"Oh, honey. She doesn't remember . . ."
The love of his life doesn't remember. Following a fall that could have very easily claimed her life instead of her memory, Lauren Wentworth barely acknowledges Jonah Landry . . . except as someone whom she struggles to get along with. Four months of their budding romance have been erased by amnesia, making Jonah fearful that the longer those memories evade Lauren's recall, the likelihood of a happily-ever-after for the two of them is rather . . . unlikely. The completion of Lauren's internship at his family's rustic lakeside resort in New Hampshire is just months away.
To make matters worse, Lauren has voiced the fact that she is not even that sure she wants to remember, viewing a relationship with Jonah as a roadblock to her rising career opportunities back in Boston.
As sweet as this story turns out to be, Lauren's stubborn denial of her love for Jonah was hard to comprehend, making her a bit unlikeable, especially at the beginning. On the other hand, Jonah's patient and tender kindnesses seemed not only authentic, but selfless, as he navigated loving her while trying not to jeopardize her recovery in any way.
"She can't remember. He can't forget." How does that work, exactly??? Enjoy finding out.

She can’t remember. He can’t forget.
When Lauren Wentworth wakes up in the hospital after falling from a ladder, she has more questions than answers. Way more. She knows where she is—the wilds of New Hampshire. But she’s apparently lost the last four months of her life. Is she really contemplating forfeiting her big-city dream job for a position at a rustic resort? And how did her number one nemesis become her adoring boyfriend?
Jonah Landry is crushed to learn Lauren has forgotten their entire summer together. Terrified of losing her for good, he determines to help her remember their deep connection as she finishes her obligation to the resort. But soon it becomes apparent Lauren doesn’t want to remember falling in love with him or rethinking the entire course of her career. She wants to pretend the summer never happened and move on with her life. Without him.
As Lauren falls back into the steady routines of resort work with Jonah, she’s relieved her memories haven’t returned and remains resolute about her big-city future. But as autumn leads into winter, she begins to see glimpses of the Jonah she’s forgotten. Will she be able to resist the steady love of this patient man? Or is her heart destined for its own freefall?
