Thank you NetGalley, Amazon Publishing and L.A. Casey for gifting me an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
I REALLY wanted to like this book, but the saying “less is more” applies here. The general idea... waking up with a new husband and last remembering being with your ex? Sign me up. The only problem was the ridiculous and unrealistic drama throughout the ENTIRE book. It was just over the top and predictable. This was one of those books that if I wasn’t expected to review, I would’ve put it down before I even got 50%.

3 1/2 Stars for this second chance romance!

When Noah wakes up in the hospital with no memory of the last five years of her life, she only wants to see Elliott ... her now ex-boyfriend. Her husband Anderson is crushed when the doctor asks him to leave because they don’t want anything upsetting Noah ... afraid she will lapse back into a coma. Noah will spend the next weeks of her life trying to remember the last five years. Elliott can’t believe that he is getting a second chance with Noah, but is afraid when she learns why they broke up she’ll go running back to Anderson.

Although I enjoyed the book, I didn’t find the secrets all that surprising. And I just didn’t get why Noah and Elliott broke up when they apparently loved each other so much. The book was okay ... I was just expecting more.

Forgetting You by L.A. Casey is a bittersweet amnesia story.

Life as Noah Ainsley knew it was shattered beyond recognition when a devastating car wreck that left her with a massive head injury and her short-term memory has been destroyed. By putting together pieces of her past, Noah learned that she broke up with the love of her life Elliot seven years ago and has been married to Anderson, a man now she doesn't even recognize.

This book started with heartwrenching moments to intense lovemaking that got me in deep emotional confusion. It went from different aspects to the other without a warning. Noah's confusion and heartbreak, when she realizes that she doesn't remember her recent life, were answered in flashbacks. Noah's rediscovery of old memories, and the way it went back in time, where we learned about the past.

Now, Noah needed to choose between the person she thought would be her forever and the one she loved the most from her past or her current husband of three years that she remembered nothing about.

I would recommend this book to those who loved The Vow.

This book was easy to get through and it held my interest, but also had a lot of room for improvement. The pacing felt way too unrealistic to me, the storyline was a little too insta love for my liking and the storyline felt choppy and had a lot of plot holes and left me with more questions.

Like, we gather pretty early on that the current husband is abusive and has isolated the MC and made her distance herself from friends and family over the years and really had broken her down. With such an intense possession/control over her, he wasn't really around throughout the story and I felt it lacked build up to the really intense climax of the story.

I also found it odd that Noah and Elliot were rekindling emotionally and even physically in the hospital while she was literally recovering from a serious brain injury. The intent was for it to be sexy, but it felt more awkward and a bit cringey to me.

Overall, it wasn't a bad read but it wasn't great. A lot was going on in a short amount of time and felt a little all over the place. However, it was action packed and still held my interest and the plot did really intrigue me. I also have a thing for amnesia related storylines so that helped me enjoy it more.


Thank you to Netgalley and publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

You never forget your first love. Noah has been in a severe car accident and had lost years of her life. She’s married but cannot remember him and wants her ex boyfriend who she still is in love with.

Elliot made a mistake years ago and lost the love of his life. Now she needs him more than ever but when her memories come back will she still want him around ?

I was scared going into this one because I was expecting a love triangle or the ex gets a get out of jail free card and the husband gets screwed.

That did not happen at all in this book and there are many twists and turns that occur you just won’t believe. It was good and I consumed it in one sitting. Enjoyed this one a lot!!!

I loved the idea of this book although with the introduction of Anderson you sort of knew what was going to happen. I loved Elliot and Noah together and even the bits with Noah and Anderson were intriguing but I thought there would be more snapshots of memories slowly building to the finale. I also though the reason for Elliot and Noahs breakup would have been more. I can't imagine after all that time someone flying off the handle and leaving for good over that, maybe an argument but that did seem a little too much. Overall though, I did enjoy the story

When Casey announced the release of this new book, I was ecstatic. I really love the author's way of writing and her stories.
After a disappointment and a slight revival of her last two novels that I read, Forgetting you returns to the abyss of disappointment.

I admit, the synopsis is something we have already had the opportunity to read, but knowing the author, I expected something shocking, passionate and engaging from the story.
So it wasn't... I'm sorry to say it, but boredom overwhelmed me.

The only positive note of the entire book? Elliot!

The story between Noah and Elliot is something sweet and nice.

The book as a whole is well written, flowing and devours itself in a few hours.
Don't expect a crazy story, but an okay story.

Bailey and Noah are in a deadly car accident. Although Noah survives, she remains in a coma for 15 days. This with 26 stitches to her head and countless other injuries.

Noah's parents come to visit - but where is her love, Elliot? (Actually she and Elliot broke up 5 years ago). Her mum painfully tells her this. Noah cannot believe that it is not 2015. Even more surprising is when Noah finds that she is married to a man named Anderson. Noah does not even recognize the man!

An interesting take on amnesia. Great plot reveal and characterization. Recommend.

Many Thanks to Amazon Publishing, UK and Netgalley for a very good read!

2.5 stars (rounded up because I LOVED ELLIOT!)

This is a new to me author and when I read the blurb I was intrigued. I've enjoyed other books that have tackled this concept, so I was looking forward to seeing how it was going to be played out this time around.

I loved Elliot. He was sweet and loyal and had an adorable Irish accent. From the beginning I could tell he had a good heart and the more I read the more convinced I became that he was put through the wringer unnecessarily. And even then, he continues to be an overall great person.

Which leads to Noah. I won't lie, I didn't like her. Don't get me wrong, I felt bad for what she went through after her accident, but as the story unfolded and I learned what had happened between her and Elliot my opinion of her changed, which ultimately had an impact on my enjoyment of the story as a whole.

All in all, a good love story with a wide range of emotions and a little intrigue to keep you engaged enough to see it through until the end.

Title: Full of emotion

Content:
This book is super emotional and made me cry and laugh and every turn. But there is a little too much drama in it. That made it annoying and kind of ruined it for me. It’s probably for you though. I like lighter, softer, funny romances. As soon as a book strays from my regular, (an exception to a couple of amazing books,) I usually don’t like it.

I wrote this voluntary review in exchange for an ARC copy.

Ok…I’m going to be honest here. I am a lover of all things L.A. Casey books but Forgetting You was okay.


Noah and Elliot were ridiculously sweet hahaha but the storyline was kind of over the top, kinda cliche and sort of predictable.
It wasn’t bad but it isn’t a book I would gush about with my friends.

Forgetting You is the lastest second chance romance from author L.A. Casey and it follows the story of Noah and Elliott. When Noah wakes up in a hospital room, she has no idea what happened to her or how she got there. Her brain seems to be stuck 5 years in the past. Noah is horrified to learn that Elliott is no longer hers and that she's married to someone else. Even though Noah is married to someone else, she can't deny the pull she feels towards Elliott. Elliott brings Noah calm in an otherwise chaotic world. Noah has a million questions and unfortunately no answers. When the truth finally comes out, Noah must decide which path is right for her....

Overall, I thought this book was an ok read. I feel in love with the cover and synopsis immediately. I loved the idea of the story and couldn't wait to dive in. Noah's story intrigued me and kept me coming back for more. What was she doing that night? Why was she with Elliott's sister? How did Elliott and Noah break up? And who the heck is Anderson??

However, there were quite a few things that just didn't add in this story for me. First of all, I wanted more of a connection and chemistry with Noah and Elliott. Yes, we saw some flashbacks of their past, but I needed more. I needed to see how Elliott was struggling without Noah; how he still held onto his feelings for her despite her being married to someone else. Speaking of being married to someone else, we didn't really get a lot of answers when it comes to Anderson. I feel like this story could have benefited from a chapter or two from Anderson's point of view just so the reader could get a feel for him and see his connection to Noah. One of the biggest issues I had was Noah pursuing her feelings for Elliott even though she was technically with Anderson. I understand that she went through major trauma, but it just didn't make sense. It frustrated me that Elliott went along with it and that is just a big no-no for me. I also felt like the story resolved itself far too quickly. All this build-up and climax and then the story was just over. 

I wanted to love this book so much, but in the end, it just left me feeling meh. I guess you could say I had quite the love-hate relationship with this book. I think this is a book that may work for some and leave others hanging. I do think this book had some good things going for it, it just wasn't a 100% hit for me. That being said, I'm still glad to have checked this book out.

*I was provided an ARC copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review*

I am a sucker for a good romance and was very excited to read this one. Overall it was a great story. There was certain parts of the story that I didn't like/agree with but I would definitely recommend this book.

I found this book a real let down. A great premise but with no real connection between the characters shown. A real shame

RATING: 2/5 STARS

L.A. Casey takes readers on an emotionally gripping roller-coaster ride from the perspectives of a victim of a car crash and her old Irish flame. 'Forgetting You' showcases the recovery both physically and mentally, and who she becomes along the way as she rediscovers her old memories. I've never read anything from L.A Casey in the past so I was eager to try this one out!

The nature of this sort of plot line itself is the type where the reader can find themselves captivated and immersed if they allow themselves to keep reading, although this is more biased towards me since I love a good mystery/heartache book. I loved learning about each of the characters but I feel as though the author spent more time describing details such as looks/outfits and what was currently happening, rather than focusing on building out each of the characters and their thoughts themselves. I think building out the characters and making Elliot's thoughts more distinct from Noah's would've made their characters come to life more. I think that's what made certain parts of the book drag on longer since the focus on describing what was happening was too big (since a lot of it wasn't necessary).

It also would've been more compelling to see additional emphasis on her rediscovery of old memories rather than amp it all up only at the end with only a small memory near the beginning. I also feel as though Casey built up so much suspense towards what caused the falling out between Elliot and Noah, but the actual reason was pretty anticlimactic. I think putting that discovery earlier on in the book so that Noah could have more time to sort through why that reason made her tick specifically and a more thorough thought process in Elliot's mind in regards to what made him change his mind and do a 180 would've been better.

Another suggestion would be to add some more personality to Anderson in order to make the plot twist more surprising. By focusing so much on Noah and Elliot for the majority of the book, it made it easy for me to guess what was going to happen in terms of the car accident and future events. The author gave too many hints from start.

I definitely wish there was less of a negative emphasis on weight gain and how that was viewed so negatively by the heroine every time it was brought up. While the mini lesson there had to do with body positivity, the comments Noah made to get there weren't positive and could've been worded better.

Nevertheless, I did have a good time reading this and since I have a soft spot for mysteries and romance, this book definitely cured that itch! If you want a light mystery and a book about second chances, then you should definitely pick this up! L.A Casey did a great job capturing

Thank you to NetGalley for providing the PDF to read!

I really enjoyed Forgetting You, the new standalone by L.A. Casey. This is the story of Noah Ainsley who awakens from a coma after being in a car accident. She learns that she has short term memory loss. Her memories are of her boyfriend Elliot McKenna – not her husband! The story alternates between the past and the present.

“I thought you’d be my forever person.”

There is so much I loved about this book! It is written with Irish and English dialect throughout. I thought the story flowed. There was a bit of mystery as to why Noah left Elliot and married another man. There was also mystery surrounding the car accident that caused her memory loss.

I found Noah to be honest, emotional and charming even though she was shy. Elliot is fun, driven and a bit dominate. He adores Noah and she him. Family and friends also play a significant role in their lives.

Forgetting You is a sweet and intriguing romance. A great September read! Take a break, sit outside and enjoy!

4.5 stars

Forgetting You hooked me from the start and I finished it in one evening. Elliott and Noah were great interesting characters who I cared about from the start. I figured out the plot right away but that didn't take away from the story. This was the first book I read by LA Casey but it won't be my last.

3.5 stars
I was always intrigued by the concept of amnesia and how one will continue the life they have just like a child learning all the small steps in life.
The story was interesting and , even if it felt like at a slower pace at times, it still made me want to keep reading so I can find out what really happened before the accident. By 70% in i already suspected the big twist that was yet to come and I wasn’t wrong.
It’s a story about life and decisions and mistakes and of course, a second chance at love and romance with a twist.
I personally couldn’t get over one thing that’s happening in the way everything comes together and that’s why the lower star rating.


Many thanks to the publisher Amazon Publishing UK for my review copy.

I started this one but struggled to get into the story and connect to the characters. This story line intrigued me, and I am always a sucker for these types of stories but this one just didn't do it for me. So sadly by the time I reached the 50% mark I decided to not continue and move on from this one

This book reminded me of a Lifetime Movie. Not that there is anything thing wrong with that... Its just that I pretty much figures out whay was going on half way through. I found the Irish talking a bit weird and that Noah was actually a girl. Some of the way the story played out seemed a bit strange but over all it was a alright romantic suspence. I would like to check out more from the author. Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to review this book
