Help Me Remember by Corinne Michaels
4.0
This was quite the rollercoaster. Normally amnesia plots aren’t my thing but since the whole story is predicated on that element, and not thrown in as a twist near the end, I knew this would work for me. Plus, I absolutely adore Corinne!!
Brielle is forced to deal with amnesia and the loss of her brother simultaneously. Her friends and family are unable to give her any information regarding the last 3 years of her life. She is the witness to her brother murder and the DA wanted to build a case around her discovered memories not information fed to her by others. It’s creates an impossible situation for everyone involved. There is so much frustration and tears for Bri. She felt lost and alone.
Meanwhile, she enlists the help of her brother’s best friend, Spencer. He was an investigative journalist so she felt he had the skills to help her recover her memories. Unfortunately, the memory he’s desperate for her to recover is of their love affair. He knows finding her brothers killer is paramount but he’s also coping with losing her in essence.
I found some of the most heartbreaking scenes the ones where Spencer is trying to help her recover the memories surrounding the attack while not divulging this huge thing between them. He stuck by her side without fail. It was so apparent how much he truly loved her and wanted the best for her.
While the book was lower on the heat, it was filled with love, passion and tenderness. If you’re like me, you’ll probably be screaming at your book wanting Bri to just remember!! But we need those twists and turns so we can get to the HFN - and I say this because Corinne gives us a peek into the next book!!
I received an ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
