Well, I'm on the fence as far as this story coming through for me. I was happy that it focused a bit more on the main couple.

There's a lot of just going with the flow with the hard to buy concept. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice concept but felt a bit too forced for my romantic heart.

Happily, there's not a lot of drama and it ends sweetly even if it's a bit emotional.

The Soul Never Forgets picks up where the first book in the series ends. Caroline has spent her life connecting with her past life. Now the visions are no longer there. Frank and Gussey found their ‘forever’ in Caroline’s visions, so she knows their destiny is complete.

While Caroline has been adjusting to her ‘new normal’ without the visions, she is also waiting for the day her soul mate will appear. When fate intervenes in Caroline’s life, she quickly discovers that pull of your soul mate cannot be ignored.

The Soul Never Forgets is not a traditional romance. This novel is a continuation from the first book in the series and cannot be read as a standalone. Georgia Cates has penned to paper a literary journey that delves into the very recesses of your soul. Is there really one true love for everyone in this world? Caroline, Frank, and Gussey all lend a hand in making readers believe in finding that one true love. Take the journey, open your heart and discover the possibilities of searching for that one perfect soul mate.

I received an arc for an honest review.

4.5 Stars. OMG. Guys, this duet 𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘺. 😭 If you love The Time Traveler's Wife and The Notebook, you 𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓 want to miss this duet. ⁣Even if you don't love those books or haven't read it, you should totally read this duet. You need to read The Soul Always Remembers before this one.

This is a soulmate kind of books. To be honest, I hardly ever read that trope. But when Georgia said she's writing one, I knew needed the books. I loved it so much more than I expected. It goes back and forth to the previous life and present life, but it was totally perfect for this duet.

It gave me such a heartwarming feel. I don't want to say more because I don't want to spoil the story, but just get ready for your heart to be filled with love.

✔️Soulmate Romance
✔️Time Travel (Sorta)
✔️Past Life Connection

OH MY... I'M GUSHING AND JUST SO Feeling OH SO MUCH OF LOVEEEEEEEE AFTER READING THIS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL SWOON FEST. 😻😻

I'm really Thankful to the author for writing this series and especially this second book as it was absolutely needed to have the perfect conclusion to Caroline and her 😉😉 love's sweet life.

This one is FULL ON SWEETNESS AND ROMANCE THAT'LL MAKE YOU FEEL SO FULL AND YEARN AND LUST FOR YOUR VERY OWN MATE.

If you've read book 1, which I feel is a freaking MUST READ if you're a Hopeful Romantic like me, then like me you've must have been waiting for Caroline to find her own happiness.

When I started this one, I was so nervous as I thought the one that was hinted would be the one. BUT OH MY.. I NEVER COULD HAVE TGIUGHT THE DESTINED ONE TO BE SO MAGICAL & THE BEAUTY OF TWO SOULS INTERTWINED THROUGH FATE COMING TOGETHER WILL HAVE YOUR HEART SING AND SMILE AND DANCE FOR SURE.

The way Caroline, through a series of turns when finally meets the one... THAT MOMENT WAS EVERYTHING. No worries this is not a spoiler as there's just so much happening but seriously I was cheering for my girl, Caroline.

And also when she finally meets him... My my.... WAS I SOO JEALOUS OF HER. AHHH... Ms. Cates has given us a man who you just wouldn't be resist falling for head over heels.

I don't want to give away anything but this ride was so worth the wait and I'm smiling and having tears of sweet love and joy and yet for them to always have what they do and more. Augutine or Caroline, you sure gave me a journey of a lifetime. Love love you Frank/Jude.
Loved freaking loved this one. 💋💋💋💋💋💋

THE SOUL NEVER FORGETS (THE BEACON SERIES BOOK TWO)

Release Date: 10/20/22
Kindle Unlimited: [X]YES [ ]NO
Stand-alone: [ ]YES [X]NO
Author: Georgia Cates
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spiciness rating: 🌶️
POV: Dual, first person
Main Characters: Caroline Beaumont (and her soulmate), Augustina Lebeau & Frank Harrison
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Tropes: reincarnation; fated love; soulmates; time-traveling

Review:

“I’m talking about my soul mate. The one who makes my world stop turning when we touch. The one whose soul shares silent conversations with mine. The one who makes an intense déjà vu pulsate in my veins when I look into his eyes. That’s what he’ll do to me when we meet.”

I’m going to be vague in this review because I don’t want to give spoilers. I’ll just describe the things I felt while reading it.

I had already fallen in love with the three main characters in book one and I’m so glad I could get more of them here. I was so excited for Caroline yo find her soulmate in this book that I had butterflies in my stomach when they were about to meet. These books were so romantic, I didn’t even miss the spicy scenes here. There were some, but they were brief and not overly described. However, believe me when I say that it was perfect for this book.

Augustina’s and Frank’s love is beautiful in every life they live and I’d read as many books as Georgia wants to write in this series. This thematic captivated me wholeheartedly.

The Soul Always Remembers is book #1 of The Beacon Series. It is romantic and unique. The past and the present intersect and intertwine. Georgia Cates flexed her writing skills, taking the readers on a beautiful journey. The New Orleans setting brings out the mystery and the charm. You must read The Soul Always Remembers first before reading its completion, The Soul Never Forgets.

I wasn't sure what to expect. Caroline has fulfilled her destiny as seen at the end of The Soul Always Remembers:

The love shared between soul mates never ends. It's always to be continues...

The story picks up as Caroline is back to her normal self. She no longer hears voices or sees images. And in a way that makes her sad. As she adjusts back to everyday life she finds that she misses her connection to Frank and Gussey. But fate has plans. After all, the "pull" of her soulmate is powerful and unmistakable.

The Soul Never Forgets. takes you on a beautiful journey of love, discovery and completion. A perfect read for an autumn day. It was sweet and emotional with some very sexy times. Romantic, charming and an amazing journey between soulmates.

I read this book as a follow up to the last book #1 in this series. In this book, Caroline is searching for her "Soul Mate".
The author over uses the terms "soul mate", "star crossed lovers" and the endearment "my love" too many times to count. I found this book to not only be so syrupy as to make me nauseous, but highly unrealistic. I had MANY issues with this book. First, why does Caroline at the age of 29 (In 2022) allow her mother to have input into her therapist appointments and speak with the doctors? Also, Caroline has been in therapy for 25 years, did none of those doctors give her the tools to deal with her mother? And, why are the therapists even allowing input from her mother? Secondly, she needs Jude to save her from her mother, when Caroline could have done it herself years before. Thirdly, Caroline sees Jude and he sees her and they are immediately a couple?! Further, he throws all of his training and experience to the wind and hops aboard the soul mate theory immediately. And, he also has visions of his former life! If you're looking for a too sweet series, this is for you!

This book has my whole heart! After being enthralled with the first installment in this series, I was so happy to see that Georgia brought this back and added to the story – and she did not disappoint! After changing history through her three-month coma, Caroline is back in action and determined to find her soulmate in this lifetime. But after months of searching and questioning, she’s concerned that she will never find them, until fate brings them together again. I found reading this installment so comical because once Caroline finds her Frank (Jude), she essentially throws everything onto him and is somewhat upset when he doesn’t instantly conform, but he too can’t fight the pull to her and his unexplained feelings. Reading this felt like an epic love story with a touch of magic, and I found myself devastated to read the end of Caroline’s story – I wanted it to go on forever! I was obsessed with this book and this duet of books and I can’t wait to see what Georgia will come out with next!

This is an honest review for an arc received.

Caroline Beaumont is searching for her soulmate. When the sins of the past have been rectified and with Frank and Augustine at peace, her time is now.

“Something deep within me recognized something deep within you. I saw my destiny. Because that’s what it feels like when you connect with your soul mate.”

5 beautiful stars! This book picks up right where book 1 ended. To say I was excited to read the ending of Caroline’s story is an understatement. But, the ending! It was so thought out and beautiful. Georgia Cates slayed this series. It is such a unique and heartfelt journey. You can’t help but fall in love with the characters (past and present). A must read for every true romantic.

“I’m supposed to be stronger than this, but the pull between us is too powerful for me to resist. I’m weak when it comes to you.”

The Soul Never Forgets is second installment in the Beacon Series and continues Caroline’s journey to find her soulmate. This series must be read in order to fully understand the story. Believe me this is a duet you want to read.

Caroline is trying to navigate her life after recovering from a coma, with no more visions of Frank & Augustina. Having set their wrongs right Caroline is eager to find and connect with her present day “Frank”.

Caroline and Wes {Dawsey} feel the connection instantly. Their souls tethered through out time. Their relationship blossoms rather quickly as Wes accepts the story of their past life.

I loved “reliving” Frank & Augustines story with them and watching them grow their own life.

Georgia Cates takes you on a journey through time peaking at the past while building a future. This story was like no other book that I have ever read. It was romantic, nostalgic and captivating. It was so easy to get lost in these characters and their story.

5 STAR READ!

WOW! This book was amazing. The whole idea behind the entire story was brilliant. After reading the first book, I could not wait to get my hands on book two.

Reading the love story of Augustina & Frank in book 1, then again in the next life as Caroline and Jude in book 2 was fantastic.

I honestly do not want to say much to give anything away. I will say this, if you love romance, if you are a romance novel enthusiast, if you believe in soul mates, if you feel that there are some connections that you can never fully explain, read this series. It is unbelievably good. You will not be disappointed.

I so wish there was another story in this series.

Can't wait for more from Georgia <3

The Soul Never Forgets by Georgia Cates

The Soul Never Forgets is the 2nd book in The Beacon Series. If you have not read The Soul Always Remembers then I would highly recommend. If you love a soulmates, time traveler story, this one is for you. I will say that Georgia once again has knocked it out of the park with this story. Very well written, had depth, and easy to follow. Although, the story follows Caroline and Jude in present day, their souls have been connected for centuries. They both experienced life as Augustine and Frank most recently, until they found each other souls again in present life. They loved hard no matter in what space and time they met! Can’t wait to read the next book in this series!

Beautiful

I love the idea of soul mates. I know it’s fanciful, but it’s a romance novel. If it can’t happen here, where can it happen? I enjoyed this series and how it was set up, introducing Frank and Augustina through flashback as Caroline tries to make sense of her life. I adored Dawsey’s character and Coco. If only everyone had a Coco. If you like a bit of mystical, meant to be lovers, you will love this series as I did. The second book was definitely worth the wait. The first book was good enough that I remembered everything without having to re-read in order to finish, which is not always the case. It’s definitely landed in my favorites group.

The Soul Never Forgets was an awesome book. The chemistry between Cara&Dawsey was electric. They were destined to connect with each other and
love each other. Once Cara found Dawsey and their romance began, their romance enabled her free herself with Dawsey’s help from the misery, self doubt and pain she’d been forced to endure since childhood.
Meeting Cara and falling in love with her helped Dawsey realize the true passion and love he was destined for. The Soul Never Forgets is a love story that transcends time. I’ll never forget Cara&Dawsey’s story. I received an ARC for an honest review.

The stunning conclusion of Caroline Beaumont's journey.

As Caroline is dealing with the realization she has spent the last 3 months in a coma being Augustina, her souls is searching for its forever. When she gets introduced to a new therapist, she knows he's her soul mate. They both recognize they are each other's soul mate. This story is so well written you get to see the lived of Gussy and Frank as well as Caroline and Dawsey.

This is book 2 in the Beacon Series and it starts right where book 1 ends. It cannot be read as a standalone. More importantly, this is the type of story you need to be open minded about finding love.
Frank and and Caroline’s story continues to evolve and develop.
Well paced, well written and well developed characters, theirs is a unique journey of self discovery discovering love and finding your soul mate.

Caroline has returned to modern times to live her life looking for her one true soulmate. Her soulmate's past is uncrossed and now she’s ready to find her person. Enter Wes/Dawsey their connection is undeniable. And she quickly tells him they are soulmates, better yet he feels it too. Dawsey and Caroline work hard to create their own modern time relationship as a soulmate is one for eternity. Cates wrote a unique series that makes me wonder why is my soulmate not here yet.

The most original and beautiful love story!

Frank Harrison and Caroline Beaumont are the main characters in this story. They are soul mates to their core. They relive their past lives after finding each other again. They have a wonderful life, no matter how many times they live. It’s an intriguing and steamy love story with so much love, it’s a bit overwhelming when you read it. I thoroughly enjoyed every word written.

I was disappointed in this book. I LOVED the first one and thought it was amazing. Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down. Unfortunately, the sequel couldn’t live up to my expectations. There really wasn’t any mystery to this book like there was in the first one. And it basically consisted of the characters talking about how perfect their soulmate is and how their relationship isn’t like past relationships due to them being soulmates

Beautiful in every way

There aren’t words adequate to describe how amazingly beautiful in every way The Soul Never Forgets is. It’s an all consuming and devouring experience that the Author does an incredible job of immersing the reader in. Every part of this series has been utterly fascinating and by far one of my favorite series of all times.

Amazing story of soul mates

Beautiful well written story of love Between soul mates. The way she wrote the sequence of events and the journey of finding their forever loves was amazing. I found it extremely difficult to put the book down. Georgia Cates is a talented author and I have enjoyed several of her books.

An interesting idea and story took a turn for me when Caroline was so insistent on the whole soul mate mantra….repeating it at nausea. Why not let the story be a love story more than a blind acceptance….a courtship of any kind would have been much appreciated as would Caroline shutting up about it. Anyway, the overall series went from potentially great to average/good.

Different

Book two was almost to sappy. Sweetness over load. It wasn't a bad read. It began a bit odd and was too unbelievable. There was no angst or many problems just perfection.
It would have been better if Cara & Dawson timeline was interrupted since she changed Gussy & Franks.

Perfect!!

I loved Caroline and Dawsey's story!! Her mother convinced everyone that Caroline was crazy from a young age. Caroline always heard voices and when she got older she realised it was her soul mate calling out to her. She needed to help him in the past so she could find him in the future.

I did enjoy reading this book but the soul mates thing didn't really speak to me like it usually does. For Carolind and Dawsey, it just seemed too easy. And sorry, wasn't a fan of the second epilogue.

It was a decent enough read but I've definitely read better by her.
