For Your Forever by Crea Reitan
4.25

For Your Forever is a super sweet story of Vulcan finding his happily ever after. As a man in his forties, he feels like he's spent too much of his life trying to find the one. He's had his heart broken so many times in the past. He's a huge bear of a man and a blacksmith, but he's also soft-spoken and wears lace, frills, pink, unicorns, skirts, and the like. He's spent his life being insulted and humiliated by people he's tried to date and even bullied by his brother.

Luca, unlike the other men Vulcan has experience with, falls instantly in love with Vulcan. Luca has such a huge capacity for love, and he accepts and cherishes Vulcan exactly as he is. Luca also happens to be in an open and polyamorous relationship, and he's certain that his three men (Orson, Wren, and Zvi) will love Vulcan just as much as he does. All four of these men are much younger than Vulcan, but they've gained maturity through life experiences and are just the perfect men to spoil and comfort their princess.

What I loved about the dynamic between all five of them (but especially the four that were in a relationship before the book started) is that it highlights that there can be many different types of love in a polyamorous relationship, and not every connection needs to be sexual all the time (although there's nothing wrong with that either).

I found Vulcan to be so sweet and lovable that I was drawn into the emotion of the book from the very first page; I could definitely understand the instalove felt between the four men when they each met Vulcan. Vulcan is just such a precious, innocent soul that you can't help but feel like he deserves all the love. And it ends up that he hasn't been missing out on the one, but instead he's been waiting for his four.

This is book 4 in a series but can be read standalone. As with other Crea Reitan books, there is a large cast of characters that may or may not show up in other books, but I don't find it difficult to keep track of them. It is just a wild and full universe that the author has created. :)
