We Said Forever Kindle Edition


Second chances are meant only for those that deserve them. Love isn’t enough to heal when you’ve shattered a heart. Love isn’t enough to make you forget. Love isn’t enough to make you look back when you’re supposed to be moving forward. Love just—isn’t enough. I broke Fallyn McIntyre, and in doing so I broke myself. Betrayal, addiction, and years separate us. I’m no longer the man I used to be. But I’m still not sure I’m man enough.

    Completely amazing book. I loved it.. read it in one sitting couldn't put it down. Real raw lives issues. Omg!!!! Two college students meet at a new years eve party. Blaze and fallyn. Blaze knows from the first moment that she's all he needs in life aside from being the quarterback on his college team. He's hot and every girl's wants him including fallyn except she won't let him know it. She fights demons from her past and tries changing her life so she pretty much keeps to herself and studies. Her friend and roommate forces her to go to the party that will change her life forever. After trying to push blaze away she gives up knowing full well that she don't want to push him away. He's fighting demons in his past as well. Born to two junkies he works hard to get away from that life and football is what gets him out with a full ride to college. After a month of dating they get married and life comes into play which neither were ready for. At their wedding party some vindictive chick secretly drugs all the players blaze included and while driving they end up in an accident and at the hospital is where he finds out he was drugged although the cops don't believe him and arrest him leaving his new wife alone in the hospital on their wedding night. This is were life takes a turn. The accident took away his chances of playing again and with that his pro ball career he was working towards. So with a hurt shoulder and everyone thinking he's on heroin he's no longer on top of the world. He gets hooked on the pain pills and ends up failing a drug test during his probation meeting which sends him to jail for the remainder of his 6 month sentence. Fallyn stands by him but he's so messed up on pills he pushes her away so he don't have to see the look in her eyes... hurt.pain.disappoimtment. when he's finally released she's happy and scared. He tells her he's clean which is a total lie. He just can't shake the pills. She discovers them the same time she discovers she's pregnant. When he comes home from pretending to be job hunting and needing his pills he finds that he wife has found them and finally admitting that he needs the pills more then her he leaves never knowing he's also leaving his baby. Fallyn is scared of being a single mom. She's also a mess at what come of her husband and their life. All the broken promises. She meets a guy at a coffee shop and becomes friends with him informing him that's all it will ever be because she's married. He still let's her know he wants her but don't cross the line. Blaze is in a program and almost 60 days clean. He wants his wife back and was planning in the few days that he'd get his 60 day chip to go and get her back and not let anything stop him until he sees his pregnant wife with a man who's holding her belly and kissing her head. He never got that 60 day chip he went of the wagon immediately. He's an even worse junkie then ever even back with his father whose he's hated his entire life. He's dirty and skinny and gross. It's now months since seeing his wife with another man although he's stalked her and has watched from afar and dives further into drugs and now it's pills and coke. Fallyn has their son, who looks just like his father. Fallyn ends up alone again when the friend passes the line and kisses her. She tells him to stop and that she'll never feel that way for him. She still wears her wedding ring and says that her heart only for her husband. Outside one day on his way to score he bumps into fallyn and her son only he takes one look at him and knows he's the father. She tells him to stay away. A few days later he sets out to fix his life once and for all. Two years later he shows up on her doorstep. What happens? Will she shut the door on him or open it wide? Is he clean or still a junkie? This book will tear at your heart strings. This is a real life relatable work of art. Get this book you won't be sorry!!!

    Oh boy!! Here we go again!! To dive into an amazing story for sure, because coming from this author I wouldn't expect less.
    I had loved every book from Her and I can affirm that I will love this one without even reading it, so you can guess that I really, really love her writing.
    Marie James has an simple yet intense writing that can put you into tears with a flick of a page but can put you hot as hell. The way she describes every scene makes us live the story with an intensity that will leave you breathless.
    We Said Forever focused on the lives of Fallyn and Blaze.
    Fallyn is a college student that wants to be left alone, to study, to be happy away from parties and booze. She only wants to succeed in school and live and for that to happen she can't loose time with boys or random sex. Although she can't take the mysterious guy that kissed her at a party out of her head.
    Blaze is the start football player of the University team. He loves this sport and wants to be the best. He's cocky as hell and very sure of himself, mainly because is childhood was raw, full of pain. He was neglected by his drug addict mom and abandoned by his dad. He needed to stay away from that life and football was his way out. He just wants one night stands and that's it, but after one kiss at a party he can't take this girl from his head.
    Can we make a big big mistake and be forgiven? Can it be forgotten? Can we take love for granted?
    What a rollercoaster of emotions this book was. The ups and downs left me with my anxiety levels super high but it was worth it. I wouldn't expect less from this amazing author. Every book that she writes get me hooked.
    The love and betrayal are hand in hand, but forgiveness is there too. She approached a well known subject that even if we want to ignore it, we can find it right across the street. We have some hot scenes too that will hook you up. I'm at a loss of words to describe the way I felt once this book ended but after thinking about it for a while the only word that occurs is breathtaking.
    Thank you Marie James for another amazing book. Can't wait to see what you're writting next.

    This book ... completely blew me away.
    So many honest feelings and realistic characters packed into one story, that you can't help but get completely drawn into their lives and all the heartbreak that comes with it.
    Wishing and hoping for that HEA that the two main characters deserve ... And thankfully get.

    Must read!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 20, 2017

    This is the first book I have read by Marie James and I absolutely loved it. It was written extremely well and the story flowed beautifully.

    Blaze grew up in a house of addicts, his Mum and Dad both high most of the time, he swore he would never end up like them; so he worked hard and earned a football scholarship and eventually he became the star quarterback for his team. Life was good, lots of woman hanging off his every word, parties, booze - life couldn't get much better - or so he thought.
    When at a party one night celebrating a big win for the team he see's Fallyn and for him it's an OMG moment, he wants her and although they share a dance and a kiss - she walks away at the end of the night. Blaze can't stop thinking about her and he makes it his mission to find her and wear her down.
    Fallyn is not all that impressed by football players and all they stand for, she is studying hard and doesn't want any distraction of the Blaze sort even though that one kiss they shared gave her butterflies in her stomach, she puts him to the back of her mind. But Blaze is relentless, and that leads to the one night where everything changes in both their lives. A split second decision made; an endless stream of tears and anger.

    This story is about their relationship - but it is so much more and you will have to read this book to experience the highs and the lows and all the emotions that come with a new relationship.

    This book was difficult to read because it was gut wrenching, sad, but full of hope as well. I loved both lead characters they were so well written, and at times so bloody frustrating to read, especially Blaze. My god that man, I wanted to squeeze him tight and never let him go and then in the next chapter I would want to beat some sense into him, my heart was all over the place. I hated him, I loved him - I was back and forth like a yo yo.
    Fallyn so strong, so forgiving, so loyal she was an absolute delight to read and get to know, I bonded with her straight away and my admiration for her only grew the further the book progressed.

    Wonderful storytelling at it's best and yes your heart will go through he ringer, sometime it will sore high, sometimes sink like a heavy stone thrown into a lake but isn't that what the best books do - take us on a roller coaster ride that we will long sit and think about way after the story finishes and what a fabulous book this is.

    We Said Forever was a real, raw, and so gut wrenching read. The story flows really well, mixed with emotions and the twists and turns that will keep you enthralled from beginning to end. Blaze and Fallyn said FOREVER, but they had some obstacles to deal with before they could get there. I felt every emotion they did and it left me an emotional mess. This is a must read!!
