Filthy Beautiful Forever (Filthy Beautiful Lies Book 4)

I love this series. The Drake boys are amazing and all picked amazing women to be with. I love how this story turned out.

I have been anxiously waiting for this one since I binge read the first three books back in November. I love the Drake brothers so when I saw this on my kindle yesterday morning I jumped right in. I couldn’t wait to see what was in story for Collins Drake.Collins Drake likes control and order in his life. He doesn’t like to feel unprepared or at a loss, so he takes all necessary steps to ensure order is maintained. He lives in his beautiful home, runs his successful company, and is in a three year relationship with a supermodel. It appears everything is going according to plan until his first love returns - Mia.Mia has pretty much hit rock bottom. She has been framed by her former boss for embezzlement, so she is jobless, homeless, and broke. They say when you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up, so Mia decides to go out on a limb and see her former best friend, the guy she had a secret crush on her whole childhood, Collins Drake.Mia and Collins are not your typical love story. No they fell in love as children, at five years old they developed a bond and it continued to grow up until the point Mia’s family moved away when they were fifteen. Before moving away Collins and Mia pinky promised if they weren’t married by time they were thirty they would marry each other.A lot can change in fifteen years, but sometimes things stay the same. That is the case when Mia and Collins reconnect. While their appearances have changed they still share the same unique connection. Things can’t be that simple though, Collins is still dating his long time girlfriend and Mia isn’t exactly in the best place. Finally, despite their best efforts Mia and Collins are not able to withstand each other.I love stories of friends to lovers, especially when the friendship is formed at a young age with such innocence. Collins loved Mia, he protected her because she was his heart, his soulmate. When bonds are formed under those circumstances they are forever. Time can’t erase true love and friendship.This story is a crazy quick read and I actually love quick reads, especially when they come with tons of steam. The downfall to writing a book about a couple I love is I just want more and more. While I can appreciate the lack of drama just for the sake of drama, I wanted more from these two. I wanted more background and to see things play out. I wanted to feel more of a connection between Collins and Mia, and while I enjoyed the story I didn’t fall head over heals in love with it.I do highly recommend this one, if you are fan of the series. I loved catching up with the other Drake brother’s families and seeing how things were going. I am sad to see this end, even if I was late to the party.

Collins is the oldest of the three Drake brothers has held that role and it's responsibility since their mother's death. He is meticulous, he gets whatever he sets his mind to and is always in control of every area of his life. He has a beautiful super model girlfriend Tatianna, that meet his physical needs, so what more could he want. However, Collins is bored and no longer is satisfied, the only satisfactions comes from being CEO of his own Financial business. That is until one day he gets a visitor that upset his quite control world.Mia Monroe is Collins childhood friend since the age of 5, Collins best friend. Family decides to move away at the age of 15 yrs old but that night before she left they gave each other the only thing no one else had, their virginity. Mia never saw Collins again. Well that is until she lost her job and decided to cash in on a promise her best friend Collin made to her at the age of 10. If they were not married by the age of 30 they would marry each other. Well image when Mia shows up on Collins door stop unannounced the careful controlled Collins Drake don't know what to do. It is obvious Collins has not forgotten his friend Mia (Gremlin) but what will he do because he is now with Tatianna... This was a great ending to the series Collins Drake made me swoon and turns out to be the best Drake brother.

Oh how I love the Drake Brothers!!!!! I wish they were real and not fictional :) They are the reason why I love Kendall Ryan's books. She is able to create Heroes that I want to be real. I think every Hero she has created has made my book boyfriend list. I also love her writing style.As I started this book I was a little nervous….it was going in the direction of two themes that are hard limits for me….(cheating and a love triangle) I will say that yes this book does have a love triangle but it doesn't last the whole book. As for the cheating…..this is a fine line here. (view spoiler) What happens in this book to me was minor and it really didn't bother me. I think it helped that after the minor occurrence both Mia and Collins realize that they need to put on the brakes until he ends his current relationship.What made me fall in love with this book besides that it's a Kendall Ryan book was that it is a second chance romance. This is the fourth and final book in the Filthy Beautiful Lies Series and focuses on Mia and Collins. Collins is the oldest of the Drake Brothers. He is one who is always in control of life and every facet of his life, kind of just going through the motions and not really living. That is until his childhood friend Mia bounces back into his life, by showing up unannounced on his doorstep. What I loved about Mia was that she was so fun and carefree, she was the opposite of Collins but she complimented him so well. I was glad we got to see a fun and sexy side of Collins as the story went on. I will say the only thing that really bugged me about Collins was that he was kind of wishy washy when it came to his feelings for Mia and what to do about Tatianna. I was expecting him to be a little stronger when it came to this then he was. This in NO WAY deterred my enjoyment of this book!!!!I am sad to see this series come to an end, but I thought the way Kendall ended this book was perfection. I loved the epilogue. To be honest I thought this was just a sweet and romantic story not a lot of drama to mess things up. I am for sure going to miss the Drake Brothers and will definitely be rereading this series again in the future.I would 100% recommend this series!!!

I enjoyed this story of Collins Drake and Mia. I enjoyed their journey to them all finding their happy ever afters.

Collins and Mia make the perfect couple. Collins current girlfriend is a high maintenance control freak model their relationship is lacking and he isn't even sure he wants to be with her until his first love walks in his front door and opens up his worls. Collins story is just as fulfilling as his brothers stories are.

Loved it!

Oh my god I loved this, seeing the way Collins' Best Friend Mia from the age of 5-15 until she had to move away, turn up and says she's come to correct on his promise at the age of 10. She was his first Love and first sexual relationship on the eve of her leaving.He's in the relationship he's been ummming and arring about splitting with, her for a while, but having Mia back in his life has made him remember who he was and he's living being that person again, especially having his TRUE LOVE back into his life and seeing her 'Gremlin Book' with all her wants & their memories together, makes him realise he wants to spend the rest of their lives together. In the end we see ALL 3 BROTHERS, settled down and starting to have a family of their ownBLISS 💏💞💒💚💕💞💏

Sorry, but after the first three books in this series which were good, this was a complete let down.It was sickly sweet, over simplistic, dull, unrealistic & downright boring. I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but it was such a disappointment. Mia was too good to be true, as was Collins. Nothing happened!I like feisty heroines & a really good story. This could have been a Mills & Boon book if the swear words were removed. It was not what I expected after the first three books.
