Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow is the second book in the Time River series by A.L. Jackson, featuring a riveting brother’s best friend romantic suspense story that will leave you breathless. Ryder has loved Dakota for years, but his own demons have forced him to keep them in the friend zone. But when danger seems to darken Dakota’s door, Ryder can’t stop himself from stepping up to protect her and her adorable little boy. When the forced proximity finally ignites the passion that’s been simmering between them for so long, Ryder knows things have to change. What kind of threats will be unleashed when his dark secrets come out?

Holy Plot Twists! Wow! First, I love this Time River fictional world— the small town vibe, the friends that feel like family. But Ryder and Dakota? They are everything! All the feels! There was so much angst, tension, and longing early on. My heart just broke for them, even as I was dying to know what Ryder’s secrets were! The flashbacks were woven in so well, and the book had great flow. I’m just struck by the authenticity and rawness of the emotions, especially for Ryder. He was clearly struggling with a ton of pain and darkness. The chemistry between them was palpable throughout, and when they finally gave in it was explosive!

C’était pas mauvais, childhoods friends to lovers pas ma trope préférée mais ca va. Ca allait jusqu’à ce que les 4 derniers chapitres sont devenus du non-sens pour ma part. J’ai pas compris la réaction de Dakota parce qu’en soit elle savait qu’il avait un passé hyper fucked up surtout quand il lui avait bien expliqué qu’il devait arranger les choses de son passé pour pouvoir être avec elle. Et donc c’est pour ça qu’il l’a repoussé depuis m’enfin.

De plus, bon 3/4 chapitres d’affilé qui sont exclusivement pour les scènes de sex. Fin d’accord t’écris 1 chapitre dessus mais 3 chapitres d’affilé entièrement que de ça ouais non c’était pas nécessaire.

Puis au final on sait même pas si Cody a accepté leur relation mais par contre demande en mariage à la fin? Ok

Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow by A.L. Jackson is a tantalizing tale of forbidden desire. The story unfolds with intensity as Ryder grapples with the longstanding boundaries between him and his best friend's sister, Dakota. The small-town setting adds a charming backdrop to the emotional rollercoaster, heightened by the challenges of single parenthood. The narrative skillfully combines elements of brother's best friend trope, romantic suspense, and a hint of a secret past, creating a riveting read. Jackson's writing captures the essence of the characters' unspoken desires, portraying a piercing intensity that resonates throughout. While the story takes daring turns, the promise of a happily-ever-after ensures a satisfying conclusion. Don’t Forget Me Tomorrow is a compelling blend of passion, mystery, and the struggle to navigate the forbidden, making it a must-read for fans of small-town romances with a touch of suspense.

This was a 100% obsessed me reading this ARC. ♥️

Ryder - tattooed biker who is caught up with something and lives his life looking out and caring for Dakota, he wants her safe and believes he doesn’t deserve her or anything good. He has loved her since they were both young and it’s for him just how it is - although he has never moved beyond friendship with her. He’s a man who wears his heart on this sleeve but doesn’t think anyone else can see it. What’s hero ♥️

Dakota - she wants more with Ryder, always has, always will but in her head she keeps reminding her heart they are friends first. Shes a single mum with a bakery/cafe and her son is such a cutie.

Their connection has been strong for a long while and when then eventually get together the slow burn is well worth the wait. There is lots of angst in this one which I love.

AL Jackson writes such male heroes who draw you all in and who deserve the world but they don’t see it like that. I loved being back in this world with the characters from book 1 and I think she’s just keep getting better and better.
Thanks for the ARC copy it made my week and the storyline was just perfect.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

It’s good! The only thing I had a hard time with was Dakota’s insecurity when it was so obvious to me Ryder wasn’t joking. But eventually you learn why. Great ending!

I'm such a huge fan of A.L. Jackson! Truly. Her books are something else, and I'm becoming obsessed with the Time River series. You're looking for a small-town romance exceptionally executed? Then look no further, this book is it. Time River series is it. A.L. Jackson is it.

I'm totally and completely head over hills for Ryder and Dakota, and actually all the characters in the book. Lord, was their story a wild emotional ride.

Dakota is the strongest single mom to the sweetest and cutest little boy named Kayden. She's a phenomenal baker and an owner of a delicious restaurant and café; she is tough, brave, and an amazing human being. I love all the incredible people she has in her life, including Ryder - someone she's been pining for for practically forever, even when she knows she shouldn't.

Ryder is Dakota's brother's best friend, and since a very young age they were a constant in each other's lives. I loved reading all the cute moments from their childhood, specially all the times Dakota baked cookies for him and their sweetest interactions.

Ryder has been in love with Dakota since forever and there's nothing he wanted more than to spend the rest of his life with her. However, due to unfortunate circumstances, Ryder had to do everything in his power to make sure he stayed away from her instead. But can he avoid crossing this line?

I loved every second and every interaction between Ryder and Dakota. And Ryder and Kayden? My poor heart struggled a lot trying to handle all the cuteness and love surrounding them. 🥹
It's evident right from the start the strong attraction the main characters share. Their chemistry and connection are undeniable, and the love they have for each other is the kind of love one would wish upon a star for.

Their sweet and cute moments are everything. Their hot moments are everything. God, Ryder and Dakota are something else. There's true fire between them; their tease is incredible - whenever Ryder pushed Dakota's buttons, Dakota didn't hold back in response and when I tell you it was burning hot, trust me that it was burning hot. 🔥🔥🔥
All the steamy scenes are just wow, wow, wow, WOW!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Oh, oh! And the MC is pierced. Just, you know, leaving it here. 😏

This book is so well-written and detailed, once you open its first page you won't be able to put it down until you reach that "The End". It's a great small-town romance but add a bit of suspense and mystery to it and believe me when I say the story will leave you gasping. 🤯 The plot and the twists are fantastic and I definitely didn't see them coming and loved every second of it. Even though it did keep on edge for a while. 🤪

I loved this book and I so cannot wait for what the author has prepared for us next!

Thank you so much Valentine PR and A.L. Jackson for the ARC of this book! 💖
