Amnesia is a tired line in romance, but this book does a good job with the premise. It is not simply a matter of discovering a lost identity, but of discovering that the heroine's lost identity is pretty evil.

I would have liked to see more gradual development of the relationship between hero/heroine; I felt Dalton glossed over the forgiveness that must take place. However, I read this many years ago, and of the binge of romance books that I went on, this is one of very few that I remember. Which says something.

I've read this book several times. The heroine has been injured and has amnesia. Her husband takes her home to heal and it doesn't take her long to realize that he despises her. As she begins to learn about herself she learns that she was not a very nice person. This is not always an easy book to read as we find out this stuff as the heroine does and you're about as appalled as she is. The tension is pretty high and you'll be racing to the end. Don't read the other review here about this book as it has a very big spoiler in it!

Much prefer the movie to the book

It made for interesting reading at first but then it just got too far-fetched and way over-the-top!

Would you want to stay married to someone who hired a guy to kill you, no matter what their mental state was? I DON'T THINK SO! Yet this dumbass H does! I'm sorry the h had such a crappy childhood/adolescence, but that's no excuse for the stuff she did and the part where she dresses in her husband's clothes so the guy will shoot her instead was just so bat-crap ridiculous I'm convinced the author was drinking (or smoking) something really strong when she wrote that! Unless she was in a "fugue state", like the one she uses to excuse the h's bad behavior.

As for the H, talk about a beta simp! Any guy who put up with the way the h treated him deserved to be stuck with her for life, and I'm hoping the kid turns out to be a girl just like Mommy in every way!

La relation entre Bonnie et Lisa est de ces relations où l’on lance une pièce à leur commencement: soit les deux femmes se guérissent mutuellement soit elles s’entraînent dans l’abîme. Et on est passé à une coïncidence près d’une fin tragique.
Un roman humainement poignant et saisissant.

Oh my. One star (instead of zero) because this book made me laugh out loud twice.

Other than that, damn. This book is so wrong on so many levels I'd have to write an article to discuss it all.

I'm just glad I now have one unread book less on my physical tbr lol
