Who doesnt love a wedding?, especially when we have seen the Character of Dani Jacobs having sone through so much in her short life, with losing Emmett and then finding Kyler.
All through this book Stefanie takes us down memory road of little things that have happened in Dani & Kylers romance and now we are here to help them finally get there happy ever after.
The Wedding was one that we all want to have had happen in our lives, or at least I wanted it to, the music, the Surprise "Dirty Dancing" Kyler and his Bro's performed, the rehersal dinner where the Lawson girls helped recap their brothers romance.
All through this novella Stefanie involved all her previous characters in this couples journey and the memory these two had of each individual.
the love Dani has for Kyler and kyler for Dani made my heart want to sing but their was that little piece still cracked and sad for Emmett. I loved how both Zach and Haylee both said their little bit about Emmett and then Dani herself explaining the difference in the love she had had for Emmett, and the one she now had with Kyler.
Once again Stefanie has thrown in a little teaser for us with the return of Finn, who we find out is, was and could still be the love of Lauren Lawson, twin to Kate and sister of Kyler.I for one cannot wait to see other characters in this series develop.
But I am sure this would not be the last we hear of Dani and Kyler. and I am so glad I found Stefanie and the "I Never.... series

I've read the other books in the series by this author and she totally blew me away and this book is no different, she will have you hooked right away. This is book three in this series and they are all fantastic. I love stories that follow on.

Book #1 I Never planned on you.
Book #2 I Never Expected You.
Book #2.5 I plan on Forever.

This book follows on with Dani and Kyler and their wedding watching them have their special day, their happy ever after especially after all they've been through.
I absolutley loved the wedding all the love and happiness and for the future.


I loved reading about these characters and also past characters.
The build up to the wedding and everything in between too.

This author writes brilliantly and really knows how to write her characters. I really like her style of writing and all the emotion that this author can make you feel through her words. I would recommend that you definitely read the other books in this series so you know where you are up to o familiarise yourself with the story. I can't wait to read the next instalment in this series, just like the other two books I couldn't put it down.

Thank You to the author and publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.
I Will be highly recommending this book when it gets released.

ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

This book is expected to be released 5th March 2020.

I've re-read this twice, because it. Is. Freaking. Amazing!! After crying my way through book 1, my heart swelling in book 2 and then happy crying my way through this novella...wow, I have no more tears left. Stefanie is a new to me author, and she made me feel emotions I've never felt reading a book! I'm not a regular cryer with books!😂 this novella was the perfect end to Dani & Kylers whirlwind romance. Loved the speech with the C Lymari quote..that got a giggle. The new characters had me curious, but very interested to find out more about Finn & his story🤞 These books prove that even when you are at your absolute lowest, there is always that special someone that picks you up and helps you find happiness again. Stefanie ensures that Emmett is never forgotten, and I truly adore that🥰

I love getting novellas for my favorite couples and that’s exactly what this is. But damn Stefanie for making me cry AGAIN with this book. That girl sure knows how to hit a person in the feels.

I will give her this, this wedding was one of my favorites I’ve been to!

Stefanie Jenkins has become one of my favorites! I absolutely fell in love with Dani and Kyler in I Never Planned on You then Zach and Hailey in I Never Expected You. Now in this novella we get to witness Dani and Kyler love for each other as they get married. And we get to see Zach and Hailey as pretty prominent characters and how they are as husband and wife and parents to a beautiful girl. I love that Emme is a daddy’s girl! This is a sweet, fun loving, sexy novella for those who fell in love with Dani and Kyler like I did. And if you haven’t read I Never Planned on You yet, what are you waiting for!? While reading this novella I probably had a constant smile on my face and I definitely got goosebumps a few times! I can’t wait to read about the Lawson twins...what’s the deal with Lauren and Finn and who is Kate going to meet!? I look forward to many more books by Stefanie Jenkins and getting lost in the world she creates with her writing.

I Never Planned On You

What a beautiful ending to Dani and Kyler’s love story but please don’t read this until you read I Never Planned On You. It was so nice to be a part of the families and friends of Kyler and Dani. To be with them as they all overcame their sadness and grief then finally came together to celebrate their love and happiness for an amazing couple. A really lovely read and no tissues needed this time and I absolutely loved that Emmett was acknowledged on Dani and Kyler’s special day.

I love Kyler and Dani! I fell in love with them both in I Never Planned on You and I'm so happy they finally get their happy ever after.

Danielle Jacobs had her world turned upside down while she was only seventeen. We watch her struggle with how to face her new reality, and lose herself in the process. Kyler Lawson walked into Dani's brother Zach's life at just the right time. Zach was struggling with the loss of not only his best friend but his sister too.

I love that during this happy time in Dani's life Haylee and the Hanks are always right there by her side reminding her it's ok to be happy, that Emmett would want her to be happy. I love that it's made ok for her to feel sad when she thinks about Emmett and happy to love Kyler and it still be ok. Just because she is sad about Emmett it doesn't mean she loves Kyler less, and loving Kyler doesn't make her wrong.

Jenkins packed this novella full of love, happiness, friendship, and hilarious moments. The connections that all of these characters have with each other is amazing. It doesn't matter if it's a Lawson, a Jacobs, a Hanks, or even friends, everyone just clicks together. I love the crossover with The Awakened characters.

Everything about I Plan on Forever is perfect!

Stefanie is just brillant. This woman's words are gold!
Dani and Kyler are just awwwww...
They seriously make me smile non stop while reading their stories.
Every chapter has me sunk from the get go and no matter what I love each and every word. Stefanie is a woman with a way to make the soul of her readers soar and the emotions flood out of you like a waterfall.
I love this woman and her amazingly-beautiful words. I can't get enough of this woman's stories.
If you do anything today pick up a Stefanie Jenkins book. Trust me you won't be disappointed and you will fall in love with her and her swoony as hell men.

A beautiful wedding to bring everyone together, and allow these two to finally get their happy ever after!

Through all of the heartache and pain, ups and downs I was beyond excited for this sweet story! Stefanie can bring you to your knees with tears and then give you this perfect ending! Such a well written series, it’s one that I have read and re read time and time again!

I can’t wait to see how Haylee and Zach’s story wraps up!

I think this novella was the perfect way to wrap up Dani and Ky’s story. They went through so much to get their forever and this book highlighted that perfectly. That doesn’t mean that Stefanie Jenkins didn’t have me tearing up a few times, man these characters make me so emotional! I can’t wait to continue to read about this amazing group of people, they never fail to make me laugh, cry and even sigh from all the sweetness. Oh my heart, such perfection.

I love Kyler so much, I wish I could have him in real life. These characters all feel so real to me and I have loved getting to know each and every other of them. The wedding was beautiful, no surprise there. The way Kyler healed Dani is beautiful. I cannot wait for Lauren and Kate to get HEA!

What a short sweet read after all this is a novella.
I'm so happy to see Dani get her happily ever after. I adore the love these characters have for their families and friends. The boys are hysterical. This is definitely a wedding you want to attend.
March 9, 2020
This novella was everything I wanted and more. This is the happily ever that both Kyler and Dani deserved. I was so happy to be thrown back into their world again and cry of happiness this time. I cannot wait to read more from Stefanie Jenkins. I was given an arc of this book to give an honest opinion and I highly recommend it to everyone but please read I never planned on you before this one.

Yes, she did it again, I cried happy tears with this book. Stefanie has a way with words that touch your soul. This novella follows the story of Kyler and Dani's story (you first met the couple on I Never Planned on You) and if you haven't read this yet, please do as soon as possible because the story it's magnificent. So my hearth is so so happy that I was able to catch up on one of my favorite couples, following the events of there wedding and their Happily Ever After.
Also there is some special guest appearances, we get to catch up on the craziness that are Kyler's sisters and feel all the love from Hails and Zach from I Never Expected You (book #2 in the series).
So please come and join the party #LAWSONWEDDING2020

OMG, I want a wedding like this.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novella, it was perfect in every way and made up for the heartache and emotional turmoil from book 1.
It was the perfect ending to Dani and Kyler's story...and it left me needing Lauren and Kate's books.

F**k me!!! This author gets me every single time.
She has such a way with her writing, her words make every hair on your body stand on end, your stomach turn over, and your heart stop for that brief second before the emotions she creates sock you straight in the gut.
Every feel imaginable is packed into the I Never series. For a novella you definitely don’t get short changed in any way shape or form.
The emotions you feel take you on one hell of a roller coaster ride, and make you feel part of the wedding that you never actually got an official invitation for.
Automatically one click her books. I’ve never been sorry and neither will you
