Cam and Lucy's story. Cam and Lucy's story! I feel like I've been waiting on this forever, so I was over the flipping moon to get an early look at it as part of this blitz. It was so good, y'all. If you've been loving this series so far, go buy this book immediately. You will not be sorry.Lucy's been my favorite character in the More series since the very first book. I loved that she was a bookworm and thoroughly appreciated the bookish references thrown in. It always made me smile when I could figure out which book she was talking about without a title ever being mentioned. Lucy is sassy and feisty and that's my favorite type of female character. She and Cam always made a fantastic couple while they were in the background of other characters' stories, so I couldn't wait to see them shine and learn more about them.I knew I liked Cam with Lucy, but I never had a strong read on his character on his own until I read this book. OMG this kid. I. Love. Cam. He's so sweet and thoughtful and just an all-around good guy. He's one of the least complicated, swooniest good book boyfriends I've met in a long time. He's also sexy, funny, artistic and intelligent. Total package, right? Right.More Than Forever spans a long period of time – from Cam and Lucy meeting in their early teens until they're in college. For a long time, it seemed like everything with them would be totally rosy and nothing could come between them. Well, I was silly for actually believing that because this is a Jay McLean book and there has to be a twist or two in there. And there was. There was also the frustrating lack of communication between characters that made me want to yell at them – but only because I love 'em so much and hated watching them make mistakes.There was no sitting this book down once I started reading it. Cam and Lucy were so freaking cute as they started out, and they just got better from there. I loved the dynamic between them and adored their banter. Of course, as their relationship grew, things got sexier and there are some pretty steamy scenes here. *fans self* More Than Forever wasn't all romance, though. There's a great focus on friendship and family, particularly Cam's relationship with his mom's boyfriend. They just made me smile.More Than Forever was a great addition to the More series. It's also my favorite book in the series so far. It was the best of what Jay McLean has to offer – likable characters, a wonderful pairing, great romance, fun sexy times, humor and a ton of heart, and just enough strife to make it real, but not overly angsty. If you're a fan of new adult and not reading this series, you should be.I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
