Summary: Interesting Premise
Review: Forever and Always is in many ways a natural progression for Deveraux. And the storyline was, as usual, interesting to read. However, I was a bit dissapointed in the book because in many ways it read like a chap book rather than a stand alone novel. Novels in a series should be interesting to read in themselves -- in many ways this was only interesting to read because of the book that came before and what we hope will come after. I must say though, if she drags this out indefinitly I probably won't bother finishing the series/chap book.

Summary: What was she thinking!!!!
Review: Let me start by stating that I have been a die-hard fan of Jude Deveraux for over 15 years. I've followed the Montgomery's, Taggart's and every other family/book that she has written. I purchased this book at the airport thinking that I had found the "perfect" book to read on the 4 hour flight from Chicago to San Francisco. I had more fun staring out the window (at night)than reading this book. Darci wasn't that great a character in the first book that she was featured in. And now there is a whole book that is basically dedicated to her. The only thing that I can say about the character of Lincoln Aimes is that he is Ms. Deveraux managed to cram just about every steroetype of the African American male into the character that she could uncaring father, sex crazed, etc.

Summary: I loved this book! How different and spellbinding!!
Review: Finally something different!! I couldn't put it down; read it from cover to cover in 1 day!! You have to be open minded and maybe even interested in New Age theories, to enjoy this book (I would imagine, anyway), but I can't wait to give this to several friends who I know will love it. It's not for everyone, but if you have the slightest interest in Psychics, Ghosts, Angels, Magic or magical journies, etc, this is the book for you. I've not read Forever, but I'm going to order it ASAP. I also can't wait to read the next book in this series!!! Way to go JD for being brave enough to write something different!!...

Summary: Forever and Always
Review: First off, I love to read Jude Deveraux and didn't think Forever was up to her standards. The sequel, Forever and Always, is the worst material I've read from her. I'm very disappointed in these two books and don't plan on going for the next one. The story line jumps around between Linc and Darci. Linc's character doesn't develop well and Darci is on a goose chase while having no real presence in the book. At least in Forever, she had a little zip and chemistry. I think Ms. Deveraux is trying to expand her writing and is excluding what made her exciting to read.

Summary: Deveraux at her worst
Review: I have been anxious to read this book since I first heard about it. Forever, the prequel, is one of my all-time favorite books.
For me, Forever is right up there with Harry Potter and Bridget Jones. That's how much I ADORED Forever. Forever and Always, however, is relly bad. That's really the only way to describe it. First, Adam and his sister have been kidnapped.... They are not in the story at all. That was upsetting, becasue Adam was a wonderful character. His dry sense of humor really made me laugh. I liked Darci, too, and watching she and Adam together was magical. Second, the plot...well, there really isn't a plot. I don't understand what Deveraux is trying to say in this book. I wish she had left my beloved Forever alone. She's almost ruined the characters.

Summary: Loved It!
Review: When I read Forever... I was a bit disappointed because it moved so quickly and Jude didn't really develope the characters the way she usually does. Not to mention the ending that just kind of left you going "that's all?" Well if I had known that it was merely the begining of a very complex and involved series I might not have felt so deprived. In Forever and Always we meet Darci again. Now, a lot of readers didn't like her in the first book but I thought she was adorable. I loved how she was in her own little innocent universe, and so child-like. Well now, years later, she's not so childish anymore after of all the pain she has recently been through. Adam is missing, but I'm not even going to get into that..... Darci soon joins up with Linc to help him find his son who, like Adam, has vanished. The relationship between Darci and Linc is highly amusing and very erotic though completely platonic of course. Jude wrote the book in the first person with the chapters alternating back and forth between Darci's point of view and Linc's. I liked this because it made me feel like I understood them better, and also kept me laughing at the way each characters mind worked. Now much like Forever there are many supernatual things that occur and stuff that doesnt get explained, though I have hopes that all of it will tie together by the end of the series. Even though Darci is the heroine of the series the star of this book is Linc. I loved him, and I hope he's in the next books as well or maybe even his own book. The ending let's you know just how complex everything will get before the Forever Series will end, and leaves you eager for the next book. To make matters worse there is a preview for the third book in the back, which only serves to confuse you even more then you already were. I hope you enjoy!!

Summary: I Loved it!
Review: I loved the followup novel to Forever and can't wait to read the 3rd book! I hope Jude plans on writing addtional books featuring more on Boadicia as well as Bo's and Darci's children!Jude has a wonderful imagination! I think her characters are wonderful and loved the cliff-hanger ending, leaving us wanting more!

Summary: Forever Trilogy
Review: I can't believe I am going to say this, but I actually want to burn these books. This is the worst trilogy I have ever read. I have read books by Jude D. before and that is why I bought the Forever Trilogy. These books have to be the worst I have ever read. I feel like a child saying this, but they are dumb. Save your time & money.
