Abigail along with her friends Bee and Cleo are still trying to sort out the mess that happened all those years ago, at the family cabin. Jacob has been found by the police, he goes by James now. Abigail and James talk of old times and what had happened the night that everything changed their lives. Jacob left town the next day and Abigail's life was in turmoil, not knowing what happened because of the brain injury she got from the accident. They both were under water and because of that Abigail couldn't remember most of what had happened that night. The trial is finally over and Abigail has a garden party at the cabin with all her friends and family where Byron proposes to her in front of everyone where she happily accepts, after being together for over 2 years. They met when Abigail came to Newport Beach to stay at her inherited cabin and he had been looking after the cabin in her absence. A great series well worth the read!.

The Forgotten Summer, Book Six, concludes the suspenseful and midlife romance between Abby and Byron. The truth about Abby's father, the gun, and the night she was injured comes to light due to a surprising stranger. John, Byron's brother, helps to rescue her from danger along with Byron. This series has been a suspenseful and highly enjoyable one. I highly recommend this excellent and well written series by Sage Parker.

I loved how Sage Parker tied all the loose ends together in book six of this series. Abigail got to finally know what really happened when she and Jacob had their accident. I did not see the villains being who they were. That was truly surprising but made sense when all the details were unraveled.
The happily ever after from Abigail and Byron had me swooning! This was a winner. Every book was a puzzle that fit nicely in the end. Loved this series!

Sage Parker knows how to keep her reader in suspense! The final book in the Forgotten Summer gave readers the long-awaited answers to what happened and did it perfectly!
Abigal got all the answers to what happened that fateful day so many summers ago. Bree and Cleo stood by her to help make sense of it all.
Bryon is the perfect fit for Abigail and the marriage proposal was just what was needed!
Thank you Sage Parker for this great series.

This final book in this series does not disappoint! I was excited to read how everything played out and I was satisfied for the most part. There are a few things left out specifically and two major plot holes. Of course you will have to read to understand what I’m talking about. There are some twists that I never saw coming😳! All in all I was extremely satisfied with this series.

The Forgotten Summer, part 6, is the conclusion to the series, and we go out with a bang. I don't want to give away spoilers, but it all came together great with some fantastic twists! I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to see how it all came together. I loved it and was happy to see Abby and Byron get their HEA.

This is the final book in its series ad has been a interesting about the up and down of Abigial as she looked for answer to her past. Her friend and her been in the hunt for answer that someone has not wanted to find. Being a way from her twins has been hard but she has people around her to help her. What will happen in the end is not always the way it looks from the outside. Enjoy.

Finally we got all the answers to our many questions. It was an intricate web of lies and deceit and Abigail got the truth about Jacob’s disappearance. It was very well written and had me guessing right up until the very end. Sage Parker certainly knows how to write mysteries and I have enjoyed this ride very much. Loved the epilogue! Can’t wait to see what Ms Parker brings us next.

Fantastic book and series!

As always, Sage Parker has written a fantastic series and this final book in the series is excellent. I love the characters, the plot and how all the loose ends are tied together so that Abigail can move on with her life knowing what happened the night of the accident and beyond.

I read this book as part of an advanced reader team and am voluntarily reviewing it.

Great conclusion

Abby and her friends are finally putting the pieces together but they still need more. The trip , Abby and Byron make to New York brings even more answers and more questions. They now know what happened to Jacob and Bee. As they return to Newport Beach with the US Marshalls service, they hope to be able to field the rest of the answers. Can they find the answers and survive?

Under US Marshall protection when they find Bea. Shocking revelations revealed by dead people. False memories are proven true. Multiple cold cases are closed and justice served. Who ends up together with their own HEA?.

I did not expect this ending. Everything was leading up to this last book and I surely didn't expect anything that happened. I am glad Abby and Byron got their romance!.

[Roslyn Simonin Jenkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a complicated story. ( I think I have it right).
But, a fantastic ending.
Abigail finally has her memory back, thanks to a constant need to put all the pieces together.
Finally in an unbelievable ending it all comes together.

Loved it!!!

Talk about tying up loose ends, Sage Parker ties up all loose ends in The Forgotten Summer series book 6. If you enjoy cliff hangars that are brought to a satisfying conclusion, this one does it. Sage is masterful.

[Jeanne Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read a lot of books written by Sage Parker; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is the sixth book in the Newport Beach Series; the story continues from the previous book and needs to be read in order.

[Margie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, what an ending. It made the wait worthwhile. I challenge anyone to have predicted this ending. Sage Parker gave us mystery, humor, romance, twist, turns and more mystery. I’d give this series 6 stars if I could.

[Erika · Rating 5 out of 5]

All the answers come together and it is nothing you expect. Abigail gets the answers to what happen to her and Jacob. You will be intrigued with each book. This is the best series I have read yet.

WOW

I say this every time about this writer, she's got the mix so well, from romance to suspension. You never quite know what's going to happen. Always an amazing ending. A pleasure to read.

[Bobbi Bullock · Rating 5 out of 5]

Could have been one book

Having only 80 pages a book is kind of silly. It was a good story but would have been better to read one book than to have to stop and download a new book every 80-85 pages.

[Marcia Corcoran · Rating 5 out of 5]

Had me to the end.

Loved this series. Well written, very suspenseful, had no idea about the ending. And, I did not read the ending first, as us my habit ti r if there story is worth reading. I look forward to reading other books written by Sage Parker.

A Very Good Book 📖

This book 📖 had so many twists and turns. The mystery was a delight to keep up with. The characters were fun and very supportive with each other. The romance was very special. I enjoyed this book from start to finish.
