"My dearest grand-daughter, Listen to your heart, believe in a brighter tomorrow, and always, always leave room for dessert."

Noelle Olsen has never been impulsive, but when she inherits the old family bed and breakfast, she surprises everyone by quitting her corporate job and starting over in Beachwood Bay: the sleepy coastal town that’s home to old memories, new friends — and the one man she never saw coming.

Ash Callahan isn’t looking for love. He’s built his real-estate empire out of discipline, control, and cool logic — so why does one kiss from a carefree stranger send his world tilting off its axis?

Their connection is undeniable; the chemistry, impossible to ignore. But just as Noelle considers opening her heart again, the pair find themselves facing off over the town’s future — and their own. With so much as stake, will they find a way to bridge the divide, and build a love that’s unforgettable?

Excerpt


“Watch out!”

The packed crowd in Jimmy’s bar suddenly shifts, and I go slamming into someone.

“Sorry!” I put my hands out to keep from falling, and a pair of strong arms grip me tightly, keeping me on my feet. “I didn’t see you—”

I look up, and the words fade on my lips. The room disappears—all the noise and jostling crowd blurring into background static.

It’s him.

Ash. The man from the masquerade party. The one who led me on a wild night of adventure—and never called me the next morning. He should be five hundred miles away, but he’s here, in the middle of the crowded bar in Beachwood Bay, looking at me like I’m a ghost.

I know how he feels. It’s impossible, it has to be. But I can feel his hands, gripping me tightly; feel the warm, solid muscle of his body against mine.

I know those hands. I’ve explored that body. There would be no mistaking them, even if I wasn’t gazing into his piercing dark eyes, the ones branded on my memory.

Oh my God.

The moment stretches, electric. Then someone slams into me again, and Ash yanks me back. Suddenly, the world rushes in again.

“What are you…?” I whisper, still not able to believe it. “I mean…”

I fight to collect myself, but before I can form a coherent sentence, Ash grabs my hand and pulls me across the room. He’s moving so fast, I can barely keep up: I hurry after him, through the crowd and down a back hallway.

“Where are we going?” I gulp, my heart racing. “Slow down. Ash!”

He ignores me, pulling me after him, up a flight of stairs, and through another door. We emerge on the rooftop, a flat expanse decorated with string lights and a view of the whole bay. I barely have time to catch my breath before Ash brings his hands to my face, pushes me back against the wall and kisses me so hard I forget my own name.

Yes.

Just like before, the chemical reaction is instant: a flare of heat surging through me, so bright it blots the world, like staring straight into the sun. I part my lips, greedy for the taste of him, loving the sensual caress of his tongue as he slides it deep into my mouth.

Ash groans against me, and I arch up, wrapping my arms around his neck to pull him closer. He’s gripping me so tightly, my body is crushed against him; my back hard against the wall. He threads the fingers on one hand roughly through my hair, pinning me in place as his mouth continues its devastating exploration.

There’s no way to explain it, how my body responds to his touch. Touch-paper to a flame; igniting like never before. I run my hands through his dark hair, slide across the muscular contours of his back, gripping at his shirt and kissing him with everything I have. I can’t think, I can’t breathe, I just fall deeper into the kiss, our passion obliterating every last thought from my mind.

It’s a rush of glitter in my veins, of soaring fever and a low, aching need. Desire consumes me, hot and demanding, until suddenly, Ash wrenches free.

I gasp for air, sinking back against the wall. My legs go weak as his eyes rake over me, blazing darkly with lust. “What are you doing here?” he whispers harshly.

“I…” I can’t find the words, I’m still reeling with shock—and desire.

A shadow crosses his face. He shakes his head, looking dazed. “No,” he mutters, cutting me off. “This isn’t happening.” Before I can say another word, he turns and strides away from me, slamming the exit door with a crash. I’m left alone on the rooftop with nothing but the sound of my own beating heart.

Review: Unforgettable by Shannon Richard (Country Roads #4)

Synopsis

One long, hot summer would never be enough...

Attorney Hannah Sterling lives a life she's worked hard for. So when she unexpectedly inherits an inn, Hannah decides to take that long overdue holiday and settle her eccentric grandmother's estate. She knew there would be challenges, but what's hardest about returning to Mirabelle, Florida, is facing the man who gave her the most passionate summer of her life-and then broke her heart.

But when a devastating secret from their past threatens their future, Shep must fight to heal Hannah's heart. Because this time, their love will truly be unforgettable...




My Review

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Until I saw this book on Netgalley, I was not aware of the "Country Roads" series. I read the synopsis and it seemed like a book I would like, since I enjoy second chance romance storylines. I fell in love with all the characters in this book and I will definitely be reading the previous books. I need to know all their stories! 

Hannah and Shep spent the summer together thirteen years ago in Mirabelle, Florida. While they were only together for three months, it was a very intense three months. Despite the fact that their relationship ended badly, these two never forgot each other and thirteen years later they are back in each others lives. 

Hannah has become a successful lawyer in New York, while Shep has inherited the family business and stayed in Mirabelle. Even after thirteen years these two had off the charts chemistry. I highlighted so much of this book that it was hard to come up with something to quote. But then I started thinking about the things I liked best about the book and Shep's honesty came to mind. From the very beginning he made it very clear that he wanted Hannah back. He knew that having Hannah back in his life was a chance he couldn't waste. Of course Hannah is hesitant to start things up with Shep again and she sends him lots of mixed signals. Shep had the patience of a saint and I kept worrying that eventually he would give up on her. These two seemed to be made for each other and I wanted them to work it out. 

Towards the end of the book Shep discovers the secret Hannah has been hiding and it almost destroys him. He gets drunk, shows up on Hannah's doorstep and proceeds to break my heart:

“I love you.”

“I know. I love you, too.”

“So why? Why do you keep hurting me?”

“Shep.” She reached up to touch his face, but he turned away from her, gently grabbing her hand and pulling it away.

“What did I do?” he asked, sitting up. “What did I do wrong?”

“Nothing.” She shook her head, running her hands up his shoulders and pulling his shirt from his arms.

He let her slip it off, and when his hands were free, he reached up, touching her face. “Then why can’t I have you?”

“You can. Shep, I—”

“Don’t leave me.” He leaned in, burying his face in her neck as his arms wrapped around her. “Please, Hannah. Don’t leave me.” His voice cracked, and tears hit her skin.

“I’m not going to.” She wrapped her arms around him, running her hands up and down his back.

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”

“Shep…” She couldn’t say anything. Her own tears clogged her throat, making it painful to talk.

He pulled her down onto the bed, and they stayed that way for God only knew how long until he finally fell asleep.

But sleep never came to Hannah, and she held him until well after the sun came up.
*Cue me crying like a baby.*

I think the unsung hero of the book is Hannah's deceased grandmother Gigi. I like to think that she knew exactly what she was doing when she sent Hannah back to Mirabelle. Hannah refers to Gigi as her best friend multiple times during the book and it seems as though Gigi knew Hannah better than Hannah knew herself. SMART LADY! I just wish we got more of her in this book. 

I'm excited to go back and read about Shep's friends and how they found love. I loved the banter between all of them and I want to get to know them better.

Excerpt

     She looked up at him, her heart in her throat. She couldn’t give him what he wanted. Couldn’t tell him the truth. She wasn’t ready. Telling him the truth, all of the truth, would rip her wide open, and she couldn’t handle that pain yet.
     She wasn’t sure if she’d ever be able to handle that pain.
     “Fine. I’ll go first.” He somehow moved closer to her. “Me kissing you is never a mistake. There are a lot of things in my life that I’d take back, but my lips on yours? That’s not one of them. I know that fact without a doubt.”
     He reached up and pulled her glasses from her face, setting them on the counter behind her before he lowered his mouth to hers. He nipped at her bottom lip, pulling it gently before his tongue darted out. He didn’t even get it past her bottom lip before her mouth was covering his, her tongue sliding along his.
     He let go of her hands, letting them drop to her sides before he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her entirely against his body.
     He had her backed up against the kitchen counter again, their hot and hungry mouths eating at the others.
     Every notion about fighting this thing with him flew out of her head, and she let herself go over to it. To all of it. All of him.
     “Does this feel like a mistake, Hannah?” He pulled back, resting his forehead against hers as he looked down into her eyes. “Right now, in this moment. Does it?”
     Her voice didn’t want to work, and it took her a second to form a response. “No.” She shook her head. “No, it doesn’t.”
     “What about this? My hands on you?” he asked, his eyes not leaving hers as he moved his palms under her shirt, running them up and down her bare back before he moved them to her sides.
      “No.” She couldn’t stop the shiver that ran through her body, and his mouth turned up in that predatory grin of his.
      “Or this?” This time his eyes did leave hers as he dropped his head and put his mouth on her neck, his tongue flicking against her skin.
Her answer was a long, low moan that went all the way down to her toes.
      “Do you want me to stop?” he asked right before he ran his tongue along her collarbone.
     “No.” Her eyes closed of their own accord as her head fell back. “Please.”
     “Please what?” Kisses across her shoulder.
     “Please don’t stop.”
     “Well, aren’t those lovely words?” His lips were working back up her neck, and then he found her mouth again. He was consuming her with his kisses, inhaling her. And his hands. Holy hell they were still running wildly over her hips and back. And then he brought one between them, his fingers tracing around her belly button before it moved low on her belly.
      He flicked the button on her jeans open and then went on to her zipper, pulling it down slowly. Maybe he was giving her another chance to protest.
     There wasn’t a chance in hell she was going to stop it this time.





About Shannon Richard

Shannon Richard grew up in the Florida Panhandle as the baby sister of two overly protective but loving brothers. She was raised by a more than somewhat eccentric mother, a self-proclaimed vocabularist who showed her how to get lost in a book and a father who passed on his love for coffee and really loud music. She graduated from Florida State University with a BA in English Literature and still lives in Tallahassee where she battles everyday life with writing, reading, and a rant every once in a while. Okay, so the rants might happen on a regular basis. She's still waiting for her Southern, scruffy, Mr. Darcy, and in the meantime writes love stories to indulge her overactive imagination. Oh, and she's a pretty big fan of the whimsy.
