Review:
This might be my first amnesia story…it’s the first one I remember reading, anyway. 😉
Both Helen and Tom were highly sympathetic characters–seeing their thoughts and observing their feelings throughout the story really made me want them to be happy, though knowing what they were thinking and feeling made an HEA for them seem almost impossible for much of the book.
I don’t know how Ms. Carson did it–even though the whole “we met and married in 14 hours and expect it will last forever” premise behind their marriage seems totally implausible as did Helen’s memory loss (especially minus the usual illness or bump on the head–even though those plot devices are undoubtedly equally ridiculous…) I still was 100% invested in their outcome. I wanted them to be together, at least as much as Tom did–no, we both needed it.
Since my first book from this author was pretty much unputdownable, you’d better believe I’ll be coming back for more!
Rating 4 stars / A-
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Despite a no-nonsense background as a West Point graduate and U.S. Army officer, Caro Carson has always treasured the happily-ever-after of a good romance novel. After her military service, she worked in the healthcare industry with a Fortune 100 company, talking science with doctors who were rarely handsome bachelor Texans like the doctors in her books. Now a USA Today bestselling author and RITA™award winner, Caro is delighted to be living her own happily-ever-after with her husband (who is a handsome Texan) and their two children. They live in the great state of Florida, a location which has saved the coaster-loving theme park fanatics a fortune on plane tickets.

USA Today Bestselling author Caitlin Crews discovered her first romance novel at the age of twelve, in a bargain bin at the local five and dime. It involved swashbuckling pirates, grand adventures, a heroine with a mind of her own, and a seriously mouthwatering and masterful hero. The book (the title of which remains lost in the mists of time) made a serious impression. Caitlin was immediately smitten with romances and romance heroes, to the detriment of her middle school social life. And so began her life-long love affair with romance novels, many of which she insists on keeping near her at all times, thus creating a fire hazard of love wherever she lives.
Caitlin has made her home in places as far-flung as York, England and Atlanta, Georgia. She was raised near New York City, and fell in love with London on her first visit when she was a teenager. She has backpacked in Zimbabwe, been on safari in Botswana, and visited tiny villages in Namibia. She has, while visiting the place in question, declared her intention to live in Prague, Dublin, Paris, Athens, Nice, the Greek Islands, Rome, Venice, and/or any of the Hawaiian islands. Writing about exotic places seems like the next best thing to actually moving there.
She currently lives in California with her animator/comic book artist husband and their menagerie of ridiculous animals.
