What comes after “they lived happily ever after?”

Maddy and Reid have seen their fair share of trials and tribulations, of love and loss. Facing down the biggest challenges of their young lives, they managed to survive and endure. With the future stretching out before them, they must learn to navigate new and unfamiliar paths.
Being new parents, starting new jobs, and continuing college is enough to overwhelm any couple. New challenges come up daily, as do small victories. Watch Maddy and Reid grow stronger together in this “one year later” tale of the everyday stuff that happens in real life.

With a solid foundation of love under their inexperienced feet – and with the help of their family and friends – Maddy and Reid learn how to let love shine, lighting the way for a beautiful future to come.

About the Author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book.  She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher.  Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it's been a dream.

Her passion for writing didn't start until more recently.  When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it.  It wasn't long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa's brain and The Love Series was born.    Web - melissacollinsauthor.comFacebook - facebook.com/melissacollins.authorTwitter - @mcollinsauthor

5.0 out of 5 stars Melissa did not let me down with this novella!
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014

In this short book you will read the life of Reid and Maddy after all the struggle they went through they are finally forming that family they always wish they had and found in each other.

It was good to read about Melanie, Bryan, Momma and Evan (can't wait to read Let Love Be, Momma and Evan books), to know they are all happy is just amazing!

I am not gonna lie it was sad to say goodbye to them, because I really do love Maddy and Reid and they are one of those couples that will be in my heart forever, but it was a beautiful way to say goodbye. Fine we might read about them in future books of this serie, but never as much as in their on books.

Congratulations Melissa it was an awesome book and I love every second of it <3

5+ stars!!

4.0 out of 5 stars More Maddy & Reid
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2014

This was a short and sweet novella.

We got more Maddy & Reid (who are my favorite couple in this series- so far). I enjoyed catching up with what had been happening with them since Maddy had the baby. It was so sweet the way Reid doted on Braden and Maddy. He truly became the man I knew he could be when I first met him in Let Love In. He was so devoted to his work at the center and his willingness to go out of the way for those kids showed just how much he has grown.

I loved that we got to watch both characters develop into the parents they didn't think they could be. The diaper changing scene in the beginning had me in fits. There is just something about a baby and new parents that makes you smile.

Overall, it was a light and easy enjoyable read. There was the typical Melissa Collins sweetness and steam but there was also a but of mystery thrown in as well. It also set up another possible spin off to the series (but no spoilers on that one- I'll just have to wait and see if I'm right).

If you love, The Love Series by Melissa Collins you will love this story. It's continues the story of Reid and Maddy. It's start with the birth of their son Braden. It follows them as young adults. We also see the struggles Maddy goes through as a young mother. It sweet, refreshing, drama free and has great love scenes. I love their happily ever after. It also lets us catch up with our other favorite characters. Another great job Melissa and I can't wait to read Momma and Evan's story!!

3.0 out of 5 stars not the best in series
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2014

This was the last of the story of Reid and Maddy. It was very short, which they warned us. But overall the story was just ok. The first two books were sensational.

This one seemed to just focus on drawn out love scenes. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good passionate love scene. But these scenes were sometimes several pages long. And for such a short book, it just seemed like that's all there was.

In the first two books about Reid and Maddy, the love scenes were an added bonus. I love how sweet Reid was to Maddy. I loved getting to see the ending of their story. I definitely love these characters.

I think I just may regret buying such a short book. Sometimes there needs to be a little drama in order to enjoy the love scene. Now there were a couple of great scenes in the story. And after you read the first two books you may feel like you have to see Reid and Maddys story end. But I don't think that you will be missing much.

So overall, the last book was just ok. I don't recommend the last book unless you just have to see the end of their story. I highly recommend the other books in the series. Even the stand alone about Maddys friend, Melanie was good.

I am sooooo happy that we got another story of Maddie and Reid that shows the realities of having children during that specific stage in one's life. It's beyond difficult when they're trying to grow up, discover things about themselves much less their partner and then you add in college and a baby and it's OVERWHELMING if you don't have a great support system. I loved ALL of the books and wish that the author would write more of them because I miss them!!!!

I enjoyed the addition to the story and the different POVs provided were ok. I don't think they were all that necessary but it didn't take the star of from being 5 stars. The Q&A at the end is what did it for me. I guess I am not really into that kind of thing on a fictional character.
The story ended well and I was very happy with how it all came together.

This novella follows up with Maddy and Reid one year later and it is wonderful addition to their story, so happy I found this series after all 3 books were published so I could read them consecutively. I really loved this sexy, sweet, romance and seeing how these characters grow and change throughout this series of books. They are truly lovely. I loved it.

So we get to see How Reid and Maddy are getting on.

We have moved on a year, and get to share their trials and tribulations of a new marriage, new baby, new careers and college to boot!

The pair of them have taken on a lot, but they are managing to juggle everything nicely!

Maddy has body issues and Reid does everything in his power to convince her she is just as beautiful in not more so!

Their love just gets stronger! Loved catching up if somewhat briefly with Mel and Bryan, so glad they made it! and of course Momma and Evan!

I really like Dylan, perhaps he deserves some happiness but I guess that another story! (heres hoping! LOL)
