Note: This is book 1 in Maya Bank’s Pregnancy & Passion series. (The titles were shortened at one point for a print/ebook rerelease). While each book covers the entire arc for a single couple - references to events are made as the series goes on that makes these best listened to in order.
Meh. It wasn’t that good, but I didn’t DNF. I borrowed it from the library, so it didn’t cost me any money which is probably the only reason it didn’t make me mad.
There’s a LOT of book here, but it’s repetitive dialogue and not much of it works to truly redeem Rafe or prove he’s permanently a changed man. Bryony is a strong woman, except for the fact that she sort of puts up with Rafe’s nonsense.
Grand gesture and then bam, all is forgiven. Ends on a HFN, but there are updates on them as the series continues.
Narration:
I like Harry Berkeley’s narration. However, I think he’s a better fit for her romantic suspense (KGI series). I do like all his character voices and emotions.

I love Mayas book. Usually every book from her is a 5 star read for me. This one I just didn't connect with it. I absolutely love Byrony. She's amazing. She's been through a lot yet still stays compassionate and kind. Too kind in some instances, but I love her spirit. Rafe is a jerk. After what he did, he honestly didn't deserve Byrony at all. She's too good for him. He should have groveled more.

Memory loss, pregnancy, and a land deal that wasn't. A quick read before going to bed. I liked Bryony well enough, she had a little bit of spunk and Rafe, the Rafe that didn't remember was also likeable. Eventually love prevailed and for once the heroine didn't back down and the heroe didn't blackmailed or threatened the heroine to get what he wanted. Then again this is Maya Banks and most of the time those are the type of heroines she writes. Most of the time.

Umm.
I really liked Bryony but had a really hard time understanding how fast everything worked out. Way too fast of a resolution, especially with how big of a dick Rafael was. Bryony is a no-holds barred kind of lady and is honest and upfront to a point of bluntness. I can't mesh that lady with the one in the ending.

I accidently picked these up in the wrong order and read Wanted by Her Lost Love first. That story had such a great connections to the characters that this story was almost a letdown to me. Don't get me wrong, this was a great story. I loved Bryony (and I still pronounce her name Byrony in my head), she was smart, spunky, and had no problem telling Rafael off. Rafael was a strong Alpha male but when a tragic accident leaves him with a memory loss, he can't remember what drew him to Bryony initially. Being the smart man that he is, he suggests they return to the site where they fell in love to help him recovery his memories. Even though he can't remember her, Bryony fights hard for the man she loves and their potential future. Great read, sexy characters. A very good lead in to the rest of the series.

“They fit. She fit him. And he had absolutely no explanation for it, other than somehow, he’d lost his heart and soul on that island and then the entire event had been wiped from his mind.”

Wow! I can't figure out if the author is trying to be ironic with this book.it was the perfect example of bad harlequin romance book. I have to give Maya Banks credit she is a great author. I still oddly enjoyed the book and cared about the characters no matter how predictable, corny, cheesy the plot was.
