Forgotten Chance: Book Three (The Forgotten Trilogy) by Virginia Wine – Review by Bobbi Wagner

I loved this book.  It is full of romance, humor and lots of steam.  This is a well written story that pulled me in right from the beginning.  This is the third book in this series, I highly suggest reading the previous two books to help you know where the characters come from and where they are right now.  In this book Bryar and Nathan are getting married or not?  Their relationship is put to the test as life throws things at them.  Are things the way they seem?  What role will Cash have in their life?  I had no problem connecting to these characters.  They make this story engaging and bring it to life.  I loved them, good or bad.  I highly recommend this book and this author.
