Sexy Suit Romance #2
Forgotten Father
When Delanie Carlyle wakes in the hospital after a car accident, she discovers she cannot remember the past month of her life…and to her dismay, she’s newly pregnant. With no husband or lover in her life, she must take care of her child alone and then an elderly friend dies and she must deal with the complications presented by a large, unexpected inheritance.
Eighteen months later, Mitchell Riese meets again the woman who has stolen half his inheritance. Delanie knew who Mitchell was when she fell into conversation with the dark, handsome tycoon at a cocktail party celebrating the re-opening of his grandfather’s historic resort. She has supervised the restoration of the massive turn-of-the-century hotel and, in the process, has earned the fond affection of the irascible, elderly Donovan Riese.
Mischievously, Delanie parries Mitchell’s attempts to learn her name. But somewhere between the casual conversation and the sparkling champagne, she falls instantaneously, head-over-heels in love with Donovan Riese’s sexy grandson. After a night of glorious passion, she wakes and slips away from his bed, still awash in the glow of finally having found her soul mate.
At breakfast later that morning, Delanie waits with teasing expectancy when Donovan introduces her to his grandson, Mitchell. When the man she thought was her hero viciously attacks her for supposedly taking advantage of his grandfather, Delanie runs away, only to crash her car in her distress and wake up...having forgotten with whom she made a baby.

Really awful. The premise is no worse than many farfetched plots I've seen in genre romance, but the execution is where it fails.
1) As another reviewer has mentioned, you cannot look across a crowded room and fall in love with someone. Feel sexual attraction, yes. Know anything about their personality or your compatibility with them, no. The plot doesn't really require Mitchell and Delanie to fall in love the first time they meet, only that they sleep together. Having the characters recognize purely physical attraction for what it is would make them seem more like adults, and not melodramatic teenagers.
2) It really makes no sense for a rich man to leave half of a valuable property to his interior decorator just because she's nice and good at her job. There are viable explanations (e.g. she's got some sort of personal connection to the property; he's trying to throw her and Mitchell together) but the book doesn't provide any.
3) Delanie is an idiot. At one point, Mitchell questions her about several large checks she received. She claims they're for legitimate expenses. If so, how about continue with "and I can show you receipts to prove it" instead of blathering nonsense like "please believe me.... you don't understand."
She gets into the accident that causes her amnesia because she's recklessly driving while she's crying and overwrought. She almost gets into an accident twice before she finally crashes the third time. Get off the road, woman!!
And why did she have to be at fault for the pipes bursting? Why couldn't it have just happened because the building was old and in disrepair?
4) Mitchell is a jerk. He's a jerk to Delanie personally, but what really makes him unlikeable is that he allows his personal dislike to affect their working relationship as well. Despite the fact that every employee at their resort treats her with warmth and respect, he dismisses all of her ideas out of hand. He treats everything she says with suspicion, including things completely unrelated to their personal or professional relationship, such as that her father died in a car accident when she was little.
He only comes around in the last few pages of the book when Delanie abruptly gives up her share of the resort (which is a bit extreme since their daughter is in fact a Riese descendant and she could have put her share in trust for Jenna) and refuses to use her child as a bargaining chip. Then he has a complete about-face and is prepared to marry her without a prenup. It would have been much more satisfying to see them build mutual trust and respect slowly.

This was... pretty bad. I was fairly intrigued by the idea so I figured what the hell. But yeah... it was really not done well. Firstly, I completely and totally do not believe in love at first sight. You can't truly love someone if you don't actually know them. That being said, instant attraction to a person is something different and I think the author and the heroine are both confused about this. Sex does not equal love, guys. Instantly feeling an attraction for a person and wanting them, also not love. I also don't buy into the whole "he looked into my eyes and saw my soul" kind of BS. I don't think it's romantic, just kind of delusional. The characters seriously grated on my nerves. While I understood Mitchell's reservations considering his background, I think he went waaaaaaaaay overboard. Seriously, dude. Calm down and think about it for half a second. I have a hard time believing that somebody can be THAT jaded. Also, Delanie needed to chill out with the whole being in love with Mitchell from the moment she saw him across the crowded room business as well. It came off as childish and unrealistic and the whole book was a bit too melodramatic for my liking, and not in the good way. Seriously, I like over the top, and dramatic, and ridiculous, but this just wasn't doing it for me. At all. I was going to give it one star, but added an extra because I did spend hours reading it and apparently didn't hate it so much that I couldn't finish it. It was also super cheap (under a dollar I think), so I felt more generous than if I had paid more for it.

Wow is all I can really say...I guess the complexity of the book and the hmmmm factor made me fall in love. The author kept me wanting to turn the page and find out what would happen next. Yes, there were parts that were predictable but the rest..was just interesting. I will be reading more of the authors books. I love the characters in the book and I also wish that I could read more about the Cedar's .. is there a long lost family member or someone who we can learn about. Can we see Jenna's story? I just absolutely loved this book!

This was an okay concept for a contemporary romance story but the delivery was only meh. Neither the hero nor the heroine really ever connected with me, and while this was a pleasant read (and a rather quick one), I can only give this three stars.
The book was either self-published or the editor/proofreader should be fired. There were punctuation mistakes, spelling mistakes, grammatical mistakes, and each one jarred me out of the story and made my inner beta growl.
Confusing you're and your is unacceptable in a published book. Not knowing that after a plural the verb must also be in the plural form is either lazy editing or sheer ignorance. And those are just a few examples.
Overall, the plot moves quickly, with a huge time jump of eighteen months about 1/3 in. The author and/or her editor is also not very good at math - there's a big difference between 18 months and two years. A 10 month old child was conceived no more than 20 months ago. That's still less than two years. This inconsistency also jarred me out of the flow and made me roll my eyes.
The conclusion is very romantic and might make you swoon but the changes in Mitchell's perspective come a little too sudden for my taste. And you can see the ending coming from about ten miles away. No surprises.
I also didn't care too much for the writing style. It felt throughout most of the book that the author was trying to tell me how the characters felt instead of showing me. Again, this is something that a good editor would have pointed out.
Not a bad read by any means, but not a great one either. Extra points for it being a free download.
Edited to add: The cover, while lovely to look at, doesn't seem to have any connection to the actual story.

Ok, so I started out giving this 3 stars only because since it was a free download I didn't feel cheated out of $4+ . If I had paid for this I probably would have asked for my money back. But as I started writing my review I realize that giving it 3 stars is giving it more credit than it deserves.
This could have been a good book. It was a good concept. But honestly it was 359 pages that could have been condensed in a couple of chapters. The characters were under developed and honestly not likeable. Who would actually take a woman who falls in to bed with a man within hours of meeting him. And of course God forbid things don't go her way and let's not forget that when things don't go her way get conviniently gets amnesia. Get your heart broken? Hey... get amnesia and forget it ever happened. She's supposed to be a grown woman who owns her own successful business but she's written to resemble a child in the middle of a temper tantrum... wah, I don't like what I heard so la la la, I can't hear you. It never happened.
As for our so called hero... he believes she's a golddigger who was conning his grandfather out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And everything points to the fact that this is indeed what she's doing. So after sleeping with her he completely forget this. He can't even conceive that the baby may be his grandfather's child not his (big ego much?). So he completely fogets getting answers to his many questions, the misunderstandings, prenups, dna tests, etc, and just proposes. If you believe any of this makes for a happy ending, I have a bridge I can sell you.

Forgotten Father has a great story line. Mitchell and Delainie spot each other across a crowded room and sparks fly. The next day, Mitchell discovers Delainie is his grandfathers mistress and decides she is after the family money. Mitchell bands her from the family resort and demands she stay away him and his family. More than upset, Delainie jumps in her car and ends up wrecking and losing her memory of 6 weeks (conviently surronding her time with Mitchell). 18 months later, Mitchell's grandfather dies leving Delainie half of the family resort. Mitchell readys for revenge and Delainie isn't even aware that she has meet Mitchell before let alone sleep with him then was accused of sleeping with his grandfather for his money.
You can see how this would be a very intriguing story and it was, I was very excited to see how things went down. The author has a habit of rambling across the pages and I got really bored with alot of parts. I also thought the story could have used a lttle more thrill to it but considering everything thats going on the story went extremely smooth (which I didn't care for). Also the ending was very 'blah.' It could have definitely used some spark.

I found most of this story infuriating. From the moment Delanie started spouting all this crap about falling in love at first sight I instantly regretted paying for this book.
I don't believe in love at first sight. Lust at first sight is completely different.
Also, Mitchell was a dickhead. And he was inconsistent.
The story may have been worth reading if it was written better and the characters had more depth to them rather than the shallow shells they seemed to be.
Also I feel the need to point out that a single mother wouldn't just jump straight into an engagement with a man she had only just started seeing the night before. No matter her feelings. I don't care how romantic people think it is; it's unrealistic.
I gave this story 2 1/2 stars because I was feeling generous.

This book was all over the place. I enjoyed the concept but was annoyed by both the main characters and the delivery. The "love" between the main characters was juvenile and unbelievable. The cover is sexy though, so I'll give it an extra star.

I felt zero connection to the story. The idea seems unique, but it wasn't built upon, like, at all. Every thing happened too fast. It was a short read. Some stories work at this length. This one, did not.

This way just okay for me. I’ve read better and I’ve read much worse.
November 26, 2011
This was a free eBook download. The story was an okay read for me. The story line is a good one but I think if could have been more developed, especially Mitchell Riese's character. We would have felt more attachment between Delanie and Mitchell. I know it was s short story but the ending was rushed.
When Delanie Carlyle wakes in the hospital after a car accident, she discovers she cannot remember the past month of her life…and to her dismay, she’s newly pregnant. With no husband or lover in her life, she must take care of her child alone and then an elderly friend dies and she must deal with the complications presented by a large, unexpected inheritance.
Eighteen months later, Mitchell Riese meets again the woman who has stolen half his inheritance. Delanie knew who Mitchell was when she fell into conversation with the dark, handsome tycoon at a cocktail party celebrating the re-opening of his grandfather’s historic resort. She has supervised the restoration of the massive turn-of-the-century hotel and, in the process, has earned the fond affection of the irascible, elderly Donovan Riese.
Mischievously, Delanie parries Mitchell’s attempts to learn her name.

I was close to giving this four stars. I liked the premise. Two people lock eyes across the room, instant attraction. They have a wonderful passion filled night in which of course the woman puts far more stock in than the man, and then the next morning when he learns her name he verbally accuses her of being a gold digger and throws her out causing her to get in a car and have an accident, where she gets amnesia forgetting everything from that morning to six weeks prior. Then waking up to find she is pregnant but can't remember the father.
I liked Delanie. She was smart, beautiful, and had a way with people. Charm and Charisma is what they call it. In a lot of ways, I wished I was like her. But I thought at the beginning she was a little too starry eyed. She looked across the room and instantly fell in love, and then once they had sex she fell even more in love, calling him her soulmate. It was just a bit much and a bit cheesy.
Mitchell I just wasn't a fan of. He placed far too much stock in money. He wasn't charming, or funny. I just never really got that much of a connection between them besides the physical.
But my biggest problem with this book was when she repeated the thoughts of the characters over and over again. She would go on a rant from the middle to the end of a chapter about how they couldn't understand something the other character did, and then she would start the next chapter having them restate the same thing they were mad about at the end of the last one.
I did like this book, but if any kind of repetition bothers you I wouldn't suggest this book.

"Be with me always," he said softly into her ear. "Help me celebrate every day. You're like the sunlight. Everything in my world is better when you're there." ~Mitchell
Delanie. She's a caring woman who wants nothing more than to find her true soulmate. She believes once she finds him, all will be well. Her life will be complete and all those things that seemed bothersome will no longer matter because he will be by her side. She believes she found that man, was 'in love' with him by the time he started walking towards her at a crowded party.
Mitchell. He's a bitter millionaire. Believes no woman can ever see past the money in his pocket, love does not exist, not for him at least. "Enjoy women. Use them as much as they use you. It was no different than a business transaction." His only living family was his grandfather, whom he believed Delanie was his mistress. "It was just reality. Money equaled power. Money meant sex. Money was always the bottom line."
But Delanie was the exact opposite to what Mitchell believed her to be.
I liked the idea of this book. It had a lot of potential. Unfortunately it kind of fell short for me, the ending was very anti-climatic. This could have been a "cheesy romance", which is fine, that's actually what I was wanting, but it seemed almost like the author just tried a little too hard for the drama and it just didn't work. Mitchell's sudden 180 was just not believable "Mitchell, the poor little rich boy who couldn't trust love. The money he protected so fiercely had robbed him of his heart."

I really miss epilogues...this story could have used one.
Delanie KNOWS that Mitchell is her other half...when she first meets him. They have a glorious night...and then he finds out who she is.
He thinks she's his GRANDFATHERS lover!
And he lambastes her...sending her off with a migraine headache...and in no condition to drive...oh, and VERY newly pregnant...
A small accident later...followed by a small case of amnesia...and 18 months later they come face to face again...but she doesn't KNOW him.
A lot of no trust on his side. Could she be FAKING it?
She feels the draw...but knows he hates her for taking half of his inheritance, an inheritance that she never asked for.
Pretty much your strait forward romance...and that's why we read these!
But I would have liked to have read just a bit more of their HEA...

I enjoyed reading this book, the way you could see the main chararcters falling in love, the ending was very sweet. I only gave it two starts though because I won't be reading it again and I felt that Lanie was too forgiving after he called her all those horrible things - plus the way she regained her memory didn't seem at all plausible to me. Its a good book to fill a few hours - maybe on a train/flight.

This is the first book I read by Carol Rose. I thought the main character Mitchell was too mean. I thought it wasn't enough communication between the 2 main characters. I also thought the story was more about what the main characters thoughts. Alot of their thoughts was repeated & that was annoying. I purchased this book when it was free but I don't think its worth reading free or 99 cents.
January 1, 2014
only reason some of the things I've been reading, like this, are on my kindle is because they were on the free list a year ago. if you took every cliché about romance and put it all in one story you have this one. steamy instant love? bitter dividing conflict? amnesia? prenups? wills? grand cheesy gestures? public proposals? yeah...no need to read it then.
June 30, 2013
It's nice in a the guy realizes he's a jerk and that he's in love with the girl and decides love is more important than money. But seriously she forgets an entire month of her life and therefore can't remember who the father of her child is. Worse is the whole I fell in love before I even met you. The book description on iBooks is totally misleading as to what you should expect from this book.

Didn't know what I was getting myself into. I almost put it down after the first chapter, but I hate not finishing books and it wasn't long. Now I wish I had. What a waste of space. Should have read the reviews...

I loved the story line. The whole concept of the book was good. However i think that the characters needed to be developed more. More information about their backgrounds would have helped the overall story.

The writing was fairly good, although it needed some editing. The story was easy to follow, and even kind of fun, but I HATED the heroine. From the first page, all I wanted to do was slap her. That impulse diminished a bit as I read, but it never completely went away.

2 1/2 stars. Not even sure why I finished it except that I have trouble not finishing a book once I've started it. It's not very well written and the story is dated. Seems like somithing that would have been written in the 80s.

I have to say that I actually liked this book. It was interesting to see how the characters represented themselves before and after Delanie's accident, those difference made the book interesting.
Cute read

I couldn't imagine losing my memory and not being able to remember what I really needed to. Especially if I had kids or a husband. I would like to think that no matter what I would still not forget my children. I just wouldn't like to put my family through something like that.

Memories
Sometimes we hold onto memories that shape our path negatively. When this happens, we miss out on so much joy. Getting past these “truths” as we see them keep us from happiness.

A delightful fun-filled freebie that satisfied my need for a quick, romance (with a bit of angst) for my afternoon break.
