FIRST & FOREVER Synopsis: 


Ever wonder what Levi was thinking in FLIGHT? Find out in the two Levi POV novellas FIRST & FOREVER. This combined edition includes both FIRST (previously released) and FOREVER, a brand new novella.This edition also includes the bonus short story: The Royal Wedding.

FIRST
Levi's got it all. He's a paranormal prince with more money and power than he knows what to do with, but something is missing—a mate. He only has until college graduation to find her. Allie's perfect but she wants nothing to do with him. When attraction becomes something more, will he take a chance and show her who he really is or will he lose everything?

FOREVER
Levi's almost out of time. Allie's the one, he knows it in every grain of his being, but how can he make her see it? Desperate to keep Allie safe and at his side, he takes the biggest risk of his life. Reckless or not there is nothing he wouldn't do to keep her with him... forever.
We walked off into the darkness, and I held her hand firmly in my own. I’d never been a big hand holder, but it’s like I needed to have hers in mine. I needed to touch her constantly, and I wanted her to know she was always safe with me—even if I was far from safe to most anyone else.
She tugged on my hand, and I gladly followed her down closer to the water.
She took in another deep breath. “There is nothing like the beach at night.”
“You like it at night, too? I was worried you wouldn’t like it without the sun.” I wondered if I was unique in craving the quiet shadows of the dark beach.
“I like the beach during the day, but I love it at night. There is just something about listening to the waves in the darkness and the soft glow of the stars reflecting off the water.”
“Yeah. It’s nice.” I moved behind her, and she leaned into me. We stood that way for several minutes before I turned her to look at me.
She looked like a dream standing there in the glimmering of the moonlight. I studied her face, looking for a sign that she was something more than the beautiful human that had attracted me from the moment we met. Every part of me knew how significant she was to me, but I wanted more proof. “You’re so beautiful. So unbelievably beautiful…” I trailed off as my lips gave in to what they had wanted to do all day.

I only sometimes comment on my own cover reveal posts and I couldn't resist saying something about this cover. HOLY MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS GOOD. Please excuse me for a (long) minute while I stare longingly at the perfection of this cover and drool absently. Seriously. I love the dark colors with the electric blue and the little bit of white they used. Love the font and colors for the text/title. Oh - and the eye candy dominantly featured? YES PLEASE. He is so smoking hot I think my eyeballs just caught fire. The sheer perfection of him added with the black wings and the cool background? Does he come with the book? Please?! *sigh* I'm done gushing. I'm now going to discreetly set this cover as my new background so I can see it every waking moment of my day - and probably get absolutely nothing accomplished now. *continues to drool*

SO - What do you think of this cover?? Leave a comment!

Michelle moved her arms and stood up straighter. “Yes, and I definitely get why you chose her. She’s amazing.” She gave me the biggest, fakest smile.
The forced nature of it didn’t go unnoticed by Levi. “Good. As nice as it is to see you, I’m going to be taking Allie now. We’ve got some plans of our own.”
I groaned internally. I tried to help and, of course, he had to take advantage of it. “Before we go, let me make sure my friends don’t mind.”
“We don’t mind at all,” Anne said immediately. “Go have fun.” She winked at me.
“If you want to go, we understand.” Tiffany was trying to figure out what I wanted her to say.
“Yeah, go ahead.” Hailey grinned. She was in so much trouble.
“Bye, Michelle. Great meeting you.” I let Levi lead me to the front door.
“You guys staying?” Levi asked his friends.
“Yeah.” Jared was eyeing Tiffany.
“Okay, but remember the rules,” I warned him. Tiffany was too sweet of a girl to have to deal with Jared.
He glared at me. “Yes, how could I forget?”
Levi led us off the porch and away from the house.
“Nice kiss.”
“You know why I did it.” I looked up at the perfectly crescent moon.
“Do I?”
He traced a line down my arm.
“Of course. Michelle would have told your dad if she thought something was up. Why would it mean anything else?”
“A chaste kiss could have accomplished the same thing. That wasn’t chaste—your tongue was in my mouth, Al.”
“Are you complaining?”
“Hell no. I happen to like your tongue… and the rest of you.” His eyes let me know exactly what he was implying.

Book Description:

Sometimes you just have to take flight.

A summer in New Orleans is exactly what Allie needs before starting college. Accepting her dad’s invitation to work at his hotel offers an escape from her ex-boyfriend and the chance to spend the summer with her best friend. Meeting a guy is the last thing on her mind—until she sees Levi.

Closing my eyes, I tried to block it all out. Convinced I was about to die, I was only partly aware of his arms around me.

“You said you wanted an adventure,” he said quietly, teasingly, as he tightened his hold.

My stomach dropped out as an intense and complete feeling of weightlessness engulfed me. The wind stung my face as memories flooded my mind. I thought of my parents, of all the things I wanted to tell them but never did, my friends from home, and the experiences I longed for. Quickly my thoughts changed to more recent memories, to Levi.

“Open your eyes,” he whispered, somehow knowing my eyes were clenched shut.

Against my better judgment, I listened. The scream died in my throat as we hurtled toward the water that had seemed so beautiful from the roof above. 


Review:

Flight is the first book in a brand new Mature YA paranormal romance series. The story follows Allie, who is visiting New Orleans to work at her father's hotel for the summer before starting college. While in New Orleans, Allie meets the obnoxious yet intriguing Levi. There is an instant attraction between them, but Levi is definitely hiding something from Allie. His secrets are more than she could ever have imagined and it turns out that her life will never be the same again.

I really enjoyed this book! The paranormal genre doesn't get much new subject matter very often, but the author gives us just that with her new breed of paranormal beings. I loved the uniqueness and the fresh voice that this novel brings to the genre. The plot is really interesting and moves at a good pace. I found the characters to be honest and realistic - if a bit annoying and flaky at times. The romance between Allie and Levi was cheesy during parts of the book, but mostly it was deliciously steamy and exciting. 

The book was really well written and I loved every bit of it. The ending left me wanting more - I definitely wasn't ready for the book to end yet. It doesn't leave too much of an open ending, but leaves you wishing for the next installment to come out now. I am very excited to see where this series goes and am now eagerly awaiting the second book to come out. Highly recommended!!
