give it back to him. And when she finds out about the bet?! It was just a ridiculous thing that happened between brothers. Logan didn’t even remember it. As soon as I read that part about the bet I thought “this is going to come back and bite him on the ass.” And it did. Logan obviously was crazy about Ally, but she just wanted to push him away. Even her parents liked him and told him to keep trying with her. He shouldn’t have had to prove so hard to her that he had changed. He said he loved her and that she was the only one for him and she should have accepted it.
April 4, 2021
This was my first book from this author and I enjoyed it very much. I totally fell in love with Logan. He was more than what everyone saw him as. Ally needed a smack upside the head but I’m glad she finally wised up to see what a wonderful guy Logan was. Can’t wait for Blake’s book.
