Monica Murphy ripped my heart out in One Week Girlfriend and gave me what I thought was Drew and Fable's happy ending at the end of Second Chance Boyfriend. But with this novella, she continues their beautiful love story and it made my heart happy.We have seen this couple go through so much confusion, pain,drama,and heartbreak. And now we get to see them moving on and happy. I loved how the author gently reminded us of some of the major happenings in the other books so that they were fresh in our minds without it feeling like she was retelling the whole story. We met them as a broken rich boy with major demons, and a girl with a bad rep who took money to pose as his girlfriend for one week in order to help take care of her brother. They forged a real relationship, understanding and deep connection and helped each other move forward and heal. They have been together and apart and now plan to be together permanently.I just totally love Drew. He has conquered his demons for the most part, mended fences, and is still head over heels for his girl, Fable. He is living his dream career, has such a bright future, and wants to share it. His acceptance, love, and support for Fable's younger brother Owen is remarkable. His journey from a stoic, tortured boy to an open, warm, devoted man melts my heart.Fable is still fiercely protective, sassy, caring, sweet, and outspoken. She has overcome a hard past and has basically raised her brother. She is the girl from the wrong side of the tracks, and sometimes she still marvels at the fact that she has Drew and is living in a way she is not accustomed to. But she is real and genuine, and her loving personality shines through.They are moving on with their lives. They are taking the next steps in their relationship. They are dealing with Drew's commitments, success, and celebrity status. They are still essentially parents to a maturing Owen who is in High School and college during this story. So they have pressure and stressors like most couples. But we get to see how they deal with their changing lives.There are a few tests and tribulations they face, but mostly this book lets us finally see this couple find their happy place together. They both so deserve it after the pain from their pasts. I loved seeing their progression, maturity, and growth individually and together. Of course there are still fears, insecurities, and misunderstandings, but Drew and Fable have become so much stronger together.I absolutely adore this couple. This story had me enthralled from the fist page and I loved every bit of it Even though this was a novella, it covered a lot of ground and felt like it gave us a complete, fresh story that was worthy of telling. I loved getting both of their points of view and seeing their innermost thoughts, emotions, and fears. This book made me laugh, tear up, swoon, and hold my breath. It was romantic, sexy, humorous, and heart warming. It had a little drama and tension, but it did not overshadow the sweet happy moments. I feel like it did justice to this couple and will be enjoyed by the fans of this series.I cannot wait for Owen's continued story in Four Years Later. His growth and issues were touched upon in this book we we have a little more insight about Owen going into his own story. And since I cannot get enough of Drew and Fable, I hope they pop up in his book as well.Thanks to Monica Murphy, Random House Publishing Group - Bantam Dell, and Netgalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review.
