Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Back then, I had it all.<\/p>\n

Wicked fastball. Killer instinct. Cocky grin. Full package.<\/div>\n
(And believe me, I knew how to score.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My senior year, I was a first round draft pick with a two-million-dollar signing bonus. Before I could even legally buy myself a beer, I made my Major League debut.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Point is, I was invincible.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Until one day I wasn\u2019t.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After tanking my career\u2014during the World Series, no less\u2014the last thing I want to do is return to my hometown, where every jerk in a ball cap has an opinion about what went wrong with my arm. So when my sister drags me back to town for her wedding, I vow to get in and out of there as quickly as possible.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then I run into April Sawyer.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In high school we were just friends, but I\u2019d always wanted her, and I\u2019d never forgotten her\u2014the red hair, the incredible smile, the crazy, reckless thing we did in the back of my truck the night we said goodbye. It\u2019s been eighteen years, but one look at her and I feel like my old self again. I can still make her laugh, she can still take me down a notch, and when the chemistry between us explodes, it\u2019s even hotter this time around\u2014and I don\u2019t want it to end.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But just when I think I\u2019m ready to let go of the past and get back in the game, life throws me a curveball I never saw coming.<\/div>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 stars!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

“You deserve to be loved the way I\u2019m going to love you.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

April and Tyler were good friends growing up and had never crossed the line into more. On the last night Tyler was in town before starting his baseball career, they gave into one night of passion and April ended up pregnant. At eighteen, she chose to give her son up for adoption and Tyler went off to play ball. They lost touch over the years and never spoke of it again.<\/p>\n

Now, Tyler is back in town for his sister\u2019s wedding and the wedding planner is none other than April. When Tyler and April see each other again, it\u2019s not as awkward as they expected.\u00a0They instantly reconnect, the spark from years ago igniting once again. He\u2019s only home for the weekend so they decide on a little fun but when feelings get involved, everything changes.<\/p>\n

I have been waiting for April\u2019s story ever since we learned of her past, and her book was worth the wait. It has a wonderful mix of both lighthearted and emotional moments, and I easily got sucked into the story.<\/p>\n

I loved April. \u00a0She is such a wonderful woman. She gave her son up for adoption because she knew it was the best thing for both of them but she has kept her feelings hidden. She\u2019s ready to face them head on\u00a0and I love how strong she is. She doesn\u2019t need to prove her strength because it\u2019s always been there, and I admire her bravery for the difficult decisions she made. It took courage and maturity to do what she did, and I wanted her to find peace and closure with her decision.<\/p>\n

Baseball was everything to Tyler…until it wasn\u2019t. Now, he is lost without his talent. He is grouchy and a jerk every time he thinks of his failure. He is set in his ways but when he comes home for the first time in years, things start to change in a way he never expected. He is vulnerable and I was rooting for his strength to shine through so he could overcome his insecurities and his pain. I loved watching his character grow throughout the story, and by the end he was who he was meant to be.<\/p>\n

From the beginning, April and Tyler are both clear on what they can be. They have a past but they don\u2019t have a future. Casual and short term is all they want and they are good with that. Yet, when feelings resurface, they don\u2019t know what to do now that they want more.<\/p>\n

April and Tyler are hot and heavy but it\u2019s not just about the physical time together. They have a connection they can\u2019t deny and I felt it. They have fun together and an easy friendship that turns to so much more. I love watching them open up and learn to trust each other. There is a lot of growth between the two of them, each facing different things, and I loved being with them as they realize what is truly important.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what the second act of my life is going to look like, but I know you\u2019re the best part of it.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overall, Unforgettable<\/i> was an entertaining and emotional second chance romance, and a wonderful conclusion to the Cloverleigh Farms<\/i><\/a> series. I am sad to say goodbye to the Sawyer family but I know I can see them again whenever I want just by starting from the beginning!<\/p>\n
