Forever in the Country by Alexandra Hale
5.0
Every now and then you come across a book where 5 stars is just not enough. Forever in the Country is one of those books.
Sorren and Rhea’s story has been slowly and quietly building all series and it is so much more than I ever imagined it would be. The passion is explosive and was exactly how you would picture a broody, protective and possessive Sorren to be. And the way Rhea matches him in every aspect makes them perfect for each other.
This journey is an emotional one, I lost count of the number of times I reached for the box of tissues. Sorren carries such a burden on his shoulders but it wasn’t the one that I expected it to be and it was so much more heart-breaking than I anticipated. He is such a broody hero and my heart melted as he slowly let people in and began to lean on them; slowly allowing Rhea to see and love all of him. Events in the past caused Rhea to struggle with feelings of guilt; I am so proud of the way Alexandra Hale took on this storyline. Rhea is the one that holds her siblings together, she has supported all of them through their relationships and seeing them hold her up when she needed it was wonderful.
Alexandra Hale often talks about striving for balance. In this book she has achieved that. The dark moments of Sorren and Rhea’s struggles are balanced with the lightness of the family group chat, thirst traps and family bets that are starting to pay out.
I have fallen completely in love with this family and this town. The way they show up for family, every time, no questions asked makes my heart burst. The bonus epilogue was the icing on the most remarkable cake and had me reaching for the tissues once more.
I am sad to see the end of this series.
