UNFORGETTABLE offers everything a diehard romance reader wants in a novel, two very likable characters, a plot that keeps you turning the pages, steamy love scenes, and just a touch of bittersweet angst. Anna and professional football player, Gavin have known each other all their lives. Anna had a crush on Gavin when she was a teen, and has never truly gotten over it. However Gavin sees her only as the little sister of his best friend. Or so Anna thinks. One day Gavin's deadbeat dad drops by for money, and leaves Gavin a gift: His younger brother, Kyle. Abandoned with a brother he's never known by a father who obviously doesn't care about his well-being, Kyle is one lost kid. Gavin, however, steps up to the bat and vows to give Kyle a good home. He will need help though. That's where Anna comes in. Anna owns a catering business that prepares meals for Gavin's football team, the Detroit Lions. He sees her practically everyday. When he asks her to watch Kyle for him when he has to be out of town on away games, and to continue to cook for the two brothers Anna doesn't have to think long before agreeing to the arrangement. But with them in such close proximity, it isn't long before they both discover a strong attraction between them. Attraction? No, more like a burning desire. You will enjoy this heartwarming tale about family, and faith, and discovering that the love of your life is right under your nose!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unforgettable!!!, December 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Unforgettable (Mass Market Paperback)

I am more impressed by each one of Bette Ford's books.

Excellent! She is truly a gifted and skilled writer/storyteller. *This* is what romance fiction novels should be about. She is and has been my #1 favorite romance fiction author for a while. Some of the other romance fiction authors should take a few lessons. Truly.

Unforgettable is her newest and best novel to date. I waited forever for this book to be published. It has now become part of my romance fiction collection. I have all of her books. Buy it, rent it, borrow it and you will not be disappointed. I sometimes think that Ms. Ford does not get the same exposure as the Francis Ray/Brenda Jackson/Rochelle Alers group, but Bette Ford's work is FAR superior on EVERY level and I have been reading this genre for over 10 years.

Where Ms. Ford is an excellent storyteller, I am not, but here it goes:
"Unforgettable" is the story of Gavin and Anna. Bette Ford follows a similar storyline as in "After Dark" (ANOTHER EXCELLENT NOVEL) where a seemingly 'regular' woman falls for a superstar professional athlete. Ms. Ford is a gifted enough writer to lend each story a unique and believable storyline even though each of the two is based on a similar theme.

From onset, you would think having the male protagonist be a professional athlete would not work, "that's not my thing," but I promise you it works. Ms. Ford added just enough dimensions to the Gavin character and his family to give him true depth (for a fiction romance). Anna is believable and has depth as well. Their families are believable and necessary backdrops to the stories in that they provide believable forces and influences for the characters to interact with during the story. Excellent storyline, dialogue, anticipation, hot love scenes, overprotective siblings and add in a little family drama and ambiguity and you have a great Sunday afternoon read. I read quite a lot and I read this in one sitting.

No cheesy underdeveloped, psuedo-action/suspense/mysteries here. Just storytelling at its best. She DOES not disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definetely Unforgettable, August 13, 2004

I absolutely loved this book. The characters are developed, real, and without superficial hangups that can really be a turn off. The elements of family and love are what bring this book alive and keep you reading for more. Anna and Gavin's relationship starts out slowly with their friendship evolving as they can't fight their attraction to one another. The relationship leads to a few complications on the way and the two must decide if their love is strong enough despite what everyone else thinks and says. The love scences are steamy hot yet they are not tacky or tasteless. This is a story of staying true to yourself and fighting for the love you want. You'll want to read this book again once you're done because Anna and Gavin will have you hooked.
This is a must read- Ms.Ford has done excellent work.
