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.

Good

I love the story and really did enjoy listening, but I think I’ve been spoiled by the best narrators from other audiobooks because this one, while not the worst, was just not one who inspired me. When he went heavy on the cowboy accent it just seemed silly. I know that is probably really tough to do, but it did take away from the sexiness that could have been there.

Low angst, feel good listen!!😍

This was such a sweet low angst opposites attract cowboy vs city boy Romance.

This was such a wholesome, light hearted listen.

The writing style was engaging and enjoyable.
The characters were likeable, engaging and compelling.

Tristan James performed a flawless audio delivery and narration.

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!

Good story. Good narration.

This was a nice romance with a few steamy scenes and a moderate amount of angst in the romance. Being introduced to Shea and the Forget Me Not ranch changes Jakes perspective on life, and the majority of the story focuses on Jake's attempts to build a connection with Shea.

The narration was performed well, and the story had a resolution with a dash of reality.

Just ok. Sweet

I must say I had to run this on 1.2 speed. It was a sweet story just too boring. It went on and on with not much happening. The romance was quick and no partner is that perfect. The narrator Tristan James is good with an older man but when it’s two younger men it’s not good. He sounds like a 60+ older man so you tend to forget these are younger men. Anyway the relationship was insta love and sweet.

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.

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.

Thank you Author for giving us Jake and Shea's story, and thank you Tristan James for giving them a voice.

I recommend.

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!

Dang It's beautiful!

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.

Beautiful dreams

Love comes on Forget-me-not ranch and just gets better and better, getting away from the cutthroat world of Newyork and loving his cowboy is perfect.

as good as the ebook

The story is always 4-5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, I’m over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Amazing story 💜

I don't even know where to start with this story. The narrator did such a good job with this and I was completely mesmerised listening to it. This story is so emotional and special and the story line flowed really well too. I didn't want to stop listening.

Awesome

I have a wonderful time listening this audiobook! Felice’s books are always a guaranteed of a great time and Forget me Not isn’t the exception, this is the story of Jake a city man working as a RH Director and a single father and Shea a real cowboy and a model too. I love Tristan James voice and he did an amazing job narrating this audiobook, He brings this characters to life and the story is more exciting. I really enjoyed listening the audio and can’t recommend it enough!

A wonderfully romantic, heartwarming story.

This book was incredibly romantic, sexy and so full of emotions. I absolutely adored Shea and Jake, and the absolute star of the book, sweet Princess and Rose of Texas, Stacey.
If you want to fall in love with an uptight and stressed out NYC executive and a hot Texan cowboy dreaming of the big city, this book is the answer. And Felice Stevens always emotions-filled writing makes it impossible not to be sucked into her stories.
Tristan James absolutely nailed it and Shea's sexy Texas twang was a thing of beauty.

Fantastic story

Felice had such a heartfelt way of writing stories and connecting you to her characters that you can’t help but fall in love with them. She always manages to leave you with that feeling of epic love at the end of each book. Tristan James Narration added that extra magic and this book was a complete joy to listen to.

Brilliant

Loved this book when I first read it , but Tristan James brought it to life. Giving Shea and Jake a voice was beautiful done . Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book.
