A review by hawaiirican808
Unforgettable by H.R. Penrose

5.0

H.R Penrose is going on my list of authors to watch out for when new books come out. I was a little worried going into this read when I saw it was 500 pages, but she really wrote one of the most detailed books I’ve read this month, a true masterpiece in its own right. 

She intricately weaved plot twists, with the essence of suspense throughout the book, keeping her readers guessing, never knowing what twist she has coming next, while still being meticulous in the little details that only added to her story, giving a greater depth into the emotions and characters themselves. Her writing style was one that I easily fell in love with, and loved that she really kept me constantly guessing, I couldn’t tell where she was going with Cheska, Mateo and Nico, or how this was gonna end. That reason alone is why this was a 5 star read. I love when an author not only maintains their writing style, but truly puts their heart and soul into their work, not missing out on the little details. You can tell she really took her time with this entire duet.

The storyline was something I DEVOURED. I love the idea of two half brothers fighting over the same girl on a surface level, but knowing why there’s that heated rivalry between these two that was deeper under the surface. I still don’t know how she was going to choose between them or could imagine how this whole duet unfolded the way it did. My mind is still blown. It wasn’t your typical romance. This one was something raw and real, showing how imperfect main characters can work through their trauma, abuse and flaws to get their own version of a happy ending, even through all the pain, anger and heartbreaking sadness. This book really was a wild ride from beginning to end. One I wish I could relive for the first time forever and will be a duet that sits on my personal trophy shelf. H.R, thank you for one of my top reads this year, I am obsessed with you. And thank you Love Notes PR, for recommending them in your newsletter! 🫶🏽
