Forget Me Not

by Melissa Lynne Blue

Sold for a title by her social climbing father, Lydia has one chance to run away with love. Lydia Covington has adored Irishman Brian Donnelly for years, but he is a retired soldier with no connections—hardly a suitable choice for the daughter of Britain's next Prime Minister. To make matters worse, she is engaged to the slovenly Viscount Northbridge, a man she can barely tolerate let alone love. Brian vowed long ago to be satisfied in a life without love. Orphaned at the age of two, he knows well how fragile life can be. However, four years ago he took one glance at the beautiful Lydia, and the one thing he swore would never happen did—he fell hopelessly in love. After witnessing a brutal murder, Lydia and Brian are kidnapped and whisked to the north of England by crime lord Felix Keith. Narrowly escaping certain death, the two race through the countryside, evading ruthless pursuers and untangling a web of lies and deception. Despite Brian's attraction, his goal is focused—to see Lydia safely home to her father and betrothed. She, however, is only too content to stay lost, tripping through the countryside with her handsome Irish protector. As their bond grows, can Lydia convince this wounded soul to take the ultimate chance on love before it's too late? Or will Brian retreat and close his heart to the one woman who could change his life forever?

[Karen Darling · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am glad I got this book for free. I just didn't care for it. The hero had a thick Irish accent, but sometimes I think the author forgot. The hero would say ye and then sometimes say you. They are also being kidnapped and in the back of a wagon with a corpse right next to them and they’re kissing. They were tonging each other down when a few seconds before they had dirty gags stuffed in their mouths. Their every thought is lusting after each other, no matter what’s going on around them. I only made it to chapter two. I figured the same crap would be happening from beginning to end, so I quit reading.

Three positive things about this book: it had a sweet ending, some portions were nicely written and a lovely cover.

Apart from that I'm afraid that the punctuation towards the beginning was terrible; in the main it lacked focus and drive and the standard of English was poor, with lots of errors and bug bears.

A disappointing 2 stars from me; definitely a book I will forget.

Lydia & Brian met each other in the past and no matter how hard they tried, couldn't forget each other. Their class difference threatened to keep them apart but Lydia saw the good in Brian. It turns out that love is the most powerful of all. In the end, they proved that their love could overcome it all!
