Unforgettable by Elise K. Ackers

Unforgettable by Elise K. Ackers

Synopsis- In hospital following a near-fatal accident, Conner has temporary retrograde amnesia, and there’s a blank slate where the last three years of his life should be. It’s a woman with haunted eyes and secrets who offers to help him rediscover his past.

Colleague, friend and ex-lover, Emma warns Conner they must be discreet. No one knows about their past relationship, and for the sake of their jobs, no one can. She reintroduces him to his life and the fascinating redevelopment project they are working on, and the more he wants a future with her in it.
But Emma Blames herself for Connor’s accident and she won’t confess to what broke their relationship in the past. Now Conner is fighting for love, for his job, and another chance.

Review- Following a serious accident, the love of Emma’s life and colleague, Connor awakes in Hospital with temporary amnesia. He can’t remember the last three years and as a result has no recollection of having ever met Emma let alone their intense relationship that ended in disaster.
When she arrives at the Hospital- despite her having his supposed girlfriend Asha in tow- he can’t help but be drawn to Emma and want to know her better. Emma is devastated by Connor’s memory loss and it takes much of her self-control to reign in her love for him and be the friend he needs through this difficult time. When he asks her to help him remember his past, she reluctantly agrees, fearing the close proximity to him will break her heart all over again.
It isn’t long before Connor begins to fall head over heels in love with Emma, again. She resists the temptation at first but then succumbs to a second chance at being intimate with Connor. But there’s something about her past she’s holding back, the very same secret that shattered their relationship the first time around and she is petrified of a repeat ending. Connor insists that whatever she is hiding won’t send him running again, but Emma’s fear of losing not only Connor’s admiration but it’s also their friendship that keeps her from telling him the truth. Just as she feared, the reaction she predicted eventuates and Emma is faced with overcoming the loss of Connor in her life, yet again.
Unforgettable is an intense contemporary romance that explores the possibilities of a second chance for a couple when their history is wiped clean. The intensity of the feelings Emma has for Connor is obvious from the outset and she tries so hard to guard herself from falling for him again. Emma is a strong, hard-working protagonist who is loyal to her friends and committed to Connor’s recovery. Connor is a laid-back kind of guy who likes to joke around and really compliments Emma’s more serious nature quite well. I really enjoyed seeing this couple retrace their steps and because of his openness, I was more drawn to Connor than Emma initially, but as her story unfolded I empathised with Emma immensely.
I did have some reservations about the conflict in the story, because I wasn’t totally convinced. The secret Emma kept from Connor didn’t really seem like that big a deal to me, beside the fact that the other person involved  was despised by Connor (I’m trying not to give too much away!). So Connor’s reaction also felt a little over the top. I also couldn’t understand why Emma was so hung up about keeping their relationship (the first time around) a secret in the workplace. I understand that Emma was in a position of authority and Connor was her employee, but they worked in a project management role, it wasn’t like she was a doctor or therapist or in a position where her power could be abused. The author did a good job at trying to flesh out this conflict, because I think the secretiveness really tapped into some of Emma’s core values of wanting to be perceived as professional and keep her personal life separate- but I just couldn’t relate to how far she was willing to keep it a secret given her occupation.
That aside, I really enjoyed how Emma and Connor’s relationship re-developed and the effort Connor went to make it up to Emma was really sweet and thoughtful. Both characters grew and learnt from their past mistakes to make the most of their second chance to make things work. Fitting with the genre, their romance does have a happily ever after and a very satisfying ending. Unforgettable is Elise’s first novel published with Escape Publishing (previously published with Destiny Romance) and I believe was originally self-published. I’ve really enjoyed the various stories Ackers has released over the past six months with romance digital imprints in Australia and I’m sure there will be plenty more!

Connection

Why aren’t you here? Why haven’t you contacted me? Not for your own selfish needs, (No, that text message in the middle of the night to”call you back, because you were stressed out” doesn’t count) but to ask how I am.
I love love love getting texts from your sister, not because she’s my closest friend, but because she’s my only connection to you.

inbox

Inbox
I check my email often, perhaps a little too often, but one things for sure- each time I check- there’s only one name I want to see in my inbox. And alas today it was there. Opening my email and seeing it, gave me a flutter. Made my heart skip a beat. I wondered what you finally decided to say to me. Let it be known I sent you 4 prior emails, and you have not emailed me in two months. On August 29th you said we should “be friends” and keep in touch, because you cared about me…Yes, I want you as a friend but no I don’t want to get a random email from you after two months, that has nothing to do with any of the previous emails I sent you. I think about you everyday. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I miss you and more importantly LOVE you. Seeing that email in my inbox always makes me hopeful thinking that you are going to come back for me and we are going to run away together, and I’m going to tame the wild animal inside you. Not cage you just tame you. read the Awekener, the story of Helen Weaver and Jack Kerouac. You are my Jack. Come back.

in a second

in a second

i don’t know if it’s better to keep it to myself or say it out loud, but i feel like we’ve already crossed this line in a million tiny ways that what the fuck.
i know you obviously have a bazillion and ten things going on and certainly don’t need extra confusion, but i just feel like it’s only fair that i am totally clear that i would make out with you in a second. not just like when we talked about it before and i acted all casual about it, like, yeah, i would do that again if you are up for it. but more like, i just want to. of course being friends with you is far more important than making out and i value your friendship so fucking much it’s ridiculous. so i don’t want to jeopardize that and i feel confident enough in our friendship that i don’t think this email will, regardless of how you take it. and please know me well enough to know that it also doesn’t matter and won’t impact me or us if you just say um, no. or if you disregard this entirely.
so that’s quite enough embarrassment for one email.
don’t ignore me at school tomorrow.
*editors note: this does not qualify as an “unsent letter.” sent it word for fucking word. i’m just a glutton for public self-shaming, apparently.

True North

True North

You are my true north. My soul mate. I thought I could keep you happy forever well I hoped I could. You were the brightest light that ever shined in my direction.
The times we spent together I will treasure forever. Everyone thinks I’m crazy for going on and on about you, especially since I am 11 years your senior. Age never mattered. When my friends tells me you are only 21 and only after one thing, I never understood. If you were only after one thing I never would have known.
i love you because- you are smart, beautiful, caring, passionate, compassionate, and the most lovable caring person I have ever met in my life. my life without you is sad, and lonely and unfulfilled. You know I love my job, and all that goes along with it, then there are the happy times I wish I had someone to share with. Then there are the sad times I wish you could hug me and make everything better.
I don’t want to find someone like you or get over you, because you are him, the man I wish to be with forever and ever and ever. I may not get that chance, and I hope the woman who does appreciates you in the most raw form.

Older Man

Older Man

You are the only considerably older man who is legitimately attracted to me. In a pretty sure you’d take me in the back and fuck me kind of way.
At first I thought you had taken a sort of fatherly interest in me and my life and my potential future accomplishments.
Then I got a little older and you took a maybe exaggerated interest.
I have the feeling you were always the sort of man who got what you wanted.
Don’t get me wrong, flirting with you is fine, if you think that the friendly chatting and laughing we occasionally do is flirting.
And if I was a different person I just might take you in the back and fuck you.
But here is the thing. Even though he’s married, I would still much rather fuck your son. Even though he’s married, I’m pretty sure he would be absolutely heartbroken, disgusted, horrified, devastated if I did fuck you.
I don’t actually want to fuck you, so it’s not a problem. I don’t get off on the idea of doing an older man. I’m not particularly attracted to you. I’m not particularly unattracted to you either. Someone might argue this is one of those life experiences you are supposed to go for.
You did call me a vixen that one time.
Is that supposed to make me feel good? Or feel guilty that I somehow made you think I was being flirtatious with a man who is old enough to be my father. Who’s son I have a thing for.
