Ooh my what they go through is so powerful
I hadn’t read this type of a paranormal romance with fallen angels and soulmates. This book was really excellent and I enjoyed the storytelling and the world it created. The love between its characters Willow and Aric is epic and eternal. The choices made by each in this book are towards the good of the other and towards healing and true love. I really recommend this book and this entire series.

This was the second book in this series. Blaine convinced Willow to become a Fallen without Fate knowing. Willow was Aric’s soulmate so the Guardians were searching for Willow in this interesting and exciting romantic angels versus the Fallen. Good read

I thought Raven’s struggles was bad, but boy Aric takes the cake in regards to tormented soul with how things were left with his soul mate Willow when he was ousted from Heaven along with his brothers. Learning how Willow sees how things went down and how she felt when Aric left and what she went through in the proceeding years, you get why she could be swayed by Blaine who still confuses me in regards to some of the things he does. There are loads of feels to go through with this book and times where you want to shake sense into both Aric and Willow as well swoon at the love they share, the sadness of Willows loss and then not knowing if Willow and Aric will finally be together after everything they go through. This is definitely turning into one addictive series!!

Aric was sent to earth on a mission to try to get Blaine a fallen angel back but when this happened it ripped him from his true love Willow She has been bitter for centuries believing that it was his choice to leave her so when a fallen gives her a chance to go to earth she takes it. This reunites the two lovers but it could also destroy them Will their love be strong enough to see them safe or are they both destined to destroy one another You will have to read to see
WOW!!!! What else is there to say. This was a really HOT story, and you will be missing out if you do not read it. I could not put it down it was that good!
A story well worth losing sleep over.

The moment I started reading this story I couldn’t help myself I had to finish it before I could even think about going to sleep.
A tough, gritty, and remarkable world created by Cassie Laelyn were fate can be a double edge sword kind and compassionate on one side and cruel and cunning the other.

Unforgotten is book 2 in The Fallen Guardians series and tells the story of Aric and Willow. After being exiled from Heaven by Fate, Aric is forced to live on earth for centuries without his soulmate Willow. Aric is able to hold onto his faith in one day reuniting with Willow, but overtime Willow starts growing more and more bitter and resentful. After a Fallen convinces Willow to fall to earth so she can start over without her soulmate connection to Aric, they finally cross paths and are reunited. However, Willow is not the same angel that Aric left behind.
At times, I was frustrated with Willow and I honestly didn’t really start to like her until about halfway through the book. There is a lot of pain and feelings of betrayal in this book that Aric and Willow have to work through together. Willow feels like Aric chose his duty to his fellow guardians over his love for her and feels like Aric abandoned her in Heaven. Even with all of the pain and hurt, this is still a sweet, second chance romance and you can’t help but root for Aric and Willow’s happily ever after. They both have to make some hard choices and decide what is the most important thing to them. This is such a unique world that Cassie Laelyn has built and I can’t wait to read EJ’s story next!!
Aric and Willow are the epitome of soulmates. They are everything we all strive to find. Despite so many obstacles and centuries of being apart filled with sadness and loss and thoughts of betrayal and lies, these two cannot break that bond that holds them together. Aric is the most loyal character I have read and I love that about him. Willow is pure and kind despite decisions she has made that could end in disaster. These two stand the test of time and I cannot express how much I love them. Another page turner by the great Cassie Laelyn and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for these Guardians and the women who brought them to their knees.
It takes some fine writing to hold my attention, and this author did an outstanding job! Details, heartbreak, and passion weave a tale of the Guardian, Aric, and his soulmate angel, Willow, separated by choices and regrets, only to be pulled back into each other’s arms by unwavering love. Fans of paranormal romance will be taken with the story then left longing for the next! Read it! You won’t regret it!
Fantastic! A sexy, gripping story. Eager for more in this series.

~REVIEW~
The Quick and Dirty: Guardian angel finds out his soulmate is planning to make the transition to Fallen angel. He attempts to save her.
Aric is a guardian angel who has been exiled from the heavens by Fate, the female deity in charge, until he completes his mission of saving his former brother Blaine, now a Fallen. It’s been three centuries and his soulmate Willow has mistakenly believed that he chose to leave over staying in the heavens with her. As her powers begin to fade in her grief and anger, she decides to align herself with Blaine and make the fall, with his promise that she’ll regain her powers. Things don’t go as smoothly as she hopes. When Aric finds her in the mortal realm, mid-transition, he has to convince Willow of the truth and his love for her before she completes the fall and cuts their soul ties forever.
I went into this book enjoying the premise, but as the story moved along I unfortunately found myself falling out of love with Willow and Aric. There were moments I wanted to shake Willow because her priorities were skewed and she came across as irrational and whiny. With Aric, I found myself annoyed that for how close the brothers are supposed to be, I didn’t feel it. He lashed out and disregarded opinions like it was easy instead of turning to them. I also had trouble with the pacing at certain points. A lot of time was spent trying to convince Willow not to fall and not as much time on the action that would have moved the story along. Overall, I think like a house, this book has good bones, but it needs a little bit more to make it really shine.

What an amazing story! Unforgotten, the second instalment in Cassie Laelyn’s Fallen Guardian series is unique, beautifully written and sizzling! Willow and Aric’s individual journeys toward their HEA are gut-wrenching and impossible to put down. The stunning and rugged beauty of the Australian high country is beautifully woven into the tale and matches the story perfectly for unique character and edgy action. I love that this story follows immediately on from Unforsaken. It felt like visiting old friends and I highly recommend this book as either a standalone read, or even better after reading book 1.
What an epic story!! So many decisions Aric and Willow had to make all with Fate giving them forks in the road. Blaine the very temperamental bada** coerces Willow to fall. The strength between soulmates is the strongest magic. This story will constantly have your heart cracking just to stitch it back together! The Fallen Guardians series is a must read paranormal romance full of action and hot hot Angel romance.
I recieved an ARC in exchange for a honest review
Unforgotten by Cassie Laelyn is the second book in ‘The Fallen Guardians’ series. This story focuses on the characters Aric and Willow. Aric is a Guardian who has been exiled from Heaven with his brothers by Fate. But he isn’t going to let that stop him when it comes to the woman he left behind, his soulmate who is now in human form.
Willow has had a long time to become bitter and hurt, all which affects her angelic powers. When a offer arises which means that she can leave the angelic plain she takes it but it will come at a cost bigger than she feared. Here we have a couple whose relationship is already cemented but changed due to so much time apart. One of the biggest issues that both Willow and Arik face is lack of communication which leads to misunderstandings on both their parts.
What I really enjoyed about this story is the relationship between the promise one has made to duty and the promise that one has made to those you love. This is kind of the theme throughout the story that comes across from both characters. It is an emotional, roller-coaster ride of a book and you feel for both characters and the situations they find themselves in.
This is a new author for me and it looks like this series is going to be in one of my go to lists when it comes to paranormal romance which is a little bit different. A really good read!
