3.5/5 stars! This had a very interesting plot with memory loss and a murder mystery. I just couldn't connect to any of the characters which had me skipping through the majority of their dialogue.

This was very good. I’ll be honest, I went in thinking I wasn’t going to like it but because I love Corinne’s books so much (I’ve read all 30ish of them and have only disliked one) I felt like I should give it a try. Well I was so pleasantly surprised. The amnesia trope is so hit or miss and I’ll be honest I couldn’t care less about the “mystery” aspect of this book and still don’t really full buy into why everyone had to lie to Brielle the entire time but it was still very good. And Spencer was

Another heartfelt, sexy and beautiful story from Corinne!
I can always depend on Corinne to provide me with a story that’s beautiful, fun and sexy. Her stories are so well written that you just get sucked into them.
This particular story is a unique premise. A brother’s best friend, age gap, second chance all rolled up into one. When Brielle wakes up in a hospital having no memory of the last 3 years of her life you are taken on her journey of trying to regain her memory and decipher truth from lies. This is told in Dual POV with her and her lifelong friend, Spencer.
Spencer has been instructed along with everyone else in Brielle’s life to not give her any insight into the memories she is missing in hopes that when they do come back it will be unsolicited, unprovoked and her own thoughts in order to catch the man who put her in the hospital and killed her brother. He struggles with wanting to be honest about where his and Brielle’s friendship has been for the past year while also wanting to be able to respect the wishes of their friends and family when it comes to her recovery. Oh I felt so bad for him!
Throughout this book you are not only trying to solve a mystery but also watching two people fall in love while seeing their original journey as well. You’re watching a man who desperately loves a woman but can only help her so much while said woman still thinks they are friends from 3 years ago.
I enjoyed the overall premise of the book. It was a little wordy sometimes but the character development and storyline was very sweet, sexy and unique.

The two main characters didn’t really have chemistry and I didn’t like how it was written. It didn’t flow and there was no world-building. Characters would be introduced with no explanation as to who they were, etc.

Help Me Remember is the first book in the Rose Canyon series. Brielle awakes in the hospital to find her memory of the past three years gone and her brother dead. She’s the only person who can identify the killer. When her memory fails to come back she decides to work with her brother’s best friend, Spencer, to try to bring it back. I don’t want to spoil anything but WOW this book was a ride in the best way. I couldn’t put it down. I stayed up until 2AM to finish it. I loved Brielle and Spencer, but I also loved their group of friends. This story was well done and I only cried twice, which is truly a miracle for me when it comes to Corinne’s books
