Drew + Fable Forever is more or less an extended epilogue...I’ve been chewing on my fingernails for a while now, trying to figure out just exactly how to review this sweet novella."She’s my fiancé, my future wife, the future mother of my children. Fable is the woman who will always stand by my side.Forever."If you’ve read One Week Girlfriend and Second Chance Boyfriend, which I hope you have or you shouldn’t be reading this review, you’ve probably become rather attached to Drew and Fable. I know I have. Their story is riddled with pain; physical, emotional, mental – it’s all there. Finally we’re shown what all those tiny rays of hope have turned into. Drew & Fable are still happy and going strong. They’ve been engaged for a while now. Drew has been drafted to the NFL and will be the new QB for the San Francisco 49ers, and Fable is the same old sassy, hard ass girl we all fell in love with. Obviously their love was meant to be."But what if he finds someone else? What if there really is someone else out there for him, someone better than me? He’ll be traveling. On the road with the team, playing games all over the country, and I’ll be stuck at home, making sure Owen’s getting good grades."Drew decides that before he leaves to embark on this new career opportunity he’d like to make to make their “forever” official. He whisks Fable away to a romantic tropical location in order to tie the knot. Get ready for some steamy sex scenes. I’m pretty convinced that Monica has them down pat at this point. I had to fan myself a time or two. Woooo.After the wedding we jump ahead a year. Drew is doing pretty well with the 49ers and Fable is ready to expand their family… I don’t want to give much more away. I will tell you that there are some misunderstandings and arguments. Jen and Owen both make an appearance or two throughout the short novella. They talk about Colin, but we never actually meet up with him."I need him to hold my hand and tell me everything’s going to be all right. I need him to stare into my eyes and let me focus on him and nothing else. I need him to kiss me and let me curse and be my rock…Hmm… What else can I say?"Drew and Fable are still working through the aftermath of hurricane Adele. Who wouldn’t be, though? It’s probably a lifelong process. Just thinking about that woman makes my skin crawl. Ick. Drew and his father seem to be doing pretty well. Their relationship has flourished and Drew’s father even has a new love interest. Let’s pray that this one’s a keeper. Even Fable has started to feel more comfortable with the man.Thank you, Monica for giving us this little glimpse into Drew and Fable’s future. There are moments when you read a book, or series of books, and become so attached to the characters that they feel real; almost like a part of the family. Drew & Fable are part of a beautiful series that did just that. With each book published in this series, a piece of them lives on. Jen and Colin stole my heart in Three Broken Promises, and I am anxiously awaiting the release of Four Years Later. I just know that Owen’s story will blow my mind. And the best part? We’ll have more Drew and Fable! You can’t have a story about Owen without the two people who loved him enough to take him in and essentially raise him. *sigh* I. Can’t. Wait!
