Synopsis
Everyone has a past…good or bad,
they are always there. They lurk and linger in the shadows, sometimes reappearing
at the most inconvenient times.
Gabby and Bradley thought that their pasts would remain dormant, that happiness was theirs for the taking. Still the strongest of relationships can be rocked by the ugliness from a previous life, even if it seems to be a world away. The fact remains an ugly past is never distant. It taints everything it touches, drives permanent rifts between loved ones, and sometimes can ruin everything. Gabby and Bradley must find the only way to battle the past. Forgiveness becomes a light through the darkness, a guide for the lost, and hope for the hopeless. With forgiveness comes bright, new beginnings

Jenn's Review:
Going to the chapel and we’re going to get married… You’re
singing this aren’t you? Bradley and Gabby could not be happier. The ring is on
her finger and everything is going to plan, right? WRONG!!
Forgiven is packed with so many emotional hurdles! As a
couple, Bradley and Gabby go through so much in this book that sometimes I got
a little nervous wondering where JB was taking me. When I can laugh, cry and
swoon in one book, I know it’s a great one!
From the beginning, I could feel their excitement. Newly
engaged and talking about moving in together. Gabby still has a lot on her
plate though. She is transferring schools and needing to get packed up to move.
But she’s ready for them to get their lives together started. And, she’s ready
in other ways as well. However, they both have decided they will wait until
after the wedding to make love for the first time. It is a promise she made to
her mom and she is going to keep it. Bradley is very supportive of her decision
and it made me love him even more.
The story is only just beginning. When Gabby finds out
something that Bradley kept from her, she falls apart. Bradley doesn’t know
what to do. Sam, Gabby's sister, is angry at Bradley; all he had to do was keep his mouth shut.
So with Gabby dealing with her past, and Bradley having to deal with Veronica
and possibly his future, tensions run high and feelings are hurt.
“Because Bradley,
when I needed you, you were with her. You chose her.”
There were so many times while reading that I was so
nervous, I felt like I had cotton in my mouth! My stomach was in knots and I
couldn’t stop reading, I had to know what was going to happen with everyone! JB
has given us a story that is not the norm. Yes, it is a beautiful love story
and I loved the fact that Gabby was not going to be swayed from her principles,
no matter how badly she wanted to! I laughed, cried and swooned and I loved
every minute of ‘This’ great story!
