It's a short read. Not horrible, but not mind-blowing either. There were a few moments of banter that had me giggling to myself. I listened to this one on audio, and it only took a little over two hours to finish. The narrators did a fine job, I just think too much was happening in such a short expanse of time. To be fair, novellas are sometimes hit and miss for me. I like my stories meaty lol. I like to feel all the feels when I'm reading. I want to connect. I struggled to do that with this one because I barely had time to register the plot points, let alone absorb them, before we were thrown right into the next thing. I think having a SIX YEAR time jump in a novella is a risky little game to play.
I don't want to discount Nicole's writing from this one experience. This was my first time reading her work, and it's easy to see the massive amounts of potential in her pen. I think maybe I just need to try one of her lengthier stories.

I feel like it is hard to rate such a short book. I enjoyed the story and it was a good pallet cleanser after the last book I read. A good listen with some action but it didn't get too deep because it didn't have the time. I enjoyed it and of course Joe did an amazing job narrating.

Nicole Fanning has quickly become a one click author for me!
Forget Me Not is a fun and spicy military novella, audio just under 3 hours.
Naomi and Sawyer had a great meet cute at a bar that led to a one-night stand. They both had been hurt and not looking for anything long term. They had an instant connection with amazing chemistry, they hit a few obstacles along the way with some moments that hurt my heart. Side characters were great - I loved Naomi's brother, Eric - such a fun character and I really hope we hear more from him in the future. I do wish we had a little more time with them as a couple and growing their relationship but that is just me being greedy because I wasn't left unsatisfied with the storyline.
Narrated in duet by Rose Dioro and Joe Arden - Their voices worked so well together, and they really brought out the emotions when needed. I could laugh or be angry right along with Sawyer and Naomi. I would love to listen to more books with this pairing.

When the ex wife turned up and the main character simply walks out without bothering to listen to the guy or fighting for her fiancei just couldn't listen anymore. The miscommunication trope is something I hate and this was just ridiculous, she didn't even bother asking questions, she just ran away. I couldn't continue listening after that even though it was read by Joe Arden who I love.

Thank you Blue Nose Audio Publicity Team for providing an ALC in exchange for an honest review! All thoughts are my own and left voluntarily.
Narrated in DUET by: Rose Dioro and Joe Arden :) I absolutely adored Rose's take on Naomi. From showcasing vulnerability and alertness to being flirty and dreamy - Rose nailed this role! And for Joe - he balanced Sawyer's emotions so well! Great control over his honey dripping voice!
If you are looking for less then 3hrs long audiobook - look no further! Forget Me Not is my first military romance story, so I'm still testing waters. Nevertheless, due to voice actors effortlessly bringing to life Nicole's characters, I enjoyed the story of Naomi and Sawyer. What started off as one night stand turned out to be something much more serious and long-lasting..
We start off with an interesting prologue between Naomi, Sawyer and his wife.. and then ch.1 picks up (if I remember correctly) 4 months prior the prologue. They are in some sticky situation, I tell ya!
We get some karaoke action, chivalry, the fated one night stand full of nervous yet flirty energy and, I would say, sub-plot involving Naomi and Eric's (her brother) father, who is a big shot in the military. Basically, the trio are experts in advanced weaponry (bombs et.). And, of course, pov's from sweet Sawyer, who is Air Force pilot.
For me, this story was bit chaotic. Let me try to explain. Maybe, because I haven't read military romance before, the different parts regarding military sub-plot and wild turns, are standard in this type of genre. It could be that I expected romance with some military background only (like, not too deep exploration or something). Not sure. I will understand more of this once I pick up another military romance book, so I can compare. In general - a lot of things happened. Action, romance, sibling dynamic and drama.
What to expect:
* Workplace Romance
* Reverse Grumpy Sunshine
* He Falls First
* Forced Proximity
* Forbidden Romance
* Small Town
* Insta-Lust
* One That Got Away
* Fluffy-Not-So-Dark-Romance
* Standalone
* HEA
