My thoughts:
I was pleasantly surprised when I read Bleeding Heart
(book two in this series and Amber Stokes' debut novel) last year, and I was anticipating this prequel to that story! Forget Me Not was another great read! The pages flew by as I was reading and the story kept me guessing - I really had no idea how things would turn out for Elizabeth and David.
Speaking of David...I loved his character and how repentant he became when he made a certain mistake. I also loved that Myghal was in this book. He was a favorite character of mine from Bleeding Heart, so it was interesting getting this glimpse of his life before that book. I didn't like Joe all that much, for reasons I'll refrain from saying, as they might be spoiler-ish.
There was a little bit of mystery to Forget Me Not, which I really enjoyed. The characters were very endearing and I felt many emotions while reading this book.
Overall, Forget Me Not was a very enjoyable book to read! I recommend it if you enjoy short historical/western novels with some romance. I'm anticipating Amber's next book, Morning Glory, which is set to release summer 2014.

and 
(Elizabeth's sisters) were in this book (although I do wish they would have been in the story a little more). The writing was also very good.
