Kidnapped and left for dead, Melanie Harper never thought she’d see a friendly face again, until billionaire playboy Jack Carter showed up out of nowhere and saved her from a watery grave. As she desperately tries to uncover the secret of her past, she falls hard for her knight in shining armor.
Intrigued by the young woman who has no recollection of either her past or identity, Jack finds himself irresistibly drawn to her, and soon takes on a lot more responsibility than he ever bargained for. But will it be enough to keep her safe?
Nic has a background in political science and before being struck by the writing bug worked odd jobs around the world (including but not limited to massage therapist in Mexico, gardener in Italy, restaurant manager in India, and Berlitz teacher in Belgium).
When he’s not writing he enjoys curling up with a good (comic) book, watching British crime dramas, French comedies or Nancy Meyers movies, sampling pastry (apple cake!), pasta and chocolate (preferably the dark variety), twisting himself into a pretzel doing morning yoga, going for a run, and spoiling his big red tomcat Tommy.
He lives with his wife (and aforementioned cat) in a small village smack dab in the middle of absolutely nowhere and is probably writing his next ‘Mysteries of Max’ book right now.
Imagine the worst storyline you've ever seen from a soap opera. Got it?!? Picture it! Now, multiply that by about 1000, add a slice of Kardashian cheese, a dollop of cartoon, and sprinkle it all with powdered bullshit, and you might have a general idea about what to expect from reading this book.
Peanuts In Pealahatchie
The chick is dragged from the water by a billionaire stranger that loves Disney figures and Disney pajamas but is equally fiercely protective of her in her amnesia state of helplessness as the bad guys still pursue her.
^ Why, yes, I said he wears Disney Pjs... With ducks, folks!

Still...
I'll admit I'm curious. Wtf is she? Why do they want her? Why is Prince Charming in Disney pjs protecting her like he's known her all her life?
So, I keep reading through a lot of jibber jab, monologues, cartoonish bad guys, the same old, same old lust vs 'we shouldn't' angst, and insta-love in two days so that I can find out wtf this chick really is.
I mean, really, we have bad guy kidnappers here that dress up as housekeeping at the hotel Jack and amnesia girl are staying at, and the dimnits literally splinter the door and break it down as they're breaking in like a herd of elephants to kidnap her *again.* They do this with NO weapon, but are described later as "hardened criminals, as vicious and nasty as they came." Excuse me while I LMAO. Of course, Jack has a gun in the hotel and is able to "scare" these vicious, hard bastards away with it.... All while wearing Disney Pjs, mind you. Yeah, was I supposed to be laughing?!?
Anyhow...
After some instaLove, a bad guy with a sorta conscious, another round of cartoonish bad guy breaking in with no weapons, a private jet ride & limo ride, and sex scenes....
Finally, we get to the meat of the story and that's when the soap opera just takes a dive off the cartoonish cliff to the abyss of unFingbelievable bullshit. And I'm...
I'm not going to go into trying to explain the absurd connection between the savior billionaire and the amnesia princess, but the chances of this shit actually being in the realm of possibility are about as much as the chance of me being related to the Queen Of England and having Prince Harry save me from a swarm of bees in Antartica before we do the dirty atop a hunchback whale on cruise control to the Buckingham. Do decimal points 0.00000000000 ~ go that high?
Anyhow...
It all turns out to be for naught and they can all live happily ever after. Write yourself into a corner... Well, hell, just go back a couple of decades and change some DNA and history around to moot the whole fing thing.
Bottom Line
If you enjoy the convoluted, never ending, over the top drama of daytime soaps AND the frilly, everything is splendid, good guys always prevail and do the right thing feel of children's books, then you might like this book.
Gracie and Jack meet when he saves her life by fishing her out of a river. When she wakes up in a hospital she has no idea who she is or where she is from, the mystery is just beginning. The police are unable to shed any light on her identity, so Jack takes her to his home to recover. This story has mystery, charcters plotting revenge, and very hot sex. I loved this book!
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair review.
About a guy named Jack and girl who can't remember her name to save her life literally! Kidnappers attempted murders beatings and etc oh my. Throughout all this ans more these two come to love one another but sercrets at the end of the will try to tear them apart.... Will it succeed or will they get their happily ever after.
I was given this free for my honest review, wow this pulls at every emotion you have, a true knight in shining armour, a damsel in distress, wealth but past history heart break and twists in the story you will not believe, brilliant how it all enfolded, love these books
