Forever and a Day by Delilah Marvelle
Roderick Gideon Tremayne,

the recently appointed Duke of Wentworth, never expected to find himself in New York City, tracking down a mysterious map important to his late mother. And he certainly never expected to be injured, only to wake up with no memory of who he is. But when he sees the fiery-haired beauty who's taken it upon herself to rescue him, suddenly his memory is the last thing on his mind.

Georgia Milton,

the young head of New York's notorious Forty Thieves, feels responsible for the man who was trying to save save her bag from a thief. But she's not prepared for the fierce passion he ignites within her. When his memory begins to return, her whole world is threatened, and Roderick must choose between the life he forgot and the life he never knew existed.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: Top Pick

Delilah Marvelle debuts another earthy, sexy series with FOREVER AND A DAY! It’s a bit difficult to review since the author has announced the advanced reading copies are quite a bit different from the final version, but I certainly enjoyed the version I read.

I thought this novel was pretty atypical, resembling movies more than romance novels. It has some standard romance aspects, like amnesia and Pygmalion plots, but the heroine was a poor New York widow, Georgia Emily Milton, and much of the story is set in 1830 New York, where the hero is visiting when he is hit in the head and loses his memory.

Georgia is a woman who has plans and knows what she wants. She has strong opinions about relationships, and “Robinson” thinks he can give her what she wants until he finds out who he really is.

There is an ongoing story line that will continue in the second novel. There is also a prequel, FOREVER MINE, available as an e-book. Additional material is available for free on the author's website.

While the hero is the ever popular British nobleman, he’s a bit different than your average hero. All in all, I would qualify FOREVER AND A DAY as an unusual historical. If you are looking for something fresh, definitely check it out!
