The attraction is a problem because Gavin is Anna's brother, Wesley's bestfriend. Anna's family veiws Gavin as part of the family, that is, until Anna and Gavin act on their attraction. Will Anna be able to give Gavin up to bring the peace back to the family and save Gavin and Wesley's friendship? Will Gavin be able to let go of his past to prove to Anna's family that his intentions are honerable? And what will become of Kyle, Gavin's younger brother, who he just found out about, because their father just left the boy at Gavin's house and disappeared. The story was great. I'm sure you all will enjoy reading it as much as I did.

Summary: Definetely Unforgettable
Review: I absolutely loved this book. The characters are developed, real, and without superficial hangups that can really be a turn off. The elements of family and love are what bring this book alive and keep you reading for more. Anna and Gavin's relationship starts out slowly with their friendship evolving as they can't fight their attraction to one another. The relationship leads to a few complications on the way and the two must decide if their love is strong enough despite what everyone else thinks and says. The love scences are steamy hot yet they are not tacky or tasteless. This is a story of staying true to yourself and fighting for the love you want. You'll want to read this book again once you're done because Anna and Gavin will have you hooked.
This is a must read- Ms.Ford has done excellent work.

Summary: It was worth it! taking the risk..
Review: I am a new fan of Bette Ford's, and will be purchasing all of her books! She is a truly gifted writer, and educates as well as entertains her readers.

The story of Anna and Gavin was great. Readers can really feel what these characters experience. Their family relationships were truly tested when they fell in love, and I am glad they took a chance on one another.

I won't spoil the plot for new readers, I'll just say this is a must read!

Summary: Unforgettable!!!
Review: I am more impressed by each one of Bette Ford's books.

Excellent! She is truly a gifted and skilled writer/storyteller. *This* is what romance fiction novels should be about. She is and has been my #1 favorite romance fiction author for a while. Some of the other romance fiction authors should take a few lessons. Truly.

Unforgettable is her newest and best novel to date. I waited forever for this book to be published. It has now become part of my romance fiction collection. I have all of her books. Buy it, rent it, borrow it and you will not be disappointed. I sometimes think that Ms. Ford does not get the same exposure as the Francis Ray/Brenda Jackson/Rochelle Alers group, but Bette Ford's work is FAR superior on EVERY level and I have been reading this genre for over 10 years.

Where Ms. Ford is an excellent storyteller, I am not, but here it goes:
"Unforgettable" is the story of Gavin and Anna. Bette Ford follows a similar storyline as in "After Dark" (ANOTHER EXCELLENT NOVEL) where a seemingly 'regular' woman falls for a superstar professional athlete. Ms. Ford is a gifted enough writer to lend each story a unique and believable storyline even though each of the two is based on a similar theme.

From onset, you would think having the male protagonist be a professional athlete would not work, "that's not my thing," but I promise you it works. Ms. Ford added just enough dimensions to the Gavin character and his family to give him true depth (for a fiction romance). Anna is believable and has depth as well. Their families are believable and necessary backdrops to the stories in that they provide believable forces and influences for the characters to interact with during the story. Excellent storyline, dialogue, anticipation, hot love scenes, overprotective siblings and add in a little family drama and ambiguity and you have a great Sunday afternoon read. I read quite a lot and I read this in one sitting.

No cheesy underdeveloped, psuedo-action/suspense/mysteries here. Just storytelling at its best. She DOES not disappoint.

Summary: interesting relationship drama
Review: In Detroit, partners Anna Prescott and Janet Raye Matthews run Prescott-Raye Catering that provides wholesome meals to bachelor members of the Detroit Lions football team. Among the clients is superstar receiver Gavin Mathis, who actually was the impetus for starting the program. Gavin asks Anna to help him with his teenage half-brother Kyle, whom his father just dumped on him. Neither Kyle nor Gavin knew of one another until addicted gambler George Reynolds left the kid with his older sibling. Anna agrees to help Gavin with Kyle.

As Kyle adapts to being wanted by his brother and Anna and her family, Gavin and Anna, though long time friends, fall in love. However, Gavin must first deal with George, who tries to "sell" him Kyle before he can declare his forever love to Anna.

UNFORGETTABLE is an interesting relationship drama that plays out on several levels besides the obvious romance between the lead couple. George is a poor man's version of the wastrel younger brother in the movie Parenthood. Any dealings with him are negative because he is so possessed by gambling he cannot see anyone else's needs. The Lions and their spouses and Anna's immediate family and her partner provide security and warmth that also enables the audience to see deep inside the two stars. Still, it is the nurturing Anna and the All-Pro Gavin who score the winning touchdown for contemporary romance readers.

Summary: Very delightful.
Review: This book held my attention from the first page until the end. There were plenty of twists and turns and even some family lessons to be learned. I loved it because the focus was not only in one department but balanced to keep the spark alive. I am definitely looking forward to reading more from Ms Ford.

Pick up the book, you won't be disappointed. :)

Summary: It was worth it! taking the risk..
Review: This book is HOT!!! I love reading a Bette Ford book. Bette is a great romance writer who presents strong, caring, successful African American men and women of integrity. Since becoming a die-hard AA romance book fan there are several authors I count on to deliver not only the spice and the flavor but also serve up a positive message. Although love may be color blind, society isn't and oftentimes true romance between an African American couple are seldom portrayed realistically in any form of media.

Gavin Mathis is indicative of Ms. Ford's characters. He exudes athletic prowess and that added with his good looks provides him with plenty of play on and off the field. Gavin in not interested in being a player-playa, he's a man of well grounded moral convictions despite his worthless fathers disappearance and reappearance (when the money begins to flow). Gavin wants a woman that wants him for the man he is and not merely the lifestyle he can afford them.

Anna Prescott is a beautiful, confident woman who shares partnership in a successful catering business. Anna has grown up the only girl in a family of over protective men which includes Gavin who is best friend and teammate of her older brother Wesley. I enjoyed Anna's character because she was not weak or afraid to take charge of her life, she also was not hoping for that one man to come along to define her.

Both Anna and Gavin risk the stability and bond of family and friendship to explore emotions they try to deny but yet won't remain dormat. Anna's strength and Gavin's unwavering committment not to allow what they've discovered in each other to be minimized by others is what helps to make this such a wonderful romance.

I've found Bette's secondary characters are as strong as the primary without removing the spotlight. Many have been featured in their own story and it's always good when they make an appearance. I look forward to a story for Scott (After Dark) he needs closure. I hope there is a story in Kyle and Wayne's future too.

I've found Bette's books to have few secondary characters. Her characters tend to carry a strong presence and some have been featured in their own story. I look forward to Scott from After Dark's story soon. I also hope there will be a story on Kyle and Wayne in the near future.

Summary: I can't stopping thinking about it!
Review: This book was absoluty unforgettable. I can barely focus at work because I can't stop thinking about this book. It was touching to the point where I hope a man could love me the way Gavin loved Anna. The feelings between Gavin and Anna were so strong that they had to pinch themselves to make sure it was real.....and it was. I know how Anna felt having overprotective brothers and cousins because I am in the same position. I liked how Anna stood up for what she belived in and that her family could no longer put a strain on her love life.

Rating: 5 stars
