Before you start, you might want to take note that this book is actually a collection of 2 short stories. When I say short, I really mean short. This whole book took me just over 2 hours to read total.

Forget Her Not started out great! I absolutely loved the first few chapters and the concept of this one, but it fizzed out quickly. The issue for me was the absolute short length. This could have been a wonderful full length novel if the characters had all been fleshed out more, but it really fell apart when Spencer started rushing the pace. The characters that I loved in the first chapter went into absolute insta-love mode almost immediately, and then went even more downhill from there. My god, the DRAMA. I'm not sure I've ever read anything that was more up and down and angsty and then immediate resolution. Like I said, this could have been a great full length novel if the characters had been developed more! In full disclosure, I had read this one previously as a novella, but chose to re-read it to make sure I still felt the same (it was so short that wasn't a problem for me). 3 stars for this novella.

Forget Her Never though... I wish I could forget this one. Not to spoil for anyone, so I'll hide it, but the whole (view spoiler) really, really bothers me. So much so that I couldn't really even come close to enjoying this novella. Not to mention, again, that the entire thing went incredibly insta-love pretty much right away. 2 stars for this novella.

Changing my original review from 3 stars down to 2.5, and rounding down to 2 stars for the issues stated above.

**Many thanks to the publisher for providing me with a free copy in exchange for my honest review.**

Elle Spencer did it again. From the first page to the last page These reads were outstanding. I will always read what this writer has to offer and can not wait for more from her. You will not be disappointed with Elle Spencer you will be as I am right now excited for more from her.

This was a new author for me, and a slightly different format in that the book is actually two novellas. I sort of liked them both but loved neither.

The first story features Sam who is an art dealer and Mia who is a Dr researching cancer. The story starts the ‘morning after’ with Sam unable to remember much of the night before. Sam is also really unlikeable to start with and her attitude towards women (and the way she describes Mia in her mind) was gross. She’s also never been with a woman before and there’s a lot of stuff about her past relationships with men. But she feels an instant connection with Mia (that I didn’t really buy). Mia is a saint, who unfortunately is also the sister of Sam’s first boyfriend. This situation is also gross. Even after they get together there’s a lot of push and pull and weird family dramas. But the story is given a wrap up ending and epilogue, so you get to see how things turn out.

Second story features Abby and Kendall, and I loved their instant connection but not the fact that Kendall was married. Once Abby discovers this, there’s just a lot of mutual pining and this goes on for the majority of the story. This one could have used an epilogue, I felt like we deserved a bit more of their HEA after all the angst.

Unforgettable is a fitting title to these two unique novellas about the chaos that love can bring on unsuspecting hearts. The question that both couples face is whether or not the payout is worth it. Two unique experiences will walk you through getting your heart ripped out and make your head spin with the consequences of less than scrupulous actions. You will ride that rollercoaster of emotion as each couple works out their predicaments despite overwhelming odds. Neither situation is ideal and both are born from circumstances that might make you cringe with discomfort or distaste. Rarely has a book elicited such strong emotions from me and made me feel so exhausted by the story’s end. Those hard feels in vivicolor won’t diminish any time soon thereafter and what a marvelous ride it was.

This was my first Elle Spencer book but it definitely won't be the last. I generally enjoy novellas especially when I don't have a lot of uninterrupted reading time. The first story was my favorite - just when you think things will work it everything goes to hell. I know a lot of readers have issues with infidelity, but I'm not one of them and I liked the second story as well. Elle Spencer has a very natural writing style and the sex writing is hot. Kudos also for the cover. I'm not normally a fan of photos on covers but this one is gorgeous.

3 Stars. I did not realize this book was two different stories, and they both felt kinda quick.

The first story was about Samantha King, an art dealer who wakes up next to a woman and doesn't remember how she got there or who the woman was. Samantha had never slept with a woman before and wishes she knew how she got to the bedroom of Mia Rossi, the sister of her high school boyfriend. Samantha and Mia are both are traveling for work and have not seen each other in 20 years. Samantha feels something different for Mia and changes her flight to spend a night with Mia since she wants to explore her feelings. Things go downhill from there and they both try to fix it. This story was interesting, but I felt like they kinda said "I love you" way too fast and their feelings seems to develop instantly. I could feel their relationship evolve, it was very fast. They both jump into the relationship quickly, even tho Sam was 'straight' before sleeping with Mia. I felt the connection between the two characters, and it was a decent story, I enjoyed reading it. I always enjoy straight girl sleeps with a woman like that.

The second story was about Abby, who is drunk at a bar and gets hit on by a woman named Kendall. Kendall takes a very drunk Abby home who pukes in a garbage can. Then next day, Abby meets Kendall on her boat and Kendall romances her and they sleep together on the boat, as they both feel a connection to each other. Kendall has some drama in her life and is married and cheated on her wife with Abby. Abby does not want to be the other woman and decided to not talk to Kendall. This book was a lot of drama and I never felt the connection between Abby and Kendall. It was there but it seemed too quick considering they knew each other two days before they started to fall in love.

Both stories were good but not great. I really liked the other book by this author and was a little disappointed by the two stories. The first story, in my opinion, was better than the second, but both stories were okay. They both had a theme of unforgettable woman the other woman can't get out of their head. They both had the two woman sleeping together early on and wanting more but can't have more because of circumstances. I would recommend it if you enjoy short stories but I am not sure I would recommend it to my friends.

Forget Her Not

I read this earlier this year and this is what I wrote as a review then:

I'm surprised I liked this quite as much as I did. It's soul-matey, insta-lovey with tons of angst and dramatic miscommunication but it had me completely hooked and invested. Samantha King wakes up in some man's hotel room after a night of what she hopes was good sex to find that the legs she sees stepping out of the shower are a woman's.


Forget her Never

Abby Dunn is getting drunk in a bar alone when a gorgeous woman offers to drive her home. She refuses after intimating the woman is a prostitute. She does end up going on a date with Kendall Squires and as much as she enjoys it, Kendall is really closed about anything to do with herself.

I enjoyed this in spite of my misgivings about infidelity (I might not have chosen it if I had read the blurb). Abby is a likeable character who has learnt from past mistakes. I’m not sure I was entirely convinced by Kendall, even by the end, but as an optimist I needed to believe love will win. Good pace, good writing and easy to recommend.

I'm a definite fan of Elle Spencer after reaching this set. Of the two novels only Forget Her Never was new since I've read her first novella before. The subject want easy to tackle, after all infidelity never is no matter how you spin it. In this however, it was understandable, Kendall missed romancing her wife and have someone to shower her affections on. Abby on the other hand hasn't had anyone choose her, her last relationship being as the other woman. Are they a mess? Yes! Do they deserve each other? Probably.

Like I said, this was well done with a fairly difficult subject matter. I'd like a follow-up though into Isabelle's life and why she kept going back to Italy to pursue a dalliance if she wasn't into the divorce. I mean something had to give.

Elle Spencer has a true talent of writing and pulling you into a story. She knows how to make you like her characters and make her story line flow. I can not wait for her next book to come out, I would be one of the first in line.

Elle Spencer has quickly become one of my favorite authors! Her book Casting Lacey was an incredible read. The first novella in this book is Forget Her Not, which was released last year on its own. I love everything about it. Samantha is complex and her character development is written so well in such a short amount of time. Forget Her Never has an interesting plot with the one main being married. Normally I don’t enjoy “cheating” type books but with the way this was written, I couldn’t help but love it. The theme of this book is Unforgettable and I wholeheartedly agree that I won’t soon forget either of these two novellas!

I loved "Forget Her Not" and I was really excited about Unforgettable and the new addition, "Forget her Never"! I think that Elle Spencer is easily one of my favorite new authors especially after "Casting Lacey" and I certainly cannot wait for her new novel in May.

Having said that, after I finished the second part of Unforgettable I felt disappointed. I really love me a good old romance with a happy ending between the main characters but I surprisingly found myself rooting for Abby to find someone else instead of Kendall! Infidelity in general is a tough subject that needs to be addressed with sensibility. In this case I didn't feel that Abby and Kendall were meant to be and I certainly didn't feel all that chemistry that made their first night together so unforgettable. Kendall is 46 and her reasoning trying to justify her indiscretions is juvenile. Her and Abby have some serious baggage that was never addressed properly, it felt more like it was brushed under the rug.
I won't spoil the rest of the story because even though the characters are frustrating and somehow unlikable, Elle Spencer's writing is top notch as usual and I really hope to see more of her talent in the future.

In the first Novella In Forget Her Not.
Samantha King doesn't have time for no commitments, no connections she into one night stand with men until one morning she wakes up in bed with a woman name Mia Rossi and doesn't remember any of it. As she starts question her sexuality Mia won't let her go and it turns out Sam doesn't want her too even when she pushing her away and surprisingly Mia is connected to her past.

In the second Novella In Forget Her Never.
Abby Dunn starts her night in a bar where she getting drunk when a sexy stranger offer her night of fun at first she said no but when the sexy stranger help her home she decide throw caution to the wind and accept her offer.
When she found out the sexy stranger name Kendall Squries is married she tried to forget her but she learned that easier said than done.
As she tried to forget her Kendall realize her marriage wasn't what it use to be and she have to decide to divorce or leave Abby alone.

This was a good read even though it like I read these stories before but I'll recommend this book.
