Nicolas Kingman and Sophie Jordan have worked side by side for a few years now and each has pushed their attraction to other to the backs of their minds; until one night they allow their desires take over and life as they knew would never be the same; especially after an accident leaves King with a slight touch of amnesia.
King, as he is known to his friends, has always been told he’s like his father. This isn’t such a good thing considering his father is womanizer and a jerk. With this King has decided that relationships are not for him; if he’s like his father he’ll just screw them up and hurt the woman he’s with. Problem with this, in my opinion, is that deep down King is actually a relationship guy…he wants to be a relationship guy. Sophie has watched the parade of women come in King’s life and watched him very nicely escort them out. Women in his life have a shelf life and it’s only about a few months long. After their one night together Sophie feels like her life on the shelf is pretty much done when she takes King’s reaction as a dismissal and what relationship they did have starts to unravel.
This is my first book by Nina Crespo and it’s also the first book in a new series which I think I want to continue reading. This was a quick and easy read and while I liked it, I felt like there was something missing. Based on the synopsis I thought it was going to be a kind of light-hearted story. That might be my fault because my first thought was thinking it was going to be something like “While You Were Sleeping”, which wasn’t a favorite of mine but that’s what I was thinking it would be like. The amnesia part of it wasn’t at all what I thought it was going to be. In fact it was more like blackout memories than what I would call amnesia. I’m not a fan of the ending, it just seemed really abrupt. It was like one minute they were fighting, then there’s an “I’m sorry” and the next thing, it’s over.
I would like to have seen more in the way of King’s relationship with his brother Aiden since it seem to be the two of them against the world. Anyway, it was an okay read for the most part. I’m assuming the next book will be Aiden’s story. The most intriguing part of this book was this statement from King to his brother Aiden…
“In Virginia Beach, when Gerard was trying to bust my balls, he said, ‘Out of all of you, I thought you were the smartest.’ What did he mean by ‘all of you’? There’s only the two of us.”
Hmmm…..I wonder how many Kingman brothers are out there.

File this one under liked but did not love. It was a quick read that was satisfying in its way.

King (oh how I rolled my eyes at that nickname) was more of an a-hole than anything else so part of me wanted Sophie to cut him lose which is not a sign of a super successful romance. I really liked Sophie for some reason (even if her amazing bracelets that are referenced over and over sounded super cheesy and like something I could find anywhere) and the book drew me in. They definitely had a connection and I was interested to see how they could possible come back from the aftermath of their night together. Easy to finish in one sitting and I liked it enough to seek out book two when it come out.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I received an arc from Netgalley. Although King had quite the past in this book I was rooting for him by the end. I am also glad Sophie followed her dreams. I would recommend this book to others. Not an overall favorite but nice quick read.

First off, I love the cover! It immediately drew me in! I was, however, expecting a little bit more with the story. I liked it overall, but I found it a little far fetched that the MC would decide to quit a steady job she's held for the past two years all because she slept with her boss and he got nervous. The sex appeal was definitely there, but I was hoping for a bit more credibility.

I enjoyed this book more than others with an amnesia plot. King looses only a few weeks of memories, but oh boy the memories that he forgets are hot. So hot that his dreams can't forget them.

I received an ARC from NG for review

I LOVED this story! King was a really hot and fun character and Sophie is super terrific as his love interest. King and Sophie have worked together for years and Sophie has a crush on him. One night his date dumps him before a charity event and so he asks S to go with him. That is a night that changes Sophie's life. In every kind of way.

However the morning after is pretty awful for her. And she ends up resigning. But then King has a plane accident and ends up with amnesia. S agrees to stay on until King recovers. Meanwhile King has no idea what happened with him and S or that she resigned. But little things start coming back...

Will S quit? who is her new boss? and will King remember the night and when he does can he get a repeat? This story answers all these questions and I loved every second of the story.

Sophie Jordan's got a crush on her boss. Well...more than a crush. He depends on her, values her opinion and is always free to stop whatever-- or whoever-- he is doing if she calls him with a work problem.. He depends on her for everything and sees her as his right hand...man. She'd really like him to see her as his woman, though.
Sophie gets her wish to spend the night in his arms but in the morning, he makes it plain that he wants her as his assistant more than he wants her as a bedmate.. She gives him her 2 week notice. As luck -- or the lack of it-- would have it, KIng has an accident and is physically injured along losing his memory for the past month - and that night of passion that he shared with Sophie is gone from his mind. Sophie can't decide if this is a good thing or bad, but she does know she needs to help King recover before she makes good on that 2 weeks.
I love a dating the boss trope and this one was a goodie. Lots of sexual tension. Lots of hidden emotion. And a really good storyline.
Bravo, Nina Crespo! 5 stars from me.
Thank you to the NetGalley Gods for allowing me to view an arc of this book before it is released into the book reading world.

I went into this book thinking it was going to be funny. It was not a Rom Com. It had a really decent storyline though. Sophie is Nic's trusty assistant. She's good at her job. The King brothers can't really afford to lose her because she's a good asset to the company. I liked Sophie's character. She stood her ground and wasn't taking Nic's BS anymore. I didn't like that Nic was such a manwhore but I guess it takes the one person to change the direction of a playboys life. I enjoyed Aiden and Nic's relationship. I actually enjoyed the story but somewhat predictable. I did have an unanswered question though. Did they end up doing the deal, or why didn't they, because the father was involved? I guess if there is an Aiden book, it may get answered there, or did I overlook it?

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I DNF finish this one... for 2 main reasons. One, because he got amnesia RIGHT AFTER they had sex the night before and he ignored her the next day! And two, because, King was one of the most unlivable characters I have ever read. I mean, I literally hated him!!

This is my first Nina Crespo book so I didn't know exactly what to expect. It was surprisingly good. Interesting characters, hot steamy sex and great dialog. Not as funny as the blurb mentioned but a solid 4 stars.

While I throughly enjoyed this book...it was not a comedy at all. It’s much more of a contemporary romance not a romantic comedy. That being said, it was really good! I love a good office romance and this one didn’t disappoint.

I’d expected a romcom going into this, because a disgruntled assistant being forced to stay on in her job after a one-nighter with the boss gone wrong...sounded like a fantastic premise that promised lots of laughs. That alone made me want to know how Sophie got on with a difficult boss who'd conveniently forgotten he’d been an arse.

Unfortunately, ‘Forget You’ was the kind of read that worked me up into a fit and that mostly had to do with the main characters who not only needed to grow some sense, but conformed to the stereotypical H/hr in contemporary romance that I couldn’t go anything but shake my head at them at every turn.

I couldn’t warm up to King, who seemed like the usual arse of the rich businessman who thought that commitment wasn’t in his DNA as the perfect excuse for the way he lived his philandering life while becoming a clone of his womanising father, though scheduling another hookup straight after his one-night stand with Sophie made him a special breed of bastard.

There have been sufficient rants in my reviews throughout the years about numerous stock characters like King who take the easy way out, so lighting into King is probably a useless endeavour. Or perhaps my frustration has to do with the writing of characters that don’t go beyond this stereotype to explore the grey areas of people who have had bad examples of commitment in their childhood. Of course this colours King's entire life as he easily uses it as an excuse to stack women back to back without even evaluating why. In this same manner, Sophie joined the ranks of other numerous female protagonists who know exactly what they aren’t being offered, yet go in laughingly believing they could enjoy themselves and settle for what they can get. Of course, it never works out that way. Of course they can’t call this short-term fling as just sex anymore. And of course they end up getting hurt.

Apart from having expected too much of King and Sophie—my own big mistake—I think the other big issue was that I just couldn’t find any hilarity in this, unless I really missed something here.

Simply put, ‘Forget You’ started out and continued with angsty drama rather than the humour I was expecting. I wavered between feeling sorry for the delusional Sophie, who really thought that King would have given her more than he would, and rolling my eyes at her delusional state for seriously believing that she was going to be more than another notch on his bedpost, then behaving hurt and pissed when he didn’t. Her willingness to bend over backwards for him post-accident was nonetheless inexplicable; her listening to someone else to enjoy the ride (pun intended) on her own terms just made it seem sillier when she went against her own good sense to move on instead of playing with fire and getting burned.

The final grovelling scene didn’t match the crime as well—a few pages of mere words didn’t seem to fit what King had done to Sophie, untested as King was as a newly minted committed guy—and I had a hard time believing that this was a pairing that could go beyond a happy-for-now ending. That it had to take a bad accident and amnesia for King to change his outlook just felt like a last ditch effort in reforming an unrepentant womaniser which simply didn’t feel like an achievement to crow about.

I wished I could have liked this better, but seeing as how I finished the story having lost every bit of zen I had, it’s pretty obvious ‘Forget You’ isn’t my kind of read.

I enjoyed this read. King was not someone I liked very much in the beginning. I wasn't too keen on Sophie either. With all that she saw happen with King and his previous conquests, how did she think we was going to be any different? That being said, I liked King and Sophie's journey. They had a lot of chemistry as a couple, and I warmed up to Sophie when I saw all she did for King and his brother after King's accident. I would have liked more insight into why King suddenly decided that Sophie was someone he should pursue rather than "love them and leave them" as he did in the past. Surely a few weeks' memory loss doesn't change someone's personality and ingrained behaviors? Those few gripes aside, I did really like the read and would recommend it.

King is a man who doesn't take no for an answer, "King eased back until their lips hovered over hers. “You’re wrong. It may have happened once, but we’re not done.” King often times scolds his woman, “you think me talking down a hard-on and staying awake all night because of it is funny?” I liked this book, I liked King been n if he could be an arse at times.
