5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Happily ever after.
That was what we were supposed to have.
Pudding cups, sandy toes and a lifetime of making each and every one of our dreams come true—that is the future I’d promised her.
I could see it in my dreams, hold it in my hands, but then I watched as all of our hopes and wishes suddenly slipped through my fingers like sand.
I thought the worst was behind us, but what if we’d just delayed the inevitable?
They say love can overcome any obstacle. But can it survive death?
The breathtaking love story of Lailah and Jude concludes in Beyond These Walls.
Review
Jude and Lailah have been through more than couples twice their age have been through; Jude blaming himself for the death of his first girlfriend and Lailah needing major care and surgery to fix her heart but both managed to overcome and realised that they belonged together. Now it’s their HEA time and everything is going perfectly….until unexpected news throws them both off and Jude is terrified, once again, that he is going to lose Lailah.
“He was too good. I could spend a lifetime doing nothing but good deeds, and I’d never fully earn the love he believed I was worth. He thought I was the better half of the whole we’d created, but he was so incredibly wrong.”
I LOVED LOVED LOVED this story. I loved Jude and Lailah’s story in within these walls and I was so excited to see they were getting another. They are such a beautiful and strong couple, that I couldn’t wait to read their HEA…even if we had to go through some more tough times to get there finally!
“Lailah was my beacon. No matter how bleak life might get, how rough the waters might seem, I knew she’d always be there to safely guide me back home.”
Jude and Lailah are just as perfect together as they always have been. So beautiful, so strong and both so kind and sweet. They are one of my favourite book couples and I’ve always wanted them to get the HEA they deserve. It was brilliant reading what had happened after the first book and to get acquainted with all the other characters again.
“Every thrust reminded me that I was the luckiest man alive. Every kiss told me I was exactly where I was supposed to be, and every moan that escaped her lips echoed my heart that beat solely for her.”
It isn’t all plain sailing though, and again we have to cross our fingers, bite our nails and shout at our kindles that everything HAS to be okay because when you read these stories you will fall in love with them both and you just pray that these two go through no more heart ache.
“Love was eternal. Love was endless, and love would carry us through the storm to the other side—whatever it might be.”
I thoroughly recommend this and the previous book (which you need to have read) to all romance lovers out there. They are sad, beautiful, romantic and make your heart sigh. I wish I could read more and more of these two but hopefully we will be getting Jude’s brothers story soon!!
