Forget Me Not paints the picture of a charming antique store in Wolf Creek, Colorado, where love blossoms when two strangers learn the secret about a long-ago hurt and a love that never died.
Maddy is a small antique shop owner desperately trying to keep her aunt's legacy alive, but road construction in her small town is putting the summer rush in jeopardy. With rent well overdue, she's going to need a miracle to avoid eviction.
Enter Gabe Dawson, an attorney who just so happens to be the nephew of Maddy's strict landlord. While he might have been sent to Wolf Creek to make sure the store shuts down for good, a chance encounter with Maddy complicates those plans.
Will these two find love, or is history doomed to repeat itself?

This was a cute, quick little romance that had a lot of potential but ended up feeling a bit too short. Gabe is a total sweetheart just trying to make better choices in his life, and Maddy is doing her best to keep the antiques store she inherited from going under. I really liked the setting and overall storyline, and I enjoyed watching their friendship slowly grow as they both tried to do the right thing.
Unfortunately, because the book is so short, everything moves really fast. There wasn’t quite enough time to fully build the romance, so it felt a little rushed, and the ending kind of came out of nowhere especially since they don’t even technically date in the book. I liked the idea of the story and the cozy vibes, but I wish the characters and their relationship had been more developed. Still a sweet read, just one that could’ve used more depth.
I thought this was a cute little romance. Gabe was a hero with a heart of gold who was looking to make changes in his life while Maddy was trying to keep the antiques store she inherited afloat. It's very short and moves quickly, but I enjoyed watching the friendship grow between these two as Maddy tried to save the store and Gabe tried to do the right thing.
Short but oh so sweet! Though 'Forget Me Not' is word count challenged, Radcliffe still manages to create a satisfying build up to the romance. Right from the rather unfortunate meet-cute and through to the 'happily ever after' epilogue. I enjoyed these characters, the small town setting and especially the antique shop. And I really enjoyed the dual narration by Brandon Francis and Victoria Connolly. They captured these characters and their story perfectly, creating an exceptional listening experience.
Loved this sweet novella! Maddy is trying to save the beloved antiques shop she inherited. Gabe's uncle is the man who could take it all away. Gabe isn't like his uncle, though. This is a charming romance well worth the listen. Everything and everyone is introduced and fully fleshed out even though novella-length. There's a little bit of mystery here, too. Fun!
I thought this little short story was adorable! It was cheesy and predictable yes, but maybe because it's Christmas time and it gave off Hallmark Christmas movie vibes, I loved it. The only thing that I rolled my eyes at was the I love you's after just a few short days of knowing each other. Besides that- clean and no spice, which is my fave! The narration was well done.

This book is cute but way too short. There isn’t enough time to build the romance, so it felt rushed, and the ending came out of nowhere considering Maddy and Gabe don’t even technically date in the book. I loved the setting and the plot, but I wish the characters and story were fleshed out more.
I absolutely agree with others! This is a cute idea for a narrative, and I would’ve liked it to be even longer. Like flashbacks from Josephine’s life, and more build for Maddy and Gabe’s relationship. Otherwise, it was still a heartwarming little story with a funny meet-cute.
Short, cute novella. Overall really enjoyed the story and the characters. With it being so short it was of course missing some and everything resolved quickly. Would love to see this storyline drawn out more and build up of romance cause I did enjoy it.
