Shattered Memories #1
Unforgettable
Most people run away from home to escape a life they hate.
Not Ashley.
She ran from a life she loved, and left the men she loved behind with it.
Ashley had thought the past was behind her, long forgotten -- and her along with it.
When the rescue of her best friend is her priority, she never expected to run headfirst into the men she'd left behind what felt like a lifetime ago.
None of them are who they used to be, their pasts forging them into something different.
Can they move beyond their pasts, even with secrets lingering in the shadows and prove that even after so long, their bond is unbreakable?

Look if Maree writes it I am going to read it. I absolutely LOVE The Shattered Safety duet and am so happy to be back in this world.
I have been impatiently waiting for Ashley and the black wolves story. I absolutely loved the sneak peek of their characters in the shattered safety duet. I am so excited to finally get their story. I have been so intrigued by their backstory since the shattered safety duet. And this story did not disappoint. Ashley ran away from her foster brothers. The boys were heartbroken when she disappeared now 12 years later, they’re back together to rescue Lexi Ashley‘s best friend and her brother‘s girl. Beck, Nix and Rick are now faced to face with Ashley again, and have to confront their feelings surrounding her disappearance 12 years ago. Plus now Kacey Lexi’s ex and the US Marshal is thrown into the mix with Ashley and her guys and I love the absolute CHAOS that ensues.
Secrets will be revealed feelings will resurface, and Maree leave us on a cliffy again 🤣

A young girl and three young boys grew up together in a foster home. When she graduated from high school she left without a word and it is killing me to know why she left. The three young boys grew up to be strong capable bad ass men. Throw in a US Marshall and the story gets more interesting. Our girl has secrets and isn’t as helpless as she seems. There is MMM in this book and those scenes are super hot. (Fanning face). Could not stop reading this book full of secrets until last page.

I seriously loved the Shattered Saftey books and this spin off did not disappoint! This was book was such a great read. Loved reading about Ash and her boys 🥰 I also loved how Kacey has more dialogue in this book 😁 Also loved the crossover moments from the Unbreakable/Untouchable gang! 🤩 I need the next book right now! 😍

Ma’am listen I cannot explain what Maree put in her books buy they are addictive. MY GOD!!! This one ok, i mean woahhh… and then that ending 😳😡😱🙄. There is no explanation for you to leave us this way.

And let’s not forget about our new addition either, Mr. Detective 🫨🫣! There is a very H O T chapter in this book, please keep in mind you might need an undy change or baby charge your friend cuz 🥵🥵🥵.

If you know me, you know I am a Maree girlie, my queen of plot twists and leaving me hanging!
I will forever say you should go into her books blind as a bat for the best experience. I adore being back in the Shatter Safety world. I missed it sooo much, and I loved seeing Hunt and Rome!!!
One of my favorite things about diving into a Maree's book is that it is addictive, and I never want it to end. I want endless pages or at least an extra 100 or 2. I picture a fountain in my mind, but any who, Maree has a gift of capturing you until the very last word. Every time I finish a book, I always want to go back and read it again because I can't get enough.
Did I mention she also writes these characters that you not only connect with, but you also just fall head over heels for!!
Obsesssed!!!!!!!

In Chapter 4 of Unbreakable in the Shattered Safety Duet, we are introduced to Lexi's best friend, Colt's sister, Ashley. This is the story of her and the Black Wolves (Phoenix, Beckett, and Maverick), all introduced in that chapter.
As introduced in the other duet, Ashley comes into the storyline when she comes looking for her best friend Lexi and finds her brother Colt not only has been hired to look after her safety but has fallen in love with her. She helps find and get her back from her ex Dominick, but she isn't the only one that has been asked to help find her, their foster brothers Nix, Beck, and Rick all come to help as well. Ash hasn't seen them in 12 years, but hasn't stopped thinking about them once. Now, bring Kacey into the story a US Marshal, with strong attraction to not only Ashley but also Beck and Rick and you have explosive sexual tension and a wonderful game of truth or dare!
I'm so tangled up from this book that I'm not exactly sure which way is which. The writing is amazing. The storyline is intriguing and exciting, and it keeps you guessing until the very end, then leaves you hanging out to dry.... YES! It leaves off with a huge cliffhanger and a book #2 still to come.
I have so many unanswered questions, Why did she leave the day of graduation? What is in all the letters she was getting? What did they say? What is the meaning of the name used? What happened to all the guys when she left? Like OMG, Maree, give me MORE.
Even with all the unanswered questions, the back and forth in time, multiple pov's, like 4 or 5 smut scenes, tons of sexual tension, tons of avoidance behavior, a steamy mmm scene, and dangling from a very large cliff or a ravine with no bottom in sight I am still leaving a 4 star review because I can't wait to read more and hope to climb back up the cliff edge and the ravine gets filled in with the next book. Answer all the unanswered questions before the end, and it will be a solid 5 star

We met the main characters of this book in the previous duet of the series, and while the taboo nature of the relationship was hinted at—foster siblings, criminals with a law officer—and a why-choose scenario, it didn't delve too deeply. In a way, Unforgettable continued that tease as we learned more about the characters and their histories, as Ash, Beck, Nix, and Rick were all foster siblings who started a relationship as teens but didn't fully establish it before Ash ran away. There was a mix of flashbacks and present-day scenes, but it didn't feel like the characters really established any real reconnection in the present-day moments apart from the male-to-male relations, but it did help to show the tension and longing that was there between all the characters. I loved the male-on-male moments, especially the scene between Rick, Beck, and Kacey as they welcomed Kacey into their dynamic and explored things with him, knowing he was also interested in Ash and their chance to keep her.
While it's not explicitly mentioned why Ash left, there is mention of her receiving letters, and it is hinted that the boys were under threat because of them, and that is why Ash ran, but there's a serious lack of communication between them all, and just as we feel like we are getting some answers about what has happened and what they have been doing in the years that they have been apart, Maree throws in the cliffhanger.
I'm excited to see what happens next and who has been keeping them apart for so long. I feel like we know but will have to wait and see if I'm correct or not. There's an element of thriller/mystery to the book, among the romance side of things. So much drama!

horrible, should have dnf'd.
200 some pages doesn't sound crazy short right? it's pretty typical, maybe slightly short. but you'd think it was barely 100 pages given how little actually happens or is made known. the author spent so much time jumping back and forth in time and trying to create this air of mystery that its more roll-your-eyes-annoying than it is enticing. characters go from literal zero to a hundred in terms of their relationships. including one involving mm, where one of the men has never even considered being into men before but all of a sudden, he lets a man rub him out no question. and then they're fucking.
also why does every author think its cool for their characters to have zero self awareness and literally live in a constant state of denial about their own feelings? its always "blah blah, this or that feeling that im not ready to analyze yet," or "i just felt that thing but we're gonna chalk it up to something else because I have no emotional maturity." and this book does it within the first 40 pages, twice in the span of 10 pages.
and what's up with the author making a point that none of them slept together until she was 18? but apparently they all had feelings for each other that were unspoken and she somehow had no clue, yet all of the guys decided they would kiss her on the same day... and they waited until the DAY she turned 18 because why?? she's not any different from the day before, they aren't that far apart in age so its not like its a big issue. but if its wrong the day before then its still wrong the next day. its a made up line. so which is it?

I received an ARC for an honest review
FIRST OF ALL WTF MAREE A CLIFFHANGER?!? AN HONEST TO BETSY IN THE START OF SOMETHING BAD CLIFFHANGER, THEN YOU SAY YOU GOTTA WAIT UNTIL 2025?!? THE ACTUAL F**K?!? I WILL GO TO YOUR HOUSE AND STEAL YOUR COMPUTER AND READ IT MYSELF (just kidding but don't tease me anymore 😅😅 love you)
This story follows Ashley, who was a foster child and she ends up falling in love with three of her foster brothers (it's not as bad as it sounds trust me). Kacey a US Marshal who might have gotten turned to the dark side. Phoenix, Beckett, and Maverick (love those names by the way) are the foster brothers and they're all looking for a girl named Lexi, who got kidnapped. Oh and her actual brothers who's there with a love interest (I can't spoil everything for you).
It's a why choose romance with MMM 🥵, FM x3.5 (female with three different males at different times), and it's steamy, with a lot of plot twists and poison, and did I mention a gosh darn cliffhanger?... but seriously if you put up all the characters and did the yarn string storyboard thing, you need a lot of string to connect everyone.
It was a little confusing for me in the beginning with all of the characters, I had to reread the first chapter two times to finally understand who's who. There were a few quotes that I'm not quite sure who wrote it, but overall no grammar or spelling mistakes.
This book is a pretty quick read and it was sooo good, besides the cliffhanger, if you're not a cliffhanger person you're gonna have to wait.

As always I cannot say enough good things about my favorite author Maree Rose! Book after book, I find them harder to put down every time! Maree’s writing is addicting and leaves you wanting more with every chapter! Her 2 latest releases Unforgettable and Unstoppable were titled perfectly! Ash’s story with her guys is exactly that, unforgettable and unstoppable! Having continued in the same world as her Shattered Safety duet, we follow Ashley, Phoenix, Maverick, Beckett and Kacey in their own Shattered Memories duet. After having not seen or spoken in 12 years, Ashley is reunited with Nix, Beck and Rick in the Shattered Safety duet. Unforgettable picks up from the scene they reunite in Unbreakable. The duet starts with chapters switching from past and present, we see how their love stories start, how threats come between them, and how fated love will triumph in the end! After being left on a cliffhanger at the end of Unforgettable, we pick up in Unstoppable with Ashley rescuing her guys with Kacey, her now 4th man in her reverse harem. To get to the truth, we see Ashley and her guys working together with her team to find get the answers they’ve been desperately needing. Who was threatening Ashley? Who was threatening the guys? The truth will shock you! I absolutely loved this duet! It was a great continuation from the Shattered Safety duet, with the main characters stories being told perfectly! Now I absolutely cannot wait for Elsa’s story!!!

The Shattered Memory Duet by Maree Rose is a dark why choose second romance. This duet includes Unforgettable and Unstoppable. Just like the other duet in the Shattered world, this was a spicy and smut filled story. I loved how it had tasteful spice but still had a great plotline. The plot in this duet was interesting and I could not put it down. I also love how Maree Rose writes her characters. They have such depth and watching all the relationships grow throughout the two books was amazing.
Ash was independent, intelligent, strong, and overall a absolute badass! I loved her character when she was introduced in the Shattered Safety duet. Phoenix, Maverick, Beckett and Kacey all had strong personalities. I loved how they all care for Ash and each other. This duet not only had FM spice but it also had MM spice. I thought all the relationships had good chemistry. The plot was also well written. I loved trying to figure out who was behind Ash leaving the men when they were younger. Overall this was a solid story and I enjoyed it. I recommend this duet.
PLEASE CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING
(Swipe for the blurbs of Unforgettable and Unstoppable)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
HAPPY READING

Maree has done it again! Once I picked it up it was impossible to put down until the very end. Anxiously awaiting the next book because this one ends on a cliffhanger and I need answers! This reverse harem novella was one that had an amazing plot, awesome spice and we can't forget the plot twists! Maree does an amazing job with the storyline, characters and their development and world building. I loved the FMC, Ash's, character, she was so sassy and adorable. I can't recommend this book enough and you have another winner on your hands Maree!

Most people run away from home to escape a life they hate. Not Ashley. She ran from a life she loved, and left the men she loved behind with it. Ashley had thought the past was behind her, long forgotten -- and her along with it.
When the rescue of her best friend is her priority, she never expected to run headfirst into the men she'd left behind what felt like a lifetime ago.
None of them are who they used to be, their pasts forging them into something different.
Can they move beyond their pasts, even with secrets lingering in the shadows and prove that even after so long, their bond is unbreakable?

This does end on cliffhanger, and I have so many damn questions. My heart is racing.
We have our FMC Ash who been running away from her foster brothers for 12 years, after receiving a letter. What’s was in the letter? WE DON’T KNOW AND IT’S KILLING ME. She has so many secrets and turns out she is a real badass, I’m here for it.
Now we have her foster brothers, the black wolves - Phoenix, Beckett, and Maverick. Because there isn’t enough men we bring in Kacey a US Marshal into the mix and we get a very delicious MMM scene.
I would say they love her, but I feel like love isn’t a strong enough word for what they feel for her. They don’t know why she just disappeared and it nearly ruined them.
I just have so many unanswered questions and will thinking about this book until I get no.2 UNSTOPPABLE.
This is multiple POV with flashbacks and a few dark themes and spice. Fast read and will leave you gagging for more.

Once again I picked it up and finished it mostly in one seating, which was great until I realized there was a cliffhanger lol. Now I am anxiously (not patiently, ) waiting for the next book. Maree is the Queen of why choose and plot twists. Ashley ran away from home (foster care and the men she fell in love with) to pursue a different path of in life. She had thought that she had put her past life behind her until she is face-to-face with the men who changed it forever when she is on a mission to save her best friend who was kidnapped. Now face-to-face with her past she finds that she was unforgettable and that they are not willing to let her walk out of their lives again. A plot twist comes to play, and Ashley must make a decision sooner than she expected.
I enjoyed the multiple perspectives within the writing and also the fact that Maree gives flashback perspectives, so that we better understand the entirety of the situation.
I received this as an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Wow l loved this book so much ❤ l was waiting to read Ashley's book, after reading about her friendship with Lexi,after reading untouchable and unbreakable l would recommend you read these books first as it sets up the relationship between Ashley, Lexi and Colt her brother. Ashley fmc is a brilliant character, and such a bad a**. I did feel so sorry for her she left to keep everyone she loved safe. She came back to her hometown after Lexi gets kidnapped. Ashley relationship with mmcs Nix, Rick, Carey and Beck.was strained as Ashley disappeared after her high school graduation she has been missing for 12 years. There was a lot of hurt and anger but they where still so drawn to each other. What was that cliffhanger NO !!@ Dont end it like that !!! please don't make us wait to long for next book please l beg you maree rose lol

I couldn't put this book down I read it in one sitting and wanted more!
Ash the FMC is a total baddie I loved her character from page 1
Ash has been through a lot and continues to hold secrets, even though some are revealed at the end of the book (** note it ends on a cliffhanger, but thankfully we don't have to wait long for the next book )
These 4 men ohmygosh why don't they make them in real life, I really couldn't choose.
Their backstories with Ash are perfect and it shows on page just how devoted to her and each other they are.
I really can't wait for the next book will secrets and lies all finally be revealed and will Ash and her men finally get the HEA they all deserve..
As always check your TW before reading but you won't be disappointed

Maree Rose is becoming one of my favorite why choose authors. This new series Shattered Memories is my new obsession. This book has everything that a dark reader like me loves. A kickass MFC, a deadly but sexy biker gang, deadly assassin, second chance romance, why choose, new romance, and just for fun, let's throw in an unknown stalker.
I got pulled into the story and want more. The scenes between Ash, Nix, Beck, Rick, and Kacey were 🔥🥵🔥. I will say this, I wish I could be Nix's Mon Ange (my angel), Beck's little brat, and Rick's good girl.
I think I might know who the mystery stalker is, but I could be wrong. I will just have to wait for the second book to find out who is threatening Ash's men. Oh, I forgot to say that this book does leave you on a cliffhanger, but it's a good one.

This book followed Ashley, a girl who 12 years ago supposedly ran away from the guys she loved, but now back to help find her bestfriend, Lexi, she's ran into them and another man...
Well this book didn't lack in the smut department, that's for sure. However, when it came to the book as a whole, it was very rapid and that's not really my typical read. To be completely honest too, there did not feel too much of a divide between the main male characters and it felt as though I didn't know any of them at all. I did like Ash though, she was definitely a strong fmc.
I received an arc edition and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

Maree freaking Rose, I can't even right now. Like I always know to expect something cruel and dangerous with you, but really ma'am?! Ugh. How do you do this to me? 🙄🤣
It was so nice being back in the Shattered Safety world again, I have missed these characters so much!
Butttttt now you put me in a position where I'm still asking a million and one questions, and my head and heart can't exactly handle that. Like, come on, lady, I need answers for Ash! 👀 what's a girl gotta do to get those? How do I get inside that noggin of yours? Lol!
I cannot wait for the next book and get that closure my heart is aching for!

Rating: 4 Stars
Spicy: 4 Chilly Peppers
Tropes: Reverse Harem, Why Choose
Trigger warnings: explicit language, explicit sex scenes, MM, MMM, MM relationships within the harem, 18+, past trauma, graphic torture, murder
You do NOT need to read the first duet in order to read this one. It can be easily followed without reading the first duet. Forewarning it will leave you on a cliffhanger!!!! I can not wait for the second book to come out cause I have so many unanswered questions!
This book was an easy read. One of the first books that I have read in one sitting. I was on the edge of my seat at all times. I love Maree's writing style because its a almost a mystery with spice. I feel like I am in an intense drama movie. The spice was just right. Never read a MM or MMM novel yet and I was not mad about it. It was super interesting and well written. I love how we have flashbacks and multiple POVs as well. But the plot twist got me though! I have so many unanswered questions and I cannot wait to read about them relatively soon! Maree has not disappointed me yet! Cannot wait to see what is next!

💛 ARC review of Unforgettable by maree rose 💛
This book centres on Ash, an ex military girl, who has had a tough start in life at a foster home where she meets the boys she falls in love with! After graduation she disappears for 12 years without a trace, but destiny brings them back together! There are lots of twists, turns and spicy moments in this book and it’s absolutely brilliant!
Tropes:
💛 MMMFM
💛 foster siblings
💛 assassin
💛 bi awakening
💛 morally grey
💛 mercenaries
💛 second chance romance
I loved the flashbacks and the multiple POVs as it gained a great insight into the dynamics of the characters! The plot was fast paced and full of twists and turns that keep you enthralled until the last page! That cliffhanger though!! 😦😦😦
I never thought I’d be into the whole MM spicy scenes but daaaamn I am here for it in this book! It had me hot under the collar between Rick, Casey and Beck! Wow 🥵🥵
Overall rating: 4/5 🌟
Spicy: 3/5 🌶️

I read this book so fast. A bit of a friends to enemies back to lovers (eventually?) not once did I predict where this boom was going or what was happening next. Ash is a badass but has basically been a ghost for the last 12 years leaving behind her 3 childhood lovers. She only gets back in touch after looking for her best friend together. The guys are obviously confused and upset and want answers but ash will not give them up. Throw in the US marshes that there is an attraction with things get a bit messy.
I cant wait to read the next book because I need answers. It ends on a cliffhanger but it’s a slow burn plot wise and romance wise. That was the only thing I struggled a bit with the questions with no answers (yet) but I’m not a patient person in general. I do feel as if the next book will solve everything and we will get a bit more spice.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Not 100% how I feel about this one.
I liked that Ash and the boys got their own book but it kind of felt all over the place in some areas. The relationships between the boys.. and then Kacey.. idk, I wish their relationships developed more in the second book instead of just coming at us full force.
I am however hoping that the second book will make sense of the craziness of book one… the “villain” has been kept secret long enough 😅
Thank you Maree for yet another arc! I really enjoy getting to be one of the first to read about what goes on in that head of yours 😉 looking forward to the next!

This is book 1 of the Shattered Memories Duet.
This was Ash, Beck, Nix,Rick and Kasey's story. As you can see it's RH or Why choose. This also has MMM scenes.
Ash, Beck, Nix and Rick were all foster siblings. They became close and kind of had a teenage relationship then randomly Ashley disappeared.
We are now 12 years later and she is now a US Marshall and so is Kasey.
Ash is back to find her best friend Lexi. The boys are looking for her too and this is whwrebtheyball meet again..
There was certainly plenty of suspense, action, drama and twists, along with very Spicy scenes.
It ends in a cliff hanger and now I have so many more questions that need answering!!

After reading the Shattered Safety duet, I was dying to read about Ashley's story! I personally think reading Shattered Safety is a must because it's a Maree Rose book, duh! But also because of the crossover with Lexi's story. You can better situate where Ashley's story is at.
I'm never disappointed with Maree's books, I'm always hooked from the beginning and with Unforgettable it has not changed! You can feel the tension between the characters (all types, iykyk!). I love how the men have never forgotten about Ashley, how it's been her since day one.
And THAT cliffhanger! I need book #2 ASAP, please!!

This book had me ensnared and wouldn't let go. I needed to know why Ashley left her men behind. Like most everyone thats read this I left with a huge crush on Nix!! If I had known these characters were in the Shattered Safety duet I would have read that first. This just starts off right into the action so it felt I was missing some of the story. The MMM scene between Rick, Kasey and Beck are wonderfully entertaining and well written. The cliffhanger!!! 😳 I can't wait to read the second book in this duet and find out who's threatening Ash and how her men are going to get out of the bind they landed in.
I am leaving my honest review for a complimentary copy of this book via the author.

1st, this one ends in a cliffhanger!!!
3,5 ☆
Unsure what I just read. The story kept switching between the past and now.
We are never given the true reason she fled from her family, but by reading between the lines, she has a stalker that threatened the lives of her foster brothers/ boyfriends.
(a very patient stalker still following 12 years later, keeping her isolated)
I also was half expecting them to be shifters with all the growling that was being mentioned. But apparently, they are now wanted criminals known as the Black Wolves. (Is it normal for a grown man to growl? Even if he's a criminal)
Possible tags: MF, MMM, rescue mission, murder, poison,... cliffhanger

Wow! This book packs so much into it that it’s hard to know where to start. I loved the storyline, there was murder, mystery and romance all rolled up into one that meant I couldn’t put it down. I love Ash she is sassy, sexy & deadly but when she needs help it means she crosses paths with the men she was forced to leave behind years ago. The tension between everyone is fantastic and certainly explodes when they give into it. The story just kept me guessing about what was going to happen next and after that cliffhanger I can’t wait for the next book!
