This was definitely not the amnesia plot that I expected, but I did enjoy this sweet, second chance romance.

No. Just NO! This is NOT a romance for me when you have a douchebag hero sleeping with OW. First we learn that he was seen with a blonde 2 yrs after they divorced and then when heroine looses her memory and moves in with him, he has a date with OW whom he had brought home the day/week prior and slept with her AND was planning to bring her home again after heroine came back into the picture and asked to live with him? No. Just NO!!!

Then we have this lovely thought from the asshole - “there was no possibility of a future for them, together, anymore” and “He didn't want to fix it”. So what’s the point? Why is this a romance?

I agree with another reviewer that in the old days romances had substance and heart. These days however I don’t know who they are writing for when you have lines like this that kill the story.

Ali is returning to Valentines bay when she wrecks her car and loses 7 years of memory. Growing up her plans to move to New York City were top priority and when her husband refused she left. Both were young and uncompromising. Now she’s back and doesn’t remember the divorce. Connor wonders if this would be a good time to reconsider and move to NY as she recovers. A good romance and is book 5 in the Valentines bay series. I received a copy of this arc in exchange for a fair and honest review.

A Husband She Couldn’t Forget
The Bravos of Valentine Bay
Christine Rimmer


Christine Rimmer’s latest, number 6 in her Bravo of Valentine Bay series, The Husband She Couldn’t Forget is fantastic a second chance romance that shows that two people can make it right the second time around and readers will love seeing her couple rebuild their relationship. In this heartwarming story Alyssa is an endearing character, close to her family especially her mom, while Conner is all man, bluff, ego and pride so even though readers will empathize with him it’s still nice to see him brought to his knees by love. There’s an unforgettable cast of costars who add so much to the tale some beautiful settings and a solid plot making this a wonderful can’t put it down tale. The standouts are definitely Alyssa and Conner and the realistic Santangelo family dynamics.

Alyssa Santangelo was her way home to the Pacific Northwest to help care for her mom who at forty-eight is on bed rest due to late-in-life high-risk pregnancy when she’s involved in a terrible automobile accident. When she wakes up she doesn’t remember lamenting the fact that she’ll have to see her ex again after all the years they've been apart, in fact when she wakes up she doesn’t remember the last seven years. That’s how long her family tells her that she’s been divorced. She’s convinced they’re lying until her (ex) husband shows up and confirms it. If she could remember it maybe then she’d believe it because just seeing him tells her how much she loves him and if she can believe the look in his eyes he loves her too.

Conner Bravo can’t believe that his ex-wife is back in Valentine Bay suffering from amnesia demanding to see him thinking they’re still married. Is this a sign to make right the wrongs he did to her seven years ago when he lied to her and walked away from her and their life together like it didn’t matter. He’ll take the second chance even if he doesn’t deserve it.

Christine writes a wonderful about second chances and the love that can withstand hardships. Thank you for allowing me to read such a inspiring book.

Aly has amnesia after a car accident. She believes she is still married to her husband, Connor. But even when she is told the truth, Aly decides she wants a second chance.
I enjoyed this read about second chance at love. Sometimes we let so many things keep us from the person we were meant to be with. Aly and Connor journey back to each other was heartwarming.
Thank you #Netgalley

Aly was on the way home to help her pregnant mother ends up in a car accident. She now has no memory of the last few years, her divorce, her life in New York. Conner is around to convince her they are separated but clearly the heat is still there. As Aly waits for her memory to come back she and Conner decide they are going to see whats between then until she has to go.

I love a good second chance book and this one was cute. I've read plenty of amnesia stories and was curious to see how this author would twist and make it her own unique version. I liked seeing how this book played out, seeing that romance that never left get stronger with each page and problem that came their way. Overall this was a pretty good book I enjoyed it.

A Husband She Couldn’t Forget by Christine Rimmer is a second chance romance with a twist. After a traumatic car accident, Aly has a case of amnesia and forgets that she has been divorced from Connor for years. As the main characters navigate these complications, the reader will enjoy their journey of self discovery, love, and forgiveness.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed reading this , and I recommend it to everyone.
