Never Forgotten Love
Author: S.M. Stryker
About the book:
In this mature romance about lost loves, best friends and second chances author S.M. Stryker brings you the first installment of the Second Chances Series.
Beckett was smaller than most boys his age growing up. This caused him to have little to no self-esteem while faced with the physical abuse he endured at the hands of his mother.
His best friend Harlow, who’s not only beautiful, but tough as nails has been there for him since first grade.
Unforeseen circumstances separated them with promises of always keeping in touch. Reminders of a friendship left behind, possessions taken away only lead to a friendship that was once the center of Beckett’s world.
Ten years later, Beckett has the confidence and self-esteem to search for Harlow. The only problem is; she’s off the grid. Every day he thinks of her, every decision he’s made; has been with for her.
My Review: 4.0 stars
Never Forgotten Love is a story of second chances, the book is written in a Male POV, which makes the story even better.
A sweet love story about best friend who growing up with each other, always had each others back....then life separated them-but not forever. It took ten years, but Beckett and Harlow find their way back to each other and discover that there are second chances, and when you are given that second chance you take it. The fact that Beckett searched high and low to find Harlow, yet happened upon her in the most kismet way just clicked with their story.
This is a love story that is different from most other's, it has an amazing feel good feeling to it, in Harlow and Beckett finding each other again was the way it was always going to be for them. They needed time apart to experience the hard knocks of life and some tragedy in order to come back together to be stronger then before.
Excerpt:
Could you ever believe in second chances? Have you ever wanted something so bad that when it was gone you never forgot it? You longed for it, everything you do was in preparation to have it again, and this time you won't let it go. You would do anything to protect it.
I kissed Harlow on the cheek, wiped away the tears that were falling and I leaned in close to her ear inhaling her floral fragrance that was all Harlow one last time trying to imprint it in my mind, and then I whispered in her ear, "I love you."
I'm not running from something, I'm running to someone. God, Beckett, don't you see, you're my lifeline; I'm not running from you, I running to you."
"This was the place where I fell in love with you Harlow, and even though I had a lot of bad memories here, I had the best memories here too. Memories of when we would sit on the swings and talk about the future when times were innocent, what do you want now Harlow? What are your dreams for the future?"
"You have infiltrated me completely, you make me feel alive Harlow, and I love that feeling. I have had my heart walled off for so long, and you have melted it so I can feel again."
