Forget it by Claire Highton-Stevenson

I've loved every book by this author, so naturally I had to read this one too, but I wasn't sure at first if I was going to like it as much as the others. From the description, it sounded like a bundle of typical lesfic tropes - ice queen, age gap, cute kid, and then throw in some amnesia. But the story actually flowed quite naturally, and as with her other books, the characters were such that you fell in love with them pretty fast. My favorite was Catherine, the ice queen who really wasn't that icy at all on the inside. I found her very sympathetic and relatable, and she sounded super hot. Then there was Brooke, the younger woman, who has an honesty and straightforwardness you just have to love. Brooke's kid sister, 15-year-old Robin, steals every scene she's in with her typical idealistic teenage ideas of how romance should go (and it turns out, she might be right)! The amnesia wasn't the over-the-top kind you see in movies where the character forgets everything. It was actually a very believable retrograde amnesia in which she just couldn't remember the past few weeks, but she knew who she was and everything. Most importantly, the amnesia provided her and Catherine with a second chance most couple who screw things up never get. Have you ever made such a big mistake that you wish the person you wronged could literally forget it and you could start all over again? In this book, that really happens!
