Jen,
3。5 stars。 I liked it, I didn't love it。 There was a lot in here that I had to really suspend my belief for to make it work, i。e。 the FMC's relationship with her record company, the reason why she left and blamed the MMC, the reasoning behind the fake engagement, the saving herself for him for 15 years。If you can get past all of that, the writing is great, the banter is fun, and the spice is just the right level of steamy。 It does catch your attention and keep you interested, even if the plot is 3。5 stars。 I liked it, I didn't love it。 There was a lot in here that I had to really suspend my belief for to make it work, i。e。 the FMC's relationship with her record company, the reason why she left and blamed the MMC, the reasoning behind the fake engagement, the saving herself for him for 15 years。If you can get past all of that, the writing is great, the banter is fun, and the spice is just the right level of steamy。 It does catch your attention and keep you interested, even if the plot is a little shaky。 。。。more

After being torn apart due to a tragic accident, the story picks up with Kee and Dex 12 years later。 The two are forced to reconnect when Dex’s brothers arrange a contract with Kee’s recording label for her to be the artist in residency at Dex’s casino。 When Dex finds out that Kee’s label wants her engaged to another man for “good PR”, Dex makes it his mission to put a stop to it and makes Kee an offer she can’t refuse with Dex becoming her new fiance。 The chemistry that these two had was 🥵!

Bookish friends, meet Dex Hardy。 I absolutely devoured this book! It was so good。 I'd even say it's my favorite in the series。 Dex and Keelani have been through so much, trying to survive after a tragic accident in their teens。 Once madly in love, now complete strangers。 When they come across each other years later, can the tension and chemistry between them really be avoided? Can Dex stand by and watch her get engaged to another man?ABSOLUTELY NOT。I enjoyed EVERY second of this journey。 It was Bookish friends, meet Dex Hardy。 I absolutely devoured this book!

Absolutely and positively delicious!
Kris,
This book had so many of my favorite tropes rolled up into a beautiful story:- second chance- enemies to lovers- possessive MMC- billionaire - brother’s best friend - fake engagement It gave me all the emotions, made me laugh and cry, and was truly unputdownable。 The beginning was filled with so much angst, the middle is full of hope and longing, and the end is so delicious! I cannot wait to read more of Shain’s books!
Cara,
Shain Rose has done it again。 This is another angst filled romance with the next Hardy Brother。Dex and Kee were each other's first loves。 Dex wanted to shout it from the rooftops and Kee said they needed to keep it secret。She was going places with her singing。 She was also keeping secrets。 Dex was a young boy in love and when Kee made her decision, he was broken。 He become cold and hard and because of the lies told, he left town and never looked back。I felt sorry for him, because you could tell Shain Rose has done it again。 This is another angst filled romance with the next Hardy Brother。Dex and Kee were each other's first loves。 Dex wanted to shout it from the rooftops and Kee said they needed to keep it secret。She was going places with her singing。 She was also keeping secrets。 Dex was a young boy in love and when Kee made her decision, he was broken。 He become cold and hard and because of the lies told, he left town and never looked back。I felt sorry for him, because you could tell this hurt him a lot。 Fast forward a number of years and he is definitely not the boy Kee remembers when she comes face to face with him again。 Her best friend has managed to get her a spot singing at his casino in the hopes it helps her break away from certain people。The tension between these two is thick, they both might say there is no feelings left and they don't care but you can tell there are still sparks!In order to help Kee with a situation, he makes a proposition that claims will help her。 But in order to make it, they need to survive each other for 6months。 They might not know each other on the surface, but deep down, where it counts, they still know each other。I loved how Dex did everything he could to enable Kee to be herself and he supported her with everything she did。 Kee, cant help but notice this and they get closer。 I enjoyed this story so much。 Like all of Shain's stories, you get hooked into the writing, it flows really well and holds your attention。We do eventually find out what is happening and I did feel sorry for what Kee had to deal with and the manipulation she faced from the people that she cared about。I loved how Dex did what he could to protect her, especially where it counted。A really enjoyable read, I cant wait for the next one! 。。。more

I truly don’t know that I can express how amazing this book was。 I immediately fell in love with Dex and Kee。 While I’ve loved all of Rose’s men, I’ve been waiting for one to grab me as much as Cade Armanelli did in Corrupted Chaos。 Well, Dex was the man to breakthrough。 He’s unhinged in the best way (maybe even tied with Cade)。 And his banter with not only Kee, but with all the characters was unmatched。Kee and Dex have a complicated past and even though they wanted to be together when they were I truly don’t know that I can express how amazing this book was。 I immediately fell in love with Dex and Kee。 While I’ve loved all of Rose’s men, I’ve been waiting for one to grab me as much as Cade Armanelli did in Corrupted Chaos。 Well, Dex was the man to breakthrough。 He’s unhinged in the best way (maybe even tied with Cade)。 And his banter with not only Kee, but with all the characters was unmatched。Kee and Dex have a complicated past and even though they wanted to be together when they were young, life had a different trajectory。 Over a decade later, Kee finds herself in Dex’s casino/resort with a six month contract to sing。 Dex is completely against it at first, but as they both realize they don’t have a choice, they find themselves continually drawn back to each other。 Once Dex finds out that Kee is supposed to get engaged to her long term boyfriend coordinated through her label, Dex determines that the only person she’ll be fake engaged to is him。 I literally could NOT stop thinking about this book。 This book was the first in a long time where I was constantly thinking about when I could pick it back up - and at the same time, wishing it would never end。 The emotions, the banter, the side characters/cameos - it was all perfection。 And let’s not forget the dirty mouth on Dex! The man knows how to command a spicy scene。 All to say, I absolutely loved this one and think that Between Never and Forever has officially become my favorite of the Hardy Billionaire Brothers series so far。 However, we’ll have to see if Dex remains at the top when it’s time for Dimitri’s book - because that boy is hilarious and I cannot wait for his story! 。。。more

Even less hesitation to tell you that I was waiting with fingers, toes and elbows crossed for Dex Hardy’s book! Third of the Hardy Billionaire Brothers series but can be read as a complete standalone, this book brings you joy, tears, suspense and an incredible happily ever after! For Dex, finding out that the woman who broke his heart to become the nation’s singing sensation is going to be contracted to performing exclusively at his resort for six months was a shock in and of itself。 Finding out that she is getting engaged to the man she left him for? Intolerable。 For Kee (staged: Keelani), every decision she has made has been for the pride, survival and wellbeing of her family。 Add getting engaged to her pile of deeds for her family — that is, until she has to get engaged to the only man she’s ever loved, and the only heart she has ever broken。 Shain’s beautifully weaved story allows for cleared misunderstandings and recovered heartbreaks to pave way for amazing chemistry and a sizzling relationship until an obsessed stalker tries to stake his claim on Keelani。 Filled with toe-curling scenes, hilarious banter, precious family relationships and subtly relatable representation of addiction and Alzheimers makes this book hard to put down and leaves you craving for more! Thank you to Shain & the team for the ARC of this book! I am beyond honoured to provide my review。 。。。more

Noel,
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review。We have Dex and Kee who are the main characters, we start the book out with them having been together for a while in High school。 They have been keeping things a secret though at the behest of Kee's record label。 She announces she is moving to Nashville after graduation and breaks up with Dex, providing slim to no details。I didn't enjoy Kee in the beginning and I think her POV could have been written better。 I honestly felt bad for Dex in the b *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review。We have Dex and Kee who are the main characters, we start the book out with them having been together for a while in High school。 They have been keeping things a secret though at the behest of Kee's record label。 She announces she is moving to Nashville after graduation and breaks up with Dex, providing slim to no details。I didn't enjoy Kee in the beginning and I think her POV could have been written better。 I honestly felt bad for Dex in the beginning because she did treat him poorly。 We fast foward to the future and find out that things aren't what we thought they were。 At this point they are grown a** adults, and the miscommunication is OFF THE CHARTS。 Dex was honestly just a dick, I didn't enjoy his character for the majority of the book。 I felt bad for Kee once I figured things out but if she had literally just told him everything from the start nothing that happened would have had happened。 I wanted to like this book so badly but I just didn't really enjoy it。 At some points I disliked both of the main characters and the plot honestly gave me so much anxiety。 。。。more
Melly,
Between Never and Forever is the third book in The Hardy Billionaire Brothers Series! Though it is a standalone as always I highly recommend the whole series ! I have enjoyed each book and getting to know each Hardy brother! Shain knows how to write hot billionaire men!Dex and Keelani grew up together, Dex has over and over professed his love to her。 Due to her signing career and image they could not be together publicly, Dex hated that and no longer wanted part of it。 After a tragic accident an Between Never and Forever is the third book in The Hardy Billionaire Brothers Series!

Dex was possessive, protective, and loyal。 He was so dedicated to Keelani and would do anything for her。 The back and forth with these two kept me on the edge of my seat!! I just wanted to reach into my kindle and shake them both!!! Will they?? Or won’t they?? So much back and forth。 You could tell overall that these two really did care for each other! They had amazing chemistry。I really enjoyed Keelani’s character growth of finding herself and breaking out of the mold her brand!I don’t want to give away too much so I will leave you with this, I highly recommend this series!What to expect:SteamyBillionaire MMCSecond Chance RomanceSuper Overprotective HeroTortured Hero & Heroine 。。。more
Anna Marie,
Kee and Dex what can I say? EXCEPT THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! ok so I will say the miscommunication trope and the avoidance of problems normally isn't my jam, but this was done so well and fit in the storyline so well it didn't feeeeeeel like a bad trope。 It felt like two characters who were in a bad head space and grew together to overcome all obstacles and I actually think it worked amazingly。 This is about love and banter and wit and possessiveness and the one that surprised me was healing, Kee and Dex what can I say?

Seana ,
This story broke my whole heart! It did put it back together but the relationship between Dex and Kee is so relatable and the this that are discussed in this story had me in my feelings and feeling everything! I cried so much during this book。 I absolutely loved the story line and the plot twist that came out! This has became one of my favorite books! The spicy scenes are also to die for!
