Finding Her Forever by Melissa Storm takes you on a journey through Ellie's mind and memory. After a horrible car accident, Ellie forgets everything - her name, her friends, and the identity of the literal man of dreams. She journeys far from home to an Alaskan ranch that specializes in memory therapy.

But Ellie is still haunted by this mystery man that shows up every night in her dreams. She knows that he was someone special, but she can't figure out who he is. She can't figure out much of anything, because even though she tries as hard as she can, her memories stay out of reach.

However, this gives Ellie a chance to find herself all over again. She reinvents herself as a completely different person than the horrible and vain one she seemed to be before the accident. But she can't seem to move past her dream man.

When a handsome ranch hand, Landon, catches her eye, she isn't sure what she should do. And as they start to become close, she feels like she's betraying someone from her past.

Throughout her journey to recovery, she learns many things about herself. She reconnects with her father in an incredibly touching way. And she bonds with the horses and people at the ranch.

I loved Ellie's journey, the horses, and the ending was quite a surprise twist. A mix of deception and redemption, which make an unusual but very well-done story.

**I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book**

Hitting a deer proves on a wet road proves impossible to avoid. Recovering from a traumatic brain injury proves difficult as well.
Trying to remember her past, Ellie goes to Alaska to the Memory Ranch. Hoping horse therapy will help bring her memory back, Ellie allows Landon to work with her on the calming effects that the horses provide. When her memory returns, she is totally caught off-guard.
Another great book by a great author. Looking forward to book 2 in this series.
