Frozen memories
I think this is a debut novel, but I’m not 100% sure.
I loved this book it’s full of twist and turns, leaving breadcrumb clues along the way, at 70% I wrote on a piece of paper what and where I think links them all together, I’m right on one fact, hopefully Forever Memories brings the rest of the puzzle together…which I can’t wait to read.
This book unravels and links some of the past to the present, keeps you turning the pages to find out how the past links to the present, keeping you on your toes.

Great book! Wow, what a way to start off a series. Romance and intrigue. Violence in the background. Can’t wait to see what happens next. The twists and turns kept me glued to my kindle.
Sweet, sexy, and suspenseful!
Claire and Boh are both deeply damaged in their own ways. So naturally, they are drawn to each other. Unfortunately their differences – she a young, serious cupcake and flower shop owner, he a bad-boy ex-con – give them both enough reason to hesitate.
Claire knows she should probably allow her dear friend Dean, a handsome, wholesome police officer, to woo her as he so clearly wants to. And her family is still struggling after the death of her mother in a tragic accident that Claire was in as well – but can’t remember.
Boh knows his rough past and walled off heart should stay far away, underscored when his ex-lover who won’t give up invites fresh drama into their lives.
But it’s hard to fight fate, and as things unfold we realize just how intertwined their lives really are.
With delicious sexual tension (and some even more delicious payoff), real heart-rending emotion, and a helping of mysterious suspense, there is a lot to love in this story, and a lot I can’t wait to find out in book two!
The story of Claire and Boh is intriguing. Two people from different sides of the track, total opposite. She’s sweet; he’s rough. Yet, they’re instantly attracted to each other. It took me a moment to believe in the attraction, but as the author reveals more about the two characters, the more drawn I was into their connection and the more I understand it. I like that this story has characters with depth, suspense, and a clashing sensuality–Claire with her innocence and Boh with his exuding hotness. I can’t wait to see what happens to these two in the next book.
