REVIEW:   FINDING FOREVER is the seventh full-length instalment in Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott’s contemporary adult FOUND IN OBLIVION rock star, romance series focusing on the rock band Warning Sign. FINDING FOREVER follows two couples we have met previously (Mal Shawcross and Ricki aka Elle Crandall in Raw Rhythm / Jules Reece and Tristan Eves in Triple Trouble) as they struggle to move past the ‘accident’ that is slowly pulling apart the band, and took the life of someone they loved. FINDING FOREVER should not be read as a stand alone as there is a continuing premise that addresses the fragile relationships between the members of the band. The FOUND IN OBLIVION series is a spin off from Quinn and Elliott’s LOST IN OBLIVION series. Several characters from LIO cross over for cohesion and continuity, as well as a quick peak into the authors’ upcoming series spin-off MADE IN OBLIVION focusing on the rock band Brooklyn Dawn.

Told from four third-person perspectives including Ricki, Mal, Jules and Tristan, FINDING FOREVER focuses on grief, forgiveness, healing and love. The once tight-knit members of Warning Sign are about to face their greatest fears as they step onto the stage for the first time in six months following the accident that all but destroyed the band and their lives. While Jules and Tristan struggle to move forward, Mal is consumed with the knowledge that he had to make a choice and not everyone is happy with the choices he made. Hoping to find his own happily ever after Mal is desperate to prove he is worthy of Elle Crandall’s love.

Juliet Reece battles the all-consuming grief of death and loss but her inability to let go is destroying her relationship with Tristan Eves, the man who is willing to sacrifice everything to keep his small family together-forever.

The friendships and relationships between the members of the band are nearing the breaking point as Jules is unable to forgive and forget, and Mal’s mood swings continue to push everyone beyond their limits. The potential to co-headline an upcoming tour forces Jules and Tristan, as well as Mal and Ricki to take a deeper look into their partnerships, to ensure everyone gets their happily ever after.

There are numerous colorful secondary and supporting characters including all of the members of the rock band Warning Sign and their significant others-Michael, Chloe, West and Lo, Ethan, Luc and Molly; Hammered’s lead singer Hunter Jordan, and his brother, security specialist Noah; Brooklyn Dawn’s Lindsey York, Jamie DuCaine and record producer Alex Nash; and several members of the band Oblivion including Simon and Margo, Nick and Lila, as well as Ricki’s best friend Teagan Daly, who is about to join Brooklyn Dawn. Lindsey and Alex’s story is next in Play Dirty, the first instalment in the authors’ new Made in Oblivion series.

FINDING FOREVER is a story of family, friendships, strength and bond. The detailed and revealing premise is realistic and energetic; the characters are tenacious, sassy, spirited and flawed. FINDING FOREVER is an inviting, passionate and emotionally satisfying story –here’s hoping for continuing updates throughout the new series.
