"If music be the food of love, play on." ~ShakespeareI've been a walking heartache. I've made a mess of me. The person that I've been lately ain't who I wanna be.But you stay here right beside me and watch as the storm blows through. And I need you.Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs. God gave me you for the days of doubt and for when I think I lost my way.There are no words here left to say. It's true....God gave me you.'God Gave Me You' ~Blake SheltonThe moment the author referenced this song I shouted, "Yes! That's freaking perfect!"Striving to find their way, Connor and Erin find solace in one another. Next to Forever is a declaration of growth, forgiveness, and finding faith in love.This story literally drove me crazy mad. There were moments of complete bliss and moments so surreal that I felt broken. I literally felt the need to contact the author and simply scream. Ahhh! What the hell was she thinking? I don't want to cry, dangit. Why can't things be all butterflies and roses. Nope, not with this author.Erin and Connor are faced with a whirlwind of affliction and desperately fight to salvage their love and sanity. Connor loves so madly and he proves himself deserving time and time again. I seriously adore this man!Then there's Sophia and Adam...oh how I love thee. This story would have not been the same without these two. Sophia is one of my favorite book characters. She's the girl you want to know, the one you want on your side.Together these four take on the world. They feed off of one another's strengths and become the structure which holds them in place.Take a seat, pull out the tissue and brace yourself for the unexpected.This isn't just Erin and Connor's story, but Sophia and Adam's as well. This is their life, their next, their forever.[...]
