Blurb of Forget Forever by Mel A. Rowe
Quoted from Goodreads:
Falling for a ghost who never died is one thing. Falling for one she can’t touch is torture.
Trapped by an ancient family curse, the last Lord of Strathmuir Manor, Lucien MacArloch, has spent centuries haunting its halls, invisible to the living. Until a timid librarian with a stubborn streak stumbles into his world.
Forced into the volunteers’ meeting at the manor, Chantelle never expected to lock eyes with the infuriatingly attractive lord who just happens to be—a ghost.
Between their banter and the dark family secrets they uncover, Chantelle becomes determined to break the curse. If she fails, Lucien will remain trapped in Strathmuir Manor forever. And if she succeeds… she might lose him anyway.
Forget Forever is a slow-burn supernatural romance laced with gothic charm and mystery. Perfect for fans of Practical Magic, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and The Dead Romantics.

My Review
I was intrigued by the premise of this story and it did not disappoint.
Chantelle is a timid librarian who hides behind her hair and baggy clothing. Shaped by her past, to stay small and unseen. Lucien is a ghost, bound to haunt the halls of Strathmuir Manor by an ancient family curse.
This was such a cosy read, full of gothic charm, mystery and heart. The main characters are relatable, adding emotional depth and the author’s evocative writing style draws you straight into their world.
It’s the slowest of slow-burns, allowing Chantelle and Lucien’s relationship to develop naturally. I loved their witty banter, as well as the cast of quirky side characters who added warmth to the story.
Overall, this was a sweet, heartfelt read about healing, growth and finding love when you least expect it.
To be seen was rare enough. But to be heard? That was true power. A gift she had no idea she’d been giving him all along.
Thank you to The Berry Agency and the author for providing me with a digital copy of this book for review. All opinions are my own.
