Forget Me Not

De: Karissa Kinword

Narrado por: Jaclyn Kelso

After years of forming an intimate bond with a mysterious man every time she closes her eyes to dream, a young woman—Eliza—forces herself to find a fulfilling life outside the confines of her own mind.

Along with her partner Logan, she roams the safely discovered planets and moons of a newly traversable galaxy by inter-galactic transport, centuries after the evacuation of humans from Earth to a new home, Otera.

Silas, the unknown man in Eliza’s dreams, has spent most of his life as a contract pirate, formally known as a Mako, mining the unexplored lands of dangerous moons to earn a living. Having dreamt about a woman he’s never met every night for as long as he can remember, Silas has never allowed himself a relationship that reaches beyond physical, confident that one day, he would find the woman in his fantasies somewhere in the universe.

With Silas returning to the Otera, following a final job for a man to which he owes a debt, and Eliza heading back home after visiting the Glade moon with her partner, the two come face to face as both of their connection pods land on a transport vessel heading in the same direction.

Eliza is attached to, and traveling with, her long-term partner, and Silas is fulfilling a dangerous deal with a crime syndicate, with whom he has a past. Forced into the same proximity for the duration of travel, they struggle to understand what it means for them to finally meet when the universe seems to be pulling them both in different directions.

When the pair bond over their shared love for forgotten Earth-age classic literature, and the ways in which each have fallen in love with the other in their dreams, Eliza is torn between the life she’s always known on the Otera with her partner, and the infinite possibility of a future with the man she knows is her soulmate.

A dream for the ears!

I love how this story resonates with the dreamer in me. I still have a lot of questions about the ending, though. Jaclyn’s performance is top notch. It’s one thing to read the words, it’s completely different when each character is brought to life so distinctively. Each characters tonality was uniquely their own. I laughed, pouted, blushed (cause Jaclyn acting out the smut can do that to me). Key word, acting, not just narrating.

Good story but a few issues

I had to wait 24 hours to make this review to think about my review. First, this audiobook screams for duel narration. Secondly, the first person and third person views were difficult to follow. And lastly my big issue, if I had a choice I would have skipped the epilogue. Just me probably. Overall I loved it but the epilogue hurt me.

Could not put this book down!

I saw this book on a social media platform and immediately searched for it. I was a little skeptical because of its setting, but holy crow, it was worth the chance. Easily became on of my favorite books. I immediately recommend it to two people who aren’t put off by sex scenes and have a love of books.
The author did an AMAZING job with this story. I honestly loved the way the conflicts and their resolutions felt authentic and not over dramatized.
Lastly, the narrator did a wonderful just bringing this story to life. I honestly was shook.
For sure want a physical copy of this book.

Could not stop listening!

I found this recommended on a social media app and decided it sounded like something I would like: fated mates and sci-fi. This book was so, so good, it consumed my thoughts for 3 days until I finished it. I wanted to do nothing but listen to this audiobook, but alas I have a job and kids. It was such a beautiful love story with plenty of delicious spice. I also want to say that Jaclyn Kelso’s narration was an absolutely divine performance!

Sweet sweet dreams

I was lucky enough to have read the early stages of this story before it was edited and published and i have to give a huuuuge thank you to the author for writing this beautiful story. I loved every minute of it. So fascinating. So romantic. I’ve been asking myself over and over “how does someone come up with an amazing story like this??” Incredibly written and performed. Thank you to everyone involved with this work of lovely art.
