All He Wanted was Justice. All She Wanted was His Heart. Georgina Whitmore, not accustomed to any man being unaffected by her charms, is plagued with the disappearance and rejection of Simon Fancourt. Twelve years later, Mr. Fancourt returns to British society with two children and a mad hunger for justice. Racing against time, Simon works to uncover the men responsible for his wife's horrific murder, protect his children, and fulfill his father's unexpected will by marrying Georgina--the last thing in the world he wants to do. Though her heart throbs to accept, she would rather lose him again than have his name without his love. She denies his proposal of matrimony, knowing it will cost them both. But as tragedies unravel and secret enemies narrow their sights on Simon, Georgina risks her life--and her reputation--to protect him and the children. Will the danger scorch them alive? Or will it, for the first time, open his heart to her?

This book was hard to put down as it had me engrossed from beginning to end. This author brings such a refreshing voice to Regency Romance with a gothic feel that digs deep to bring light and hope into the dark and dismal hurts from the evil in the world. I love the characters and how they learn to let the hurts and traumas of the past rest and move forward into the path God has chosen for each. Lots of suspense and figuring out who is behind the evil deeds and for what purposes. I must say it kept me on my toes trying to put the pieces together and figure it out. I could picture the scenes in my mind as I read thanks to the descriptive writing. One of the top notch books I have read this year. Now I will wait patiently for the next book. I highly recommend.

Never Forgotten is a story I will never forget!!!!
Published by Chumlyswife , 1 year ago
One morning I found myself awake at 5:30am, and couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to start reading Never Forgotten, and I literally finished it by 11am that same morning because I couldn't put it down! What a great, exciting, frustrating at times for the characters (not with the story), and so filled with Christ's love and grace that shown like a warm fire thru life's hardest tragedies all throughout this story! My opinion is this is such a great story, with great characters, that grabbed me from the first chapter, and kept me reading till the end! I instantly connected with the storyline, and was blown away by the climax, and was totally stunned by it because it was so unpredictable!! Oh I really loved it, and highly recommended that you read it , and give it 5 stars!
Miss Georgiana Whitmore has given up hope of ever finding love, because the one person she has always loved, and who she found herself engaged to, Simon Fancourt, decided he no longer wanted to be engaged, or tied to the life of an English aristocrat, so he rejects Georgiana, and heads off to America to escape all his father's plans to tie him to the estate and the English way of life. Georgiana stays behind, and tries to pick up the pieces of her life, but she is sure spinster hood is her only choice.
Twelve years later, Simon finds himself in a desperate situation in America, which leads him back to England's shore, and back to the home he tried so hard to run away from. Georgiana can't believe her eyes when she sees Simon getting off a boat, and he is not alone!! How can he, the one who rejected her, be back, and what does this mean for her? And Simon, how will he be able to go home again after so long a time has passed??? Oh you must read the story to find out!!! I loved it, and just can't say that enough!
