-LUCY-
There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured.
A heart so strong it will never slow.
There is a promise so sure it can never lie.
He promised me that love forever.
Even when it wasn't enough.
-CAMERON-
Forever. Everlasting. Eternal.
There is no measure of time.
No sounds of the ticking of a clock.
Just the rising and falling of the sun.
And our own sense of forever.
Jay McLean has done it again. This book is amazing!
I knew Cam and Lucy from the prior books but nothing prepared me for their story. I cried, I laughed, I cried again. I may have left my kindle a couple of times for a few seconds just because I didn't know if I could read the next paragraph.
Cam is an awesome guy. He was there for Lucy from the very beginning. It just took one look at Lucy for him to know he wanted More. She was it for him. Even at fifteen he was very more mature for his age. He and Lucy took responsibilities neither of them should have needed to have.
Getting to know Lucy at fifteen when her world was falling apart was devastating. I hurt for Lucy.
My idea of Lucy from prior books was of a funny girl, a bookworm, and who doesn't love Drunk Lucy? But this Lucy is completely different. It was an emotional roller coaster for me.
I'm so happy Lucy met Cam when she did. I believe he saved her when she needed saving.
I also love the parent figures in this book as much as I did in prior novels. I'm adding Cam's mom and her boyfriend to my list of favorite parents. Tom, Lucy's dad made a huge mistake but by the end I loved him too.
I think he and Logan's dad need a second chance in love. They are too nice not to have a chance to love again.
Thank you Jay for the opportunity to read this beautiful story.
Favorite Quotes:
"Is your sister… uh… hearing impaired?"
They both let out simultaneous snorts. "No," Lincoln answers, pulling his cap further down his head and looking up at me. His eyes roll as he says, "She's just reading."
"I thought we were friends," she whispers. "Maybe someday, we could have been more."
I should have been her right.
"Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, please return yourself, and all your Good Vibrations, back to your office. There's a beautiful girl sitting at your desk. No need for alarm. Apparently she's just here to sniff around."
"You make my world stop, Lucy."
"You, Cameron.You changed. You came into my life and you healed me.You made me feel alive again."
"Lucy makes me punchy."
"Good," I respond, and then inhale a huge breath. "Because I'm kind of in love with you, Lucy."
"Okay, so after Penisgate… I got to thinking… and I think you're right—about being ready… emotionally. I don't think I am yet."
"I don't think anything can ever get in the way of our love. Ever."
"Because it's eternal, the rise and fall of the sun. It'sforever. Just like us."
"I love you, Cameron," she whispers.
"Forever, Luce. I love you, forever."
"I love you, Lucy. I'll always love you, even if you don't know it. So… even if forever isn't eternal, I promise to love you for our forever."
I try to sniff back my sobs, but it doesn't work. "And what happens if our forever is short? What if something happens?"
He kisses my softly, for so long, that I almost forget why I'm crying. He pulls away, but not enough that his lips leave mine. "Then I will love you, for our forevermore."
"Because he's Cameron. And you’re Lucy. You're team Luca. You guys are forever. If you two can't make it work, then we're all screwed."
"To claiming your girls, owning them and making them yours."
Because I think I've always loved her.
Always.
And forever.

EXCERPT
"I hate that guy," Logan jerks his head toward Jake and
a new kid.
"The new kid? Dylan?"
He nods. "He thinks he owns the school."
"Really?" I glare over at them. "Apparently he kills
it on the basketball court, but I dunno." I shrug. "He
hasn't said two words to me. He seems quiet."
"Those are the ones you have to worry about, Cam. The
quiet broody assholes get all the girls. Better watch him
around that new girl of yours."
I play dumb. "What new girl?"
"Shut up, asshole. You don't think I notice you
watching her all the fucking time?"
I lift my chin. "I think if there's an asshole in this
entire school to watch out for, it's you."
He laughs and adjusts his cap. "You don't need to worry
about me. I'm not into stealing my friend's girls." He
shoves his hand in his catcher's glove and smacks my arm
with it. "Say the word. Claim her. I promise to stay away
and I'll make sure she's untouchable to everyone else."
"I'm not an asshole and she isn't property. I can't own
her."
"If that's what you want." He raises an eyebrow. "She's
cute. In a couple years she'll be hot. Guys will be all
over her. I'm just trying to help out."
I think about what he's saying, and he makes a good
point. Only he's wrong—she's hot now. "Fine. I claim her.
She's mine."
His smirk is instant. "You can't own someone, you pig.
She isn't property."
I laugh. "Fuck you."
Jake struts over to us. "Ya reckon that new kid Dylan
can hang out with us this arvo? He seems like a top
bloke."
Logan's gaze moves to me, confusion clear on his face.
I shrug. He lets out a chuckle before gripping both of
Jake's shoulders and shaking him gently. He looks him
right in the eye, speaking slowly and clearly. "I have no
idea what the fuck you just said."
The More Series
More Than This, #1
*Mikayla*
In one night my fairytale ended. Or it may have begun. This is my story of friendship and love, heartbreak and desire, and the strength to show weakness.
*Jake*
One night I met a girl. A sad and broken girl, but one more beautiful than any other. She laughed through her sadness, while I loved through her heartbreak.
*This is our story of a maybe ever after.*
He was right. It made no difference whether it was 6 months or 6 years.
I couldn’t undo what had been done. I couldn’t change the future.
I couldn’t even predict it.
It was one night.
One night when everything changed.
It was so much more than just the betrayal.
It was the Tragedy.
The Deaths.
The Murders.
But it was also that feeling.
The feeling of falling.

More Than Her, #2
For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction." For every choice you make there are rewards, or there are consequences. It was my choice to walk away the first time. And my choice to chase her the second. But sometimes you don't get a choice, and all you get are the consequences.” "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” Unless that someone is Logan Matthews. Because loving him didn't give me the strength to walk away. It didn't give me the courage to fight for him. And when it was over, all it gave me was a broken heart.

More Than Him, #3
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." - Marianne Williamson
We live in a world of darkness and shadows,
where monsters hide and aim to ruin.
And they did.
They ruined us and turned our dreams into nightmares.
But now we're back.
And we're fighting.
Not just for us, or for each other, but for our light.
