Yes! Second chances! Staring anew! Miscommunications cleared up and it turns out neither person in the relationship is the bad guy!Yes, these are common tropes, but they became popular for a reason. Because they’re awesome. And they can totally be carried out in ways that aren’t cliche, and that’s what Carey did with Almost Forgotten.I loved how you don’t get to the plot right out of the gate. Every woman mentioned in the first few chapters had me thinking, “Is this girl going to be Jake’s HEA?” It’s obvious once it happens, but you don’t normally see a book that doesn’t jump right into the main conflict. I thought that was really unique. For some reason, in the scene with Mia at the beginning, I was sure she was going to be the one. Ha. Ha.I also really liked seeing Danica’s relationships with the other characters in the books. You knew everyone was rooting for them and had been rooting for them since they were kids. With one major exception, of course.But, by far, the best relationship in this book wasn’t even the romantic one. It was Jake and Jordan. Something between them just clicked right away, and it made me go “awwwww.” Just…awww.Can’t wait to read the rest of the Broken Men Chronicles and see who gets a happy ending next (I wouldn’t mind a book about Jordan and Jenna :D)
