I received an ebook ARC of Forget Me, Book 2 in the Van Allen Brothers Series by Kimberley Ash through #NetGalley. This is my first review for NetGalley, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to read this book early. This book came out yesterday, June 3rd, so you can go out and enjoy this romance yourself!
Forget Me focuses on Laurel Moore, a big city chef, home to run the bar and take care of her family after her alcoholic father’s passing. Jonah Gardiner is the town’s former bad boy turned Ph.D., and her former secret boyfriend.
Most of the romance I read is historical romance so this was a nice change-up for me. I wasn’t sure what to think going into it, but was intrigued to see how Ash would treat the main characters’ relationship with each other and how their backgrounds would be brought into the story. I think Ash did a good job of balancing the romance with the reality of their lives–working, dealing with family problems, etc. Romance novels are often so much a fantasy that it can be hard to relate the story to your life, but this book was easy for me to relate to.
All-in-all this was an enjoyable read and I look forward to reading the other books in the series.
