I received this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

I had a hard time getting into this book. It kept going from first person(Jenna) and 3rd person(Max). That became a bit confusing. It got easier as the I continued in the book. Once the 2 of them were alone, Jenna's memory started to return in pieces
There was a HEA, but it took some time to work through all the twists in the plot

I tried with this one, I really did. But it just wasn't for me. It didn't start well when the beginning of the book didn't make a lot of sense. The female lead has lost her memory and is marrying a man that she can't remember in a Church. I'm fairly confident that if one of the people who was getting married had lost their memory then it wouldn't be allowed to take place. Added to that she's only been out of a coma for five weeks, then there wasn't time for the banns to be read and the whole thing organised. I don't want to give away spoilers, but the whole way that her stepbrother and stepsister in law treat her just seems to over the top and to be honest pointless and it's never really explained. As to why she feels compelled to marry someone just because she's pregnant, no idea what that was about. Much of the book felt as though it should have been set in the 1950s or possibly earlier, but as at one point she uses the internet, that wasn't the case.
I will forgive a lot in a book if I like the characters and buy into their romance. In this case, I didn't take to either of them. In fact, at more than one point I was wondering if Max was going to be revealed as the villain after all. I didn't feel that there was any chemistry between them at all and they seem to go from Jenna not remembering Max at all, to being madly in love with him.
I realise that this is quite a harsh review and to be honest, other people might enjoy the story more. It just didn't do it for me.

I only made it a few chapters into this book. The blurb really intrigued me but the book did not live up to the hype. The dialogue felt very stilted and the plot moved very slowly.

3 stars
The plot line was unique. I will give the author that. The book, for me, dragged a little. I found myself skipping pages to see how it was going to end. i took a long time to get there.

It's okay.
When I first started it I felt I had missed the beginning.
It starts with a man stopping the wedding then due to the heroine's amnesia, events beforehand regarding her 'accident' and the Hero and heroine relation ship are revealed to the reader as the heroine learns them or remembers them.
There is some mystery, you are unsure of motives.
I was a bit bored.
Their relation ship was a bit on/off through out the years.
HEA.
