A contemporary fairy tale with a dirty, sexy twist! UNFORGOTTEN PASSION is a modern, sinfully seductive take on Rapunzel.(UNFORGOTTEN PASSION is a STAND-ALONE, second chance fairy tale romance. No cheating. No cliffhangers)
Unforgotten Passion is a sexy take on Rapunzel, if Rapunzel was an overworked pop star with a domineering momager and a hidden longing for her first love. Raevynn and Collin are given an unexpected second chance to rediscover each other, and they make the most of their sweet escape. Their story was charming and steamy, and thoroughly enjoyable!

A sinful twist to the beloved classic tale of Rapunzel who was trapped in the ivory tower by her mother. The storyline was perfect for this second chance romance between Raevynn and Collin.
Raevynn is an international pop star and her mother is her controlling agent/manager. She grew up next door to Collin and the last time they saw one another was seven years ago when they were dating and it was also the night of their first and only sexual experience together. Raevynn went on to be a superstar and Collin went on to live his life working for Maddux Wilder.
This second chance romance is steamy and yet full of really great messages like forgiveness, taking care of yourself, and standing up for yourself.
I think sometimes we forget about the masks we wear at work, around others, with people we try to please, etc…Raevynn is tired, really tired of wearing a mask and always being perfect and it’s a good reminder that it’s okay to step outside and take a break from the mask you might wear. It’s okay to let go of what society wants, what others want, what your boss wants, and just remember what makes you happy.
Unforgotten Passion is a really good addition to the fairy tale series, but completely stands on its own.

This is book #4 in the Dirty Sexy Fairy Tales series and a take on Rapunzel.
The famous pop star Raevynn Walsh was hired to perform at the Wilder Way charity ball. From the outside she looks like she is living the glamorous life but inside she is dying. Rae would give anything to be able to take a break and do things that she would love to do and not what everyone is telling her she has to do. When the concert is over she is surprised to see Collin Donovan….the boy from her past who has never been far from her every thoughts. It turns out he works at the company that is throwing the charity ball. When Rae talks Collin she begs him to take her away from everything even if it only for a few days. She needs a break and he is the perfect distraction so they sneak off and drive to his parents beach house. It turns out Collin was Rae’s high school boyfriend and he broke up with her when she was leaving to try her luck at singing professionally. Rae and Collin quickly reignited their chemistry and realized that they both had not moved on in their romantic lives because they still had feelings for the other. Could a few days together make Rae and Collin realize that the love and passion they felt seven years ago was still going strong? Rae will have to do some deep soul searching to figure out what it is she really wants out of life and will probably need to make some big decisions so she can find her happy ever after but in the end it a second chance at love never felt better.
I enjoyed these two characters and their second chance at love. It was a fun, sweet take on Rapunzel.

I am a fan of cute novellas that I can sit down for a couple hours and escape from the crap and worries circling around in my head. Unforgotten Passion is the escape. It is in Erika Wilde’s Dirty, Sexy Fairy Tale series, so expect some hot moments.
Collin Donovan attends a company sponsored fairy tale ball. Performing at the charity event is Raevynn Walsh, the pop singing sensation of the day. She hit on the scene big after winning a national talent show. She is the fairy-tale-small-town girl who reaches the stars. Collin Donovan knew Rae when they were young neighbors. She was his sister’s best friend, and the girl who owned his heart in high school. He wants to explain what happened when he went to college, and she went to perform. There is unfinished business between them. They both know it.
Rapunzel is one of my favorite fairy tales. Rae is in a tower of success. She should be happy because she has it all. What she really feels is trapped. She is working non-stop for seven years, and it is wearing her down. Colin is successful, kind and loving. I like these two characters. Collin is a protector, but not in a stifling way. His goal is to set Rae free.
Rae is a sweet young woman trying to take control of her life. So many people are pulling her in all directions; she can’t relax. Collin and Raevynn have a past, but there isn’t any anger or resentment between them. Life happened and their paths parted. Now, their time together is talking, playing, and having hot, sexy times. All of which is cathartic for both characters.
Unforgotten Passion is a sweet Calgon moment. It takes me away and I enjoyed the respite. 3.5 Stars

Unforgotten Passion by Erika WIlde is book 4 in the Dirty Sexy Fairy Tales. This is the story of Collin Donovan and Raevynn Walsh. I have read the previous books which of course added to my enjoyment of this one but I did feel this could be a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Collin and Raevynn were once young and in love but they broke apart when Collin made the choice to break them. Now in their present day Raevynn has been a very successful singer who has become dictated to and kept away from so much. Raevynn just wants to break free and get back to freedom not to mention happiness. Collin feeling for Raevynn are still there and he goes to Wilder Way Fairy Tale Ball to just be near her one more time even though he knows she won’t have feelings for him. But he finds she needs rescuing and of course he can’t do anything but help her. This of course leads to them getting close again. This was a wonderful second chance at love along with the underlining Rapunzel fairy tale. Enjoyed this book and series!

I love a second chance romance story, and Erika Wilde totally knocked it out of the ballpark with Unforgotten Passion. As with each of the stories in the Dirty Sexy Fairy Tale series, Unforgotten Passion is a modern day telling of a fairy tale, and it happens to be Rapunzel, which is one of my favorites
Raevynn Walsh and Collin Donovan grew up next door to each other and even dated for a while before Raevynn left and became a super star pop star. I absolutely adored Rae and Collin’s second chance romance. While both had dated others in the 7 years they were apart, neither had ever really forgotten the other. Rae has spent her life pretty much being controlled by her mother. When she leaves the Wilder Way Fairy Tale Ball with Collin, she gets to make decisions for herself for the first time in years.
I loved seeing Rae come into her own once she is away with Collin. It’s like she needed the push of seeing the one man she loved to take back her life finally. Yes she was happy with her music, but until she left with Collin, it was easier to live her status quo. I loved Collin let Rae just be herself and be there for her. Even after 7 years apart, they still had amazing chemistry and I had all the happy sighs the more time they were together. I loved they understood each other completely even after so many years apart. I loved that being with Collin again seemed to give Rae the courage to take control of her life so she could live it to the fullest.
I loved each and every moment of this story and can’t wait to re-read it and fall in love with it all over again. I’ve loved each story in the Dirty Sexy Fairy Tale series so far, and can’t wait to see where Ms. Wilde takes us with future stories.

Rapunzel has help escaping her tower
Collin goes to the annual themed charity event held by the company he works for. But the only reason he’s come is because he knew Raevynn would be present to performWhen he goes backstage after her performance, the bouncer won’t let him through….so he does what any self respecting man does – he calls out to her and prays that after 7 years, she will still recognise him….which she does
Raevynn convinces Collin to help her escape and changes her life in ways she could’ve never expected, but she couldn’t be happier I absolutely loved these dirty, sexy fairy tales and I hope that there will be more but I’m under the impression this might be the last one…but if not I will definitely put them on my too read list

When Collin has the opportunity to reunite with his high school sweetheart he wasn’t expecting that the chemistry and connection would be just as strong as it ever was or that she would ask him to take her away from her life even if it was only for a few days.
Raevynn is a popular pop star who is being weighed down by the stress and responsibilities of her career. What starts out as a need to escape her life for a few days turns into so much more and she must decide if she is willing to fight for what is really important in her life.
Raevynn may not be confined by physical walls but the emotional ones can be even stronger. There is no doubting that Collin and Raevynn belong together and it is finally their time.

I absolutely loved Ericka’s play on Rapunzel story. Collin and Rae’s are High school sweethearts that were torn apart by Rae’s controlling mother. When Collins see’s Rae at the fairytale ball he discovers that all of his feeling for her are still there. When Rae realizes who he is she begs him to take her away from the stress and craziness that her life has become being a famous pop singer. I thought it was a great emotional, fun and sexy story. I can’t wait to see what Ericka has in store for us next.

Rapunzel, let down your hair, there is a sexy, loving man waiting to take hold and be your forever. This is another hit by Erika Wilde, with two people finding their way back to each other for their happily ever after, the way fairy tales are mean to be. A modern take of a fairy tale that has grown up, with sexy times, making your heart beat a little faster and happiness. If you’ve read the previous books in the series, you will continue to enjoy, and, if you’re new to Erika Wilde or Dirty Sexy Fairy Tales, you will go back, read the first 3 and then definitely want more.

This spin on an old fairytale was wonderfully written! It was also a second chance romance, where two people were forced to part ways too early in life, yet life hands them another opportunity to find love. I really enjoyed Raevynn and Collin’s story. They came together as mature adults, with real emotions, and handling their obstacles with a straightforward attitude, rather than the misunderstandings that are usually the crux of these types of stories. It was sexy and thoroughly engaging!

Book 4 in the Dirty Sexy Fairy Tales series is just as fun as the previous 3 books. As with the previous books this one follows what happens to the main characters after the Fair Tale charity ball.
Collin and Raevynn are the modern day Prince Charming and Rapunzel. They were young lovers forced apart by her burgeoning fame and selfish mother. 7 years later they meet again and it’s like no time has passed at all.
This is a true second chance story with virtually no drama. These two are honest about their feelings for each other, their past mistakes, and hopes for the future. It’s a quick and easy read and I enjoyed it very much.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.

Love having a front row seat to Erika Wilde’s books. Unforgotten Passion is that…unforgettable. Collin helps Raevynn escape so she can get a break. They were together when in HS. I loved how they communicated. I love that she was still only his. I loved the joy Raevynn had in enjoying the “normal” things in life again and I love that Erika always gives us a HEA.

Erika Wilde’s Dirty Sexy Fairy Tales make for some fun, steamy reads. I am very much enjoying this series. The latest is Unforgotten Passion, a Rapunzel reimagining. Unforgotten Passion hits the mark with the romance tropes for me, it is a second chance romance with the younger sister’s best friend and add in that she’s a pop star. I loved Collin and Rae’s reunion and how they make an escape and reconnect.
Can’t wait to see what other fairytale retellings Erika Wilde has in store for us.

When Collin has the opportunity to reunite with his high school sweetheart he wasn’t expecting that the chemistry and connection would be just as strong as it ever was or that she would ask him to take her away from her life even if it was only for a few days.
Raevynn is a popular pop star who is being weighed down by the stress and responsibilities of her career. What starts out as a need to escape her life for a few days turns into so much more and she must decide if she is willing to fight for what is really important in her life.
Raevynn may not be confined by physical walls but the emotional ones can be even stronger. There is no doubting that Collin and Raevynn belong together and it is finally their time.
I think this is my favorite of the entire series. I love the fairytale elements throughout the series.
There’s just something about the deep, abiding love that Collin & Raevynn have always shared.

Rapunzel, let down your hair, there is a sexy, loving man waiting to take hold and be your forever. This is another hit by Erika Wilde, with two people finding their way back to each other for their happily ever after, the way fairy tales are mean to be. A modern take of a fairy tale that has grown up, with sexy times, making your heart beat a little faster and happiness.
