A good suspenseful story!!!!

I truly enjoyed this book. The story was told in such a suspenseful way that I just could not put it down. I finished it in 2 days. Will there be a sequel? I surely hope so because there are some characters who need to have their own story. Especially Uncle Willy, he was a riot!!!

Great sequel to Unforgettable! 5 star read!

The Beautiful Ones is the wonderfully written sequel to Unforgettable. Where Unforgettable ends, The Beautiful Ones begins. Ms. Byrd tells the story of Ophelia and Solomon. Ophelia announces to Solomon, a lifelong friend that she is engaged to Jonas Hinton her date for the wedding of Marcel and Diana. Solomon, who put off telling Ophelia how he really feels about her is in shock because all along he has had the idea that he and Ophelia would be together and now it seems that it is too late. Jonas is jealous of the relationship between Ophelia and Solomon because he realizes that Solomon loves Ophelia more than just a friend. Jonas tells Ophelia that he wants her to stop seeing Solomon. Through a series of flashbacks the reader experiences the blossoming of true love between Ophelia and Solomon. The twists thrown in will surprise you up to the very end. This book is a must read for any and all Adrianne Byrd fans. You will not want to put it down because it is just that good. This author never fails to satisfy the reader. BUY THE BOOK!

GREAT...YOU DID IT AGAIN!!

LOVE AND ROMANCE....that's all I can say. Excellent. This is the continuation of Ms. Byrd's novel UNFORGETTABLE. The main characters are Solomon and Ophelia, lifelong friends, that have an underlying/unrealized passion and love for each other. Ms. Byrd skillfully tells the story in verbal flashbacks. You can feel the agony and uncertainty of the characters. The surprise and unexpected ending was a treat, leaving the door open for a sequel. I am breathlessly waiting on the sequel that I know will have the unrequited love for one of the secondary characters salved with a true love of his own. Superb Job!

Patrice Einsel

This is a wonderful book, well worth waiting for. You write such perceptive and insightful stories. You actually feel like you know the characters in your bookm, that they are real people and you come away with the comfortable notion that you've just met with old and beloved friends. And you look forward to the time that you can get together again. Anxiously awaiting your next book. Patrice

Thank you Adrianne!!

In a sequel to Unforgettable we find Ophelia and Sol, both in love with each for quite sometime but NEVER telling because of the friendship. What I like most about this book, is Ophelia loved Sol, not only as the fine brother he was, but as her real friend. Adrianne made sure to see this was not just some fly by night friendship it was based on over 20 years. Also she takes you back from the time they were kids, to teenagers to finally adults. I don't want to give to much away but there is a twist at the end that I didn't even catch, I finished the book with big ole tears in my eyes, Adrianne made me feel what both of the characters were feeling. Not only from Sol side of view but Ophelia, and I guess friends make better lovers.
