Publisher's summary

Texas cowboy Shea Montgomery has plans. Big plans. Still mourning the loss of his beloved father, he’s finally ready to sell the Forget Me Not ranch. He’s dusting off his boots, packing up his cowboy hat, and moving to New York City to make his dreams come true. So what if he won’t have his horse to ride or a place to call home? He’ll make it work. Somehow. First, he has to deal with a bunch of corporate types who don’t know the front end of a horse from the back. Especially this one guy who can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Or out of Shea’s mind.

Jake Axelrod’s perfect family is shattered when his daughter stops speaking and his husband ends their marriage. Two years later, she remains locked in silence, and Jake has closed himself off. His life is structured to the minute, and Jake is convinced he’ll be alone forever, until he’s forced to attend a company retreat at a dude ranch in Texas, where he meets a cowboy who sends him spinning out of control.

Jake can’t help falling...off his horse, out of a rowboat, and into Shea’s arms.

And Shea is more than willing to catch him.

Neither man wants to let go, and the time they spend together only makes it harder to be apart. A decision needs to be made: work it out or say good-bye. Jake’s life is in New York, but he can’t walk away from Shea or the ranch, and Shea must decide if the dream of a lifetime will lead him right back to the place where he started - where his heart belongs.

Second Chance Romance/City guy meets hot and sexy

Like always everyone wants to get away from Small Town America and go to a Big City Life, but is city life what's it cracked up to be?
Then you have the City Slickers who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, where people never sleep and the trains run 24/7.

As we delve into this fabulous work from Felice Stevens nothing is what it's cracked up to be. The only thing that matters is having that special someone, a love you thought you never deserve, friends and family (non blood related) who will always be there for you.

This is a feel good romance with low angst, HEA and Second chance.

Forget Me Not be Felice Stevens

Story-line: 5 Stars

Audio: 5 Stars

Leave it to Felice to make a romance in a western setting so swoon-worthy! I have devoured so many of her works and I've particularly enjoyed those set in New York City. But this delight has produced a scorching hot and tender novel which centers around a Texas ranch called the Forget Me Not. Shea is everyone's fantasy cowboy. Fanning self, despite being in a freezing room. He is handsome and has even done some modeling for “drum roll” underwear ads. He feels an obligation to the ranch even though he yearns to be living in the big city and taking a chance on a modeling career.

His Dad recently passed away and the two had a very special and close relationship. He couldn't leave while his father battled his illness and now he's still working on the ranch where he meets an HR executive named Jake and is not prepared for his fiery attraction. Shea has a lot on his plate, dealing with the death of a beloved parent, obligation to the ranch and now Jake.

Jake has a precious daughter that became mute without any plausible explanation. His husband was a jerk who couldn't handle the pressure of not having a perfect child and left them both. Jake loves his time at the ranch and decides it might be a nice experience for his daughter.

I teared up as a little girl flourished and gained confidence at the ranch. She's simply blossomed and the animals were almost healing with their charming interactions. Can this perfect Ranch heal the troubled little girl?

If you love cowboys, kids and animals you're in for a major treat. I highly recommend this tender romance of two men trying to figure out how they can make the distance between them work and help a little girl in the process.

Audio: Narrator, Tristan James

Dang this narrator, I loved his southern twang. The easy and soothing voice of Shea was a delight. It was very easy to differentiate the various characters which is always important to me. The production was professionally done and so very perfect to melt into. I love being transformed to different places and this audio made me feel I was in a wonderful ranch filled with down-to-earth people.

The passion between Jake and Shea was well-represented. I loved how strong the relationship became and I was caught up in their feelings and emotions. Reading the book I enjoyed the descriptions of the scenery but hearing it in the audio made it feel even more real. That scene where Jake nearly drowned and is reunited with his daughter made me cry. The audio was a perfect complement to this fabulous story and I highly recommend it.

Unexpected Love

This is a sweet story about finding love when you don't expect it and the path it can take you. I enjoyed watching Jake and Shea start with interest and passion and grow into something real, a relationship that they can count on. Add in a sweet little girl overcoming a trauma and this story had all the feels! Tristan James is a great narrator, and I loved his cowboy drawl!

Looking for a sweet, low angst story to make you happy? Love cowboys? Give this a listen, Felice Stevens and Tristan James deliver!

Outstanding!!

I serious loved Shea and Jake. Shea runs the Forget Me Not Ranch and Jake is the head of Human Resources at a company in NY. When Jake goes to the Forget Me Not in Texas for a company getaway, he meets Shea. Jake has a mute daughter and a lot on his plate. Shea is an underwear model and has always dreamed of going to New York. They have an immediate connection and serious chemistry. Loved, Loved, Loved this story so much!! Tristan James did a great job with the narration, overall Fantastic!!!

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR UNTIL YOU F

I received this audio book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review.

I love the way that Felice portrayed her characters and the narrator did a superb job in doing the voices but carried an accent into one of the other characters that did not have one. The flow of the story was great and liked the way that the narrator paused between chapters and didn’t do a run-on of the words.

The story is about two men, one trying to get away and another needing to find himself and help his daughter. The first interaction, with false suppositions, led the story into an interesting plot of how the truth would come out. After that, the characters took on a life of their own and led to a great read.

A Texan cowboy, a New Yorker and a Little Princess

Story: A beautiful, almost fairy tale like story of a cowboy falling in love with a New Yorker, who happens to be a single dad. In staple Felice Stevens fashion, the characters are complex and 100% lovable, the secondary characters brilliantly woven into the story and the plot itself is captivating. There is quite a lot of past hurt in this one, but the angst is perfectly balanced with the sweet and silly. Loved every minute with this book!
Narration: I really liked the performance! A pleasant voice and good acting!

A Real Romance filled with warmth

Sweet m/m romance between city and country guys. Throw in a cute little girl and a ranch and it gets a little sweeter. It's not too sweet though - it's just the right blend. I liked the book, one of those you could listen to several times in your life and feel good for a few hours.
The one thing that really stood out for me about this book is the warmth the author was able to express in her characters and in the overall story. I cannot explain it very well, but I could feel the warmth and depth of the two guys and it made the romance better. Yes, there is a real romance.
Throw in Tristan James, who is one of my favorites, and you have a very enjoyable listen.

It's light, breezy, sexy, and sweet.
Brings very few tears, a few laughs, and a whole lot of feel good.

Beautiful listen!

This is such a beautiful listen. I love Shea and Jake! Felice Stevens just made me fall so in love with these two and Stacey. I just love listening to this amazing story. Tristan James does such an amazing job. I just love all the voices he brings and all the emotions. I just couldn't stop listening. I just fell more in love with this story. Absolutely love it!

Awesome

I really loved this book. The main characters in the secondary characters just jumped off the page. I like the emotion of it in Jake and Shaw Where unbelievable. You could feel the emotion coming off the page. In the narration just brought it to life.
