First off congrats Tayla on your first novel. Michelle and Tayla's first co-write was amazing. Make sure you have tissue ready and please check your triggers. Lillian feels she is unforgettable. When she meets Callan her world changes. This book is so good and so emotional I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next book by these two.

Billionaire, artist, emotional trauma, horrible family
It was eh….It basically read and was written like one of those old wattpad billionaire books. She’s a shy introvert who everyone in her life forgets and doesn’t care about from friends to family. She is always making the effort so she decides to take charge of her life and not take it anymore and ask for better for herself. He is a billionaire that owns an escort service (just dates not sexual) she hires him for a date and to go to her friends birthday to show how much better she’s doing without them. They start having feelings and it’s a whole thing.

Deliciously melodramatic, heartbreakingly emotional, this book is as the title says, unforgettable. A beautiful introvert meets a billionaire who hides trauma under his sophisticated façade, and together they form a perfect couple. They give the other what they need, she needs to feel prioritized and he needs to hover.
Lillian is an artist, she knows her worth but hasn’t been able to get recognized. And what is worse, her own family treat her as an afterthought. Her father, sister and brother are lawyers and they seem to think it’s all that is important. Lillian’s art is a whim. She feels neglected and invisible, same with her socialite friends, who only care for being seen and shopping. I loved that Lillian, notwithstanding her loneliness, is inherently strong and stubborn. She suffers but she continues to toil on her art, endlessly hoping that she will make it.
Callan is a different type of CEO, he owns an escort service but they only act as escorts. No sex, just companionship. His company is extremely successful and he only takes dates when there is an emergency. He takes Lillian’s engagement because he recognized her from a week before buying coffee and because her case is sensitive. She ranted about feeling invisible and wanting an escort to feel seen. So Callan goes and he does more than see her, he falls for her.
I loved this love story and loved both characters! I hurt for Lillian, so kind, so good, but shy and introverted, so it was hard for her to stake her place in relations. It took the attentions of a good man to raise her self-esteem and dare to ask for recognition.
I loved the high drama that these two authors took the plot to, and loved the plot twists that caused so much uncertainty, in both the characters and myself! I only didn’t like that they didn’t punish enough the horrible ones in the story, I wanted more doom in hell for them all.
Lovely, fun, adorable, angsty and ultimately super sweet and happy!

When I read the blurb to this book, it intrigued me. It's a different storyline to most of the books I read, and in some small way, I feel like I can relate to Lillian, but in a different capacity.
Lillian comes across as such a sweet person with this really great personality and no one knows it because she's not as extroverted as everyone else. I get the sense that it takes her a little bit to open up to people and feel comfortable with them, this is the part I can relate to.
The concept of hiring a date is an interesting one and this is the first book I've read like it. Lillian just wants to feel important to someone and if she has to pay to get it, then so be it.
Callan comes across as an easy going, down to earth type of guy, despite being a billionaire and he's the one who agrees to be the escort.
These two spending time with each other was cute and as Callan focused his attention on Lily, you could really start to see her blossom. I loved her character development and how confident she was becoming towards the end.
Callan also wasnt without his own hang ups and i like that he was upfront about everything. These two were perfect for each other. I felt for both of these characters and it was good to see how accepting thet were of each other, flaws and all.
I also like that this book highlighted that family isnt always blood related, family is that group of people, or individuals, that accept youf for who you are and don't try to change, they're there for you, no matter what. That you don't need the fake people in your life with their negative energy. Lily being an artist and depicting certain aspects of society was great. It brings to light real issues we have these days.
There were times where I was a ball of anxiety with how things were happening, the tension in some scenes was really intense and had you wondering if things were going to get resolved. Despite everything, not once did they give up on each other and that made for some really emotional scenes.
I found myself relating to Lily more and more and it helped to connect with the characters.
For anyone who has felt like Lily, those people do not deserve to be in your life. I really enjoyed this book and I'd recommend this to anyone who loves a billionaire romance with a slightly damaged MMC who has a possessive side and an FMC who feels invisible.
I've always loved Michelle's work, well done to Tayla as well, you should be proud, great work and thank you! Would love to see something else written by you both!

Lovingly Predictable
I love how the story unfolds. Two sweet souls looking for each other without even knowing. Oh, and the HEA was on point
