I enjoyed this suspense romance story. I enjoyed this author’s creativeness with the plot as well as the characters. They were able to pull me into the story right from the beginning.This is a story about Asia. She has lost three hours of memory along with everything she values in her life. One man risks everything for her, the problem is she isn’t supposed to love him. The twists and turns along with the battle that is raging kept me turning pages until the end. I highly recommend this book.

Unchained Memory is the first book in the Interstellar Rescue Series by Donna S. Frelick. I have really enjoyed reading this book, and series- coming into it a little backwards by starting with book four and working my way backwards to book one. So, as you can probably guess from my last statement, the books in this series can definitely be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing out on anything, or any important parts of the story. But, there are other recurring characters in this story/series who are really interesting, and you will find yourself wondering about them and what’s in the other books- so expect that one book won’t be enough, and that you’ll want to catch up on the other stories, too.
This is a bit of a racy space adventure- a science fiction story, full of danger, suspense, emotion, action, adventure, mystery, secrets, and intrigue- all wrapped around a sizzlingly hot romance. But it was the emotive content of the story that I really wasn’t expecting- it snuck up on me, woven through the storyline, but coming to a head towards the end, where I spent the final chapter/s bawling my eyes out. Then add to the mix some combustible chemistry, many intense scenes, heartbreaking details, violence, abuse, danger, hidden agendas, betrayal, friendship, adversity, conspiracy, risk, love, loss, grief, heartache, sacrifices, and memory loss- and you have all the ingredients needed to make this a completely riveting read!
Asia Burdette works at a talent agency in Nashville, doing her best to put the past behind her- but not really succeeding. Her days are plagued with thoughts of what ifs, guilt, and heartache- and her nights are haunted my terrorizing nightmares that leave her with more questions than she has answers for. In a desperate attempt to put it all behind her once and for all, Asia finds herself at yet another Psychiatrist’s office- without any real confidence that he’ll be able to help her.
Ethan Roberts takes on difficult cases- and prides himself on being able to help. He takes this responsibility to his patients very seriously and is respectful and professional, no matter what. But his latest patient is testing his resolve, both personally and professionally- her story is heartbreaking and frightening. He feels for her and is determined to help her. Will Ethan believe her? Will he be able to help her? What happens when danger comes calling? Is there really someone with a hidden agenda, or is it just a misunderstanding? What they discover is so much bigger than either of them ever expected and will change both their lives forever.
The story transitions from past to present and back again through the story- developing a lot of the backstory and character background information. Ms. Frelick cleverly wove the past and present together into a smooth and intriguing read that had me engrossed the whole way through.
There is definitely more to this story than first meets the eye, and it’s more than worth your time, money and effort!
Another fascinating read from a fantastic storyteller!
Thank you, Ms. Frelick!

Unchained Memory: Interstellar Rescue Series Book 1 by Donna S. Frelick is a Sci Fi thriller that is a compelling mystery romance and a great start to the series. What would you do if you lost three hours? Three hours where you have no idea what happened or where you were. What happens when the dreams or is it reality? threatens to steal your sanity.
Asia Burdette wakes to find she has lost three hours of her life and when she arrives home she finds her life has been turned upside down with something that will haunt her for the rest of her life. But when she decides she needs help, what she stumbles upon is more than she ever thought was real and will change the way she sees the world.
Ethan is a psychiatrist and wants to help everybody but when he realises that there are a few that he has been unable to help he realises that they may all have the same thing in common.
Together they find something that is far bigger than themselves and shakes their beliefs and understanding of what is out there, and it is this that means that danger his hot on their heels.
I look forward to what is to come.
