Accidental Amnesia is such a great addition to the Saving Kelby Creek series, and I loved Mel and Sterling’s story. They are layered and dynamic protagonists with interesting backstories, and I liked how their story fit into the overarching plotline of the series. They have a lovely second-chance romance, and their chemistry is fantastic!
Mel goes through so much throughout the story. Car accidents, amnesia, false accusations, kidnappings, and more plague Mel as she tries to uncover the truth. She’s an intriguing character, and she is a survivor. Ignorant of the horrific crimes her husband committed, Mel is vilified in the community, and she feels tremendous guilt for being blind to what was right under her nose. Though years have passed, Mel is still tormented by what happened, and when her past comes back to haunt her, it seems as if she’ll never be able to move on. It’s clear someone is targeting her, and her life is in constant danger. Her story is intense and suspenseful, and it seems like the odds are stacked against her.
Sterling is everything I love in a romance hero. Smart, protective, brave, and determined, Sterling does everything he can to help Mel. Mel and Sterling have a history that began when they were kids. These friends-turned-lovers had an abrupt end to their relationship when Mel left town with little explanation. To move forward, they must first clear up things that happened in the past, but there’s a lot at stake, and Mel fears what could happen if the truth is uncovered. I really enjoyed how their relationship progressed and grew. And the way Sterling fights for Mel and never doubts her innocence – so swoon-worthy!.
Saving Kelby Creek is a great series, and Accidental Amnesia is no exception. A layered and intriguing read full of unexpected twists and turns, the story is exciting and suspenseful, and there are several revelations that make me eager to read the next book in the series. Kelby Creek is still suffering the aftereffects of the rampant corruption discovered in high ranking members of the community and police force, also known as “The Flood,” and it seems like the more they uncover, the more there is to learn about the kidnappings, murders, and drug ties that seem to curse the town.

Terrific second chance romance. The small town of Kelby Creek still suffers from the aftereffects of The Flood - the revelation of the rampant corruption in their law enforcement and local government. Five years have passed, but the memories are long. Mel and Sterling were no exception.
Mel still feels a lot of guilt over the discovery of her ex-husband's part in the scandal. She knew nothing of his horrific crimes until after the fact, but the town's people didn't believe it. After divorcing her husband, she tried to move on with the help of childhood friends Sam and Sterling Costner. She and Sterling became more than friends until the day she left Kelby Creek without a word of explanation.
Sterling has his own guilt to deal with. After the investigations were done and he was cleared of wrong-doing, he left Kelby Creek. Desperate to escape the memories and unable to find work in law enforcement, he spent a couple of years doing construction before going back to police work. After some time doing so in Georgia, he heard about the revitalization of Kelby Creek's department and went back to help. He feels guilty about abandoning his hometown and is now determined to help its rehabilitation.
Mel never planned to return to Kelby Creek, much less in the back of an ambulance with no memory of how she got there. Nor did she expect Sterling to be one of the first people she saw. It quickly became evident that their attraction was as strong as ever, though each tried to ignore it. But when strange things began happening to Mel, Sterling's protective instincts kicked in. As they spend time together trying to figure out what is going on, their feelings continue to grow. But they can't move on until they address the past, and Mel fears what will happen if she tells the truth. Things look increasingly bad for Mel, but Sterling never stops believing in her innocence. I loved the ending as they fought for each other and came out with their love even stronger.
The suspense of the story kept me hooked from beginning to end. From the car accident to the dead body in her house to kidnappings, it becomes increasingly apparent that someone has it in for Mel. The question is who and why. I ached for Mel and the suspicion she faced and the accusations she endured. By the time the final confrontation came, I was glued to the pages waiting for the explanation. The plan's twists, turns, and utter evil took my breath away when the bad guy bragged about what he'd done. I loved that his arrogance was part of what brought him down. The resolution was a nail-biter as Mel fought to save those she loved against terrible odds.

This was an excellent book with a second chance romance, mixed with the mystery of why Mel came back to the small town of Kelby creek. She wakes up in an ambulance with more questions than answers. As time goes by, she realizes she is a target, but why? When she left town five years ago, she never planned on coming back. She broke Sterling’s heart with the way she left. One thing about Sterling is his commitment to working law enforcement in Kerby creek, and doing the right thing. When he finds out Mel is in danger, he steps up to protect her. Together they start trying to solve the mystery of why she came back, and find out who is trying to hurt her. The action parts were intense. This was a book worth reading.
