Forget You
by Nina Crespo
(Disclaimer: I'd probably put this at more 3.5 stars than 4.)
I liked Sophie (although I do think she didn’t make King work hard enough to win her back). She’s tried really hard to resist King, knowing exactly what kind of womanizer he is. She likes her job and crushing on him from the other side of the office door is at least something … until one night things get out of hand. I have to admire her for standing up for herself and getting out of the situation when she needed to. With King’s injury, though, everything changes. She still has feelings for him and the hurt is still there but she tries her best to keep things going smoothly for now. I couldn’t help cheering for her to go after the things that would make her really happy.
The amnesia thing isn’t as bad as might sound. King only looses a little bit of time, just enough to make the deal they’d been working on difficult. (It isn’t some soap opera-y thing :) ) It helps to keep them together for just a little bit longer while King gets back on his feet. It also had me feeling even more for her. To be the only one to know what really happened but to face him every day and pretend like everything is fine … just awful.
I do wish we’d gotten a bit more about King’s relationship with his father. Crespo gives us just enough to understand why he doesn’t get involved but I think a little more detail would have made him even more relatable. As it is, for some, he might come off as a big of an a$$ instead of someone with issues. He really doesn’t treat women well at all before he finally lets Sophie in.
Full of angst and drama, uncomfortable moments and difficult situations, Forget You isn’t a light and easy read. But it does bring heat, heartache, growth, and a HEA ending.
