“I bet you were adorable.” He put his knuckle under her chin and encouraged her to lift her head. She rolled back over and settled against his shoulder.“I don’t want to be adorable. I want to be impossible.”
“How do you mean?” He kissed her forehead.
“I want to be impossible for you to forget, impossible for you to keep your hands off of.” She leaned up for a kiss.
“You’re my impossible then. Have no fear.” He tenderly reminded her he was her impossible, too, with his lips.
She put her hand against his stomach and snuggled in. “This is my spot. Right here. With you—it’s home.”
He swallowed before talking to the ceiling. “My heart was like a fist. Where I am? It’s not a place you plan to survive. I’ve been there for years, and it’s not about skill; it’s not even about luck. You get strapped into a machine, and fate’s driving. You can’t get out even if you want to. So you submit to it. You harden your soul. You get ready to die.”
He shifted, rolling on top of her. She sighed in contentment. Being beneath him made her feel safe and secure.
He kissed her lips, then the tip of her nose, before continuing. “But with you, it’s like my heart’s opening up, and I’m terrified to feel, after all this time. Yet I don’t have a choice. No matter where I am, I draw your face whenever I get a scrap of paper.”
He laughed a little. “We found a puppy, and I named it Fallen, just so I could say your name over and over. The guys think I’m crazy—such a strange name for a dog. But I don’t care. I’m gasping for you every moment I’m awake. And I’m making choices to keep me alive through the week.”
His eyes searched hers. “What if I’m not as tough as I was in the beginning? God, I hope no one is affected by my distraction with this. But in the end there’s you. Only you. Do what you have to to get back to me when you’re awake. You have to. I need you more than air, more than life right now. The softness of you, the tenderness in your eyes when you see me. I’m trying to force fate to throw me in your direction. To hurl me at you somehow. I don’t know if it will work. But I’m praying for it.”

Michel’s Review
A few months ago a fellow book junkie and I were having a discussion about our favorite authors. Debra Anastasia was one that popped up on both of our list. As the discussion about Debra’s books became more detailed, we realized that Debra was one that stood out among our favorites. She has a special gift with creating compelling characters that are outside of the norm in most romance novels. Each one of her novels is completely different and stands on it’s own merit. It cannot be compared to anything. Debra not only creates compelling characters with very unique stories, she also adds a range of emotional moments infused with humor, compassion, and honesty. Her creativity has left readers enthralled with their reading experience. Who else could create a charismatic homeless guy, a lovable ruthless crime lord, a saintly priest with an inner tiger, a blogger held hostage by a farting bad guy, a super mommy exacting revenge, and panty dropping pharmacist? This time around Debra has really dug deep and delivered a story that is not only personal for her but gives an unfinished hero his happily ever after in a very unique way. After reading For All The Evers, I was in awe of Debra’s writing talent.
***
For All The Evers by Debra Anastasia may be considered a paranormal romance or a time travel romance. It really didn’t fit quite right in either category. It was in a class by itself. The hero, Thomas McHugh, was a veteran who perished in WWII. The heroine, Fallen Billow, was a modern day young woman struggling to make ends meet in a very dysfunctional family. Their romance was defined by the dream world and Room 514 at the hotel where Fallen worked. To add to the mystic, Fallen’s boss, who is all kinds of scary and sexually harasses her at work, is able to stalk her in the dream world. Her dream world is colliding with the real world. The only friends she has is two old ladies from very different era’s and experiences.
***
Fallen and Thomas find a love they never expected. They know that their relationship is realistically doomed. Their worlds will never be fused together. The seventy year difference is not the only thing in the way of their happily ever after. Fate has already played her card, Thomas died in the war.
***
Their worlds are out of sync and their hearts beat as one.
***
I will not say much more because this is a book that must be read and experienced personally. The one thing I will say is that Thomas McHugh was a real man who died a hero in WWII. He was Debra’s great uncle. She shared him with the world. She made him timeless.
