Rating: Summary: If you can't stand the heat Review: UNFORGETTABLE is almost the classic ugly duckling to beautiful swan
story. The heroine does not turn into a beautiful swan, but she does
become quite a lovely duckling.
For years Anna Prescott, a full figured woman, has hidden behind
her catering business and her unflattering wardrobe. She has
always had a crush on Gavin, her brother's best friend, but has never
spoken about it because he is almost family. Also, Anna has met all
of Gavin's love interests and they are tall, thin, and a
little mentally distracted. Since she is the complete opposite
of his dates, she rules out a relationship and decides to do
something for herself. Gavin, a professional football player for
the Detroit Lions, is unaware of Anna's affection; he sees her
as the sister he never had.
About the time of Anna's transformation, Gavin seeks her help with
a family emergency. Although she was not trying to get Gavin's
attention, for the first time he sees her as a sexy woman, and this
creates problems for him. Gavin has to remind himself that she is part
of his extended family, and for a very personal reason, he is afraid
of a commitment. But Gavin is jealous of whomever has caused the
change in Anna. Feeling anxious about the reason for her change, but
afraid to ask who caused it, has Gavin tied in knots. Will he throw
consequences to the wind and listen to his heart?
Ms. Ford aptly uses her gift of sharing human stories, with sports
figures as the catalyst, to entertain readers. As she did with
my personal favorite AFTER DARK, she has written a tender story that
generates sparks, spice and physical excitement. This one answers
the question, who needs love? READ IT.

Rating: Summary: Bette's debut with Avon is a real treat! Review: UNFORGETTABLE offers everything a diehard romance reader wants in a novel, two very likable characters, a plot that keeps you turning the pages, steamy love scenes, and just a touch of bittersweet angst. Anna and professional football player, Gavin have known each other all their lives. Anna had a crush on Gavin when she was a teen, and has never truly gotten over it. However Gavin sees her only as the little sister of his best friend. Or so Anna thinks. One day Gavin's deadbeat dad drops by for money, and leaves Gavin a gift: His younger brother, Kyle. Abandoned with a brother he's never known by a father who obviously doesn't care about his well-being, Kyle is one lost kid. Gavin, however, steps up to the bat and vows to give Kyle a good home. He will need help though. That's where Anna comes in. Anna owns a catering business that prepares meals for Gavin's football team, the Detroit Lions. He sees her practically everyday. When he asks her to watch Kyle for him when he has to be out of town on away games, and to continue to cook for the two brothers Anna doesn't have to think long before agreeing to the arrangement. But with them in such close proximity, it isn't long before they both discover a strong attraction between them. Attraction? No, more like a burning desire. You will enjoy this heartwarming tale about family, and faith, and discovering that the love of your life is right under your nose!
Rating: Summary: Sweet story with spice! Review: Very entertaining read. I like emotional books with family problems as the subplots.SPOILER AHEAD: The second book I've read this year about a 27-year-old virgin, and while I hope this isn't a trend this was nonetheless an enjoyable story. At least the author tips off the reader before the big moment. In the other book I read I felt cheated to find out during the big scene that it was her first time. (I never did finish that book.)
