Love Never Forgets by Tristen Rowen

 



Amazon Link   - Available in KU  




Finding love is hard, falling in love is easy, and forgetting the love of your life is unimaginable.

When Scott Prescott makes that midnight trip to Vermont in 1990, he gives up everything and has no regrets.

Ten years earlier, Scott is nothing more than a spoiled brat. The last thing he ever wants to do is spend the entire summer of his eighteenth year in the boonies of Vermont, all because of some silly promise his dad made to his best friend when they were kids.

Stuck out in a country inn, missing his home in Boston, Scott is determined to be miserable until he catches the eye of Terry Lachance, the inn owner's twenty-year-old son. Outgoing, eternally optimistic and tenacious, Terry is driven to break through Scott's walls, and he succeeds in only a day.

Faced with personal and societal challenges of the time, Terry is nevertheless convinced Scott will make the "right decision." there is no telling if their love is strong enough to withstand it all.

Inspired by Tristen Rowen’s personal experiences, Love Never Forgets is the unforgettable love story between two men whose love spans an eternity. Not only is it a love story between two men, it’s a testament to the strength of family in a time of crisis.
 




My Rating - 5 Stars!

Love Never Forgets is a romance many years in the making. My first time reading Tristen Rowen, I am extremely pleased with this gut wrenching tale of first love, second chances, and heartbreak.

The story starts with a summer spent together at camp. Scott and Terry instantly connect and quickly fall in love. It's all about sneaking around and getting naked. 

But then...they are forced apart by a controlling, homophobia father.  

Many years later, the two easily fall back into a strong connection when they meet up again. And a beautiful love story is continued. 

If you enjoy romances that span the years, following a couple from when they meet until their older years, you will love this book. 

But... 

And it's a big but, you will cry. Bring all the tissues along when you get to the second part of this book. You will need them.

This is a love story, but it's not a romance with a happily ever after. 

This couple is what everyone wants in life. Their love is never in doubt (to the reader) and the strength of their bond is inspirational. 

But they know pain and suffering in a way that is heartbreaking and completely realistic. All of it's written with knowledge and care, fully bringing the emotions of both to life. 

The author's writing style is fabulous, easy to follow, and perfectly captures the important details of the years. Although there are many time jumps, and the story isn't overly long, nothing ever feels like it is missing. 

Love Never Forgets is one of those special stories that will suck you in and leave you fully consumed throughout. I am extremely pleased with this Tristen Rowen book and am thrilled that I was able to discover it. This is one of those memorable stories that will stay in my heart for a long time.
