Music is his passion. It’s in his blood. Yet, Quinn James isn’t sure if stardom is right for him. His family wants him to join a band, and follow in his father’s footsteps but fear holds him back. He can’t explain it, and when he tries, no one understands what he’s afraid of or why he’s content playing coffee shop gigs where no one knows him.

Eleanora Boone wants to live her life, not the one her very southern parents planned for her, which is why she chose a college thousands of miles away. Now she’s faced with returning home or doing something that would defy her family. When an opportunity to visit Los Angeles falls in her lap, she uses it to become someone different.

California is everything Eleanora thought it would be, and even more so when she meets Quinn, the shy, reserved and brooding musician who’s the complete opposite of the guys she’s used to back home. 

For the first time, Quinn’s smitten. The new, mysterious waitress has him wrapped around her finger, and he finds that he is finally able to open up and trust someone outside of his family circle. 

But living a different life comes with its risks, and for Eleanora, that risk is a secret that has the power to destroy both of them.










Chasing My Forever, is the third title in The Beaumont Series: Next Generation, featuring the last of the three James siblings Quinn. I would highly recommend reading the original Beaumont series, and the previous titles in this spin off series featuring the next generation, prior to reading this title. For anyone who is familiar with the original Beaumont series, you will recognise Quinn the son of Harisson and Katelyn who appeared in My Unexpected Forever, as he has appeared frequently within all the previous titles.

Quinn James is sweet, shy, quiet, sensitive. He’s the reserved one in a large boisterous family, full of famous personalities. Quinn enjoys his solitude and much prefers to hide in the shadow far from the notoriety that comes from being the son of a famous drummer. Quinn is a complex character who struggles with his own desires, those of his family and fears the ramifications of being in the public eye.

Eleanora is desperate to escape the expectations and pressures of her family and seeks a short burst of freedom with one of her college roommates, where she goes by the alias of Nola.

The relationship between Nola and Quinn is slow, but authentic when you take into account Quinn’s reserved personality. Their interactions are heart-warming, sweet and emotional.

I loved seeing so many familiar characters in this title, and adored the relationship and special bond that Quinn and his adoptive mother Katelyn share.

I thoroughly enjoyed this title, and will be eagerly awaiting future additions to The Beaumont Series: Next Generation and the ending just left me wanting more of not only Eleanora and Quinn, but the other James siblings.
