What is Forever?

Joel McIver asks and answers the question "What is Forever?" in his sparkling debut novel named, aptly, after that very question. McIver's writing is crisp, clear. His characters real. WHAT IS FOREVER? is filled with profound thoughts and expressions, snappy dialogue, and a balance of laugh-out-loud and tender moments. At heart, it is the story of three women from different backgrounds, their individual problems and concerns, and the one thread that connects them together...Damon Black. Alexis is beautiful, sophisticated, and on a "drama-free" diet. Her life is orderly, neat, and free of conflict. And yet loving Damon presents her with just the drama and conflict she's always avoided. Can she learn to put up with his "other women"? Keisha is the mother of Damon's daughter and therefore will always be a part of his life. She's down-to-earth, wise in her own way, but mired in a rut she hasn't been able to escape since her breakup with Damon. Can she rise from the ashes of their broken relationship and move to a better life for herself? Tara, from the moment she met Damon, was fragile and in need of a protector. Damon, being a gentleman, stepped in and offered her friendship and the promise of much more. But circumstances separated them. Now, Tara's back to collect on Damon's promise, to find that he's in love with another instead. Can she accept Damon's love for Alexis and find a soul stirring love of her own? These questions and more are answered in a stunning finale that will leave you breathless. WHAT IS FOREVER? is a wonderful read. Joel McIver is one to watch. Excellent.

Romance and yet not corny!

This is the type of book that has it all! Romance for the ladies and enough drama to keep an O.G like me happy! Mr. McIver has penned a novel that really trancends the genre! In fact it's given me a few ideas for ways to pick up ladies! A very good summer beach read!

Love By Infinite Measures

Love is a term of endearment often synonymous with forever. It is an overwhelming emotion which consumes us when we encounter that special someone who will enlighten us to something greater than ourselves. It is the fire burning deep within our soulful dimensions; one in which we never knew existed. When such a love is discovered, we pray for the one thing that cannot be guaranteed - forever. What is forever? The answer to that question is revealed in the thought-provoking debut novel by the same title. For three women of completely opposite backgrounds and lifestyles, forever begins and ends with-Damon Black. Damon Black, an independent, socially conscious man who believes in doing the right thing. His exceptional charm and winning smile pale in comparison to the radiant beauty of his heart. A single father, soon to be husband, and true friend, Damon is a chameleon, morphing into whatever a soul needs him to be.Keisha is an around the way girl far more capable than she gives herself credit for. A single mother and former love interest of Damon, theirs is a relationship which defies the classic baby mama drama syndrome. What Keisha lacks is confidence in her abilities to recover from a haunted past. Her inability to cope with the regrets of yesterday serve only to prevent future growth; until she discovers the regret consuming her is the very substance condemning her. Tara, unmistakably beautiful and possessing the potential which can propel her career and jumpstart her life, lacks the essence of what she needs most - the ability to self-validate while not concerning herself with the approval of others. Damon takes Tara by the hand and guides her to a new life; one that shows promise of a future together.Finally, there is Alexis. Self-made, successful business owner, and highly self-confident woman with amazing features, she is mesmerizing to any man's eyes and has the inner beauty to match. Both drama and worry free, Alexis has won the heart of Damon and is on her way to becoming Mrs. Damon Black...until she discovers her near perfection is somewhat flawed by a small veil of jealousy.. Alexis realizes she loathes the very thing she loves most about Damon - his heart. What happens when a ring of love centered around one man comes full circle? "What is Forever?" tells the story of three amazing women permanently affected by the tenderness of one phenomenal man. Joel McIver has skillfully crafted a novel full of intrigue, suspense and romance. The depth and scope of Joel McIver's debut effort represents his distinctive voice. "What is Forever?" will ensnare the emotions of its readers until the very last word in this romantic tale with a shocking twist. For the women in Damon's life, the answer to the age old question what is forever is revealed.-Collier Lunn, founder of NaMari PublishingFlavah Reviewer
