Vino & Veritas Book 16: Unforgettable by Marley Valentine

Unforgettable (Vino and Veritas)
Vino & Veritas Book 16

One night with Reeve Hale wasn’t enough. I knew it when I kissed him, I knew it when I slept with him, and I was certain of it when I walked out of his motel room the very next day.

So when the shy, gorgeous man is introduced as our newest employee at Vino and Veritas, I can’t help but conjure up all the ridiculous ways to convince him to repeat that unforgettable night. Like asking him to be my fake boyfriend at my sister’s upcoming wedding.

Only, I didn’t expect him to say yes.

Playing pretend shouldn’t feel this real. Especially when Reeve is planning on leaving Vermont after the summer.

We agreed to one night. We negotiated a fake relationship. But I’m the one who broke our terms. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love and he was never supposed to be so unforgettable.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Reeve just wanted one night out of his comfort zone. To be anything but himself. And to be brave and see what happens. What he doesn't expect is that his first one night stand leaves him with having feelings. That, and the man he thought he would never see again ends up working at the same place Reeve just got a new job. Lucky for Reeve, he isn't the only one feeling something after that night. Oz doesn't do relationships. He's happy with his life for the most part and didn't really expect for things to change. But then he meets Reeve and everything changes. From the moment he sees Reeve at Speakeasy he knows things are about to change. And after their night together, even more so. But he keeps to the rules of a one night stand and tries to let it go. He doesn't expect Reeve to show up at his job a few weeks later... Their chemistry is undeniable but both of them know they can't be more than friends. Reeve is leaving in a few months and neither are looking to get their hearts broken. But it doesn't stop Oz from asking him to his sister's wedding and to be his fake boyfriend to get his family off his back. And it certainly doesn't stop Reeve from accepting. Loved their story! This wasn't the typical fake relationship and fall in love pretending kind of story. This was more of the "we both know we have actual feelings for one another but we are going to try really hard not to let anything happen because this has a deadline." Oz and Reeve try hard not to fall for one another but they both know that it is going to be impossible. No matter how many rules they make up to try and keep themselves in check. A future can't happen for them...not unless someone is willing to be brave and take a leap of faith. There were so many little twists and turns to the story, and Oz and Reeve were such great characters. Just another great addition to this series!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
