Review: Unforgettable by Shannon Richard

I really enjoy trying new-to-me authors and Shannon Richard fit the bill. After devouring the short but thrilling synopsis I knew I would have to give Unforgettable a shot. At the time I didn't realize that it was a series and even if I did I don't think it would have mattered very much...if at all. The summary was pleasing enough that I couldn't resist.

Richard's Unforgettable is a lovely story about a couple that had given love a shot once and life happened pulling them apart. After thirteen long years of thinking of each other they are brought back together.

Being brought back to Mirabelle isn't all that it's cracked up to be in Hannah's eyes. She knows that she'll have to face the love of her life and resist his charms to safeguard her heart. Nathaniel had broken her heart once and she just couldn't go through that again. So in an effort to keep emotion out of the picture she pushes him away every chance she gets. She can keep on fighting but in the end she may just have to give in!

Unforgettable follows the basic pattern of a true romance novel. A beautiful couple that is obviously destined to be together is pulled apart. The force that destroys the relationship is usually something small in the grand scheme of things or tragic...in this case it's both. Hannah's leaving for college and Nathaniel's not fighting for her to stay. But there's more than that going on. The crushing blow comes when Hannah finds out she's pregnant and shortly thereafter has a miscarriage. She's devastated and who would be! This is a secret she keeps for thirteen long years. You can see where that secret will come into play later. Right?

But the reunion of this couple is absolutely amazing. Nathaniel's never give up attitude really has you cheering for him. He's one guy that you just can't help but fall in love with. Honestly, I feel sorry for him because no matter how much love, charm, or honesty he throws at Hannah he doesn't seem to get anywhere. It's just sad!

Hannah has all the makings of a girl you just want to grab by the shoulders and shake...HARD! I mean look at this beautiful hunky guy standing in front of you. You love him and you know it so stop fighting it! Even though you know the reason why she acts the way she does. She's still a wonderful character. As a couple they totally rock the bedroom and kitchen scenes. The sexy scenes are totally steamy and filled with love.

Could nI have asked for a better read? Hell no! Richard totally brought life to her characters, told an epic love story that brings tears to your eyes and shared some very awesome sexy scenes too. This is a fantastic read with excellent pacing. You'll dive in and won't come up for air until you turn the final page. I'll definitely be grabbing the rest of the Country Roads series very soon.
