Alex has gotten to close to the truth, and the head of the cartel has ordered her murder. When the car accident that was supposed to kill her, only causes her to lose her memory, she will have to find the truth before they can finish the job. While she is in the hospital recovering, she is presented with three men claiming to be her fiance. Stephen is a detective, Aaron is the CEO of the Carmichael Corporation, and Drake is a construction worker. Alex must discover which, if any, is her true partner while fighting to find the memories that are hidden within her injured brain. As she puts the puzzle pieces together, she finds that Drake is her true fiance, but she has lost the romantic feelings she had for him. Instead, her heart is leaning towards Stephen. Until she finds out, he has only been using her to get answers about the corporation where she worked. As her memory begins to return, she faces the realization that she worked for a corporation that is a front for a drug cartel from Mexico and that the accident that caused her memory loss was caused by her employer because she knew too much. She will spend this book sorting through her memories and falling in love.
From the very start this book had my full attention! Alex has memory loss due to a car accident that was probably meant to kill her. What does she know that someone wants her dead? The FBI is seeking links between the Carmichael organisation and the Mexican drug cartel and takes her into protective custody, hoping she can provide vital evidence. FBI agent Stephen initially pretends to be Alex’s fiancé, but falls in love with her. Her memories come back tantalisingly slowly, and she struggles with who she is and the truth, whilst the FBI tussles with “baddies” to keep Alex safe. Full of action, drama, some steamy romance, plot twists and turns, and a hanging ending...
It really is a good story. Losing her memory; falling in love with FBI agent trying to protect her; memories, nightmares felt genuine, organic. I did not like the sexual fantasies...I actually skipped over them, I think because it wasn't based on any real experiences. I did not like the dialogue between any of the characters; too stiff and formal, everything was explained in conversations. Last, I hate it when characters hide information when it is so obvious it should be shared. The story has great potential.
