Book Description:
Truly Unforgettable
Georgeanne Howard, charm school graduate and Southern belle extraordinaire, leaves her fiancé at the altar when she realizes she just can't marry a man old enough to be her grandfather, no matter how rich he is. John Kowalsky unknowingly helps her escape, and only when it's too late does he realize that he's absconded with his boss's bride. At the height of his hockey career, this bad boy isn't looking to be anybody's savior but his own, no matter how beautiful this angel may be. But a long night stretches ahead of them--a night too sultry to resist temptation.
When Georgeanne and John meet again, she is on her way to becoming Seattle's domestic darling and he is past his hell raising days. But he is shocked to learn that their single unforgettable night in paradise produced a daughter, and he is determined to be part of her life. Georgeanne has loved John since the moment she jumped into his little red Corvette seven years ago, but she doesn't want to risk her heart again. Is he really a changed man? And will he risk the wrath of his boss, and one final chance at glory, to prove that this time his love will be everlasting?

One of Gibson's better books. Poor girl is saved, gets pregnant, gets dumped by guy fighting his own demons- they meet up years later when she has made a success of herself. There are a few obstacles here they each overcome which makes them stronger as characters. This helps to make the novel very likeable.

2nd Rachel Gibson book I've read and I loved it. While the cover looks like the book is mostly fluffy romance it is deceiving. Yes the story is pretty much the same formula for a romannce novel but Gibson is funny, sexy and serious. Really enjoyed this book as much as I did the first one I read. I'm looking forward to reading more of her work. Carol

I enjoyed this book in spite of its flaws. The runaway bride plot is more than a little tired and cliche, but the characters were strong enough to pull me through that. The flaw that was more difficult to overcome, for me anyway, was the complete reversal of the heroine's speech patterns when the story made a 7 year jump. It felt to me as though the author just got tired of writing the character's speech the way she'd introduced it, so she just dropped it, hoping the reader would see that as part of a maturation process. I didn't and I don't, but I gritted my teeth and accepted it. I also felt that the issue of the heroine being dyslectic wasn't "paid off" as it should have been. The emphasis it got at the beginning of the story made it deserve more than the shrug off it got later. Had these issue been handled more effectively, I wouldn't have been bounced out of the story as often as I was. It was only the strength of the characters that got me to finish the story at all.

I enjoyed this book as I do most of Rachel Gibson's books. It wasn't my favorite, but it was a fun, easy read. I like the depth she gives her characters. She is very good at making you feel their sadness and insecurities.

Vassiliki (This is a wonderful book! I'm rereading it for the 10th time right now and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside every single time.
This book was a really light read. It was entertaining enough and kept me engaged. Definitely a good beach read.
Heather S. (Rachel Gibson is one of my favorite authors, and this was one of her best!
I enjoyed the fact that this book was light and fluffy. Reading is my escape, and often, after a rough week's work I don't want to think too hard to understand the characters and the plotline.
I liked the fact that each character had flaws. I especially liked the way the main female character found a way to overcome her dyslexia to make something of herself when she was raised to believe she was nothing more than a pretty face.
