Always & Forever

Rate this book
Timing is everything.
Can I have the kind of love that would last for always and forever?
Now that I am ready, I don’t know who the right man for me is.
I crave a love that soars high, beyond this earth.
A love that will steal my heart and innocence.
The craving to be claimed and taken as one man’s woman is my dream.
Both of them wanting me at the same time feels like a ticking time bomb that’s waiting to go off. A bomb that can destroy one, or all of us. Passion that will unlock secrets and set us down to the path for our future.
Timing is everything for love to last always and forever.

We are really loving this series and this was another great read for us in this amazing series on going series.

The story was one emotional roller coaster filled with suspense,surprises,traitors,pain and suffering but, also one of blossoming love.We loved that the story had a bit of a love triangle going on and that Tami was willing to give both Solo and Pawn a chance to win her heart even though she already new where her heart already belonged.

I have to say that Solo was my favorite this time around because he put all his feelings on the line as well as his heart just hoping that he wasn't going to lose the women he loved not only that he made their courtship full of fun and laughter and very romantic. Tami was already his heart soul and his forever ! I loved seeing the dangerous and possessive side and also his protective side of Solo as he at times became down right scary "he made me shiver a time or to".

I really loved that know matter what would happen between Solo,Tami,Pawn that they promised to work at finding a way to keep their amazing friendship among them.

Overall we love the story as it kept us glued to the pages the whole time.The story was filled with tons of drama ,heartbreak,betrayals a surprise or two ,sexy times and tons of chemistry as well as an amazing cast of characters that make you laugh as well as cry all the things to keep you interested and turning the pages.The story left us with wanting more as we are finding out Pawn is turning out to be a bit of a mystery.

We really enjoyed this story and we have to give a shout out to the old ladies of this MC as they are down right hilarious and a whole lot of fun.

This is a really great MC series with tons of characters that you can't help but love and fall in love with .
We highly recommend it !

Solo and Pawn have been close forever, they pledged Battle Born together. Now they both want the same girl, but Battle Born do NOT share.
Tami is ready for a man. Tami wants to experience the type of passion she reads about in her books. Tami has been watching Solo and Pawn, but they don't make a move....maybe they aren't interested.
This book has the steamy stuff, the heartbreak, the person you love to hate, it has everything I've cone to expect from Scarlett Black. Black takes the reader on an emotional ride with this novella! I have been reading this Battle Born series from the very beginning and I'm incredibly honored to be on the ARC list. You don't have to read them in order, these books can be read as a stand alone.

ALWAYS AND FOREVER (Battle Born MC, Novella #3.5)
Scarlett Black
#arc #mc #bikers #romance #suspence #scarlettblack #BattleBornMC #AlwaysAndForever

POV:- Multi

4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Releasing 2nd May

In the previous Battle Born books, Tami is a shy, quiet, timid, inexperienced, naive, girl. Now she's grown abit, she's gotten used to the brothers, and the Old Ladies who have been there for her. She's gotten the family she's wanted.
She's got alot of love to give and she wants to be claimed by a brother. The thing is, she's got her eye on two. Then she gets the feeling that they're not interested.

Pawn and Solo.
They're best friends. Brothers, of the Battle Born MC
But Battle Born don't share.
The two of them have also been watching Tami. They'll both back off from Tami given the choice.
They get her attention.

Meanwhile there's been a development that there's an unwanted/unwelcomed incomer. Who's out for revenge/justice. And with developments becoming clearer, said person isn't making things easy.

"Real love that's perfectly imperfect, but that's what my heart was set on. A man that would claim me as his, taking me and stealing my heart. Always and forever." ~ Tami

Which one get's Tami's heart?

Oh, the feels! The emotional rollercoaster.
That letter!
I was a blubbering mess at the end.
The humour from Tank and the boys, made up for that.

Here's hoping there's a Spider and ----- book!?
But Tank and Kat's book is next in the Battle Born series:- Escaping From Forever (#4)

They prospect and got patched together, are best friends and are in love with the same girl. The innocent young Tami, whose biggest dream is to be loved and protected. Always and forever.


While Solo is determined and knows exactly what he wants but does not take action for fear of losing his best friend, Pawn stirs up the memories of a dark past that haunts him. He is afraid that his darkness will contaminate and hurt the one he sees as his angel.

"Go to her and do not give up on yourself, you are a man who deserves to be loved."

A narrative with lighter and tender scenes, involving not only this intense triangle, but also other characters that we love. However, Pawn's journey is agonizing. The way the author makes us feel all the love and agony that he lives breaks the heart.

The ending was totally different from what I expected. It was not bad, it was very well-developed and I'm sure a lot of people will love it. But I can not deny that my attachment to one of the protagonists prevented me from enjoying the closing of the story and left a bitter taste at the end of the reading.

~~~~~~~~~~Julie's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~~

Tami works at a bar where the MC men frequent. She wants a man to claim her and make her his. Solo wants her but so does Pawn. Only one of them can her and it’s a heartbreaking battle. I love this series. Awesome writing with an explosive storyline. Don’t miss this fabulous read.

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~~

Tami is ready to have a man claim her and she has her sights set on one of two men but when both decide to pursue her who does she choose? Pawn is the dark and sexy man who is battling demons and then there is Solo the strong alpha male who would make any woman's fantasy's come true. Will this destroy two MC brothers that swear loyalty to each other first and foremost? I loved this story and hated it at the same time. The characters become so ingrained in my heart that I hated when any of them got hurt and hurt they did. Great story with amazing characters that should not be missed.

"Go to her and do not give up on yourself, you are a man who deserves to be loved."

All Tami wants is a man who loves her with passion, who proclaims his love for her and takes her as his own. Always and forever.

They are best friends. They got into the MC together and always cared about each other and helped one another. But the similarities end there. Solo and Pawn are as different as light and dark.

An intense and chemistry-filled love triangle is the synopsis proposal and it does not fail. But in the new rewritten version of the book, we see more intensely the darkness that permeates Pawn's feelings and desires from a childhood of abuse.

In this version, Pawn is harder and all the affection he showed for Tami, which we witnessed in the first version was diluted and gets lost in drugs, alcohol and sex. His actions and choices will charge him a high price: his happiness.

The author tries to show that Tami can be a woman with two loves: she will know both the love of her life and the love for her life. The one who is best for her and with whom she will live her first experiences, and the one whose connection is most intense, obscure but not ready for her now. The fact is that both will be part of her story, and in their way will change her and be part of her life. Always and forever.

This is the first I've read from this series, and for a motorcycle romance, it lived up to all the expectations!

If you enjoy reading love triangles, you will NEED to get your hands on it. I completely forgot that this trope existed in this one, so when I finally got my hands on it, it took me by surprise. 

We follow a girl who is new to the club, and is captivated by two guys who finally take the plunge and go for her. Depending if you like the softer guys or the classic bad boys, you'll find one of them to really grab your heart. 

I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars. I loved the whole dynamic with the romance, but the plot did have that typical MC plot to it. Overall, it was an enjoyable read, and I recommend it if you like love triangles or MC romances!

Another great addition to this series. This is not a MFM book but a love triangle instead. Both Solo and Pawn want Tami but they are leaving it up to her to choose. They both want to spend time with her and be her first. Yes she is a virgin and has never even dated. She wants both of them but knows she must choose only one. How? Really one made it pretty easy for her.

The MC goes through a lot and they have someone around who has their sights set on taking them down. She doesn't get who she wants but she does cause extreme problems and one brother goes to jail. I don't think we have seen the last of this story of these three.

This is a beautiful story of friendship and love. I hated that she had to choose between them and I hurt for the one who didn’t get chosen. I hope things turn out for our other precious man. Tami is a real sweetheart.

This is a nice addition to the Battle Born series. This book is filled with love and heartbreak. We have sat back and watched how Pawn and Solo have wanted Tami from afar. In this book We get to see just how things fall into place. Now I know this book is primarily supposed to be about Tami and Solo, but we get some of Pawn as well.

Solo helps Tami come out of her shell. He shows her just what love is, and that he can be the man she needs. Tami is a sweet innocent young woman who hates to let anyone down, but has decided her happiness matters and she is going to find it. There are some wrenches that get thrown their way, but as they say as long as they are together they can get through anything.

The decisions that are made change the lives of everyone involved. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that when the time comes everything works out for Pawn.

I feel like this review does not do this book any justice. There is so much that happens within the pages of this book. I mean A LOT!!

Ok this is an updated review. This author is AMAZING!!! What started out as a novella she turned into a full blown book. If you have read any of this series then you know just how awesome these characters are.
When I started this book I went in with my eyes open, but will say getting more of Pawn's back story my heart hurt for him. I really began to understand why he is so tough around the edges. There were times I wanted to throat punch him for the things he would say to Tami. I understand why he did the things he did, but I didn't necessarily like them. I don't know if I should say this, but I am patiently waiting for his book. I just know that is going to be the book that Scarlett guts me with.

I loved this story, really !! For me, even if it's about love,this book is also about friendship and how this friendship evolved.
Pawn and Solo are best friends and I love the friendship they have together in the previous books.
In this book, their friendship is evolving to another level !! and for me, that was totally heartbroken, because in this book what they separately lived, make them grow up, and I loved it.
Cause when one of them will experiment a rough time.... His brothers are going to be there for him.
Tami is really shy at the beginning of the book and from each chapter, she's becoming more of the woman she is.
She's like a seed during chapter 1 for me, and then, at the end of the book, the seed became a really beautiful rose, who had learn to be who she is with the love of her man.
This book made me happy, he made me sad, mande me angry too, lol but on the end, the author did an awesome job with this story.

The new version of the book, wasn't what I was expected !! The first version was just awesome and great as a novella. Now, as a book, Tami changed, maybe too much, I kind of miss a little bit the innoncent Tami, I don't really like the new slutty Tami. She definitely know what she want, and she want sex... and the way she is with Solo and Pawn, for me, it feel like she just, want to get rid of her virginity and it doesn't matter with who. Suddenly she is kissing Solo and embracing him, hoping for some sex, but then she think of Pawn.... Same with Pawn, she's with him, kissing him, embracing him and want to have sex with him, but then she think of Solo and the way he was with her !! It's like Tami is ruled by her hormones. I really miss the old Tami, not a huge fan of this version of Tami.

Always & Forever was a thrilling 5 star read and book four in the Battle Born MC series.

Solo and Pawn have been watching Tami from afar for awhile now. They have both finally agreed to see who the better man is and start to pursue Tami and let her make her choice. They won’t share her so it will be up to her who she wants.

Tami has been watching and waiting for one of them to make their move. She’s lonely and wants someone in her life, it's about time they start to make their move. Each man has a different personality and boy are they both hot as heck. Solo was very open and shared his feelings openly with Tami. Pawn had a rougher edge about him. The things that they do to Tami to show her how they feel was steamy and hot.

And of course things can’t be that easy for them. There are a few twist and turns to add great elements to the story. My heart went out to the one that didn’t get chosen, I had my favorite and I couldn’t wait to see who was chosen. The way things went down really shocked me. I would love to see more from these characters, I feel like there is more to come. I look forward to reading more from this series and author. 1-click and get started today.

Hold on to your heart!!! This revision of Always & Forever by Scarlett Black will take you on one hell of an emotional ride as you get a better insight into the relationship between Pawn, Solo and Tami. We are given a better understanding of the demons Pawn has faced that led him to hurt the one woman that will hold his heart forever and break his bond with his brother Solo. Now the decisions he is forced to make will effect all three of them caused by deceit, betrayal and revenge as Pawn will make the ultimate sacrifice as he knows that having Tami in his life right now will destroy her, he needs to change before he can commit to her so he moves aside as Solo claims Tami. This was a hard one to read as we know what happens to this trio and wishing it was not so. This story had it all love, heartbreak and a bond that will last Always & Forever. The bond between this family that makes up the Battle Born MC is built on love and an unbreakable bond for this band off brothers. This soul-stirring story will leave you on edge from beginning to end as the reader is faced with the question of what is in store for Pawn and Tami. Can't wait for the next book, this is a must read and I highly recommend it to all Battle Born Bitches!!! I voluntairly reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

(4 stars)

Pawn and Solo have sat back and watched Tami. Giving her time, yet making sure at the same time no one stole her. Now if only they could decide who would get her. They both want her but don't want to lose each other as brothers in the process. Tami is lonely, and ready for something more in this life she is living. She wants someone who will take her and make her theirs with no questions asked. She knows that Pawn and Solo are both interested but no clue as to why neither of them have approached her yet. Finally the day comes, but Tami now has a bigger problem, which one to pick!

So for me this is the slow episode, where not much is happening but you need these details for the next one where things get explosive. I actually went into this hoping for something very different than what actually happened. So hot naughty bits, minus the one, loads of drama, and a bit of danger make up this story. This also has info from our beloved couples from previous books, and all I can say is that gestational diabetes is not as bad as it's portrayed in this story. All in all, I am a bit disappointed with the whole thing, I give this 4 stars as it still had the power to keep me reading and lets face it that's what really matters!

Another story in the Battle Born MC series and boy does it have a bang to it! There was so much to love about this book, I might write my own trying to list them all, so this will be my condensed version, LOL.

This is the story of Tami, Pawn and Solo. Tami was a wonderful character, shy and sweet, timid and tame. She was quite relatable. I loved her honest vibe and it was refreshing to have an honest female character for once. What was also wonderful was that she knew what she wanted… to be claimed and for the right reasons!

Pawn and Solo are close, best friends and MC brothers, they have learned that getting what you want isn't always easy or direct. I loved the balance they had together, but also their passion for Tami. I won't give any hints or spoilers, but will say I was VERY happy with the outcome.

As with the rest of the books in this series, this story had balance of action to the steam. I loved the choices the author made in regards to the both the story plot and the over all MC. Perfection.

I look forward to more stories in this series as these characters have become a favorite of mine. I love to envelop myself in this world and get lost. I suggest you read these books in order. I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.

Another great addition to the Battle Born MC series. The author has given us a very well written storyline with well defined characters. Defined to the point you can feel their emotions and their enter turmoil right along with them.

Tami is crazy about Solo and Pawn. The guys are best friend and brothers in the Battle Born MC and they both want to claim Tami. They agree to both see her and let her choose. But how does she make such a choice? How does she make one of the happy and destroy the other? How long can either man hold out without making his move?

The author takes us on a heartfelt ride as Tami, Pawn and Solo sort through their life and feelings. Choices are made - some in the heat of the moment, others with conscious thought. Which are right and which are wrong only time will tell (well and reading the book).

I highly recommend reading the book to get the answers. You won’t be sorry you did. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 emotional stars.

No spoilers but this book left me in tears. Scarlett Black knows how to give her readers a breathless and spellbinding story. Yes, my heart is broken for Pawn, he has a good heart but he needs help getting his act together. So very heart wrenching watching Tami, Solo, and Pawn trying to make things work. Can't wait to see what else is in store for these three.UPDATE: Scarlett Black has gone back into this book and added more background information of all three. It makes this a really more interesting read and still breaks your heart with the outcome of them. I totally recommend this book and the whole series.

This novella is packed full of details that set up the next full size book.
The premise is a love triangle between Tami, Pawn and Solo. It read a bit slow for me, i didn’t connect with the characters the way that I normally do with this author. I wasn’t rooting for one guy over the other, it didn’t really matter who Tami ended up with.
That said, it was nice to get a glimpse of previous characters and see how the Battle Born family is growing. Even though this wasn't my favorite book by Scarlett, it's definitely worth reading.

Looking forward to the next book, I can’t wait to spend some time with Tank.

Loved this book just as much as I have the others, the more Scarlett writes the more I feel I know everyone personally. The story line between Tami, Solo, and Pawn? I won't lie I'm team Pawn so I was hoping it worked out for him and Tami, but I think the story fit better this way. But in all..the sexual tension, and the overall anxiety over EVERYTHING that happens in this book and to who?? I FREAKING LOVED IT!!! Trust me and do yourself a favor and buy not only this book..but ALL of the Battle Born Series!!

MC love triangle? Yes, please!
Scarlett Black brings the heartbreak and emotions in this love story of two brothers by patch who fall for the same girl. While the suspense isn’t as high in this installment of the Battle Born MC the angst is ramped up with the agonizing decision this heroine needs to make. And a conclusion that though heartbreaking still brings hope! Four stars for Scarlett and excited for the continuation of this series!

This is the fourth book in this fantastic series. Tami has growth up and is ready to be claimed by one of the brothers. Pawn and Solo are best friends, and have been watching Tami for awhile, but who will make a move first? No spoilers; this is a must read series, as you will not be disappointed. This is a well written story which is steamy, heartbreaking, and about friendship and redemption. This talented author has the unique ability to just getting better and better, and I was intrigued and captivated throughout and I recommend for all MC lovers.

Wow this story has been building up for awhile and now we get it Pawn , Solo and Tami , she loves them both but Pawn keeps pushing her away and neither man wants to share .
When some things from Pawn's past come to light he has to make a decision that will change all their lives. Tami has to decide which man is for her and when she does she has to change into a whole different role in her life to help the one she didn't choose.
This story has so many twists and turns it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

Whoa buddy what a love triangle we get! Tami is being forced to choose between Solo and Pawn whether she wants to or not. The problem is that are so different from each other it is like night and day between the two of them. This makes for a great catch the girl style romance though that just heats up when you add the MC element to it as well. A perfect short escape for fans of the genre. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

The rewrite on this book is absolutely phenomenal! I loved this when it was first released, and was excited when Scarlett said she was adding to it. The complexity of what these characters goes through is insane and heart wrenching. Having read 5 & 6 and knowing what happens adds a whole other level to it. I honestly couldn’t put this down and fell in love with the characters even more so. Be prepared for laughs, cursing, crying, just all the emotions!

Solo and Pawn are playing a dangerous game of roulette. Tami. Both want this innocent woman but who will win?

My heart goes out to the loser and the things that he has to endure due to an unfortunate circumstance. Always & Forever.

If you love MC then you will definitely love Battle Born series! It gets under your skin.

Mystery, suspense, bitches without borders, heartbreak, romance, hot scenes and laughter.

I strongly recommend this series!

If you want a super hot but emotional read this is the book for you. Scarlett once again amazed me. This is one of those books where you go into it thinking one way and as the book continues her mastery in writing changes your mind. You go through all kinds of emotions while reading this. This is another perfect book in this unbelievable series. Every person who hasn't read this series needs to go right away and buy it. It's a not miss kind of series.

This story broke my heart, but also made me smile. Solo and Pawn have always been close, but they both have their eye on Tami. Tami is Young and inexperienced. All she knows is she is interested in both men. No matter who she chooses, someone is going to get hurt.
This book had me all in my feelings. I felt so happy for the one chosen, and my heart broke for the other. The letter she wrote at the end literally broke my heart.

Solo and Pawn two very different men with one goal in mind, claim Tami. Tami wants them both for different reasons, Solo seems to be every girls dream, sweet and romantic giving her exactly what she wants. Where Pawn is a bit different, he is trying to work thru his childhood, anger and a mess in his head. Two best friends who both love the same girl, and somehow it all works out the way it should in the end. Can't wait for more battle born boys
