Reviews:
The book gave me very vivid scenes of Ireland. Good romance and a easy read. Can't wait to read more of her books. ~ ARod

I enjoyed the story and the characters. Well written and well developed/developing characters. Very believable story. I look forward to reading more from this author!
~ Sharon

I was actually saving this for a business trip that started with a 559 am flight, but I finished packing the Sunday before and decided to start reading early. The story is thoroughly enjoyable to this point, as I had no preconceptions on ht to expect.
My daughter was napping and the hubby was at the movies so I've demolished 110 pages in less than two hours. :)
Polished it off on my flight and started the next book (Unfaithfully Yours). I encourage anyone to pick this up and read it, lazy weekend, beach/pool side read, rainy day, two & half hour flight... just read it!
There were times I applauded Rachel's attitude and drive to do something completely out of her comfort zone. There were other times I wanted her sister to smack some sense into the pea-brain I felt she had! (my sister would have been black & blue - if I had one).
The ending was something I did not see coming - but I didn't read the synopsis before I started the book, so I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for a fantastic read! ~ Woot

Review by: Margaret (Literary Chanteuse) on Dec. 20, 2011 :
An enjoyable book that although has a slow and melodic pace, managed to keep my interest. It held a few moments of discovery and excitement but over all was like sharing a cup of tea with a friend. Familiar and heartwarming.

Review by: Nicole Lorenzetti on Oct. 27, 2011 : (no rating)
Unforgettable Embrace by Joanne Clancy is the story of Rachel, a 30-ish Cork woman who doesn't lie around weeping (for long, anyway) when she breaks off her 14-year relationship with her childhood sweetheart; instead she finds herself in a big way.

I felt that I could hear the Irish brogue throughout the book, and I loved that. That manner of speaking is so different than American slang and I thoroughly appreciated hearing the characters speak in my head. It was positively lovely.

There is quite a bit happening in this piece, from Rachel's breakup to her road trip to finding new love (not so much a spoiler since you could guess by the title it involves romance) to happiness (again, same thing) to unexpected danger at the last minute. I won't give away the details, since everyone deserves a chance to read for themselves. Just know that it's twisty and curvy--just like life.

If you love intense description, this is definitely the book for you. I found the often-occurring detail a bit too tedious and often found myself skimming; interesting in everyday life, yes, but a bit heavy for fun reading. However, come for Rachel--positively messy and relentlessly open to who she might really be.
