Alexander did not remember her, though some things she said touched a place in his memory that made him think he knew her from somewhere, which was only strengthened when she called him Alec, a nickname that only close friends and family knew.Ī few days later, Elena went to the club, only to encounter Lucian.and Alexander. His brother, Lucian, had been her childhood friend, and she had idolized Alexander, who was seven years older than her and his brother. While the friends danced, she went to the rooftop where she saw Alexander for the first time in around ten years. Though none of them were aware, it was her 23rd birthday. Shortly before going to the club, Elena had gone out with some of her co-workers to a local bar after work. She was given the option to sell her virtue at a local gentleman's club, thereby making more money to put towards her mom's medical bills than she was currently able to do, which she felt she had no alternative but to do. Having tried to get her father to see reason and help, was once again turned away. Her mom spent 8 years in a coma, during which Elena spent her entire inheritance paying for her medical bills.this is where our story begins.Įlena, doing everything she could to keep her mom alive, was at her wits' end, knowing she was no longer able to afford the medical expenses. When she turned 18, Elena walked away from her family and devoted her life to helping her mother in the hope that she would eventually wake up. Elena had an older brother, Matthew, who also turned his back on his mother and Elena. After some time had passed and it didn't seem like she would ever wake up, Elena's father had his wife dropped from his insurance, declared brain-dead, and moved his mistress and her daughter in and married the mistress. However, when she was 16, her mother ended up in a coma from an auto accident. There wasn't any.but I decided to read it anyway, and I'm glad I did.Įlena was born into a wealthy family.

Not that there was any cheating (that's a MAJOR turn-off for me for any book).

I have to say, with all of the negative reviews I read on, I nearly didn't read this book. Forever After All was about Elena Rousseau and Alexander (Alec) Kennedy.
