Jack, Leila, Evan, Liz, Matt, Lori, and everyone else. They're all here. Every single person you meet in the previous book, this is about their happily ever after. I knew this was a HeA type book but I seriously thought it was a novella. Imagine my surprise when I get a full length novel! I love happily ever afters and I love surprises. I love that it wasn't just unicorns and butterflies. With everything each couple encountered to obtain their happily ever after, they faced real life stress and feelings that every one of us would too. Miles apart from your loved one, mistrust, fear of everything being too good to be true. I love jack and Leila. I love the way he loves her. I love their happy ending. I love love love Leila and Trey. I love learning more about him. And more so I love that she's the only one who gets through to him, through his walls. I was also in the same boat as Lori. I don't trust matt, thus is the reality when you know someone is a serial cheater. There were so many happy endings here it almost became a little hard to keep track of, but they all did get it. They all worked hard for it, so they all deserved it. The friendships, the partnerships, the love they all have, it makes my heart smile.

I give this book 4 hearts

Hi Jack and Leila! I want to say a huge huge thank you for taking time to sit down with us! Let’s get started, shall we?

L-Thanks for having us…

Jack smiles.

Oh man ladies, all he did was smile and I'm all swoony already! This is going to be challenging to stick to the topic at hand!

How are you two adjusting to the changes life has thrown your way?

L-It’s been surreal. I keep pinching myself, thinking I’m dreaming.

J- It definitely takes getting used to, but down deep we are still the same two people we were two years ago.

Since the changes in life, Jack, have you seen any changes in the types of songs you write?

J-Most definitely. Reason I Am is a perfect example. All my past songs weren’t as soulful or raw. I put it all out there with that song. Performing it alone, without the guys, only added to they vulnerability it showcases.

Jack, are you still enjoying the extra added benefits from Leila’s.. changes?

Laughs…. J-Yes I am, but so is she. Right, Babe?”

L-Yes, it’s been beneficial to both of us.

Leila, why do you take such an interest in Trey and finding out more about him, and hooking him up?

L-Because he has shown me a side of himself that no one has ever seen. He’s definitely a good person, but a caring one. That’s the ingredient that we never saw in him before. It’s in there, he just needs to find the one. Plus, I want him to be happy.

Jack, what do you think it is about Leila that allowed her to break through to Trey, the little that she has?

J-Look at her, she is adorable, gorgeous, smart, and relentless. None of us had a prayer.

How do you two see touring schedule changing in your future?

They both laugh…

J-Without saying much, it will most definitely be a different experience.

Has the Rolling Stone article changed anything for you?

L-It’s caused the paparazzi to multiple like rabbits. They find us everywhere.

Leila, have the naysayers stopped saying you’ve trapped Jack and realized what you two have is true?

L-Nope. I still have my haters, but I learned to I ignore them.

J- With my help.

L- With Jack’s help.

What is the weirdest thing a fan ever gave either of you?

L-Good question. I’m not sure it’s weird, but I’ve gotten proposals tweeted to me. Jack get’s slipped hotel room keys all the time. The funny thing is we usually don’t know it until he takes his jeans off.

J-Trey gets all sorts of weird shit…sorry, can I say shit?

Jack, has your overprotectiveness settled down at all?

Both together… NO.

Down the road, 5 years.. what do you see your life like?

L-I see us doing just what we are, only better.

J-With a Lair Litter in tow.

L-For the record, we aren’t on the same page regarding the litter.

Do you miss anything from the way your lives were before?

L-I miss the anonymity, but it’s part of the business I wouldn’t change it for the world.

J-Lei’s right. Sure it’s annoying and we lost our privacy, but we have all dreamt of this for years, and the good far outweighs the bad. Anyone who is in the spotlight and tells you differently is lying.

Anything you two would do different in your relationship?

J- Absolutely not. Wait, yes one thing. I wouldn’t have waited as long as I did to seduce her.

L- Funny, Babe, that’s my answer.

Anything you would do different career wise?

J-I wouldn’t have hired Danny.

L- No mention of him please.

Leila, has Jen’s attitude toward you changed?

L- No. But I find it funny now.

What is your dream date now-adays?

J-A night alone with Leila.

What is your dream vacation?

J-A vacation alone with Leila.

**Leila smiles.**

Are you people swooning yet?? I am!

What do you do in your off time?

J-Try to avoid our band.

L-Jack… We spend a lot of time at the beach in the summer. We love it there.

Favorite way to relax?

L-I love to read, on the beach.

J- I’d have to say chilling backstage after a show. It’s euphoric coming off that high.

Favorite picture?

J-Too many to name.

Favorite memory?

L-Vegas for me.

J- I have several, but Vegas ranks high.

Favorite place to be kissed?

J-Right here. (He points to his neck, below his ear).

L-My lips. (and smiles)

whew it just got hot in here.. are these two adorable or what!?!?!

Leila- do you prefer Jack shaved or with man-scruff? (on his face you pervert!)
Leila laughs. – I love both.

Best surprise?

**They exchange looks.** J- You’ll find out in Encore.

Any funny memories you could share with us?

L-Every day is a comedy show with the guys.

Now that I can completely see...

Okay.. fast fire round…ready… first response that pops in your head.

Fast and hard or slow and soft?

J-Slow and Soft

L-Fast and Hard

Inside or outside?

J-Inside

L-Inside

Shower or wall?

J-Shower

L-Both

Ice cubes or chocolate syrup?

J-Ice cubes. He looks over at Leila and smirks.

Why do I feel like Layla is in for it tonight?....

Lingerie or naked?

J-Lingerie first, naked next

Heels or barefoot?

J-Heels

L- Really? I never knew that.

Backstage or beach?

Together – Beach.

Thank you so much for opening your lives to us for the day and letting us ask some crazy questions. We wish nothing but the best for you both, and everyone else in your lives.

L-Thank you so much for having us.

J- See you on tour.
