Description
She loved him before, but can she love the stranger he's become?
He's back from the dead…
For five years, Lady Courtney Montague has treasured her grief like a sacred flame. Her beloved fiancé, Lucien Cavanaugh, Viscount Furoe, died a hero in Ireland—or so she believed. Then he walks back into her life as if summoned from her dreams, devastatingly handsome and heartbreakingly alive.
But the man who returns is a stranger wearing her beloved's face.
He can't remember her, but she can't forget him…
Lucien remembers nothing of his former life—not his family, not his title, and not the woman who still wears his ring on a chain around her neck. All he knows is that he's a widower with a two-year-old daughter, crushing debts, and a practical need for a wealthy wife. Logic says Lady Courtney is the perfect solution.
His heart says she's dangerous.
Some love stories deserve a second chapter…
Courtney refuses to marry a man who sees her as a convenient arrangement. She wants the impossible—to be loved again by the only man who ever owned her heart. But how do you make someone fall in love with you twice? And what happens when you discover the man he's become might be worth loving even more than the one you lost?

What a tangled web.........
We have amnesia, scandal, broken hearts, a precious little girl, questions, doubts, an evil man, night time rides across England, justice for innocent victims and a long awaited HEA.
We found Lucien, Viscount Furoe, lost heir to the Earl of Danvers, in a small village in Ireland, in the story of Lady Farah and Lord Rockwell. He has lost his memory due to a head injury when he was fighting in Ireland. His memory is gone, but his family's predicament has made it imperative that he marry a large dowry. Can you imagine thinking your life is one thing, only to discover it was not only a lie, but you were part of the ton in London? Can you imagine being introduced to your own family that have been grieving your death and not seeing even a glimmer of a memory of them?
Lady Courtney has loved, and mourned, Lucien and now he is back. He is no longer the Lucien she knows, but she is still drawn to him. How hard it must be to look at the man and outwardly he is the same, but inside he has changed and doesn't remember you, your time together, or the love you shated.
Together Lucien and Courtney work to start over, create a new understanding and appreciation for each other. It was nice seeing them work through all the thoughts, doubts, issues and hopefully come out the other end together. There is someone who doesn't want them to end up together and feels justified in doing virtually anything to keep them apart and come out with Courtney's money and position in society.
The other characters from the series play prominent roles in helping Lucien and Courtney along their journey. It is always lovely to visit with old friends. The side story of the investment wager is wonderful and I am anxious to see the women prevail and see the men at a loss.
This series has been wonderful and I am looking forward to the next story. I am looking forward to hopefully seeing two injured hearts coming together and finding a very deserved HEA.

This is the third book in The Season of secret series and I thought it was fantastic. This series is fun, entertaining and just downright delightful. The interaction between all of the characters in all of the books makes this series really fun and enjoyable to read.
In the previous two books we got a glimpse of Courtney and Lucien. In the first book we read about how Lucien died and Courtney was still grieving him after 5 years. Then in the next book we find out that he is alive but has amnesia and can only remember the last 5 years of his life in Ireland. He has no memory of his life both then or of his engagement to Courtney.
Now we get to read about Courtney and Lucien possibly reconnecting. Their story was both emotionally heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I really enjoyed that instead of trying to remember what they had before Lucien lost his memory, they both decided to move forward and create something new together again. Courtney accepted the new Lucien instead of trying to make him into what he was before. While Lucien learned that Courtney was someone he could trust after he had lost his trust in people. I thoroughly enjoyed their story and loved how they were able to move passed the past and create a new life together with a new love for each other.
I also enjoyed reading the epilogue about Courtney and Lucien’s wedding, but we also got a glimpse of what was coming in the next book of the series. I am now looking forward to reading the next book in the series!! I highly recommend this book and the entire series!!
Love lost, Love Regained. A tale about love that transcends time, distance and amnesia. Although they had to rediscover each other, their bond can only grow stronger..Not even the villain who would threaten them can come between them. Lovely read and can’t wait for the next book in series between Lady .ashley and the .Duke of Blackstone!

Lucien has been dead for five years but his fiancé Courtney has grieved mightily and tried to move on with her life.
But suddenly he returns with no memory of his former life and a four year old daughter.
Lucien tries to come to grips with reconciling his new life and adapting to his old aristocratic life with its demands and responsibilities.
Courtney tries to cope with her old feelings as they interact with some pain, some good memories.
The series is wonderfully written with strong female characters but this book is particularly endearing.
My heart genuinely hurt for both of them and all their trials.

I loved the story of Courtney and Lucien. I was waiting to see how their story would end when they were introduced in the previous book. Their love story was shown through memories of their time in the past as well as their new beginning. Courtney was a heroine who showed real emotions. You saw her hurt as well as her compassion and understanding. She was a well written character. Lucien was a perfect hero. He was well developed showing his anger and frustration while showing his struggles with love. The friend group was supportive and entertaining. While there serious issues in the novel, there was also humor. If you like stories with an original plot, a darling daughter, a hero with lost memories, secrets and lies, villains who get what they deserve, second chance love and romance, steamy encounters, and a HEA, this is the book for you. The epilogue even offers a peak into what is to come. I can’t wait to read the next book. It can get here soon enough. I’m so curious already.
I received an ARC of this book from Net Galley and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
