Memory loss, pregnancy, and a land deal that wasn't. A quick read before going to bed. I liked Bryony well enough, she had a little bit of spunk and Rafe, the Rafe that didn't remember was also likeable. Eventually love prevailed and for once the heroine didn't back down and the heroe didn't blackmailed or threatened the heroine to get what he wanted. Then again this is Maya Banks and most of the time those are the type of heroines she writes. Most of the time.

Umm.
I really liked Bryony but had a really hard time understanding how fast everything worked out. Way too fast of a resolution, especially with how big of a dick Rafael was. Bryony is a no-holds barred kind of lady and is honest and upfront to a point of bluntness. I can't mesh that lady with the one in the ending.

I accidently picked these up in the wrong order and read Wanted by Her Lost Love first. That story had such a great connections to the characters that this story was almost a letdown to me. Don't get me wrong, this was a great story. I loved Bryony (and I still pronounce her name Byrony in my head), she was smart, spunky, and had no problem telling Rafael off. Rafael was a strong Alpha male but when a tragic accident leaves him with a memory loss, he can't remember what drew him to Bryony initially. Being the smart man that he is, he suggests they return to the site where they fell in love to help him recovery his memories. Even though he can't remember her, Bryony fights hard for the man she loves and their potential future. Great read, sexy characters. A very good lead in to the rest of the series.

“They fit. She fit him. And he had absolutely no explanation for it, other than somehow, he’d lost his heart and soul on that island and then the entire event had been wiped from his mind.”

Wow! I can't figure out if the author is trying to be ironic with this book.it was the perfect example of bad harlequin romance book. I have to give Maya Banks credit she is a great author. I still oddly enjoyed the book and cared about the characters no matter how predictable, corny, cheesy the plot was.

Good book. I liked the way Bryony punched him at the beginning - quick and to the point. I liked the way that she saw the best in Rafael, and believed that he could be different if he wanted to. At the same time, Rafael was willing to believe the best also, and came to the island to try to recapture what they had. The conclusion was pretty impressive, and I liked his "go big" option. I'm really looking forward to the other books in the series, since these guys are all primed for big falls.

Rafael de Luca has been trying to get on with his life after surviving a near fatal plane crash four months ago. He's left with one reminder of that crash, the selective amnesia that has left him with a memory gap of the four weeks prior to the accident. So it isn't any surprise when he doesn't recognize the dark haired beauty who comes up to him at a party and then punches him in the face.
Bryony Morgan fell for Rafael hook, line and sinker when he came to Moon Island trying to buy the parcel of land she was selling. She believed him when he said he would be back to the island after taking care of business in New York, but was soon devastated when he never returned. When she ended up pregnant, she decides to go to New York to confront Rafael. The last thing she expected was for him to not recognize her.
This is a story of second chances and using that second chance to become a better person.
Rafael discovers he was a different person in the weeks he spent Bryony. And while he's almost certain he never acted as she says, once he gets to Moon Island with her, he discovers that he likes the person that he is with her. He also discovers that after just a few days, he loves her and wants to have a family with her, even if he can't remember any of their time together.
Bryony second chance (or with Rafe, maybe it's more like third chance) is to grab hold and fight for what she loves. She let Rafe go once without a fight, but when he leaves for New York again she decides that she needs to fight for their chance to be together and not get hung up on promises made that he obviously can't remember. When she's once again devastated by Rafe, she grabs hold of the love he displays to her and doesn't let go.
Who doesn't enjoy a happy ending? This one gave you that and a little smile when Rafe and Bryony finally got it right.
