About the Book:
A woman with no memory…Addison should be happy; she’s about to marry a wonderful man. But something is wrong – she has no memory. Two years ago, she was found on the side of the road, unable to remember who she is.

A husband without a wife…Julian has spent the past two years wondering why his loving wife disappeared. She never would have left her family willingly…would she?

A reunion where nothing is as it seems…Julian finds Addison just in time to stop her marrying someone else. But something isn’t quite right. Who is Addison really? Why did she leave? And what dark secrets are hiding in this marriage?

My Review:
I am really torn with this review, it's time like this when I really wish I could click half stars. I devoured this book but it was REALLY over the top but kinda in a campy way. Liv Constantine is a real hit and miss for me but this one is right down the middle. It was sorta like a soap opera with the amnesia/missing wife plot...it was comical in some ways but I couldn't put it down.

The twist wasn't a big surprise for me but the way the story is told kept me on the edge of my seat dying to know what happened and why but I think there was more that I didn't like than I enjoyed so I am going to round down to three stars. I would still read the next by these authors though.

Disclosure:
Thank you NetGalley, Liv Constantine and HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an impartial review; all opinions are my own.

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining. With many thanks to NetGalley, Shauna Robinson and Sourcebooks Landmark for the giving of the ARC. View all my reviews
