mfred 's review for:
A Cowboy to Remember
by Rebekah Weatherspoon
So, like, is it okay to sleep with your ex-BFF while she has total amnesia and doesn’t remember you at all?
Evie is celebrating her success at a company holiday party when she runs into her nemesis and falls down the stairs. She ends up in a coma for a few days due to head trauma. When she wakes up she remembers nothing! Not who she is, not where she is from, not who the people around her area. It’s all gone! Her assistant gets in touch with her emergency contact and in walk the Pleasant brothers– hot Stetson wearing cowboys who knew her from childhood. With Evie’s loss of memory, Zach finally has a chance to make things right between them after ten long years of separation. He is going to do everything in his power to make Evie see how wonderful they can be together.
What’s really great about this book is that there is very little secret keeping, manipulation, or even outright lying. Zach is upfront with Evie from the beginning that they were estranged and had a falling out. He may reveal the details a little slowly, and entirely from his point of view, but he doesn’t prevaricate or lie. And when Evie demands an apology for what went down between them, Zach gives it to her.
It’s a low angst book– even when Evie is struggling with her memory loss and feeling alone, the book doesn’t dwell. And Zach is an upbeat, funny, well-meaning guy who has no problem admitting his feelings for Evie and telling her about them. The only thing is… I never really felt strong chemistry between Evie and Zach. Zach has his memories of Evie and his past feelings for her, but in the present that strong connection between them felt lacking. Evie is attracted to him, even dreams about him, but she doesn’t know him at all.
Evie is something of a blank slate for most of the book. When they finally have sex, she brings this blankness with her. It’s not a re-connection of two long lost lovers because Evie doesn’t remember and Zach doesn’t do a lot to remind her. Which made me a little uncomfortable. Should you be having sex with your amnesiac ex-BFF, Zach? Knowing that once she recovers, she may very well toss you out on your ear? The setting was right, and Weatherspoon knows how to write a love scene, but the romanceyness (legit a word) didn’t feel all there.
There’s a lot more to like about this book than dislike, however. 4 stars.
