Never have I ever thought that an amnesia and a love triangle book at the same time could be that good. I thought that'd drop this book the moment I found out that the FMC lost all of her memories. But I didn't for some mysterious reasons. This made me cry sometimes. Loved this one.

I was immediately drawn in by these two souls that find each other on the worst days of their life. I love that the universe keeps bringing them together and his deep love for her is so pure. Not to mention the possessiveness and the idea of a love triangle with his brother? Hot. Plus excellent smut.

This book contains mild trigger plots of abandonment and suicide. It is handled well but one should keep in mind while reading

This is my second Catharina Maura book, which is written way better. The other book I read was The Wrong Bride from Sinclair Series. The plot of this book is well tied together. It is an ex's brother romance trope. At first, I thought the first part was well written as it had a good story buildup. In the second part, I realised that they were just talking about the past all this while. It makes me wonder if it could have been written in a different way. It could have added more suspense.

Things I liked:

1. Plot. It had lots of potentials. I wish it had been narrated a bit differently but it is still a good read.
2. Characters. I liked that the leads had defined characteristics. ;

Things I wished were different:
1. Narrative structure. But that's my personal opinion. Could be biased.
