Forgotten Hearts by Sloan Archer – a Review
Description:
n the summer of 1991, young love blossomed between Cash Axton and Vanessa Paul in the vast field of forget-me-nots that separated their family homes in small town Dunblair Ridge, Montana. The two became inseparable best friends, and ten-year-old Cash made a vow to Vanessa that he intended to one day carry out: I’m going to marry you. But with autumn came an unforeseen tragedy, resulting in an event that would tear the two apart and divide them by thousands of miles.
As adults, Cash and Vanessa are living separate lives until fate steps in and brings them back to Dunblair Ridge. Cash, haunted by the events he’d witnessed overseas as a photojournalist, comes home to heal and take over the family’s failing ranch. Vanessa, a workaholic financial planner who suddenly finds herself jobless and single, leaves New York City for Montana to claim the farmhouse she inherited.
Vanessa intends to stay in Dunblair Ridge just long enough to fix up her property and sell it, but then she reunites with Cash and a flood of memories comes rushing back. While the two cannot deny their mutual attraction, they struggle to ignore the ticking clock that counts down the days until Vanessa returns to New York.
Will Cash’s vow go unbroken?
Review:
Forgotten Hearts by Sloan Archer is a lovely romance with a small town appeal and great characters.
Vanessa has worked very hard at J&W. It’s been long hours and sacrifice, so when the partners accuse her of embezzlement, all her hard work and dreams go down the drain. And if that isn’t bad enough her boyfriend of two years has not only been cheating on her with the coffee shop girl, but she’s knocked up too and oh! Ya! She has to move out of the apartment they shared immediately!
So when she gets a call that her aunt Jeanie has died and left her the farm and everything she owns, it’s with a sad heart that she returns to the one place she felt loved and secure; it was just 3months but it was the best time of her life.
In returning to the farm she is surprised that it is in bad disrepair and in need of fixing up. When Cash finds out Vanessa is back he can’t wait to see her again, but alot has changed. Cash has been though his own share of hard times and working his ranch and keeping it going takes everything he has; when it comes to romance he keeps it to one night stands. But seeing Vanessa brings back good memories and a new chance at love.
So he offers to help fix up the farm house hoping to reconnect and it’s no time at all that these two start falling in love and making plans for Dunblair Ranch. Just about the time Cash is ready to lay his heart on the line, once again Vanessa is slipping though his fingers. Seems her old boss wants her to come back and become a partner, something that Vanessa has wanted for so long! Will love win this time of will Cash lose Vanessa forever?
