Another 5/5 in this series and all I can say is wow. For this book: It was my first memory loss book. I didn’t really know what to expect but this book has set my expectations high. I loved how he didn’t “know” who Kate was but felt his body and mind...

Perfection. No other words to describe this book. One of the very few books where the accidental pregnancy trope WORKS and adds to the book rather than feels inconvenient. Barret Conway. The man you are. Bear and Mini Bear? COME ON.

this book is quite possibly one of my top reads of all time. Tyler and Delphine’s story was heartbreaking, healing, traumatizing and heartwarming all at the same time. If I could write a perfect MMC and a FMC for a romance book, it would be the chara...
