Zach: Torey Hope, The Later Years (Torey Hope: The Later Years Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 41 ratings

The perfect love. The perfect plan. Unfortunately, life is never perfect and it rarely goes as planned...
The quintessential hometown girl, Zoey Martin is brilliant, beautiful, and down-to-earth. Her lifelong plans have always included the one and only boy she’s ever loved.
Now that he’s the advertising director of the family business, level-headed Zach Morgan knows what he wants. Too bad the love of his life is five years younger and has grown up as his cousin. Although they aren’t technically related, there’s no getting around the age difference, and they must be patient while their close, loving, friendship blossoms into romance.
Inseparable childhood pals Zach and Zoey faced the obstacles of their relationship head on and made plans for their perfect future, only to discover that living and loving in an imperfect reality is messy, hard, and painful.
Will their forever love be enough to earn their happily ever after? Or will the weight of real life deny them their happy ending?
**Zach and Zoey’s story is meant for ages 18+ due to adult language, themes, and situations.**

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Escape into addictive, sexy, emotional M/M romance.

A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana as an instructional coach/teacher in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing teens, and wondering how she and her husband of over two decades haven't driven each other insane yet. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.

She loves chocolate, hot tea, sweet wine with friends, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don’t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.

A.D. uses she/they pronouns.

    Zach was one of my most anticipated stories in 2015. I love A.D. Ellis's writing style & her stories of Torey Hope! Zach & Zoey's connection is felt very deeply throughout the story, and it was nice to see snippets of them growing up, to see how their relationship evolved & the care Zach, as the oldest, took to maintain the right type of relationship at every turn. And Kendrick! Oh, my heart is ripping apart for him & I'm really looking forward to his story - which is now a highly anticipated part of my 2016 book list!! : ) I also liked the direction the bad/potential bad guy thing worked out. Thumbs up!! : )

    I loved the original Torey Hope books and the later years have just been amazing. A.D. Ellis did Zach and Zoey proud in their story.

    Here we catch up with Zach and Zoey. I love how we get snippets of their early years. Of their connection and love. How even if the family did not always understand, always stood by them.

    Then we pick up right where we left off. The Morgan's, Decker's, Jordan's and Martin's are as close as always and always stand by each other, even when they do not always agree, but love and family always comes first.

    Zach and Zoey are finally at the right moment in time to take their relationship to the next level, finally, but how will their family and friends react? They are not technically family, but have grown up as cousins. There is still the 5-year difference, dreams and futures to deal with. Can they stand together through it all?

    Can they survive? Is their love everlasting? What can threaten their future? Their love?

    So worth the read to find out. Both the original seires and the later years are so worth the read! You can't help but to love these families and wanting to make them your own.

    Happy reading!

    I'm loving Torey Hope The Later Years series. A.D. Ellis has done it again & what an amazing story. Zach & Zoey had a bond from the first time they met. They have to deal with being considered cousins even though not blood related & an age difference. They promise each other that they love each other when Zach leaves for college but have to write their own stories until their story comes back together. Their story is sweet and endearing. You need to read this story so you can fall in love with Zach & Zoey & cheer them on to their HEA. Thank you A.D for writing this amazing story.

    4 Stars!!!

    I was given this book in turn for an honest review.

    Zach and Zoey were inseparable as kids and as teenagers they still held a very special connection. With age a factor and their family ties; will Zach and Zoey find their happily ever after?

    A. D. Ellis has written Zach and Zoey a sweet beautiful romance, one that holds the belief that sometimes we find our soulmate as a child and no matter what stands between us; we will find the right time to unite as a couple and allow our love to grow into something deeper and passionate.

    Zach is the sweetest of the cousins so far. He has a protective nature, and isn't afraid to show his girl how much she means to him. The connection that Zach and Zoey have is deep; the depth in which they truly know each other is heart melting.

    Zoey is a strong willed girl, who was willing to wait for her one true love. No other boy ever stood a chance of stealing her heart.

    As with any of the Torey Hope stories, Zach's isn't without its twists; this twist is a surprise I didn't see coming. When the unthinkable happens, it brings this sweet and romantic dynamo even closer together.

    This story was well written, delivered and the characters were well developed, however it didn't hold the same excitement or wow factor that Dexter or Sawyer had for me. This is purely my personal preference and without a doubt this is still an exceptional story.

    We also get to know more about Kendrick in this book, and I can't wait to read his story.

    If you enjoy young adult, contemporary romances you will want to try the, Torey Hope: The Later Years series for sure, this collection of stories follows four cousins that you will steal your heart.

    Another wonderful book by A.D. Torey Hopes sounds like such a wonderful town to live in. From day one of Zoey's life Zach was there. He was so awesome to her and even though they loved each other, they kept it right. They grew up together along with the rest of their families. The love they had w
    Is wonderful. The emotions throughout all the family members in this book are so wonderful. As these books are written, more details about the families and things that have happened come out. Love the town, the families and this series. Can't wait for more.

    REVIEW:- ZACH: The Torey Hope, The Later Years by A.D. Ellis
    **REVIEW OF ARC FROM A.D. ELLIS**

    About the Author
    A.D. Ellis spends the majority of her days loving and wrangling two school-aged children, a husband, and a Yorkie with a stubborn streak a mile wide before heading to the inner city of Indiana to teach a challenging group of alternative education students in grades third through sixth. Most days she hits the gym after school in hopes of running and lifting away the stress and headaches of the day before picking up her children and squeezing a whole day’s worth of loving and living into the too-short hours before bed. It’s no wonder Ms. Ellis lives for the slower, easier days she gets to enjoy on breaks from school. Growing up in a small farming town in southern Indiana, A.D. is grateful to her mother for passing along the love of reading. With her nose constantly stuck in a book, Ms. Ellis became accustomed to friends and acquaintances snickering and shaking their heads at her love of reading. A.D. never dreamed of being anything but a teacher, although there are certain times of the year when she laments her career choice. Ms. Ellis had a story idea floating in her head for about a year. After persistent prodding from a friend, A.D. put pen to paper and began writing her first story in October 2013. From that moment on, she was hooked. Taking the people and stories from her head and sharing them with readers is a scary, exhausting, rewarding, and fulfilling experience which A.D. plans to continue until there are no more stories banging around in her mind. A.D. Ellis’ work can be found on both iBooks and Amazon. Please contact her on Facebook, Twitter, or her website.

    REVIEW
    I give this book a 5*****+Star review. A.D. Ellis has written another amazing edition to The Torey Hope Series. The latest book is about the life of Zach and Zoey, and how their relationship affects the rest of the family and others around them.
    The pair have been destined to be together from the day she was born and they where inseparable. They are life's perfect couple, but sadly life is not perfect. The pair have to deal with different twists and turns and how the family rallies around to show their love and support for the couple.
    I recommend reading the series in order starting with "For Nicky, book 1".
    So far in the series they are;
    1) For Nicky
    2) Because of Beckett
    3) Christmas in Torey Hope
    4) Loving Josie
    Torey Hope: The Later Years
    5) Decker
    6) Sawyer
    7)Zach (NOW OUT, 26th DECEMBER 2015)
    8) Kendrick (COMING SOON)

    RATING:- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+/ *****+
    WELLDONE A.D. ELLIS, PLEASE KEEP THE STORIES/BOOKS COMING FROM TOREY HOPE.
