Thank you Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This series was amazing and I should've read it sooner!

I laughed, I cried, I connected to the characters so easily and felt everything they felt. The world building was written so well, I felt completely immersed in the series that when I finished it I felt lost. I would recommend this book for those that enjoyed Outlander, or those that like time travel reads as the transitions were seamless.

This was such an interesting story. I love books that have past lives. This past life is brought into the future by visions for both characters. I loved seeing how Siena got the visions and found truth in them with aspects of her and Ryan's life now. Honestly such a great story with tons of ups and downs as both of their lives both past and present are lived. I can not imagine what it would be like to have such visions and know that the people in your life are also from your past life. What a great story and so well written

A powerful, multi-genre epic with deep emotional stakes. Always & Forever delivers passionate love across centuries, mysteries that bind eras together, and satisfying character growth—all tied with an undercurrent of destiny that resonates long after the last page.

Vera seamlessly intertwined past and present. The transitions between timelines felt effortless. I felt fully immersed in the story and emotionally connected to its characters.She blends romance, mystery, and a touch of fantasy, all while introducing a strong, resilient female lead. Siena’s journey through trauma and recovery was handled with care and realism. It’s clear that Vera conducted extensive research, particularly around PTSD and trauma from sexual assault, and approached the subject with deep respect and sensitivity. I was especially drawn to how real both Siena and Neave felt. Their decisions—flawed, emotional, deeply human—made them relatable and compelling. The attention to historical detail and the sensitive portrayal of trauma was exceptional. Vera has clearly poured her heart into this trilogy, and it shows in every line. The emotional intensity of this trilogy is unmatched—I went from anger and heartbreak to hope and joy, often within a single chapter. Her skillful world-building made it easy to picture every scene as though I were living it alongside the characters. This truly is one of my favorite trilogies and I can reread it over and over again!
