This was a heartfelt story that I enjoyed, but some parts fell short for me. Connor Black's character change happened so fast that it seemed unbelievable. And I'm sorry, but the sex scenes were a bit bland.

This book had its good parts and its bad parts. I really liked Ellery but we never saw Conner's development into a better man that he claimed to be. Their fights never seemed to be resolved which really bugged me, they totally just ignored every dispute that had happened. I also didn't like how the ending just totally skipped ahead and didn't really explain much. I felt like it was just thrown together for an endings sake. Oh well... I'll still be reading the sequels since I want to what happens to them and maybe I'll get to see how he has evolved as a person!

The book started off very well.
The smart comments coming from Ellie very entertaining but eventually got bored of her running off every time they start talking seriously.
Wouldn't recommend it!

***** 5 Stubborn Stars
“Live a little Connor, life is too short,”
Kudos to Ms. Lynn on her first novel! This was a wonderful story that wasn't too far fetched from real life, as most are. I have to say that Ellery is one of my favorite heroines.
Ellery Lane, 23, has had no shortage of tribulations in her young life. Losing her mother to cancer at age 6, she was left with an alcoholic father who died shortly before she turned 18. When Ellery was 16, she was diagnosed with Leukemia. After the loss of her parents and surviving cancer, Ellery's outlook on life is to live it to the fullest, after all, life is too short.
Following the sudden exit of live-in boyfriend Kyle, Ellery is taken out for a night on the town with girlfriend Peyton. While at the bar, Ellery witnesses an altercation between and man and woman. After the woman storms off, the man is left drunk and alone and is soon escorted from the bar. Concerned for his well being, Ellery goes home with the man to make sure that he does not succumb to the same fate as her father.
Millionaire playboy, Connor Black wakes up to a strange woman making herself at home in his kitchen. Connor, thinking that Ellery is a one night stand picked up from the bar, makes a nasty first impression. Finally realizing that Ellery had honorable intentions and was only helping him out, Connor thanks Ellery for her help.
To settle the score, Connor takes Ellery out to dinner to thank her for helping him get home from the bar. Connor and Ellery have both sworn off relationships, they are taboo and nothing lasts forever. They are both stubborn to a fault! Connor asks Ellery to be a friend, a companion and makes it clear that he is not looking for anything more. It doesn't take long for lines to blur and both will be breaking their own rules.
Ellery holds on to a life changing secret and Connor has a woman in his life that seems to be holding him back. Will Ellery's secret change things for her and Connor? And who is Ashlyn and what does she mean to Connor?
Connor, sigh, Connor is a great mix of alpha and sweetness. He is a millionaire but his wealth doesn't control the story. There are real life aspects that make the story surreal. There were many times that I teared up by the situations the characters are each faced with. I want to thank Ms. Lynn for allowing me to beta read Forever Black and for introducing me to Connor Black. I CANNOT wait for you all to meet Connor! This truly is a great romance!
Keep your eye out for release updates and remember to add to your TBR list!

Este libro lo vi de casualidad, nunca pensé que esta historia me llegaría tanto, primero la historia de Ellery me llego por completo, como lucho y sobrevivió del cáncer es simplemente para yo llorar, ojala hubiera una cura totalmente para esa enfermedad y que todos los finales fueran como este libro, pero no todo es ORO.
Cuando comencé este libro jamas pensé que era sobre esto, pensaba que era algo simplemente 'tipo 50 sombras' y 'bla bla bla' pero es como dicen 'No juzgues un libro por su portada' y la verdad ame este libro.
