My Rating:

Goodreads Summary: I washed ashore in a little lake town. A place where everyone knows everyone, yet… No one knows me. I don’t know me. If a woman doesn’t know her own name, does she really exist? I don’t know my natural hair color, my birthdate, or where I live. I am invisible. To everyone, to everything, even to myself. Except to him. I see the recognition deep in his stare, the way it lingers on my face as if I’m a puzzle he’s desperate to put together. I just want answers, the truth… knowledge. His lips are sealed. Still, his eyes beguile me. I can’t trust anyone, not even myself. Someone wants me dead, the same someone who tried to bury me in a watery grave. They’ll come for me again… I won’t know their face. I don’t even know mine. I am amnesia.

My Review

Amnesia in Three Words: Mysterious. Passionate. Interesting.

I really enjoyed the romantic suspense novel Amnesia. This is my first book by this author, and I enjoyed it enough to try some of her other books as well.

I am a fan of mystery/thrillers, but if I am being honest, I prefer for there to be some romance in my books as well. Amnesia fits that bill. One night when the water was choppy on one of his late night walks along the shore, Eddie saw a figure floating in the water in the distance. He rushes out in the lake and saves the mystery woman, who also happens to look like someone from his past.

Amnesia chooses to be called just that when she wakes up in the hospital after being in a coma with none of her memories. I liked Amnesia and her struggle between wanting to know and not wanting to know what happened to her in the past. I enjoyed watching her try new things and food since she didn't know what she did or didn't like. All the while, Eddie is there for her. He is a hunk, and wonderfully sweet.

I enjoyed the small town setting where everyone knows each other and has some quirks. I also enjoyed the mystery aspect of the book, because there is more than just one thing going on. Eddie's mysterious past he isn't sharing with Amensia along with Amnesia's own rocky history and missing memories kept me curious throughout the book.

The Verdict: I look forward to reading book two.
