July 2008

CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE |4| Lashonda Silver

REVIEW:  Detective Jaclyn Mason, of the Atlanta Police Department, world is turned upside down after witnessing the death of her partner. Desperate to solve her partner’s murder, Jaclyn turns to her partner’s best friend, Brad Williams for help and support. Passions ignite as the two grow closer and the mystery continues to unravel.

FORGET ME NOT takes place in various locations in Atlanta, with the settings described in such a way, that it was truly the location and not a character in the book. The situations the characters were placed in are realistic and relevant to the story line. With Brad as the male interest in the story, his character was a little more mysterious and left you wondering just what part he played in the looming case.

FORGET ME NOT has a well thought out story line. The underlying drama of Jaclyn's overprotective brother and power hungry ex husband, feeds into the story line. I was reminded of the lengths that family will go through in the name of protecting your interest. The mixture of romance, drama, and police corruption makes for an interesting story.

I loved this book because it went beyond the normal plot of a romance novel with the unfolding drama of the murder and investigation. Ms. Byrd captures your interest from the first scene and keeps you enthralled to the end. I found myself trying to solve the case and figure out the identity of the Shadow as I read along.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants a romance novel with a little more than what a traditional plot offers. I recommend taking the time to read this book and digest all of the details as the case unfolds.
