She’s gone out of her comfort zone and brought an amazing heartfelt, angsty, and steamy novel that everyone should read.

How do you walk away?
Thats this story..the second chance thats needed and to learn maybe not everything is what it seems…
This will bring you tears, and in qb nature youll need that fan.
5 forget me not stars.
What a wild ride. This story had ups and downs that I was happy to ride because these characters worked hard to get to that ending. It’s a second chance with a flare and I loved both of these characters. Clarke (Bennett) and Olivia were both stubborn and strong characters. They went through some very thought times but the banter they had, the second chance they embraced….. it left me with a smile on my face. I don’t want to give to much away so I’ll leave it short and sweet. It was a beautiful story about trying again and sometimes those second chances can pay off like it did for these two. 4 stars #2OCCJD
This story tugged at my heart right from the beginning. Bennett and Olivia seem to have the perfect life until they didn’t. This takes us from their heartbreak to happily ever after. How one night can change everything. How the person you love the most can hurt you the most. Their story was so real and handled beautifully. It’s a story that will have you thinking about it long after you’ve read it.
Start with an epic love, mix in a heap of heartbreak, then add a dash of amnesia and you get Forget Me Not.
QB really knows how to write characters you root for. I found myself hoping for the HEA while being certain that they’d been through just too much to overcome. Falling in love with Bennett through Olivia eyes was magic.
This book is a prime example of what I love about QB, and I can’t wait to see what she come up with next!
Bennett and Olivia had a great marriage and were a power couple until the pain of betrayal and heartbreak caused them to go for a divorce. Bennett doesn’t remember anything about a divorce or the reasons behind it. Olivia has to deal with that along with the divorce and all the pain. I loved this story and how this couple fought for their happiness.
This book was a bit of fresh air for me.I never read a romance like this before.It was nice change for me,but I’m not too amazed by it,there were some things that were missing.
Bennet fell in love with Olivia the moment he saw her.While Olivia wasn’t too interested he didn’t stop until he swept her of her feet.And their relationship couldn’t be perfect.They supported each other,helped each other,did everything together and never fought.But after trying to have baby and failing,their relationship encountered problems.Olivia became depressed and she isolated herself from Bennet,and in turn he found solace in another woman.That’s how they found them self in the middle of divorce.But then Bennet got in the car accident,and he lost his memory,actually the last two years of his life.In his mind him and Olivia are still very much happy and in love.Now It’s on Olivia to tell him the truth and to help him move forward.
This book was nice and very romantic.Bennet and Olivia were nice couple,but they were both wrong when it comes to their marriage.Olivia more than Bennet.I loved how the book progressed and I liked the way it was written.But the they made up and the book suddenly got too much sex scenes for m taste.I didn’t like how Bennet hid the truth from her and that lowered my rating the most.
Other than that,this was nice read.
This book. This freaking book!!!
First of all, this is my first Q.B Tyler book, but it won’t be my last.
It’s very rare that a book is able to dig into my life so much that it has me reflecting on my own marriage. This is a story about two people in love who were broken and in turn broke each other. Their journey back to each other is truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever experienced. I loved the tension, the angst… The struggle of being in love, but also being hurt. Tyler seamlessly wove their brokenness into a story of healing and finding a reason to believe in second chances. Five plus stars for this one.
This book will blow you away with the all consuming sexiness and emotional journey that the main characters Olivia and Bennett go through.
Olivia is called to Bennett’s hospital bed after he is in a car accident. Dealing with her own feelings and being around Bennett is painful, she filed for divorce 6 months previous and Bennett wakes up not remembering the last two years.
When he wakes, he’s confronted with the harsh reality of now and doesn’t understand why this would have happened. Olivia is the greatest love of his life, ‘forever and ever’. The doctor, who is also his friend, suggests that he move in with Olivia to help bring memories back. This is the last thing Olivia wants, but reluctantly agrees. Bennett takes this as a good sign and vows to win back her and the trust she lost in him.
Bennett and Olivia are one of those couples who live and breathe each other and I genuinely felt the pain and hardship and the love and passion between them.
Bennett, oh wow, he will melt your panties right of. He’s smooth, sexy, possessive and all alpha and wholeheartedly in love with his wife. Although he has made a mistake, he’s remorseful and would never stop trying to win her back.
Olivia, I can understand her reluctance for forgiveness and although she takes some of the blame, she feels guilty for her actions. She loves Bennett, but isn’t sure she can forgive and forget the pain she has went through.
This book will consume you with the angst and the page turner of a story, fighting against right and wrong. The writing was perfection and nailed both sides of the story so well, I had no idea who I favoured most! It will question your beliefs and wrap you up in all the love, pain and heartbreak they go through. The story is very real and shows how hard relationships are and that if you love each other beyond anything else, maybe things can be worked out and a second chance given.
I’m a first time reader of Tyler and her words have hypnotised me, I want to go back and read it all again then devour her back catalogue. A new fan from me and definitely one of my top reads of 2019. I loved it!

As soon as I read the blurb for Forget Me Not by Q.B. Tyler, I knew I had to read it. Emotional and angst-filled stories are my kryptonite and this one ranked high in both categories. Bennet and Olivia were once deeply in love and thought they were forever. Then mistakes happened and their lives were forever changed. But when Bennet loses his memory, all he can remember is his love for Olivia. What happens now?
I loved how strong Olivia was, even in the face of hurt and heartbreak. She was no pushover. Though Bennet could not remember his mistakes, he knew he loved the woman in front of him and would do anything to win her back. I was not sure my heart would survive this story. Q.B. Tyler gave us an emotionally charged story with all kinds of feels.

Happy reading!
This was the first book I read by Q.B. Tyler and my initial reaction after finishing was, wow! This novel was an emotional rollercoaster. I usually start a new novel right after finishing the previous one. However, with Forget Me Not I needed a recovery period. This book pulled at every single heartstring I have. This story is not only full of all the angst you would expect but it is also full of all the love you need. Q.B. has written an incredible novel that exposes the sometimes hard and painful path we must travel to get the love we need and deserve. Second chance romances are one of my favorite tropes to read. Q.B. created a novel that shows how a second chance sometimes happens. She also showed us that the road to get to our happy ever after is not always an easy one, but the ending is oh-so-worth it. Whether you have or have not read a novel by Q.B. Tyler, pick this one up. You will love it and hate it. You will cry and laugh, but you will adore this story and crave it all the way through the end.
Forget Me Not was everything I love in a book! The love and passion yet the realness of heartbreak that unfortunately happens to some. It’s not what we want, one doesn’t want to lose the love of their life or feel anger towards the person they expected to spend the rest of their lives being happy with. They don’t want the pain deep in their chest that never quite goes away no matter how much time has passed or how many apologies have been spoken.
To have an author take hard topics that are experienced in real life and write something so beautifully real.. To see that forgiveness is something that isn’t horrible but can be freeing and healing. It’s amazing to see words written in such a way.
Olivia and Bennett had a love so amazingly raw and powerful, strong emotions from the start and an attraction so deep that the worst betrayal can’t break it completely. An accident that leads to not remembering how badly you hurt the person you love, the person you were supposed to protect yet failed. The path to realization and forgiveness can be a long one but needed! Realizing that failure is usually carried by two parties but often blamed on only one party is hard; fixing it is even harder!
Oh man, Bennett Clarke won my heart over long before he earned her forgiveness. His determination to have the love of his life in his arms and never want to let her go no matter what life threw their way! They way he fought for her! I LOVE when a man steps up and isn’t afraid to fight dirty to get what he truly wants and needs. Olivia was everything I love in a leading lady! Strong and determined to do what she can to heal herself. So many different scenes in this book made me her biggest fan! You’ll see, she’s a force to be reckoned with when you mess with her livelihood; and Bennett Clarke is exactly that!
I loved every bit of this, I couldn’t put it down! It’s definitely going on my reread shelf!
Imagine finding the man of your dreams. Wow. This book. It feels like Q.B. Tyler has just sent me on one of the best emotional roller coasters of the year with Forget Me Not and what a freaking ride!
Olivia and Bennett have everything. They have the kind of love everyone dreams of and strives for. Until they don’t. Then an accident brings back the best of their love, but only after the worst has already done its damage.
Gah! This story! Excuse me as a fumble my way through attempting to review this incredible book! Days later and heart is still beating a million beats per minute. My chest still aches and my breathe is still taken away by the memory of these characters and Q.B. Tyler’s beautiful storytelling. From pain and regret to scorching passion and all-consuming love and the fight it takes to keep it, there wasn’t anything that could pull me away from this story once I had begun to read it. Even as I had to adult and physically set the book down it never left me mind.
Olivia and Bennett’s story, despite its pain and turmoil, is a story the resonates because it’s so firmly about love. About struggling through, overcoming, fighting, and never giving up on love. It’s what the fire that ignited and fueled their chemistry and solidified their connection.
Heartbreakingly beautiful, passionate, unforgettable, and utterly unputdownable, Forget Me Not and Q.B. Tyler’s writing is what five stars looks like. Wow. Read it.
I may have finished this book, but I can most certainly assure you…This book is NOT finished with me! My heart y’all! I felt like I was on a speedway of feels with this one. QB Tyler put on her cute little racing suit, hopped in the driver’s seat and let it rip over and over again around the track and right over my poor little heart. But, not to worry as always my beautiful crafty queen pieced my heart back together better than ever by the end…But she took me for one hell of a ride first! While this book is fantastic and wonderful and everything you are looking for in your “fantasy world your read to get away to”. It is also relatable to real life. Some of these situations . So many people have traveled the same road as our precious Bennett and Olivia and been in some of the very situations that let to the decline in their marriage. I myself have been through some of these very situations. QB was so wonderful in the way she handles the sensitive nature of some of the topics this book deals with. From someone who has dealt with these things personally I can say she handled this with the utmost respect and sensitivity while staying true to her book. I just Love her!!
“You’re not the only one broken, Olivia”.
Now, everyone’s journey is a little different , but just as personal and deep as this one was. This story was told in alternating POV’s. The timeline takes place in current times but also going from the present time back to the past times in their nine year relationship. It’s so well written that it flows flawlessly between the time hops. That’s a testament to how awesome a writer QB is. I have seen authors jump times and it does not work out well AT ALL! This is not an issue for QB Tyler at all and this book seamlessly goes from past to present.
Bennett and Olivia are FIRE! They have been together for 9 years. They met when Olivia was in college studying for finals. They fall hard and they fall fast. They are the most important people in each other’s lives and are so full of passion. They have the type of love and marriage people dream about and are envious of. For a long time , everything is absolutely perfect.
But their Plans and dreams don’t quite go how they had envisioned and some real life , real devastating things begin to happen. How they respond to those events sets off a heartbreaking chain of reactions and consequences.
Olivia is this vibrant woman of color. She’s successful and sassy and smart. From the moment Bennett first saw her he knew she was it for him, she was unlike anyone he’d ever met.Gah! The love this man has for this woman, y’all! They are So.Freakin.Hot!
On the outside, Bennett is this GQ model looking man. I’m talking total office wet dream, alpha AF tattooed god underneath his business suit and can wear the hell out a pair of dark jeans and a white t-shirt, kinda fine! But he’s a good man, who loves his wife, is an amazing friend, and devoted son. Who made a huge horrible mistake. That he doesn’t remember making.
Where Our Story Really Begins…
Olivia is struggling with forgiving Bennett and herself. Bennett can’t forgive himself because he doesn’t remember what he did! She’s dealing with her own insecurities for things. But She IS Bennett’s world, and he still IS hers too. She has been since the moment he met her and probably always will be. This book is tough. You feel the devastation on ALL sides. For them both. It’s like this never ending “cluster F” of hurt inflicted to each other by each other. Neither meant to, it just happened. Where do they go from there though? What happens when they take two steps forward only to take three steps back?
Do not miss this book. Pick it up ASAP! It’s a stand-alone. Gah! Such an amazing one too !This must read book will make you cry, it will make you laugh, it will break your heart, but it will heal your heart too!
*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book!

Cliffhanger Warning-NO CLIFFHANGER. #PERFECTION This HEA was fought long and hard for.
FOREVER AND EVER
Olivia and Bennett are forced to stay together because of an accident, and these two broken souls are desperate to fix past mistake, however, is their love enough on this bumpy road? No spoilers, this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a beautifully written story which this gifted author has given her heart and soul into. This story is raw, gritty, realistic, complex, and is a draining, poignant love story. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I highly recommend for all.
I’m going to preface this review by saying that I DO NOT LIKE ANGSTY BOOKS! I know there are a ton of people out there who love that uptick in heartbeat, that knot in the bit of your stomach, that achy feeling while reading. I am not her. SHE IS NOT ME.
When I heard QB was writing one of those kinds of books I sighed deeply, because I will read whatever she writes, but I wasn’t happy about it. Then I met Bennett and Olivia, and I understood it. I understood all of it, their love, their pain, their heartache.
They are two souls desperate to fix the mistakes of their past, but neither of them knows where to start. They love each other, that much is clear from the start, but is love enough?
After an accident forces Bennett and Olivia under the same roof, the two are forced to confront all the unresolved hurt between them. Tyler weaves a tale that is so real and so relatable that you can’t help but root for these two. It isn’t always pretty, it isn’t always perfect, but that’s love. That’s life after the credits roll and the screen fades to black.
Five forever and ever stars.
I am in awe of QB Tyler. This is without a doubt her best work yet. It’s difficult to even put in words the emotions that Forget Me Not made me feel. Angst through the roof. Sexiness through the roof. Alpha-ness through the roof. Hot af sexiness through the roof. Did I mention that one already?
We follow married couple Bennett and Olivia post-separation… after Bennett has been in a car accident and suffered memory loss. Specifically, the fact that he and his wife are no longer together. However, our heroine is still very much heartbroken despite the fact that her husband doesn’t realize anything is wrong and is mentally living in a time when they were happy.
This story is phenomenal. Just. Phenomenal. 5 stars isn’t enough. 10 stars isn’t enough. I seriously cannot convey to you how amazing this book is. How amazing their journey is. There is no doubt in my mind that everyone should read this book. Now!
Ever since I read Spring Semester I fell in love with Q.B. Tyler’s writing. She really knows how to pull me in her stories and I am unable to stop and put my kindle down and take a breather because her stories are so consuming that they literally have my undivided attention.
Olivia and Bennett, god these two were so damn hot throughout the book.
What happens when you can’t seem to stop loving the one person that means the world to you but has broken you in so many ways that you just can’t forgive and forget?? My heart really was hurting for Olivia and even though I won’t bad mouth Bennett for doing what he did that caused their divorce, I do not agree with how he went about trying to drown his pain and suffering. But I loved Bennett and he certainly knew how to grovel to the woman he loved. Even though he might have forgotten the past 6 months in the accident, the one thing for sure he never forgot was the love he had for Olivia.
I get that Olivia had checked in her marriage out but when you go through the things she went through it’s pretty hard not to feel the way she did. I also get that Bennett got to the point where he just didn’t know what to do anymore and nothing he did or said seemed to help out their situation. He ended up on a road block so what else could he have done!
Although they both loved each other so much and knew that they were meant to be together, they also knew that the circumstances that brought them to where they currently were was going to make things even more complicated for them, especially Olivia.
But in the end, everything turned out the way it should have. The key word is “communication” and not everyone is good with it and both Olivia and Bennett were not communicating well when shit hit the fan in their marriage.
But damn those sex scenes were to die for. Q.B. Tyler literally had me completely hyperventilating with her erotic words. This book has really made my weekend 🙂
Wonderful book! All the emotions, the heartache, the regret that Liv and Bennett go through are things that anyone can, and probably have, gone through…..this is why I really loved this book. Briefly, Bennett is in a car accident and doesn’t remember the past 2 years. During those 2 years, he and Liv’s marriage has taken a beating and they eventually separate and are in the process of divorcing. I don’t want to give anything else away. You just have to read this book!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I had the pleasure of reading this book early. With every book Q.B. Tyler writes I think it’s my favorite and then she writes another and I’m blown away with her writing skill and how easily she has me falling in love with her characters. Bennett and Olivia are no different. I loved them from page one. They ripped my heart out and put it back together. Not only does QB write beautiful stories but she knows how to steam up the pages. I promise you this story will stay with you long after you finish. I can’t recommend it enough.
