This book was a nice little Hallmark movie.
The book world is huge right now; when you tell a story, you should make sure that it has something special, different from the others so it could stand out. The "amnesia" storyline is worn out and I was hoping that this would have a different line of events but I was wrong. This book was easy to forget. Not a single plot line was original, it was all made of cliches, and I usually don't have a problem intertwining a cliche as a part of your story, but please make it your own. There were a lot of plot holes and inconsistencies in a matter of a few paragraphs...There was no dynamic.
The characters were bland and there was no real chemistry between them. Some of the side characters were completely unnecessary.
A lot of questions were unanswered. I need to know the process of her finding out that her ex-husband is coming home with amnesia. How did she feel, what emotions that brought up? We didn't get that. He left, they argued, but what was it all about? We don't get to see the ugly side of Archie and why did he leave ... Why do we hate Archie? We are missing that part of the story, it is badly needed so that his redemption ark is strong. We can not fall in love while love is still there and not much of a determination to not let things hurt you again.
This was a casual quick read; if you want an easy HEA then you should pick this up. If you are looking for some plot twists or deeply developed characters then maybe you should skip this one.

We get an explanation of their big fight at the end of the book, but then it is too late. It did nothing for the storyThis was a casual quick read; if you want an easy HEA then you should pick this up. If you are looking for some plot twists or deeply developed characters then maybe you should skip this one.
