Pretty good
This story was good until the ending. The language could have been a little less graphic. It took away from the story a bit.

This was a quick and easy read. Interested in learning more about the Johnson family! 3.5 Stars
Unforgettable is the first book in the Johnson family series and focuses on Ivy and Lucas as the hero and heroine. The two were previously involved with each other and ended up going in separate directions. Ivy appears to want more from the relationship than Lucas who ultimately becomes a "relationship" expert. He decides to accept a teaching assignment and relinquishes his relationship with Ivy. Overall, I thought that this was an interesting book. It's a second chance romance with a slight surprise element that I was necessarily expecting. There was clearly old chemistry between Ivy and Lucas. Their personalities are vastly different and through the text it's clear that Ivy humbles Lucas. He's arrogant in a lot of his thought processes and this is crystal clear in the beginning of the book when readers meet him for the first time at a speaking engagement. This is also a billionaire/heiress romance with Ivy coming from an extremely wealthy family. I wasn't sure how that was going to fit into the narrative of the book, but Diamond makes it work towards the end. Part of this is a classic "princess and the pauper" trope, but it works very well with the characterization. It was a solid read and I'm interested in picking up the next book in the series.

Second Chance Romance
This is a good start to a new series. I enjoyed Lucas' and Ivy's second chance romance. When Lucas started to embrace the idea of being a father, and developing a relationship with his daughter, Katie, I just knew he would try to search his past for answers.
With both he and Ivy being so wealthy, I was kind of disappointed that he wasn't more determined to look into his background.
Otherwise, this was a pretty enjoyable story.

This story was not original to me which is okay but make it better than others. I was not drawn in to the main characters or their relationship and just expected so much more in their building relationship
I picked up the first two books in The Johnson Family series in a used bookstore knowing that book one probably wouldn't be a favorite since I knew what secret Ivy had most likely kept from Lucas. The trope that is the basis of Unforgettable's story is one that I usually just don't like. However, Diamond's writing is enjoyable and the story is well written. Delaney actually kept me reading the story when in many cases I would have just skimmed through just so that I would be familiar with the world and basic characters when I moved on to the next book in the series. I'm counting these as lucky finds and will hopefully read book two before the end of summer.
