Book: Forever More (The Evermore Series, Book 2)
By Rachel De Lune
Genre: Erotic Romance
Synopsis
What if you had everything you wanted within your grasp, but let it go?
Isabel Fields stands on the brink of a new life. She has the Dominant/submissive relationship she craves with the man she loves, but her past continues to haunt her.
With Isabel, Sebastian York can release the sexual Dominant he’d always tempered. He doesn’t intend to let her go, even when she bolts in panic. Together, both could experience the freedom to explore their relationship and sides of themselves previously stifled.
Their love is tested when issues of trust rising from Izzy’s past marriage and her damaged heart take their toll. They may have fallen in love, but that doesn’t guarantee it will be forever more.
Izzy and Seb have two choices: grow stronger together or be pulled apart by the past.
I thought the author did a great job of telling the story and helping me as a reader visualize exactly what was happening.
4 out of 5 stars
The sequel to this story was better than the first book. I already knew that I wanted Seb & Izzy to end up together, but I wasn’t sure how Izzy was going to deal with things. She went from being trapped in a loveless marriage to depending on Seb’s guidance so I was worried she would never stand on her own feet.
This book started out with a lot more honesty than the first. Yes, she was still cheating on her husband, but she is filing for divorce and they have both admitted to wanting more than just the D/s sexual arrangement. This novel had a little more drama in it, but it was just about perfect that way. Seb was able to really show Izzy that he wanted her and not just as a submissive. Izzy was able to grow with the help of not only Seb, but also her best friend Jess.
In fact, one of my favorite scenes in the book was when Jess met with Seb without Izzy even knowing about it. Both of them really shed some light on their relationships with Izzy and the love was definitely obvious!

Excerpt
I sense Seb behind me. Just being near him sends a low pulse of current over my skin, making me hot with desire. His hand gently sweeps my hair to one side as he plants soft kisses on my neck. “I’ll turn the heat up. You’ve got far too many clothes on for my liking, Izzy.”
He moves away from me but I remain still. We’ve never been together as just us, without the pretence of exploring my sexuality. Will it be the same?
“Why are you still standing there, sweetheart?” He turns me to face him and his eyes are dark, filled with blues and greens.
“I… I wasn’t sure.”
“Oh, sweet girl. I want you naked beneath me, and if you don’t hurry up and start taking clothes off…” he pauses to run his finger down the centre of my chest to the top of my jeans, “… I’m going to strip you myself.” My breath catches at his words, and the familiar ache at the bottom of my stomach makes me want to squirm. I run my palms up his chest and rest them on his shoulders.
“As you wish.” I smile with my eyes, and it sparks the reaction I want. Seb pulls off my jumper and unbuttons my shirt. He peels it from my shoulders to my wrists, restraining my arms behind me. His hands move quickly, fulfilling his threat to strip me. He picks me up, carries me to the bed and pushes me back so he can pull my jeans and knickers off. I start to struggle to free my arms but he’s not undone the buttons at my shirt cuffs and I can’t free my hands.
“I wanted you naked, but seeing you like this, Izzy… Keep the shirt on.”

SYNOPSIS
Miserable and dejected in her marriage, Isabel Fields encounters a stranger in a bar promising an opportunity to change her life. Nonetheless, she must make a decision she thought was reserved for other women.
Sexual dominant, Sebastian York, specializes in igniting passion in his lovers, but women always come and go, and he’s never had a woman to call his own.
Leading Izzy, a natural submissive, on a journey of sexual awakening, their casual arrangement soon grows too confining. Seb satisfies everything Izzy has craved and she instinctively bows to his dominant personality, fulfilling his every desire.
Their casual arrangement ignites Isabel’s long-buried passion and touches her heart, but Izzy struggles with the emotional turmoil that plagues her soul.
Sacrifices will have to be made by both, putting their love to the test. Izzy stands to lose the marriage she dedicated years of her life to, but has a chance to gain a relationship she's always longed for. All depends on whether Sebastian proves to be the love of Izzy’s life, or leaves her wanting more…
Izzy is dealing with a failing marriage and desires for things she doesn't really know anything about - other than all the internet research she’s done. Sebastian is a Dominant who offers to help her without the idea of anything beyond teaching her the basics.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and couldn’t wait to see what book 2 held in store!

As romance novels go, they both got way more out of their friendship and connection than either was thinking they would. The story was good, but a little too detailed in places. Also, the vocabulary choices weren’t my favorite words. It’s hard to read a book that’s supposed to be erotic with words like labia and folds. I also struggled because inner thoughts were just thrown in and it wasn’t always clear what they were supposed to add to the story. I did enjoy when the author threw in just snippets of Seb’s POV. There weren’t a lot, but they were just enough to really keep me going and wanting to see what was coming next.
One of my first notes in the book was a concern that this would just be like a fan fiction of Fifty Shades of Grey. I’m very happy that I was so wrong in that assumption. Though there were similarities here and there, it definitely wasn’t a retelling of that story.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and couldn’t wait to see what book 2 held in store!
