The Ever & Always Duet concludes with Four Love… Holly has never been more scared in her life. She’s hoping that the bad guys attempting to bank off her realize—like she has—that her temporary husband doesn’t care for her as anything more than a way to cash in on his inheritance and amuse his roommates in the process.Even if she makes it out alive, she won’t ever be whole. Not unless Trent, Lorenzo, and Owen suddenly decide that the stakes in the game they were playing are a lot steeper than can be paid for with money.This time, they’re gambling everything on love. Four Love is the conclusion of the Ever & Always Duet, and should be read following Four Money.

Picking up right where Four Money left us hanging, Four Love starts out with a bang and a gamble.
A gamble that Holly’s really going to escape her captors. A gamble that the love Holly’s feeling for Trent, Lorenzo and Owen is returned. A gamble that the four of them can make this burgeoning relationship real, and one that lasts a lifetime.
Holly, Trent, Lorenzo, and Owen are all tested in this Ever and Always duet. They all need to believe in the power of love—that sometimes, even in the darkest of times, love really is enough.
I truly adored how Holly, Trent, Lorenzo, and Owen grew in their relationship—that they all found what and who they wanted. Who and what will keep them happy, loved, and fulfilled. It wasn’t an easy path to their happily ever after, though in real life it rarely is. But it was so worth seeing them all find their happiness, their future, their family. ~ Missy, 4 stars
With the way Four Money ended ~ something that I didn’t see coming at all ~ my need to know how everything would work out was quite intense and I have to say that I enjoyed how not only that situation was dealt with, but how Holly, Trent, Lorenzo and Owen finally got it together and found their happiness.
In my review for Four Money, I noted that while I liked Lorenzo and Owen we hadn’t gotten much time with them, but in Four Love that changes and I got as much of them as I did of Holly and Trent and I could see how they could have a true polyamorous relationship that would give each of them what they needed. Of course this took a good amount of opening up, laying their vulnerabilities and needs bare, but they finally did it and I liked where they ended up.
This was a fun and emotional read and finding out who was behind the situation at the end of Four Money was done quite well. So, if you’re into polyamorus romances, then this duet is a definite must read for you!

…at least it was KoboPlus and I didn’t pay for it.
Second half of a duet that’s really a single book chopped in half. The first ends in a cliffhanger that is resolved quickly and oddly. The author gave herself a great vehicle to work with and then abandoned it for some bizarre mother story and even more misunderstandings and bad dialogue. There’s only a few chapters from the two guys who didn’t have any in the first book.
The amount of time spent on analyzing how one of the guys was into anal play but absolutely, definitely, for sure, positively not gay was odd. One of the many times that steamy scenes fell flat due to too much talking that wasn’t sexy or romantic in any way.
The end was more about an HEA for one of the other foursomes and teasing another book than it was about the MCs. I never felt like these four are actually going to make it.
Narration: I enjoyed Ty Dunslow. There are a LOT of characters in this book and he did a great job differentiating them (though the number would be a stretch for any narrator).
The cliffhanger we were left with at the end of Four Money is quickly resolved in the beginning of book two. What follows is the foursome going down a path of self discovery and learning to trust one another with their deepest desires and insecurities. The beginning of the story can be a big confusing to follow as we jump from a few different locations while the kidnapping is wrapped up. After that, the focus becomes these four people who, despite being unconventional, are creating a relationship full of love and trust. In the end, we get a lot of steamy moments, some very heartfelt confessions and four characters who get the happily ever after they deserve!
Excellent follow up to Four Money. Danger has hit close to home. Even if this problem is resolved, will Trent, Owen, and Lorenzo be there for her more than just for sex but for the love she is feeling for them. When the problem is resolved, now for Holly to get inside their heads and figure out how she can help them. Will love be enough? Trent has lost his family for good, but now he has a great family, he loves Holly and his best friends. They will make it work. Great HEA, but I would love to see Holly, Andi, and Kari start families.

Four Love is the second and final book in the Ever and Always duet written by author Jayne Rylon. This duet has a continuous storyline, and we were left with a pretty big cliffhanger in the first book, Four Money. I couldn’t wait to read the conclusion, and as soon as I saw Four Love on my Kindle, I jumped right in!
In this book, Holly, Trent, Lorenzo, and Owen’s story continues where we left off. I was so absorbed in the tale that it was nearly impossible to put down! And let me tell you, it was it smoking hot! Phew! I’m still trying to cool myself down!
I loved how the guys were showing more of their personalities, and I learned so much more about them. It resulted in me falling even harder in love with these characters!
Four Love is Jayne Rylon’s conclusion to the Ever and Always duet. Finally we get to find out what happened to Holly after the massive cliffhanger where she was kidnapped at the end of Four Money. I recommend you read Four Money before reading Four Love, otherwise you will feel lost. Jayne includes some of the characters from the other books in this series and that offers credibility to the motivations of how this story will play out. She continues to paint visible credible characters for her series and the variations in stories are yet another reason to keep following her writing! There’s sex, but there’s emotion, and it’s hard not to get caught up in every facet of the story Jayne tells. Holly’s story caught me from page one, and the different aspects of Trent, Owen and Lorenzo are portrayed in so much more depth in this conclusion. Trent finally resolves his issues with his mother and Owen begins to realise how important he is in this foursome despite his concerns about his criminal past. Lorenzo too is ready to move on with his life as a solid part of their new company and leave his stripping days behind. Four Love is an emotional, sexy and heartwarming story. It really is the perfect conclusion to this wonderful duet. If you enjoy ménage, I doubt you’ll be disappointed with giving this story a read!
Holy moly, hot mama, and everything on between! Four Love by Jayne Rylon was exactly what I needed in the conclusion to this duet and so much more! From a cliffhanger that had me on tenterhooks at the end of the first book in the duet, Four Love served up all of the drama, love, angst, tension, and more, between the loveable characters of Holly, Trent, Owen, and Lorenzo. I loved that this book gave each character more depth, made them more well rounded, and also delved deeply into their psyche, and how they fit together in their relationship. But, family drama, the results from what led to the cliffhanger in book one, as well as their own insecurities become pretty insurmountable obstacles if they don't take that moment to step back, breathe deeply, and think about what truly matters, and how it is possible to get there through teamwork. Will they come to they realization that teamwork makes the dream work? Read this to find out, and enjoy all of the shmekshay times along the way, you definitely won't be disappointed and will need a tall, cool, glass of water with you for the ride! So, what are you waiting for? And, you even get some visitors from other Jayne Rylon worlds to boot!
Four Love concludes the Ever and Always Duet. Since Four Money ended on a cliffhanger, I’ve been anxiously waiting for the conclusion.
Four Love picks up where Four Money left off. Holly is in danger after storming away from her men, Trent, Lorenzo, and Owen. The men do everything in their power to rescue Holly, and Holly does everything she can to return to her men.
I liked this book just a little bit more than the first one, because there is more time spent on character development of Lorenzo and Owen. The connections between all the characters are more realized. I enjoyed the interactions between Holly and each man individually and the magnetism the four have together. Holly, Trent, Lorenzo, and Owen all need to trust each other, communicate, and work through their misunderstandings to get to their HEA.
This story has everything I enjoy in a book - love, passion, angst, danger, and a villain. I love Jayne Rylon’s books, and this one was throughly enjoyable. It was great to visit with characters from the 4-Ever and Ever After duets, as well.
Another winner! So hot, great action, even better than book 1!
I really enjoyed Four Money, the first book in this duet. I loved this one just as much. Holly and her men definitely have a lot to work out, and it doesn’t help that she was kidnapped! The characters really developed their relationships with each other so much more in this volume, and they definitely needed to figure out how to become a family and rely on each other. Sexytimes are always so smoking hot with this author! She just has such a talent for bringing the characters together in ways that are both loving and incredibly steamy.
You definitely need to read book 1 before you start Four Love. If you are familiar with other series by the author, you’ll recognize some of the supporting characters. There is some great action with twists you won’t expect that makes the book even better. Another winner! I was sad it had to end!
I loved this part two of Trent, Owen, Lorenzo and Holly's story. It picks up right where 'Four Money' left off, with Trent realizing he's screwed up and not realizing Holly has been kidnapped and Lorenzo and Owen freaking out about losing Holly if Trent can't make things right between them.
In 'Four Money' I didn't feel the connection with Owen and Lorenzo but it comes through loud in clear in 'Four Love.' We really get an in depth look at Owen and Lorenzo's relationship with Holly and it pulled me right in.
Great quartet, steamy ménage, with some hot one on one action, and vulnerable hearts willing to put it on the line to keep them all together. The only thing I didn't care for was the inheritance resolution but loved the happily ever after epilogue.
I received an ARC copy and am voluntarily leaving a review. That said I expect any editing issues will be resolved before publishing.
We finally get the conclusion in the Ever and Always duet. The previous book did end in a cliffhanger, so I would suggest reading that one first and then checking this one out.
While we find out what happened to Holly, we always find out more of each of the characters, what background made them how they are today. Some have their hang ups, but Holly gets them to talk and that’s all they needed to become a team and flow with each other.
I was so hooked on the story from the beginning, we get some drama, much tension and also some very sexy times.
I absolutely loved seeing some characters from other series, I love how laid back Holly’s mom is, she sees that her daughter has found love, doesn’t matter that it’s just one guy, she’ll just get lots of love from all her men.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
4 Stars Jayne Rylon brought it all with the conclusion to the Ever and Always duet, Four Love. Falling was the easy part, now comes the hard. Holly, Trent, Lorenzo and Owen have the attraction, chemistry and passion but figuring out all the feeling has some knots twisted and lingering doubt. Four Love is a journey in trust and discovery. A path that could be the brightest of blessings or the road paved in ruin. They may be a unit but they are still individuals within their group. With their new found emotions, navigating the waters is unfamiliar territory yet is a force they can’t seem to contend with. Owen, Lorenzo, Trent and Holly found a way to turn a crazy mess into something bigger than imagined. Jayne Rylon concludes the Ever and Always duet, Four Love with a fast paced, draw you in, super hot and emotional read.
Four Love is the second book in the Ever and Always duet and the follow on from Four Money and picks up where it, left off. Obviously in order to enjoy Four Love to the fullest you should read Four Money first.
Now that feelings are involved, Holly, Trent, Lorenzo and Owen seem to be struggling to find their way through to their HEA. So after some bad decisions, misunderstandings and criminal activity, they learn to communicate their thoughts, fears and feelings which ultimately leads them to their forever.
Jayne Rylon is undoubtedly the master at writing polyamorous storylines although I'm not the biggest fan of duet novels. It seems to have been a long couple of months between Money and Love but now that it's complete I'm definitely up for a series binge re-read!
Four Love is the conclusion of the Ever and Always duet. They do need to be read in order, so start with Four Money if you haven't read that first.
Four Love picks up at the cliffhanger of Four Money. Without spoilers, Holly's life is in danger and no one even knows it yet. Trent, Lorenzo and Owen discover something is wrong when Holly doesn't visit her Mom in ICU because she is recovering from a kidney transplant. Reinforcements are brought in and the search is on.
Once they are reunited, with priorities straight, they have a lot of talking, self discovery and learning to fully trust one another to do. Can these four people, each with a damaged past, find love together and strength from one another? Enjoy this series and find out for yourself!
This is the conclusion to Holly, Trent, Owen, And Lorenzo's story. The first book left us on a heck of a cliffhanger. This book picks right up and had me on the edge of my seat. Will Trent be able to admit the feelings he has for Holly before it's too late. I loved watching how Holly breaks the guys out of their emotional shells. We get a deeper look into the backstories of the guys. A lot of emotion in this one that brings on the feels. This book also delivers on the heat. Things get very steamy between Holly, Lorenzo, Owen, and Trent. It's also a way for them to create an intimate connection. This is a good read that I gobbled right up. I needed to know what happened next for the quartet. This book gave me a little of everything to satisfy my reading craving.
This is the conclusion to Trent, Lorenzo, Owen and Holly's book. You need to read Four Money first. This starts right at the cliffhanger of Four Money.
I think some of the scenes in the second book are hotter than the first. You truly see the depth of Owen and Lorenzo come out. The were involved in book 1, but really came into their own in this one. Holly had to settle things with each one separately, which usually lead to a hot scene. They became truly one in this book.
Jayne added in some twists and turns, but in the end everything works out. From the ending it sounds like Max might be next one to fall in love.
I thoroughly enjoyed this continuation of Holly, Trent, Lorenzo and Owen's story. Ms Rylon started it with a bang and ended it with love. Although Trent, Lorenzo and Owen loved to share, they had never discussed what would happen when they found love. I enjoyed seeing them navigate not only their feelings for Holly but also their expectations. I enjoyed their journey as they accepted their needs, their wants and their desires. In Holly they found a way to accept who they were and who they are. Ms. Rylon gave us a well written enjoyable read. I loved the journey and the emotions she brought to the forefront. I look forward to more from her in the future.
In this concluson these four people have to navigate what it looks like to be in this relationship. While unconventional, it works for all of them. Trent, Lorenzo and Owen have been looking for the woman to complete them and found her in Holly in the first book. But Trent might have damaged things too badly for repair. Holly has to make some decisions about what she truly wants. We find out so much about all of these characters and what makes them react they way they do. I love that about Jayne Rylon's writing. She pulls us in in a short amount of time and we route for these characters. They didnt have a smooth road to their HEA but what a ride it was.
Hot and heavy is how I would describe the second book in the Ever and Always duet. There is everything you would except and enjoy from Ms Rylon's books, off the charts heat mixed with vulnerability from all four partners, leading to self-discovery.
I did enjoy reading this book, I have rated it 🌟🌟🌟🌟 as the only thing I wasn’t so keen on was how Owen and Lorenzo would grumble and acknowledge Trent's baggage but then hold in their own. However, I understand that the characters needed to be that way to move the story on.
All in all, well worth a read and a good conclusion to a great duet.
This book starts immediately after the previous one ended, and once the danger is taken care of, with some great friends old and new, we can get down to business. The business? Well, an emotional bond had been made with one of the trio of men for Holly, but not the other two. We know the sexual chemistry is there, but now it is time to get to know them. Of course, Trent and Holly still clash, I think they always will, but Owen and Lorenzo find their bond with her, and her with them. It all had some emotional moments, of course some hot times, and a commitment from all four to love!
This is the conclusion of the Ever and Always duet and you must read book one, Four Money first. I really liked this book and the duet as a whole. The story picks-up and begins to unfold from the cliffhanger at the end of the last book. Holly, Trent, Owen and Lorenzo's relationship continues to evolve and change as drama, emotions, desire, baggage and stumbling blocks force changes and also some eye opening realizations. Along the way, you can expect plenty of sizzle, steam and reading pleasure. I am choosing to post a candid review.
This is the conclusion to Trent, Lorenzo, Owen and Holly's book. This picks up right at the cliffhanger of Four Money. You get to see more of the bond that has formed between Holly & Owen & Holly & Lorenzo. You also get to learn a little more about the men themselves. When the four of them find out who was behind what happened to Holly and why can they get through it together or will how they each want to handle it be what drives them apart for good? This book has some scenes that are hotter than the first book and was so worth the wait.
This is the conclusion to the "Ever and Always" duet. This book can not be read as a standalone. Book one, "Four Money", ended on a cliffhanger. This story picks up at that point. Holly, Trent, Lorenzo and Owen have a lot of obstacles to overcome. While their sexual chemistry is undeniable, without trust there is no chance for a relationship. You know I won't give spoilers, but I will say that Ms. Rylon doesn't disappoint!
*I received an Advance Reader's Copy of this book as well as purchasing a physical copy which I am voluntarily reviewing*
4.5 stars - Hot Guy Hoarder - "Turns out I'm a hot guy hoarder." Holly, Trent, Lorenzo, and Owen have their work cut out for them but Holly's comment is so very true. While reading the first book in this duet would have made the experience even better, I was unable to get to it before reading this. I still enjoyed this wild ride that had suspense, family drama, and many hot steamy fun times (including some toys that I was educated on)! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is Book 2 in the Ever and Always Series. This story is awesome! Holly, Trent, Owen and Lorenzo have a lot of past life problems that continue from the first book to this one. As we read through everything that they go through, you just want to reach out and slap the, tell them to let go of the past and then you want to hold them so they know they are loved. They are fantastic together if they can just stop and realize it. The author just keeps getting better and better with every book that she gives us. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book that I received from the author.
I’ve been looking forward to reading Four Love by Jayne Rylon and finding out what happens to Holly, Trent, Lorenzo and Owen ever since Four Money ended and she did not disappoint. I loved everything about this book and I really enjoyed seeing these four come together stronger than ever. It was nice seeing Holly’s relationship with Owen and Lorenzo developed more in this book. This author always know how to write super hot sex scenes that I have come to love over the years and this one was no exception. Great seeing characters from other series make an appearance. What a nice treat!
FOUR LOVE is book TWO of the Ever and Always Duet. It is NOT a stand-alone and should not be read as one.
This story picks up at the cliffhanger from book one - seriously, don't read this book out of order.
I've said this before and I will it again... Jayne Rylon sure does know how to write hot and steamy poly relationships. I enjoyed this book because we got a deeper look at "secondary" characters from the first.
As always, there is plenty of open door sex along with a bit of mystery, emotions and redemption.
** No Spoilers!** I think I'm still sizzling from this read! 🔥 I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book so I ran to buy the first book and read it before starting this one. I can say this is one of my favorite storylines from Jayne. I was able to make a emotional connection because I lived in Las Vegas for 15 years and I really liked these characters and their POV. I'm going to go buy the story this line branches from! More smexy book boyfriends, what a hardship! ❣️ SinCityRica
This books starts where last one left off. I loved the book, there was a lot of steam between the three guys and Holly but there was also an actual story. I liked how the characters were all broken despite their backgrounds but in the end they were able to hold each other together and heal. I didnt happen overnight and it wasnt perfect but it worked. I voluntarily reviewed this book after receiving an ARC.
