I've been reading and recommending Lynette Eason's books for a lot of years. Her romantic suspense is always spot-on, with enough nail-biting tenseness, offset by a (usually) slow-burn romance, with a hefty dose of faith thrown in. Her female characters are always strong, smart, and very capable of "taking care of themselves" even when doing so is pretty ill-advised. I've often wanted to shout at the books, "What happened to 'waiting for backup???""

Holiday Amnesia starts with a bang - literally - when Robin Hardy's university lab blows up. She barely escapes with her life, but she doesn't escape with her memories. As killers track her down, can fellow professor Toby Potter keep her safe?

Toby Potter quit his job with the CIA and walked away from the undercover life. Working as a professor at the same university as Robin, he befriends her at the request of his former boss, Ben. There is a bio-weapon being auctioned, and the FBI needs to know if Robin is involved. When the lab blows up, taking Robin's memory with it, Toby knows she's in danger. When his boss is killed, Toby and Robin are left hanging with no one to trust. Can they stay steps ahead of the killers until Robin regains her memory of who is behind everything?

I will say that I had this one figured out almost the first time the "bad guy" stepped on the scene, but it was still an exciting read. This is book 7 of Ms. Eason's Wrangler's Corners series, and many of the characters from earlier books make an appearance, and a huge difference in the outcome, in this story.

I will always recommend any book written by Lynette Eason. Her books are consistently well done, even those in the shorter LIS line.

A great seventh installment in the Wrangler's Corner series. I was so excited to get Toby's story! This wasn't one of my very favorite books by Lynette Eason, but I still really enjoyed it!

As I've learned to expect, a wonderfully written and fun read. Eason writes suspenseful but believable stories with flawed but truly good heroes and heroines

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK 

Another wow book from Lynette Eason. And don’t let Love Inspired stop you from reading this. Sadly I’ve heard people that don’t read LI and they sure don’t know what they are missing! This is on of the best from Ms. Eason! I stayed most of the night reading Holiday Amnesia because I didn’t want to put it down until it was finished.

Robin Hardy survived a shooting and an explosion at the University lab she was working. But when the FBI guy working in the case involving her got to her, he heard a hit for her life, and to make things worse, she couldn’t remember the last 6 months of her life. Who wanted Robin dead and why?

This is such an amazing story full of thrills and lots of emotions of all kinds. Since Robin couldn’t remember, she wasn’t sure she could trust Toby, but she had no choice. Someone wanted he off the planet, and she had no where to go, no means of supporting herself. But everywhere they went to hideout, someone attacks, is it an inside job? Are there dirty law enforcements inside hunting Robin down?

One thing for sure, this story takes readers on a chase they will long remember. At some point I get impatient and think, why don’t you just get this person any way you can? I mean can’t they shoot their tires out or shoot them to hurt not kill when they are chasing on foot? But then I realize there wouldn’t be any fun reading a book that’s half the pages, and no fun in reading all of the chases and different ways the evil people work. So I realize I don’t know it all! And I love all it all!!

Another thing I love about Ms. Easons Books is the way she weaves the Christian life in the lives of her characters. I don’t always mention this, but it’s why I love Christian fiction so much! And an author that can do this and not sound preachy is a professional that does her job well!

This is a really good Christmas fiction to read! I highly recommend Holiday Amnesia! I received this book from Love Inspired Suspense and Nergalley to read and review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal  Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 55.

This was a charming little story. I suspect the bad guy before the end of the story though I did not know the circumstances behind it.

FTC Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley, but I also purchased a copy (and the purchased copy is the one I read). These are my honest thoughts.

This is my favorite Wrangler's Corner book. Oh, I've enjoyed all the previous ones, sure. But this one just went to the next level of awesome. A couple of good red herrings, and juicy plot with amnesia mixed in, and delightful leads that I could root for all day (if I had a voice left from this ridiculous sinus infection I've currently got). I wish this series would continue forever, because each book is better than the previous one, which means it's a series that builds beautifully with each fresh installment. Just the sort of series I adore following! Bring on the next one, Mrs. Eason. I'm ready!

Sorry I hadn't time to read this one before it was archived. I'm in college and have a big workload this year.

Holiday Amnesia by Lynette Eason is a great read. I always love to see people finding faith again in Christian Romance and the suspense side of this book makes it even more enjoyable. I loved Robin and Toby. I have never had amnesia but I couldn't imagine how it would feel to not know the person I am hanging out with and being protected by. I also couldn't imagine running for my life with no clue as to why.

Always enjoy Lynette’s books. Keeps me guessing till the last page. Thank you for an enjoyable book.

I am a sucker for characters losing their memory in books and in movies. And when I saw Holiday Amnesia, my interest was piqued.

I liked Robin from the beginning. She has a strong determination to figure out why she is in danger. She’s also understandably frustrated that she can’t remember anything leading up to the explosion. Robin knows she and Toby share a history; she just isn’t sure what it entails. Realizing that she needs help, Robin accepts Toby’s offer to get her to safety while she attempts to recover her memories. Is that the right thing for her to do? And why does it feel like Toby is hiding something?

Toby is a professor at the same university that Robin works at. He happens to find her after the lab explosion. He gets her to safety and vows to protect her at all costs. Right before the explosion, he and Robin were at odds. Knowing that Robin may push him away again if she learns the truth, Toby is afraid to tell Robin all he knows. That may prove to be a costly mistake…

Holiday Amnesia was a quick and entertaining read. Even though this is a romantic suspense story, the romance was not front and center. Ultimately I found I enjoyed the mystery portion of the book more than the romance between Robin and Toby. But the story did hold my interest and the twist in the story was one I did not guess right away. This was book seven in The Wrangler’s Corner series. I hadn’t read the other books previous to this, but I didn’t feel lost starting with this book. I would recommend Holiday Amnesia to readers who enjoy quick stories full of suspense, action, and light romance.

RATING: 3 out of 5.

It's a delight to spend more time in Wrangler's Corner! The book is the seventh installment and I'm hoping it runs to at least a ten-book series! Emily is a scientist new to the Nashville area and Toby (brother to Zoe from earlier in the series) is ex-CIA and now working as a college professor. With a weaponized virus in the question and Robin as a witness to the exchange, she's on the run for her life, and somehow the bad guys keep catching up with her and shooting at her. But thanks to a head injury, she can't recall the identity of the buyer of the virus.

Toby's got a big job. Keeping Robin safe from her pursuers is no easy task, and they can't even stop to think without the killers catching up to them. They take refuge in Wrangler's Corner and Clay, Lance, and the rest are ready to help someone else stay alive. It was great to see how folks didn't stop to count the cost of their own lives when it came to protecting someone else.

The suspense is forefront, leaving the romance to the side a bit, which is exactly how I like it—just enough shown that we believe they would make a good couple. The bad guys almost surprised me—I had it narrowed down to three possibilities and, sure enough, it was one of the three. In all, a very good suspense and enjoyable read.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free reading copy. A favorable review was not required.

Holiday Amnesia was an enjoyable one time read. I liked the amnesia aspect (surprise, surprise. lol) and the characters were nice. I was happy that this story didn't have her regain her memory right away and instead she gradually remembered things. It felt more realistic that way.

The beginning few chapters were intense and pulled me right into the story; however, as I continued reading, I found myself getting bored with the book and so I didn't mind when it was over. The ending was cute and wrapped things up nicely.

All in all, I liked Holiday Amnesia.

This is another excellent, fast-paced Christian suspense thriller by Lynette Eason. I’m not going to try to summarize the plot in this review, because I don’t want to give away any of the many exciting twists and turns in this story line. Robin, because of her amnesia, is not sure who to trust or turn to for help. Toby loves Robin and is doing all he can to protect her, hoping that when she recovers her memory, she will forgive him for seeming to betray her. Not everything is as it seems in this story, and that causes the tension to build all the way to the end of the book. This is a clean, well-written book, and I loved every minute I spend reading this story. Although the title indicates that this is a holiday story, you could read this one any time of the year and enjoy it.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Robin is trying to get over a betrayal of a friend by distracting herself in her work in the lab when she over hears something she wasn't supposed to. Then she finds herself running for a her life and ends up getting knocked out. When she recovers there seems to be a gap in her memory and she is fleeing with Toby Potter when a few attempts is made on her life. Things get exposed slowly but surely as her memory returns.

You know what I was going to say that this book was pretty predictable but on second thought this book managed to surprise me. I loved that there was so much going on. There was plenty attempts on her life then there was the curiosity if there was really something going on in the inside where maybe a fellow cop might be behind things that were going on. I loved that even thought there was a bit of a romance between the two there wasn't much of it to overpower the book. Also just going to put this out there the title of the book it kinda misleading. I thought that this book was going to have some holiday themes thrown into it, some suggestion that it is during the holiday and there wasn't so that title was a bit misleading to me. But putting that aside this book was pretty great I really enjoyed it.

This is book seven in the Wrangler's Corner series, however, I believe it is a stand alone book. I have read some, but not all the books in this series and had no trouble understanding what was going on. I do feel like I missed some good books and history of a lot of the sub characters in this book though.

This book is full of suspense, mystery, romance and more. If you like FBI and Police type novels, full of family, twist and turns, mystery and suspense you will love this book.

I had a love/hate reaction to this book. On the one hand, I am an addict for romantic suspense! On the other, I am also a huge holiday romance nut! This book is marketed as both a holiday romance and a suspense romance. There was no lack of action, adventure and suspense in this book, and it was hard to put down my Kindle! On the other hand though, I din't really feel it was a holiday romance. Yes, the book took place over the holidays, but there wasn't that real connection to the holiday, the nostalgia and family connections you tend to have in a holiday romance. There wasn't a sense of magic, literal or figurative. I've read so many holiday romances, it was refreshing that this was a bit different, but I feel it shouldn't be marketed as holiday romance.
That aside, the book was really enjoyable, and super intense! I may re-read this book next spring, just to see if my feelings towards the book change. I really liked the story, I was just expecting something different than I got.
If I were able to give this book a split rating, I would rate the romantic suspense a 5 star rating, and the holiday romance a 2.

Dr. Robin Hardy is a part-time professor and research scientist, she was working late one night at the lab, when she overhears an argument that turns deadly. Robin manages to escape the explosion, but she can't remember anything.



Toby Potter is there outside the explosion, and whisks Robin away to safety. He is a former CIA agent, and he and Robin had been close before she found out what he was up to, now all he wants to do is keep her safe. He takes her to Wrangler's Corner, and gets some help from local law enforcement to keep her safe.



Robin can't remember the reason why someone is threatening her life, will they be able to unravel the mystery before it's too late?



Robin slowly begins to regain her memory, and she holds tight to her faith throughout. She's clever and determined, facing her failing memory bravely.



Toby is a man of integrity, and I like how he doesn't act on his feelings for Robin while she still doesn't remember everything.



Overall, a fast paced read, with great relationship growth, and dialog. I loved returning to Wrangler's Corner, and I loved how Toby and Robin both are quick thinkers, and use their heads to get them out of tough situations. Action-packed ending, highly enjoyable and suspenseful read!

Non-stop, vehement, and fierce action, constant danger, and deadly consequences kept me on the edge throughout the story. The web of mystery is a muddled mess, the clues are few and far in-between, the law enforcement is scraping their resources to keep Robin alive, to let her heal so her memory would return, and then to bring some light into the chaotic, lethal case in their hands.
The story is hard to put down once you start it, the clueless atmosphere, the deadly peril, the tension between Robin and Toby, are all aspects that kept my interest high.
Even though the story has the main focus on the intense suspense, the growing romance between Robin and Toby was believable, because of their previous status as close friends. Even though there was tension caused by the revealed secrets and lies, it was palpable how much they cared for each other, despite the fact that Robin could not remember him or their friendship prior to the explosion. The struggle and growth they both go through, the guilt from the past, the forgiveness, and redemption is as evident as their growing attraction and need to protect each other.
The explosive crescendo towards the end, the reveal of the bad guys, and their motives hits hard, fast, and deep bringing some surprises despite the hints given throughout the tale.
I enjoyed this fastpaced story and the ferocious action and suspense. It is entertaining and engrossing, it is sweet and touching, and it's edgy. The characters from the previous stories in the series are present in many of the scenes, and at times I felt a bit overwhelmed with the number of people marching through the pages while the hunt for the culprits was at its most intense.
If you love stories that deliver heart-stoppingly thrilling suspense and clean, sweet romance, where a family is at the center of the tale, and faith in God is assumed notion, if not much talked about, you are going to enjoy the Holiday Amnesia, as well as the other intensely entertaining books of the Wrangler's Corner series.
~ Four Spoons

I love a book that I can read in one sitting, and this one was one that sure made me page turn and want to find out the answers.
The author had me stumped, why would someone want a lab tech dead, yes, she does witness a couple of murders, but there is a lot more going on here.
There is a bit of sweet romance, but mostly people are trying to stay alive.
One problem I had was the title, Christmas only comes in the epilogue, but I was kept on my toes, and really surprised at who the culprit was, yes, I was blind-sided, and really didn’t figure this one out until the end.
If you like a book with almost nonstop action you don’t want to miss this one!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.

This is a fantastic page turner that had me enthralled from the explosive start to the very end. Robin Hardy is a scientist who witnesses a colleague at her University being murdered. She runs but an explosion as she does so results in her forgetting everything that has happened in the last six months - which includes starting work at the University. She's unsure just who she should trust but agrees to go with another professor, Toby Potter, when he tries to shelter her from those still seeking to kill her. . . . They have a history but she can't remember just what, but she feels safe with him most of the time. As they go on the run to escape those trying to silence her this is an action packed story, full of suspense, snipers, double crossing, secrets and Robin's slowly returning memory. Will Toby manage to keep her safe until she can identify the murderers and reveal just what she witness? Will she remember why she was so angry with Toby - and if she does, will she still trust him to keep her safe?

It is part of a series but works well as a standalone. It has well developed characters, is a riveting read with a well thought out plot that is full of twists and turns to keep you guessing and turning the pages. Toby is conflicted in just what he should reveal to Robin because he is worried about how she'll respond to the knowledge. The attraction between them is always there but so is their reticence to act upon it - he knows why but she's forgotten. Although it is set around the festive season, Christmas doesn't play a major role in the story until the end so it can easily be read at any time of year. As physical danger lurks around every corner, this is a lovely suspense filled read that I have no hesitation in highly recommending.

I requested and was given a copy of this book, via NetGalley. This is my honest review of the book after choosing to read it.
