If Adam Collins is going to ever reconnect with lost love Marissa Brooks, he's going to have to get over the guilt of causing a peer's death 12 years ago--and the guilt over breaking Marissa's heart to join the Marines in the boy's place. Original.

Unforgiven

Lynn Braden

Unforgiven was an extremely well written book. The characters were very believable as was the plot. Emotions were high from the beginning and the level of emotions continued to pulse even higher as the book went along. However, I didn't enjoy reading this book. I found it depressing. There was so much death and loss throughout the book, that the ending was too little too late. I had trouble seeing how the characters in this book could ever be happy with the staggering amount of emotional baggage that they all carried. Good book but hard to read.

For as long as he could remember, he wanted her… Raised by a single mother, Adam Collins resolved to take no chances with a girl’s future—or his own. That’s why, as hard as it was, he resisted everything he felt for Marissa Brooks. Then one night a reckless challenge left a fellow student dead and changed both their lives forever. As penance, Adam took the boy’s place in the Marines, where he could disappear into discipline and duty, and left Marissa behind to struggle with her dreams. Twelve years later, Adam is back in Walkers Ford to serve as the best man in his friend’s wedding. The years haven’t diminished the electric connection he has with Marissa. But Adam’s mistake continues to haunt him, and Marissa is stumbling under the weight of her family’s legacy. Together they wrestle with demons and dreams, but if there’s any hope for a future together Adam has to not only find a way to forgive himself, but also ask others for forgiveness—especially from the woman whose heart he broke.
