I hesitated to pick this one up, and it took me a minute to return to the Rine Kent universe. Honestly, I suck at reading only one author back to back without getting a little burnt out. But what really pushed me out was that I didn't love the previous duet I had read, and it took forever to read that duology. It was Johnathon's book. I am trying to decide if I like Kent's standalone reads/interconnected standalones more than duologies because so far, I always leave them wanting more or feeling like they are just dragging out and wishing it was just one book. But I'm happy this is the duology I returned to. It was so good. These characters were amazing. I loved seeing Reina! I have yet to read many books with the amnesia trope, but I loved seeing this play out. She was determined to discover her past but also wanted to improve. It was a chaotic good time, and I can't wait to see Rai's book.

I wasn’t a fan of this story (unfortunately). I’m aware of the fact that we’re supposed to be in the dark with this one — our MC has lost her memories & therefore we’re trying to piece things together as she does — but I wish there was more time spent on Reina & Asher’s relationship before it started to develop? I understand that he saved her that one night, but it seemed as though Reina went from mistrusting him to lusting after him overnight (which confused me)?

“I do feel. So much. It’s suffocating.”
Asher Carson is Reina’s fiancé, and has returned to the states because of her accident. Asher is a football player and right away Reina notices that something is wrong with Asher. Asher isn’t being secretive about his hatred for Reina, but at the same time he’s the one who keeps rescuing her.
Reina Ellis is a college student who has just woken up from a coma with amnesia, and the story follows Reina trying to figure out how she ended up in the hospital, but also who she was before her memories disappears. Meanwhile, someone is trying to hurt her, and she doesn’t know who or why.
I’ve been loving Rina Kent and falling in love with her books, sadly this one didn’t quite hit the mark like her others. Can’t really explain why, I just think so much happened with Reina figuring out who she was and is now, but I missed seeing Asher and Reina developing a bit more.
Tropes:
- Anmesia
- Toxic relationship
- Revenge
- Arranged marriage
