Love bytes is delighted and honored to have been asked to show you the Exclusive cover of Miss Alexa Land her upcoming book in the succesfull First & Forever series: “All I Ever Wanted”.
Alexa reveals to us the love interested of River in the guestpost introducing the cover and she brought along a fantastic giveaway!
Welcome Alexa 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, and thank you to Dani and Love Bytes Reviews for hosting the cover reveal of All I Ever Wanted! Book #14 in my Firsts and Forever Series should be out in late May, and it’s River’s story. His HEA has been a long time coming! As you may remember, he’s Skye’s big brother, and we got to know him in Skye Blue (book #6) and in several books since then.
All I Ever Wanted is a second chance romance. Earlier in the series, River’s relationship with his boyfriend Cole ended with a lot of tears and heartbreak. In the upcoming book, they’ve been apart for a year, yet neither of them has been able to move on, because they’re still in love with each other.
The road back together won’t be an easy one. They have to learn to work through their problems and let go of a lot of fear and insecurity. As I’ve been writing their story, River and Cole have been surprising me in the best possible way. Their love for each other is so strong, and their attraction is undeniable. But they’re scared, too. They were devastated when their relationship ended, and both men worry about what it’ll do to them if it all falls apart again. Yet they’re drawn together, despite their past, despite everything.
This is the first time I’ve written a second chance romance, and I’m so excited to bring you All I Ever Wanted! As always, a lot of the Firsts and Forever family are coming along for the ride, including Nana Dombruso. And I can’t wait to introduce you to a couple new characters, including a hilarious, free-spirited dancer named Quinn and a firefighter named Dylan, whose story will break your heart. I know you’ll love these men as much as I do.
Several months ago, I asked my Firsts and Forever Facebook group if they thought River and Cole should get back together, and several readers who participated in the survey said no. That kind of surprised me, but I then thought: challenge accepted! The upcoming book will make you believe in this couple and root for them just like I do. Despite the mistakes of their past and all the obstacles ahead of them, River and Cole are going to prove love really does conquer all.
So here we go!

I’m a true believer in happily ever after, and writing is my passion. My character driven books include the best-selling Firsts and Forever Series, which is set in San Francisco. I grew up in Southern California, spent over a decade in the Bay Area, and now call a small town in Oregon home. My son and I share a vintage cottage with an indifferent cat and a hyper dog, and I spend my days writing about men falling in love. My books will make you laugh and shed an occasional tear, and they always deliver a satisfying HEA.

Wow, cover for book #14! Congratulations, Alexa. I think I’ve only read book #1 of the series so far [sheepish smile] but in my defense, the speed of books-releases exceed my reading power severely, LOL. But that one gorgeous smile to have on your book cover! Really nice, indeed.

That smile is SO GORGEOUS. It makes me want to immediately smile back at him 🙂

The cover of this book is to dye for. He has a gorgeous smile. Looking forward to reading about River and Cole and of course Nana. She is the best.

About time. 😉
There was a group poll about River & Cole’s reunion? *gasp* How on Earth did I not know that?! :O
Anyway, the cover’s lovely. He’s exactly how I’ve imagined River. And the title’s badass. I love it, Miss Alexa! <3

:)) I didn’t know about it either. Went and searched for it, it was before my joining the group :)))
The cover model has beautiful eyes & smile! Thanks for the reveal.
legacylandlisa(at)gmail(dot)com
The cover is gorgeous! And because of the book’s name, Depeche Mode is in my head again :)))
Congrats on the book cover, I can see River now. Lol. Oh wow, I never thought of a 2nd chance for River and Cole because of obvious reasons. River couldn’t take the fighting constantly and that was the only way Cole learned to communicate basically. I’m glad they are getting a 2nd chance. Oh wow. Looks like I have to start reading from the beginning again. Lol. ❤
I am so excited! I can’t wait to get the book when it comes out!
He’s cute! I love his smile, it’s so welcoming. I can’t wait for it!

I love the cover! And I’m glad you decided to do a second chance story. Technically my husband and I are a 2nd chance story. We were together, had a short break up and got back together and have been married now for 24 years. If you are meant to be 2nd chances are worth it!
Congratulations on book 14. Can’t wait to see how the second chance works out.

Sigh … Can’t wait to read it. [email protected]
I absolutely adore your First and Forever Series. I’ve re-read them a dozen times. Each couple is unique and fantastic. And Nana is by far one of my favorite characters. I can’t WAIT to see what she’s up to next.
I have to admit I love the series and book 2 is still my favorite! But I am not a Cole fan and had hoped River would find someone better…so I am one of the ones to be won over😊
Congrats and thanks for the post. I love that smile, makes me think there’s more of that inside. –

Thank you everyone for all the positive comments! I really appreciate it!
I’m leaving this comment for Shannon M Brott to get her name in the drawing, since she was unable to post. Good luck, Shannon! 🙂
So glad River and Cole get their second chanced!
Beautiful cover! His smile goes all the way to his eyes. ❤ I always hold out hope that people can overcome their problems and make a go of relationships. It is devastating that we live in such a disposable society where people are not willing to forgive mistakes. I am eager to read how Alexa brings River and Cole back together.
Thanks for the chance.
I’m so excited to read Trevor and Cole’s reunion. It was love at first sight and I couldn’t imagine them not getting back together. The cover is gorgeous. Congrats Alexa!!
OMG can not wait River and Cole to get their hea!! Love that you put them back together!!
Wow I love the cover and I’m so excited to read this story…I love both River and Cole and I was definitely rooting for them to get back together… Can’t wait!!
I LOVE this cover. It’s how I’ve always pictured River. Cole better work hard to redeem himself! River’s a keeper.
Another beautiful cover. I am excited to read this.
Beautiful cover! Beautiful man! Cannot wait for this book ❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy that Cole and River get a second chance. They deserve to be happy 😊 I looooooove the cover for this one. I can finally put a face to the name ☺️

Gorgeous cover!! I can’t think of a reason why River & Cole shouldn’t get another chance. I was sad when they broke up, even though they never had much “page time”. They deserve to become MCs and I’m looking forward to reading their story!
OMG, his smile… thing of beauty…
