**A Secret Series Novella**

After five years of marriage, Ella couldn’t be happier. Her job is great. Her marriage is amazing. But when she receives some surprising news, her world is turned upside down. Micha loves being a musician, but being on the road, and away from Ella, is difficult. When the industry begins to put pressure on him to change his image, he makes a choice; one he fears is going to drastically change Ella’s and his future forever. That is until he learns Ella has a secret, one that makes his career choice seem hugely insignificant.

A slow breath eases from his lips as his gaze collides with mine. “Sorry. I’m being a downer, aren’t I?” He leans toward me, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. “That isn’t fair to you after you flew across the country to see me.” “Micha, you should know by now”—I press my lips together, trying not to laugh as I prepare to quote a line from one of his songs—“that I would travel to hell and back just to be with you.” “Ha, ha,” he says playfully, sticking out his tongue. “You wound my heart, Ella May. I wrote those lyrics for you and you mock me with them.” “I’m not mocking, just having fun—” He cuts me off as he nips at my bottom lip, eliciting a soul-bearing groan from me. He slowly starts unbuttoning my shirt, picking up the pace the farther down he gets until he finally becomes so impatient he rips the fabric off. “I miss your kisses the most.” I willingly lean against the piano as he unfastens my bra and urges me back. He quickly stands up to tug his shirt over his head and then places an arm on each side of me as his body hovers over mine. “I miss everything the most,” he says before he kisses me. “All the fucking time. I swear to God, I need to see you more.” My legs fasten around his waist as the ivory keys dig into my flesh. My fingers trace the outlines of his muscular stomach, the inscription of his tattoos, feeling his heart slamming erratically against his chest. Excitement bursts to the surface when he pushes back to undo the button on my jeans. “Micha, wait.” I pant. “Are we really going to do this?” “Do what?” He teases me with a cock of his brow as he gradually unzips my jeans. I kick off my shoes while I gasp for air. “Have sex on a piano.” He pulls my jeans and panties off, his passionate gaze skimming every inch of my flesh, stifling my eager body with overpowering heat. “You sound so excited about the idea,” he says as I reach for the top of his pants and unflick the button. “I’ll take it wherever I can get it.” I sit up and yank his jeans down. “Besides, we can add it to our growing list of strange places we’ve had sex. I think this one might earn the number three spot, right below backstage at a concert, wrapped in the curtain.” Instead of smiling, his happiness falters. “I promise I’m going to find a way to change all this, pretty girl. You deserve so much better than this.”

Ella and Micha: Infinitely and Always by Jessica Sorensen is the perfect conclusion to the series about a couple who has surpassed the obstacles that stood in the way of them being together; both mental and actual obstacles. The conclusion to their story wasn't the cookie cutter happily ever after that you normally expect from a book, but that is what made me love it even more; it was realistic and relatable. The story was told in a way that only Jessica Sorensen can and I give this novella 3.5 stars! I urge everyone to read this entire series as you will not be disappointed.

The reader is given a glimpse into Ella and Micha's life after five years of marriage and with new situations that arise to make them questions themselves and the stability of their relationship. Micha has been touring with his band for many years now, but when his label begins to urge him to go in a different direction artistically he finds it hard to comply and ponders the fate of his career. Ella has opened her own art gallery and she still paints to deal with her emotions; both good and bad. Micha is ready for the next step in their relationship, to start a family, but Ella is unsure how she feels about children given her upbringing. She doesn't know if she can be a mother. It's amazing how quickly one can comes to terms with such a huge decision when there is no choice to be made.

I also loved that you saw the progression of Lila and Ethan's relationship from an outside perspective in this book. It was great that the best friends lived next door to each other and still had each other's backs no matter what was thrown their way. To see how Lila and Ethan loved each other without question, almost accepting the limitations of the other in order to remain in their relationship was heartwarming!
