Happily Ever Never is a stand-alone novel by Jennifer Foor.

WARNING – THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS

First of all I need to issue a cry warning for this book. It will make you cry even if you know from the synopsis that one of the main characters is going to die and try to prepare yourself – you will cry.
So I tried really hard not to get attached to Major because from the synopsis you know he is going to die before Major and Bailey can get married. Honestly I spent the first 40% of the book hoping that Major turns out to be a douchebag so that it doesn’t hurt when he dies but no – the man is a saint and dies anyway and it’s heartbreaking. Honestly at that point I just wanted to close the book and be done with it but I needed to know that something good was going to come out of it so I hung in there and I’m glad I did. The rest of the book was awesome.
The relationship with Bailey and Vince was somewhat unexpected but was my favorite part of the book. The first 50% of the book just drug on but after Major dies it really picks up. The fact that Vince gets cancer and we think he is going to die really brings a human element to him that makes the reader just fall in love with him. I am so glad this book ended with a Happily Ever After.

                                                                                          

Description
I was about to marry the man of my dreams. We had it all; a life that most could only wish for. I felt like the luckiest woman in the world.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it was taken from me.

Now I can’t grasp how to move forward. I don’t even think I want to. Whether I’m dead or alive, my happily ever after is NEVER going to happen.

EXCERPTS:

#1
It kept repeating in my head.
Major was gone forever.
His life was over.
We would never be married.
Having his children was out of the question.
I was alone, dependent on myself once again and it petrified me. I wanted him back, and I didn’t care how wrong that sounded. How was I to go on when all that I loved had been ripped away?



#2

I needed to get myself up off the floor and prepare to bury my very best friend, the man of my dreams and love of my life. On this day I’d say goodbye to him in front of a crowd of people that knew and loved him. On this day I’d bury our hopes and dreams in that casket with him.  I’d say farewell to the future that would never be; to the children we’d never make. I’d bury my soul with him, because that’s where it belonged. On this particular day a part of me would die too, much like the moment I knew he was gone.
