An older Logan, of course, but unmistakably the man who had ravaged her emotions and then abandoned her all those years ago.

She ought to feel angry. Rhys took a step toward her, his eyes searching. I know you're not indifferent. So what else is there between us? I'm letting you go because I have no intention of losing my self-respect over a little cheat like you. Suzanne's decision to visit Villa Falcone was an impulse.

Of course, the said amnesia provides the perfect opportunity for the husband to try and salvage the marriage which didn't start out amicably. The malicious OW makes an appearance here as in most of Bianchin's other books and there's the customary description of clothes and food and other mundane everyday tasks; when the author could have instead focused on the chemistry between the protagonists.

Overall though, I didn't find the story too bad and the writing mostly made up for all the plot deficiencies. It was light and sensual; hence the three stars. But would I read it again? Dec 30, Tia rated it really liked it. I actually read these books out of order, second one first, which I wasn't too impressed with and then this one, the first one. I was much more impressed with this one than the second.

It would of made the book 10 times better. Decent enough I suppose but the whole time I was reading it, I kept wondering if I'd read it before or if I've only read books that were so similar they seem as if they are the same book. There was nothing new here. There were no scenes that leapt out at me as novel in any way.

He wasn't particularly sweet nor particularly asshatish. She was just blah. Even the OW was pretty cardboard. Ese ha resultado muy interesante. A lo largo de la historia te quedas en duda si las cosas son lo que parecen o si hay algo oculto. Alejandro no suena real, pero no tienes pruebas de que no lo sea. Muy bueno del inicio al fin. The author has a formula that she always follows. Mar 16, Cherise rated it liked it Shelves: It usually follows the same pattern, h forgot, h got close to H and wham, h remembered and poopoo hits the fan. What always lures me is detecting the motive of our H, whether it is genuinely wanting a second chance or just wanting his pound of flesh.

I love not being in H's head and trying to figure this out from his actions and words. I also find this theme usually is like pealing an onion, where slowly layers are revealed regarding their past, whether they were blissfully happy or just a coldblooded arrangement. Our H here is blatantly obvious; he is always courteous and gentlely loving with her, he literally joins her at the hip, taking time from his busy schedule to spend time with her so she can get to reknow and be comfortable with him.

He also listens and makes concessions, and literally lays the world at her feet. Really sigh worthy great guy that is tenacious yet isn't afraid to put his feelings into words. Our h however confuses this seemingly pretty direct story.

Her inner alarm clock keeps blaring a mile a minute, making me reanalyse and coming up with plausible reasons for our H's actions. While she is our typical harlequin h, that just cannot resist our H if he so much as look at her, I did not find her too tstl or weak. She gives as good as she gets when the situation calls for it, and I also like that she accepts this attraction early on instead of beating herself up left and right after the fact every time. One thing about this h that really bugs me is her seemingly frivolous days, with nothing to do but get ready for parties at night, which seems a bit shallow and self absorbed.

I would have felt better if she does more than prepare for parties daily, maybe having a job, a protect or a cause. There are a lot of sexy times and I really think it is done very well. While the more recent romance culture tells us rough, carnal and some darker sexy times do not mean meaningless encounters necessarily, the love scenes here are more leisurely yet poignant, with a lot of light kisses and soft touches.

As H explains, this has been his way of expressing his adoration or our h all along and it works for me. The plot is simple and with a lot of ow drama. The one thing I find it odd is the H's disregard for ow being around them so much, though I really think it is a guy thing, thinking it unimportant because that is how he regards our ow. He did straighten things out very clearly once he realised what a problem to our h it is and I am just glad this is somewhat dealt with.

I love how the declaration pans out in this one. Like the plot itself, H also expresses himself layer by layer, mindful not to hit our vulnerable h with too large a dosage in case she freaks. This gentle pattering reinforces how in tune he is to our h, and echoes their sexy times well. I really enjoy this one, despite the ow going to be around still, I just find this extremely awkward, but oh well, H did an extremely nice job convincing me there is only our h in his eye plus he is not going to accept any abusing of his wife.

Helen Bianchin is one of my favorite authors. It's refreshing to read a romance novel centered around amnesia. The mystery of trying to determine when her memory will return and what secrets it will reveal is very stimulating.

I also love the fact that you could tell the husband loved his wife from the very beginning. There was no "he loves me, he loves me not" guessing games and no revenge plot. The heroine was very passionate and you could feel that in every page I enjoyed this book very much. The heroine was very passionate and you could feel that in every page of the book. I loved seeing a h that wasn't a doormat. I thought the ending could have been more wordy.

I would have loved an explosive ending especially from these two passionate characters but that alone is not enough to rate this book any less than 5 stars.
