Unforgettable Mistakes - Now Published  by Niclives4books
12 parts Complete Mature
If you haven't read The Unforgettable Summer yet, I strongly advise you at least read that first, as there will be big spoilers in this book! This book comes after The Unforgettable One, but the Unforgettable books are all stand alone novels. Amy used to be the life of the party, now that she graduated college and it's time for the "rest of her life" to begin, she's not sure who she is or where she fits in. Her family life has never really been what it seems. She's always been daddy's little girl, but now she struggles to live up to both her parents' expectations. Then again, she has a talent for pretending. Her parents have an idea of not only the kind of job she should have, but also the type of man she should marry, so she dates what they see as the perfect man for her and has fun with the men she wants. There's one man who has been a constant in her life. He's always there for her in any way she's wanted or needed and he's one of her best friends, Matt Young. They've always had the perfect arrangement, so what's changed? Does Amy deserve her happily ever after? Will she get it? Matt has never been shy when it comes to women. He's had several girlfriends, slept around when he wanted and doesn't have a care in the world. At least that's how most of his friends see him, even Amy, but he's always been a big romantic at heart. He began falling for Amy many times over the years, but she always insist they weren't serious. So, he did what he had to do and faked it. He took the parts of her she was willing to share with him. He would always be there to help her, and he'd keep doing it as long as she's safe. Now that their friends are all getting married and even starting families of their own, Matt is ready to start his own future. Will he take his chance with Amy or decide it's time to move on? Will Amy go against her parents' wishes? Will she realize she's had what she needed all along, before it's too late? ***This book contains bad language, sex & adult situations!

Second chance romance | Small-town drama | Emotional & Angsty | Slow burn | Heartfelt family moments | Surfer & Broadway dancer love story Six years ago, Lani Daniels left Seaview Bay in the dead of night, her heart in pieces and her past trailing behind her like a ghost. She swore she'd never come back. Swore she'd never step foot on the boardwalk where her first love whispered promises beneath the stars. Swore she'd never face the betrayal that sent her running. But some things are impossible to outrun. Now, forced back to the one place she vowed to forget, Lani must navigate a town filled with memories she can't erase, people she left behind, and the one person she never wanted to see again-Jeremy Briggs. He was everything once. Her best friend. Her safe place. Her future. Now, he's just a stranger with familiar eyes. Determined to keep her heart locked away, Lani throws herself into family, old friendships, and the life she left behind, but Seaview Bay has a way of unraveling the past. And when the truth begins to surface-about that night, about everything she thought she knew-she finds herself caught between the future she built and the love she never truly let go of. But some wounds don't heal. Some things don't fade with time. And when the tides pull her back toward the one thing, she swore she'd never want again, she has to ask herself... Is the past better left buried, or was leaving her biggest mistake?

Available on iBooks, Amazon, B&N, and Kobo. Clickable links on my profile. One summer is all they have ... A chance encounter at a party brings Lance and Abby together. Lance just graduated and has a summer internship. His parents expect him to come back to Texas to work in the family business at the end of the summer. He likes to have fun and doesn't want to be tied down too soon. Until he meets Abby. Abby still has two years left of college and a mom who keeps her anchored near the town where she grew up. She is cautious in relationships, not letting people close. But Lance's persistence wears down her defenses. Knowing Lance is leaving, Abby tells herself it's just a summer fling. Will that be enough to keep her from falling in love? "Someone knocked into Abby from behind. She lurched forward against the guy's chest, crushing her cup against his abs and splashing the remains of her soda all over both of them. "Gah!" he shouted in surprise. He had instinctively grabbed her upper arms to steady her when she ran into him, but pushed her away slightly when he felt the soda soaking his shirt. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry," she gasped. He stood there with his arms out looking down at the mess on his shirt. Then he looked at the matching stain on her shirt and his lips twitched like he was suppressing a smile. He cleared his throat. "It's okay," he said. There was laughter in his voice. She noticed that his eyes seemed to be glued to her shirt, and she looked down. Abby gasped again. Her light pink tank was nearly see through now that it was wet." Check out Pinterest for my inspiration board for Summer Fling: www.pinterest.com/jericamacmillan/summer-fling
To Kiss Kate by Foreverbright8

Katiya Carpenter was born and raised in a perfectly small beach town. She spent her summers with the well-off "summer kids" and her best friends, she worked at the diner, and was top of her class. Life was good, until it wasn't. Eventually, Kate finds herself cheated on and unsure of her future. Until the Michaels move into town for the summer. And it might just happen that Jackson Michaels is exactly what she needs. ----------- I turned back to my friends, my eyes instantly running into Jack's. He was standing in front of the bleachers with Hendricks and a few other guys, talking to Genny. Jack was staring at me, as soon as I turned he flipped his head the other way. But it was too late. "Jack, right?" I said, smiling and getting his attention. "Yeah. You're Katiya, Kate." He gave me a dazzling smile. It made me smile back at him. "I mean, most people just pick one of the options, not both." He chuckled a little and took a step towards me. "Both is good. Who are you here to see?" He asked, looking around, and past me. "Nobody in particular." I seemed to say easily, even though I was in fact, here to watch Jason and my dad. "I mean, everyone. I know a lot of people. Small town." I tried to correct myself immediately, and I noticed Hannah holding back laughter as I stumbled on my words. "Gotcha." He said, still smiling wide and taking a glance back at the field. "Good to see you again, Katiya Kate." This time he said it as if it were one word. It made me smile on the inside. He turned and jogged back towards his team. I was such an idiot.
