REVIEW: FIXED FOREVER is the sixth instalment in Laurelin Paige’s contemporary adult FIXED erotic, romance series focusing on billionaire businessman Hudson Pierce, and his wife Alayna Withers-Pierce. FIXED FOREVER should not be read as a stand alone as many of the events in Fixed Forever are as of a direct result of events in the previous instalments. I recommend reading the series in order for backstory and cohesion especially as it pertains to Hudson and Alayna’s earlier relationship.
Told from dual first person points of view (Hudson and Alayna) FIXED FOREVER fast forwards the series several years, and focuses on the threats against billionaire businessman Hudson Pierce, and the woman he loves, his wife Alayna Withers-Pierce. Several months into her second pregnancy, threatening letters, of a personal nature, began to arrive from an unknown source. Trying to keep the letters a secret from his wife, Hudson hires more security in an attempt to alleviate the threats to his family but all does not go according to plan when, months later, Alayna discovers the truth and begins an investigation of her own. With Hudson’s colorful and deceitful past, any number of suspects are possible including the woman, Celia Werner, who helped mastermind the games Hudson played with so many lives.
FIXED FOREVER reveals the some of the questionable enterprises upon which Hudson (and Celia) embarked in an attempt to play their dangerous games of lies and deceit. Vengeance and retribution are but the tip of the iceberg, as Hudson and Alayna must delve deeper into the dark secrets of Hudson’s past, revealing the truth depth of depravity our hero had once journeyed, not only with Celia, but in his earlier years, as well. Issues of trust slowly eat away at the shaky foundation upon which their relationship is built but Hudson’s need to protect his family is first and foremost the most important issue on his mind.
Most of the previous story line couples (and characters) play secondary and supporting roles including Hudson’s brother Chandler and his fiancé Genevieve, as well as their sister Mirabelle; and Hudson’s PA Trish Bisceglia. We are reintroduced to Alayna’s nemesis, and Hudson’s former ‘partner’ Celia Werner, and her husband Edward Fasbender. Celia and Edward’s story is next with the release of SLAY book one, in the author’s spin off series the Slay Trilogy slated for June 2019. I will add that there is some confusion as it pertains to the similarity in names especially as it concerned Mira (Mirabelle), and Mina (Hudson and Alayna’s daughter), as well as Hudson, and his son Holden. The resemblance made for some confusing moments.
FIXED FOREVER is a story of betrayal, secret and lies; vengeance, jealousy, and retribution; romance, love, and a happily ever after. The premise is intriguing, suspenseful and captivating; the characters are familiar, colorful and charismatic; the romance is erotic, passionate and intense. Laurelin Paige writes an impassioned story about two people whose love for one another is tested, one betrayal at a time.

I trusted her to come back to me when she was through her anxiety.
Maybe that was the key. Maybe she wasn’t punishing me —but rather, was testing me. Seeing if I was capable of actually letting her go to work and not interfering. Not showing up, cold and demanding, when she lost track of time.
Because in truth, I was the one who wasn’t strong enough.
For all that I blamed her for giving in to her overactive mind, I was the one who worried too much. Who was overprotective. Who couldn’t handle the thought of her suffering, even only slightly. She was the one who alerted me to possibilities, her mind skittering from one thing to the next even as she stayed my rock.
The truth was, without me, Alayna was still brilliant and clever and lovely and big-hearted and enough.
But without her, I was nothing.
In 2013, Laurelin Paige self-published her first novel. Her husband was just laid off, she had three kids, one with special needs, and they had just filed for bankruptcy so she needed this novel to work. Less than 1 year later, her debut novel, Fixed on You, was at the top of the bestseller lists and was named one of the top ten selling books of 2014 by Publishers Weekly (the only self-published book to do so) and a Top Ten Favorite Read of 2014 by People Magazine. Her successive self-published novels have been smash hits with readers.
Laurelin Paige is the NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Fixed Trilogy. She’s a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters.
