FINALLY Quinn gets his story. And what a story!!!!!! Quinn has been hiding, afraid that the limelight will bring his egg donor mother out of hiding. He wants nothing to do with her. He know the story. he knows the truth. She is nothing.
Nola wants to live. She wants to breathe. If she goes home to the plantation she will drown under the expectations, the pressure. What harm could an adventure cause??? What is a few liesA lot if you fall in love and have an unknown tie to the one you love that can crush you, drown you in sorrow.
If there is a lesson to learn in this book it is to give love a chance, to listen before you jump to conclusions, that there are always more than one side to a story. All sides of the story can be a joy in a romance novel especially the result is a Happily Ever After. Chasing My Forever had an amazing ending, beautiful, romantic, satisfying. The journey had some ugly moments making the ending more worth while, more satisfying.

Boring! I thought this would be an interesting story because Quinn has always been quiet but this was just boring.

Finally
I thought Quinn would be the loner always. I enjoyed his story as much as his sisters’. Can’t wait for the rest.

Once again, Heidi writes a beautiful tale. Being able to read the man that Quinn has become has been quite the journey. Nola had to be perfect because with so many books with Quinn, I wouldn't except anything less as a reader. At first, I really wasn't sure that she would be worthy of this character that I love so much. But I should never doubt Heidi's mastery. I'm always left breathless at the end and always wanting whatever comes next.

"Women are skittish, and men are hesitant to make any moves, lest we be accused of doing something inappropriate."
This was the sentence that almost caused me to stop reading, and it's fairly early on in the book. Not only is this indicative of a sexist society that often blames women for anything that happens to them, but given Quinn's father was a victim of date rape, it seems very out of character for him to think this.
Abandonment, drama and cliches fill this book.
I was a little disappointed in how easily Quinn folded when asked to join a band he didn't want to join. I would have liked it if he'd stuck to his guns and followed his passion. But Quinn is a people pleaser and can't say no to his sisters. He is dealing with a jumble of emotions about everyone around him coupling up, feelings about the band and jealousy over his father's burgeoning mentor-ship with fellow drummer Ajay. And Quinn is a shy one, not often putting his heart on his sleeve.
Eleanora has just graduated from college and decides to travel to California with her roommate, Kellie, to avoid going home to her family's plantation to become a teacher and marry her unfaithful on and off boyfriend who is expecting a baby with another woman. She is hoping to meet her best friend's (Sofia) brother and convince Sofia to join her and Kellie in California.
Everything is going smoothly until Eleanora and Kellie plan a surprise visit to Sofia but are met with fear and anger. Fear of Sofia's mother and anger from Sofia about their unexpected visit.
It was a given that Quinn's biological mother, Alicia, would feature in his book to some degree. As it naturally turns out, Sofia's brother is Quinn. Although she has been told a different story to explain his absence. Readers of the series knew the second Sofia was said to have a brother, Q, in California and that her mother's name is Alicia.
Things come to a head and everything blows up in both Quinn and Eleanor's faces when Alicia uses Sofia's connection to Eleanor to ambush Quinn once his new band plays a concert. Words are said and explanations ignored and Eleanor is left bereft and Quinn devastated.
As always Quinn has Katelyn who has been his only confidant and supporter throughout this book.
Harrison and Quinn confront Alicia and he tells her if his sisters don't want him to have anything to do with Sofia he wont. I think this was a missed opportunity for them to overcome Alicia and forge a relationship.
I think it was a cop out having Alicia be mentally ill and therefore unable to either truly be a villain or admit she did wrong and accept some responsibility.
This book had potential for more. At least the pregnancy wasn't happening directly to a main character, almost.

Another one, you just cannot put down. Heidi does a great job of making you fall on love with the characters and knowing everything about them. I love how much Quinn has turned into his dad, my favorite character from the first series. Fall in love with Quinn and Elanora in this fun romance.

I’ve waited forever for Quinn’s book and while I did enjoy it I feel like his could’ve been so much more than what it was
