Full Review on my blog!

Where do I start? The Unforgettable Kind wasn’t what I was expecting, I definitely have mixed feelings, (more good than bad) and while this book is technically centered around football its so much more than that.

I'll admit it took me a while to get into, the beginning 40% of the book felt like an overload of football talk, and I know the main character Sam is basically a football enthusiast but it just felt like too much. If it wasn't for that part I would have liked it more. And I'll be honest, I skipped a few paragraphs here and there because of it, but things started picking up and I became fully invested in the story.

Like I said, it's so much more than football, we get to follow Samantha, aka Sam and Kade on their journey back to one another. We learn of their past and get to see their present relationship form. It gave us a good insight to the story of Sam and Kade. I loved the characters and how the story was told. Their story is really heartbreaking. They have so much chemistry, I was literally on the edge of my seat screaming at them to just get together already! But as much as I wanted them to be together, it was all about the pacing of the story which was good, considering their past and how much Sam didn't want to know the truth. It was annoying at times yet satisfying, just waiting for them to have that talk near the end. Which let me tell you felt like an eternity to get to the point of the story, there was so much suspense on the BIG 'why' question, but once we got to it, I felt really immersed and it felt relatable in ways.

Also, there's an interesting twist involving the mafia, BUT that's all I'll say about it! You'll have to read the book! We get to know more about in the last few chapters, which were spicy, imo!

I'm really happy I finished this one, it's worth the read. I definitely recommend it, especially if you like sports romances and drama!

If I reconnected with my nemesis in the way that Olivia did with Ben, you would never hear from me again.

I’m a sucker for witty female characters so the minute Olivia was introduced, I fell in love with her.

I don’t know what it is about enemies to lovers that I can’t seem to shake. There’s just something about falling in love with someone that you used to want to put their hand into a blender.

As if she were the only thing standing between him and mental destruction.
She was his asylum.”

If anyone ever said this about me I would marry them on the spot, I’m not even kidding.

The actions of the main protagonists of the story were heavily influenced by the past trauma of what happened all those years ago. I loved that both Olivia and Ben’s main arc of their characters was their desire to break out of their old patterns or pasts.

I would’ve rated this story higher but I couldn’t due to me wanting the resolve of the issues that had been the main part of the story to be dragged out a bit further. I love angst and I just would’ve enjoyed if it had carried on for a few more chapters than it was.

Overall, this story was enjoyable and I’m excited to see what comes next in the Shell Grove series.

Thank you to Melanie Munton for providing me this arc!

Meh. I'm not sure what possessed me to request this. It made me cringe within the first few minutes of reading this book and the characters… yeah no. I get the appeal. I do. And the concept, I'm all for it but sorry, this wasn't for me. At all.

4.5 stars

I saw a teaser for this book and immediately had to go digging for more information on it. I hadn't read anything from this author before this but I can guarantee I will be looking into more from her now.

I am a sucker for southern charm and these characters had it in great abundance. However, that wasn't what made me fall in love with the story, instead, it was the interactions between the characters. Their dialogue, inner musings, and banter were perfect. I also appreciated the cute chapter names and watching them connect. Even though this technically is an instant-love type of romance it never felt that way. Time was meaningless and didn't really focus on the story. Instead, it felt natural and was adorable.

Great secondary characters that I hope will get their stories too. I LOVED the preview of the next book to come. There were some editing issues in regards to misused words or spelling but I am assuming those will be fixed in the final editing process.… (mere)
