My Review:

To read "Forever Fae" is to step into a breathtaking world we only wish excited. Magic, beauty,  love & envy envelop the reader as you find yourself being pulled deeper into this enchanting story. Calista (the Summer Court Princess) has been told she will forever change the Land of the Fae from the evil forces who wish to destroy it. Unbeknownst to her parents, Calista trains for battle with her best friend the handsome Merrick. He carries a secret in his heart, he's madly in love with Calista & trains with her to keep her close. The minute Calista sees Ryder (the Winter Court Prince) her heart is forever his. Dark, mysterious & seductive, Calista  can't help but fall for his charms. Merrick is none too happy when Ryder makes his intentions for Calista clear & the two begin to compete for her attention.  When these Calista & Ryder give into their whims, they find greater passion then they've ever known. Ryder isn't all he appears to be.... he's on a mission to rob Calista of her power in order to rule over all the Land of the Fae. Will Calista believe Ryder's love for her is pure, or will she ignore the burning passion she feels in order to save her kingdom?





What I thought:

OMG!! I loved this book!! It's such a beautiful story of love, trust & sacrifice. I loved each of theses characters, they were all so well rounded & unique. If you are a lover of all things Fae, "Forever Fae" is a MUST read!!! 5 out of 5 cowgirl hats!!




Excerpt:


“Ryder, I don’t know how or why it’s happening so fast, but my heart does feel like it belongs to you. When I saw you tonight, I felt it. The connection is there and I see it now, but what if it isn’t real?” I pull away from him to walk closer to the crystal blue water of the lake. 
 “Why wouldn’t it be real? It feels real to me,” he says while making his way toward me.  He’s coming closer to me and all I want to do is run into his arms and feel his body surround mine. That’s what my body is telling me, but how do I find out if that’s what my heart truly feels? 
Shrugging, I say, “I just think we might feel this way because of the prophecy.” Wrapping me in his arms again, he tilts my chin up so I have to look into his eyes. He’s worried and I can see the tension around the lines of his mouth. 
Shaking his head, he lets out an exasperated breath.
“Why are you trying to fight this, Calista? Whatever we feel is between me and you. No prophecy or any amount of magic is going to change the way I feel in my heart.” Cupping my face in his hands, he brings his face closer to mine so our foreheads lightly touch. 
Breathing lightly in my face, he whispers softly, “My heart tells me this is real, and if we can’t believe in our own hearts, then what can we believe in?”
