Forget Me is an extremely touching story involving am man, Jonah Gardiner, struggling against himself and his insecurities while falling in love all over with his one true other. Struggling, also, is Laurel Moor, who is desperately striving to bring her family’s bar out of deep debt after her father’s death. Undercurrents of a deep love run through the novel wanting to surface and take over.
This, the second in the Van Allen Brothers series is just as great as the first, Forgive Me. I cannot wait for the final book, Free Me, to come out.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Forget Me from new to me author Kimberley Ash, is a seductive second chance romance. The two main characters, chef and bar owner Laurel Moore, and psychologist Jonah Gardiner, had a hot and heavy affair about ten years ago. They rekindle their relationship when Laurel moves back into town after her father's passing. With little help from her alcoholic brother and depressed mother, the family's debt riddled bar/restaurant becomes Laurel's responsibility. Jonah used to be the town's bad boy who hung out in Laurel's father's bar. With Laurel back in his life, he is able to conquer the demons of his past.
I liked this story and the secondary characters added a lot of interest the plot. The baggage that Laurel and Jonah have to deal with was intense at times. They are a hot couple, both in and out of the bedroom. The abrupt ending was very disappointing. This is the second book from the Van Allen Brothers series and it can be read as a standalone. Overall, a solid second chance romance with good character development.
Complimentary copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley.

An incredibly realistic and emotionally charged second chance romance.
After Laurel’s father passes away, Laurel returns home to run her father’s bar. She didn’t except to see Jonah again. Jonah was the bad boy that Laurel was warned to stay away from. But, Laurel couldn’t resist Jonah and they ended up having a secret relationship one summer.
Laurel made the decision to leave her family and Jonah when she felt she was being pulled into the same destructive lifestyle that Jonah and her father both shared. She followed her dream of becoming a chef. Jonah cleaned his act up after Laurel left. He went to school to become a phycologist. Now that Laurel is back in town and they are both responsible adults, maybe they can pick up where they left off.
This book pulled me in from the start. I enjoyed seeing Laurel and Jonah discover love again. The scenes were very realistic. The author described addiction and what it can do, to the person and everyone close to them, very well in this book. Be warned this is an emotional story, but well worth the tears you might shed.

A second chance romance based around a bar and well more. If you have read the fist book in this series Forgive me you know a wee bit about the half brothers in this series Lucas is in the first book and Jonah is featured in this book. Each brother has their own book and yes different mother. Life growing up was not easy for Jonah especially since he went to school with his half brother who happened to be the golden boy. Jonah is tattoo'd and frankly hot as heck. We have Laurel who has come back home to help get her family bar and pub back in order after the death of her father. Sadly her father drank himself to death and while he did that he also almost took the bar down with him. Now it will be up to "Chef Laurel" to turn the bar into not just that but a place that will play the bills and bring in the customers. But remember life is not just about work and 10 years ago she left Jonah because he was to much like her dad...now he is completely the opposite will they reconnect on a whole new level? And what happens when the third brother comes home? I can not wait to read Matthias book next.

Forget Me by Kimberley Ash. Book two in the Van Allen Brothers series.
Likable characters and a good storyline. It dragged for me a little. I look forward to reading more by this author.
