Blog Tour: Review & Excerpt of Forget You by Nina Crespo



Author: Nina Crespo
Publisher: Pocket Star
Date of publication: April 16, 2018

Sophie Jordan dreams about hooking up with Nicolas “King” Kingman—the gorgeous CEO of her company—but as her boss, he’ll always remain out of reach. King knows he isn’t built for happily-ever-afters and only indulges in brief romantic encounters. But when Sophie agrees to fill in as his last-minute date to a charity gala, an unexpected discovery quickly escalates their platonic relationship to one of passion.

King is determined to ignore their attraction and, feeling betrayed, Sophie severs ties with him and the company. Everything changes, however, when he’s injured in an accident, and Sophie agrees to help until he closes a major deal. Unfortunately, he’s developed amnesia, and although he doesn’t remember their night together, desire binds them in ways they can’t resist.

Time is running out on closing the deal, as well as Sophie moving on to her new career. Will King deny love in favor of winning and lose Sophie forever?

My thoughts:

Forget You is the first in a new series about the Kingman brothers series .  In this one, Sophie has been "King's" assistant for two years.  She has also harbored a secret crush on him.  However, she knows if she were to get involved, she would be another notch on his bedpost.  King avoids commitment at all costs, but he starts noticing his assistant is more than a valuable member of his staff.

I have mixed feelings about this book.  Ultimately, I did enjoy it.  I liked Sophie and wanted her to succeed.  I was cheering on most of her choices.  I just couldn't really, at first, see what she saw in King.  He was really kind of a man-whore.  She acts surprised after he wants to forget their one night stand, but did she really expect anything more?  King had a really messed up sense of commitment, but I felt like have did have a lot of growth in the end.  I  didn't feel the chemistry right away between the couple.  In essence, they had to grow on me.  Their HEA was sweet and I did walk away with a feeling of hope for them.  I look forward to reading the next book.

Enjoy this excerpt:


What he was about to do seemed crazy. He just needed to hear Sophie say nothing sexual had ever happened between them. Then he could chalk up those images as pure fantasy.
He pulled into a space, threw the gear in park, and got out. Sophie’s shocked expression alone would whip him down to size. Guilt over dreaming of her naked would replace his attraction to her. That’s exactly what he needed. A heaping pile of remorse.
Signs with numbers and arrows led him through the maze of duplexes in the courtyard. In the past, he’d followed her from work after a long night to make sure she’d made it safely home, but he’d never actually gone to her apartment before. King located the right door and rapped on it. Not that he had a good reason now.
A porch light flickered on above him. He heard movement inside. What if Sophie’s roommate answered? He’d forgotten about her. Shit. What was his excuse? A lost phone number. Problems accessing the presentation from his computer.
Sophie opened the door. Devoid of makeup, hair swept back into a ponytail, and dressed in a faded green tee and jean shorts, she radiated uncomplicated beauty. “King? What are you doing here?”
He barely squashed the need to take her in his arms and went inside. “We have to talk. Is your roommate here?”
“No. Robin’s at work.” She closed the door. “Why? What’s going on?”
“When were we together?”
“Yesterday. Don’t you remember?” The genuine concern in her expression made him feel like a cross between a jerk for thinking of her sexually and a man struggling to prove his sanity.
“No. I mean yes.” He raked his hair and pulled so hard his scalp stung. “When did we sleep together?” Shock. Laughter. An emphatic denial. He braced for them.
Sophie paled. She shrugged and brushed her bangs from her forehead. Her tell. She planned to deny what happened.
No way in hell was she getting away with that. “How long ago was it? Weeks? Days? Why didn’t you tell me?”
