Never Forgotten
All He Wanted was Justice. All She Wanted was His Heart. Georgina Whitmore, not accustomed to any man being unaffected by her charms, is plagued with the disappearance and rejection of Simon Fancourt. Twelve years later, Mr. Fancourt returns to British society with two children and a mad hunger for justice. Racing against time, Simon works to uncover the men responsible for his wife’s horrific murder, protect his children, and fulfill his father’s unexpected will by marrying Georgina—the last thing in the world he wants to do. Though her heart throbs to accept, she would rather lose him again than have his name without his love. She denies his proposal of matrimony, knowing it will cost them both. But as tragedies unravel and secret enemies narrow their sights on Simon, Georgina risks her life—and her reputation—to protect him and the children. Will the danger scorch them alive? Or will it, for the first time, open his heart to her?

Never Forgotten has all the Hannah Linder feels–a twisting plot, a driving hero, a loveable heroine, betrayals, danger, and love. Beyond that, Hannah has a poetic, lyrical way of shaping sentences that makes the words a joy to read.
Simon and Georgina are fantastic character. Simon's misperceptions of Georgina were written with such skill that I could feel his thoughts alongside Georgina's hurt and sympathize with both characters. A host of side characters add to the story's intrigue–and the stakes, in the case of Simon's children. Mystery and danger go hand in hand, and everyone is a suspect.
The plot, of course, was intense and enough to keep a person on the edge of their seat. The faith content was light, but present. I didn't love the intensity of the romance so much toward the end, so that is something potential readers will want to keep in mind.
Overall, Never Forgotten is a story for those who love Gothic-style Regency novels featuring heroism and love. Just be sure to have a stretch of uninterrupted time to read it. The book is hard to put down.
