Review:
The last of a trilogy, I was so glad that again Shannon Richard did not disappoint the reader. The book can stand alone as its own story but having read the other two parts of this story, fits the pieces and I think, completes the jigsaw. The romance, sex and character development had me turning pages in anticipation.
Hannah, a New York lawyer, has been given the deed to a run-down inn on her grandmother’s death. This brings her back to Mirabelle, a place fraught with memories that she would rather forget. On meeting Shep again, the physical attraction that brought them together when she was 18 is still there but she knows she must repel them. After all, he broke her heart then and she still hasn’t told him her “secret” from the past. Hannah tries her hardest to keep Shep at bay but his persistence wins. Will their love for each other be enough? I liked Hannah and found the situations she got herself into both funny and poignant. As she finds out what she really wants in life and who is important to her you can see her maturity grow throughout the story.
Shep, after Hannah left, fell into a lifestyle of drinking and women. After the death of his grandfather he finally gets his life together but cannot get Hannah out of his mind. When she returns unexpectedly he is determined not to lose her again. Knowing the physical attraction is still there he breaks her down but when he learns of the “secret” she has kept from him he doesn’t know if their love is strong enough to survive. Shep I felt also had to mature throughout the story and I liked his progression from a hard living bar owner to a caring thoughtful adult who also had to find out what and who was important to him.
The love story between Shep and Hannah was all that I wanted it to be; Hot and sexy -at times stormy, without being overbearing. A delightful end to a great trilogy, I thank Shannon Richard for the story and the series as they were Unforgettable!
