I was approved to read this book as an e-arc on netgalley. Cal, an artist, is being stalked by someone who calls him his soulmate, he decides to hire Grey who owns a public relation firm. But after seeing the two talk, Cal's stalker decides to threaten Grey. Cal and Grey decide to fake date to lure the stalker out and to finally catch them. But there is one catch, Cal and Grey hooked up, one year ago, after a dinner with mutual friends and were unable to forget each other. I really loved this book even though I had trouble getting into it at first, but once I was in, I was hooked. I really loved Cal and Grey, even though they are both really different and had different takes on love, one lost his wife 2 years ago and the other had never been in love, they were both willing to put their heart at risk for the other. I also really loved the thriller sub plot of this book, and liked that the book was more focused on Cal and Grey than on the stalker.

Callum is under house arrest…. well that’s how he sees it anyway. The flamboyant artist is confined to home, in the company of a body guard and private investigator after being sent threatening emails and pictures. It appears there’s a stalker and he’s not sure of the impending risk prior to the biggest exhibition of his career.

What’s worse is that Callum’s most recent crunch (and previous one night stand) Grey, ends up on his doorstep, as he’s received threats as well following a photograph being taken of the couple at a function.

Callum has two choices - hide away from the stalker, or smoke them out … he chooses the latter with the help of Grey who agrees to a fake marriage.

What follows is the spiralling of a crazed stalker … against the feelings developed by Cal and Grey as they spend more time together, embattled against the stalkers threats. Grey is widower who finds himself willing to love again, but Cal doesn’t want to settle down. Grey is a delightful character, and Cal …. Well he’s a bit more high maintenance. A nice story, if but a tad unbelievable with a pretty predictable plot.

Thanks to netgalley for the copy of this book to read, especially during Pride Month.

I was excited for this one because I read the book just before it in the series a couple of weeks ago and wanted to see Cal's story through but sadly I just couldn't connect to the characters or the story. Interesting story, just not for me.

I liked this story and the characters! Cal's character was incredibly lovable and the storyline of the stalker added some thrill. Good spice and storyline.

This story is about Cal and Grey. The two met at a party with mutual friends. Grey was recently widowed and having a hard time with his loss. Later that evening he invited Cal to his hotel and room where they spent the night together. Soon after that Cal freaked out and left and the two never talked about what would happen after. They're total opposites, Cal is a free spirited artist who didn't grow up with parents that loved and supported him. Grey is a pr manager, more rational and wants commitment. Fast forward several months and Cal has a stalker and has to hire body guards and hide out in his home. All of a sudden Grey is also being stalked by the same person who finds him being too close with Cal a threat. The two end up living together and come up with the idea of a fake marriage to lure the stalker out of hiding. Can the two trick the stalker? Can they work out their growing feelings for each other and possibly start a life together? Read and find out! I really enjoyed reading this book. Its the third in the series and the spice was fantastic. I did guess who the stalker was halfway through, but it was still very fun to read. Tws; stalking, violence, mental health

‘Are you sure about that ? As I recall, a firm hand is just what you like.’

THIS, is what I’m talking about. I don’t know specifically how my parents screwed me up but I really really like ‘daddy’ vibes. Even mild ones.

Cal & Grey had a one-night-stand once and they’re both still not over it. When Cal’s stalker seemingly gets more aggressive, his security team suggests a fake marriage to lure this person out into the open. Grey volunteers. The rest is history.

The thriller/romance is on the long list of my favorite subgenres and that’s why I was immediately drawn to this book. The thriller part was more of a subplot however and resolved pretty quickly. Personally I didn’t really mind. At the end of the day, it’s a contemporary romance with an emotionally mature widower and a less emotionally mature serial dater. I may have cried a bit towards the end even with the slightly cringey conversation.

FYI, I think the widower angle was handled very well. I usually don’t really like to read about widower characters but thinking about my few other experiences with the trope, I’m pretty sure that this one comes out on top.

Also, I think I have a thing for the name Cal. Is it me or is this an objectively sexy name ?

**4.5 Stars**

Unforgettable You is a perfect mix of mystery, drama and romance with great friendships and some seriously scorching chemistry between the main characters. I read book two in the series previously but this book can be read as a standalone. It was nice to see some familiar faces return in this book though as all the characers are friends.

Cal is an artist who as of late finds himself dealing with a stalker. As the stalker's focus increases in intensity making Cal more nervous, it is agreed that Grey would take over his PR. Grey is one of Cal's best friend's friends and a former one-night stand that he is having trouble forgetting about. When the stalker proves to be making things even more complicated and things get even more dangerous, it puts Cal and Grey in more of a forced proximity situation, which also fuels their chemistry and feelings for each other.

I adored Grey and Cal and loved them together. Their chemistry was palpable and I found myself rooting for them from the start. I enjoyed the plot of the story and was engaged from begining to end. I was highly impressed with the writing and story line and look forward to reading more of this author's work in the future.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own. Thank you to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book.

The book Unforgettable You by Ava Olsen is about romance and LGBTQIA. It talks about a New York based artist and illustrator named Cal and Grey who owns a public relation firm in Toronto. Cal and Grey happens to have a one night stand and afterwards things got heated emotionally between them; with Cal been a guy that hardly falls in love and Grey who lost his wife and is still Vulnerable. Cal got his social life messed up because of an invincible stalker who loves him and continue to send threat messages to him. Grey and Cal have to plan an arranged marriage living together for a month to get their stalker out of the bag so they can be able to live their normal social life without fear. Can they be able to control their feelings? This book is really nice, if you are a fan of Intense romance you should tighten your seat belt because things really got heated without any detail left out. I love the characters and how their physique was clearly described as it made it easy for me to paint a clear picture of what this people looks like in real life. Their physique matches the role they played in the book. The houses in the book have so much detailing and a clear picture in my mind as what the houses looks in real life. If you are a fan of same sex fantasy, intense romance then this book is actually for you
