Forgotten Song

Ally Blue
Ben Carson sure as hell didn't expect the love of his life to literally fall at his feet. But when a mysterious stranger passes out cold in front of him after a street fight, Ben knows right away that this could be something special, that this man isn't like anyone else he's ever known.
The heat between Eric Green and Ben is fierce and immediate. But it's more than a phys...more

Ben is a kind man who finds Eric fighting a much larger man outside a bar. Feeling sorry for the obviously homeless man, Ben takes him home and tries to help him. It's obvious that Eric has secrets. The two have to overcome Eric's past and a current threat in order to be together.
This is really a 3.5 read. Ben's a great character. I felt deep sympathy for Eric. If anything bad can happen to a person, it's happened to Eric. The conflict was emotional and interesting. I usually ...more

First, I did not finish this book. I know some people have major issues with people reviewing books they haven't finished, but I need to review so I can remind myself that I've already attempted this book, so that I don't mistakenly try to read it again. So, what did I like about this book....
Not much. I liked the idea of the story. The characters initially seemed interesting and there was some definate possibilities. I also love Ally Blue. I just didn't like this story.

I forgot how much I liked Ally Blue’s writing until I read Forgotten Song. I admit that Forgotten Song isn’t my favorite book written by her, but I still really enjoyed it.
If Forgotten Song hadn’t been written in first person, I bet I would have loved it! As much as I enjoyed reading Ben’s point of view; I would have loved reading what was going on in Eric’s mind throughout the book, too!
After all, it was Eric who had been through so much, and was the firecracker betwe...more

Ally Blue has a gift for writing gay romances that revolve around healing. “Easy,” “Untamed Hearts,” and “Willow Bend” all had characters going through very difficult times who are hesitant to start relationships again. But, love wins out eventually! Forgotten Song is another successful novel in this vein.
This novel has a darker undercurrent than previous works. Eric Green has had a horrible life. So horrible in fact, that if I didn’t watch so many true crime shows I would’ve found it ...more

Perhaps some issues with plausibility, which is something I've noticed in quite a few of Ally Blue's stories, but for some reason I just don't care. I don't know why sometimes things like that drive me crazy and other times I can totally suspend my disbelief and just go for the ride. I think maybe it just has to do with the characters and their connection. I fall in love with Ally's characters, so I can forgive everything else. If what you're looking for in an m/m romance is characters that enga...more
I really liked this story. I thought it was a little over the top where Eric was concerned, but it served the story. I felt terrible for Eric, you had to wonder how much more bad stuff one person could stand to take.
The story starts with Ben saving Eric after he's been in a bad fight. Eric is very weary of Ben and his goodwill but reluctantly goes with him. So starts their friendship. They are both attracted to each other but Eric has a lot of trust issues, for reasons that unfold. Be...more

Ally Blue usualy does a great job of character building and giving each of the heroes just enough baggage to make them interesting. In this endeavor she goes waaaaay overboard with the baggage for Eric. Every time he opened up about his past something horrific poured out. The link between all the baddies was also silly and contrived. There was no reason for the warden to use the prisoner.
Not my favorite Ally Blue offering.

Hhhmm, this just didn't work for me. The story never became cohesive or well paced for me to really get into the story. I also felt that the characters were a bit flat and never really made me feel that I wanted to be involved in their lives. I enjoy other Ally Blue books, this one just didn't capture my interest.

I enjoyed this one because of the two main characters and their interaction, though some of the other elements of the story struck me as being unbelievable and overly dramatic. In the end, it was a good read that made me a little sniffly and still smile.
One of my all time favorites. Love the angst!!!
This book was Damn Good!!
One of the best she has written so far. The story was sad and happy and frightening and well you get the point EXCELLENT
