I loved this book so much. I'd definitely reread it. It's my second QB Tyler book (my first was Bittersweet Love). I had no idea what it was about when I started, so I went in with a very open mind and I had a blast with the first few chapters, discovering what was going on. I loved the premise of the story. I know a lot of people hate the cheating trope, but I loved the realness and the complexity of the situation. It wasn't as simple as "he cheated so leave him". They loved each other deeply and they were both hurting and didn't handle things well.
The chemistry between the characters was sizzling and so obvious, as was their love. I loved how the spice was written in this story. Every scene was gave as more insight into the dynamics of the couple or pushed the plot forward. I also loved how the flashbacks were woven into the story. Rather than have a whole chapter that goes back in time, there were just flashes, which allowed me to stay connected to the story.
I really enjoyed the narration. Both narrators are fairly new to me. (I think I may have listened to one Jeremy York book a while ago.) Their performance was very expressive and really pulled the listener into the story, making us experience the emotions along with the characters.

Olivia was a strong woman and I loved her character development throughout the story! She's my girl! Bennett... oh, goodness, where do I start? He made some mistakes, but it's not entirely his fault. He's willing to work on their relationship and come out stronger. I loved how he realized that there was no one for him but Livi. They have an explosive chemistry, and I loved every minute of it!
The audiobook was enjoyable! I rarely listen to books, as I've found I read through them a lot faster, but I made an exception since I had my hands busy for the majority of time. Phew!

Let me start by saying I love me some Q.B Tyler. She always comes correct with the plots, spice, and groveling. That being said, I was highly annoyed with the MMC's best friend and him blaming the FMC on why her husband cheated. If you suffer something traumatic as a miscarriage, there isn't a timeline on healing and recovery. Falling into deep depression is highly likely. So when she couldn't bring herself to be a "wife" or let her husband in at the moment, I don't see how she should be understanding that her husband cheated! If she chose not to be there for him after his accident because her heart was still broken, because his one night stand also turned into him sleeping with her again after, she was well within her rights to leave him where he was. He was the only part of the book I could do without.

I wish this one hit as hard for me as it did everybody else! First of all, I was way too eager to forgive Bennett. Not only did he cheat once, but he went back twice more. That almost was enough to vote his ass off the island, but then we read his letter, and he was so in love with Olivia. I found it hard to even be mad at him- even after he held his truth about his memory from her. Olivia pushed him away, like their love wasn’t as grand as Bennett knew it was. And that is the reason why this didn’t get a high rating for me- I was so on Bennett’s side that Olivia’s anger, hurt, and just the way she argued, became annoying to me. By the end of the book I was frustrated with her, and I’m sure I’m probably alone in feeling that way! I mean, c’mon, she had lost her babies! I should have been right there emotionally with her.
Bennett’s love for Olivia was what made the book for me. I’m so happy that he was into our hurt heroine like his life depended on it. I was so worried that the other woman drama would break my heart and make the book hard to read, but that wasn’t the case. Bennett really was sorry, and he did everything he could to make it better.
As for rating it, I’m stuck between a 3.75 and a 4 star rating. It was almost what I needed it to be.

Bennett + Olivia
I kind of expected it to come out that Bennett didn’t actually sleep with Amanda.
I may be in the majority but I actually completely understood how Bennett. I was in that situation before and pushed my SO away and though it didn’t lead to cheating it did create a rip in our relationship we couldn’t repair.

No. Just no.
Especially avoid at all costs if you're struggling getting pregnant or have a trigger for cheating.
Lots of gratuitous smut out of no where, awkward transitions, and a very unlikable hero.

Omg! I didn't want this book to end it was so good, so juicy, and so angtsy. Forget Me Not was amazing and took me on a very angsty ride of two people that belong together but go through the ultimate betrayal in a marriage. This story broke my heart over and over again. Buuuuuut it put it back together and that what counts!
This is a new to me author that I found through Instagram and Facebook and she is amazingly(word of the day) sweet and just gorgeous. I love how she made this story come to life the good the bad and the ugly and from reading the blurb I knew what was I was getting myself into. Yes, yes he cheated and boy did grovel. Getting to see his pov was the icing on the cake, I still dont forgive him though lol but I loved how this couple worked through it all to get their hea. It took alot of time and good talks and arguing. Olivia and Bennett will have you crying, yup I cried then smacked my husband in the head just for the heck of it.
Anyway back to O and B they had amazing chemistry in and out of the bedroom. Man, I tell you Olivia had Bennett are hot, hot, hot!!! The amazing love these two characters had for each other beat out all the wrong that was done to both. This book will definitely be going into my favorites list! I assure you I will be reading more from Ms. Tyler because she is amazing!!! ;)

I left him to deal with everything alone. I was so busy trying to survive the storm, I'd forgotten there was someone else fighting besideme
That touched me still no excuse for what he did but in reality no one is perfect.
Happy reading my friends!
