A second chance romance featuring lover torn apart by family tragedy and kept apart by a lie of omission. Jada and Maddox. What a pair. I'd not read this series of books so this was a standalone for me (and I don't think that was a problem although I am interested in everyone else's story!). Maddox's brother had real issues, which sadly led to Jada's brother being permanent disabled. They felt they needed to part and they did. Maddox didn't know it but Jada was pregnant and now, 13 years later when both are back in town, what to do? Maya is clearly there. Novak resolves some of the questions about Jada keeping Maya a secret from Maddox too easily but the plot slips along nicely and you'll be rooting for these two to resolve things. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. A good read for fans of HEAs.

I loved this new addition to the Silver Springs series! Jada and Maddox experienced a horrific event that tore them apart. Now 13 years later they are back in Silver Springs and realize they still care for each other. Jada's family is determined to keep them apart but their second chance at love is too strong. Great storyline and characterization. 5 stars!

This is the fifth book in the Silver Springs series. Another great read from Brenda Novak. I really enjoyed the characters and I really liked the second chance romance theme. Highly recommended author and series!

Back in Silver Springs a new set of characters are center stage. This time the tension is very evident from the first page. While I liked the main characters I had trouble buying into the plot. Forgiveness is at the heart of the story. The event that lead to needing forgiveness made it hard to believe that the past could ever be put behind in the way the story was told. I do believe in moving on just not in the way it is done in this story.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.

UNFORGETTABLE YOU by Brenda Novak is an wonderful story of second chances! No one tells a story like Brenda Novak, she's an amazing storyteller! I loved the little mention of 'Hanover House' in the story too! I can't wait for the next book in this series. This is a five 🌟 read, for sure!

Another book in the Silver Springs series and another great read from Brenda Novak. This book can be read as a stand alone, but reading the previous books will help you know some of the other characters mentioned.
This is Jada and Maddox's story. 13 years before, a horrible tragedy happens that tears these two young lovers apart. Now they are both back in Sliver Springs and the chemistry is still there, though their past keeps them apart. Also Jada has kept a secret for 13 years that her daughter is also Maddox's daughter.
This book really pulls at your heart strings and builds your frustration. Jada is stuck trying to remain loyal to her family while her heart pulls her to Maddox. And for Maddox, he would never ask Jada to pick him over her family. It's a great story of not only love, but overcoming our past and finding forgiveness to set us free. It's a great story with relatable characters and a great heart. Another enjoyable read!

I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this book to return to Silver Springs. I absolutely loved the characters in this book. I kept rooting for Maddox and Jada. 2nd chance love and for all to be revealed. I hated to see the book end.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It isn't a 'light' romance novel, however, it is worth the read!! I hadn't realized it was the 5th book in the Silver Springs series, however, it was not a problem reading it as a stand alone. I enjoyed it so much that I plan to go back and read the first 4 books! The main female character in this book is Jada. After a divorce Jada and her daughter, Maya, move back home to help her mother and brother out. This story is about how Jada deals with the past, present, and future. It is a story of love lost and found. It also deals with forgiveness and healing from past mistakes. The author does a great job drawing you into the story and making it so you are able to experience the emotions of all of the characters involved in the story. The story was well written and drew me in from the first page. I look forward to reading the next story in this series (about one of the characters from this book). Overall, I highly recommend this book and I was very happy with the outcome of the story...even though it took awhile to get where I was hoping it would.

Thank you to Harlequin-MIRA and Netgalley for this eARC.

This book was just ok for me. I liked the premise of the plot but I felt like the storyline with maya went on way longer than it needed too. Overall I would give it 3 stars.

Received pre-published copy on Netgalley for honest review.

I love Brenda Novak, and I always forget that I do until I read one of her books again. I love the setting of this book, the characters and the overall suspense. It was not a true romantic suspense novel, but defiantly not just a light hearted read either.

Overall I really enjoyed it.

This is the 5th book in the Silver Springs series. Jada and Maddox were sweethearts in high school. A tragic incident occurs and Jada's brother is now in a wheelchair. The families are torn apart but so are Jada and Maddox. Jada returns to Silver Springs thirteen years later to help her mother and brother. Maddox returns to Silver Springs to take a job at New Horizons. Jada has hidden a huge secret all these years. Is there a chance they can make a go of their relationship? I loved the characters and the story. Thanks to NetGalley, Harlequin-Mira and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.

“Unforgettable You” by Brenda Novak

An enjoyable novel of love lost and found. Thirteen years ago, Jada and Maddox found a love so few would ever experience. One fateful night, that love is abruptly torn apart. That night also changes the lives of three boys and two families.

Roll forward thirteen years. Jada has come home to help her mother and brother. Maddox has returned home for a job opportunity. Neither knows that the other has returned. But once they do, the past comes roaring back to the present. Old wounds are opened and need to be healed, long time secrets will eventually be told, amends made, forgiveness sought and given little by little from most, and lost loves are found...but are they able to be rekindled or is there too much damage from the past to work through?

Rating: 4.5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

** I chose to read and review an advanced copy of this novel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It's the second installment I read in this series and I loved this one as much as the previous one.
I was hooked since the first pages and it was a roller coaster of emotions.
Ms Novak can surely write a book that you can't put down and write memorable characters.
I loved the plot, the characters and the lovely setting.
I look forward to reading the next installment in this series.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to HARLEQUIN - MIRA and Netgalley for this ARC

I love Silver Springs. Each book is like a family reunion and a homecoming !
This is Jada and Maddox’s story.
They had to walk away from each other and their love because of a tragic night that changed not only their lives and their future, but the lives of their brothers.
Maddox’s brother Tobias shoots Jada’s brother Atticus leaving him wheelchair bound.
There is so much guilt, hurt, sorrow and brokenness between the families that Jada walks away from Maddox ( even though she’s pregnant)
13 years later , they separately return to Silver Springs !
Is there enough love to help them all forgive and heal !
Such a great story and a return to my favorite place !
Now, I must pack my bags and move to Silver Springs as I await Tobias story !

Wow!!! Another fantastic installment in Brenda Novak’s Silver Springs series! I always enjoy second chance romances and I love the fresh and original spin Brenda Novak put on this beloved sub-genre in Unforgettably You. The storyline was packed with depth and my heart went out to the main (and supporting) characters from the very first chapter. The pacing was perfect, I literally spent an entire Saturday reading this novel because I just couldn’t stop! Unforgettable You is the 5th novel in this series, but can also be read as a standalone and I highly encourage everyone start asap! As per usual, Brenda Novak always comes through with a solid 5 star read and as per usual, I am looking forward to reading the next book in this addictive series!!

One fine story of second chances and new beginnings. I love the Silver Springs series and it is recommended you read them in order to gain further appreciation of the characters and scenarios. I am a big fan of allowing individuals opportunities to grow and be given new opportunities at life. The writing and scenarios in this book allow one to experience the emotions of all the characters involved. You settle into a story that at times seems drawn out but eventually comes together. Happiness does exist by takes different paths to get there.

A 5 star read from Brenda. I love the characters and the story line. If you haven’t read Brenda’s books I really suggest you do

I very much enjoyed this new book in the Silver Springs series. Plenty of secrets and angst fuel the plot line, involving not only the heroine and hero but also supporting characters. Jada and Maddox slowly re-connect, working through their many issues and leading to a well-earned happy ending. Although certainly several previous series characters appear, this can be read as a stand-alone novel. I am definitely looking forward to what comes next.
