Forgotten by the Billionaire
It's Complicated, Book 2
By: Maggie Cole
Narrated by: Stephanie Nemeth Parker, Zachary Johnson
Maggie Cole! I love your dark, mafia romances but this story has shown me just how versatile you are! This contemporary romance grabbed my heart and did not let go! Xander has taken a new job in Chicago, the newest surgeon as he starts over and still is in search of his fiance. When he enters the operating room, he hears the voice in his dreams. Charlotte and Xander were together, but since the accident that stole Xander's memory and their future, she has been healing and trying to move on. But now, working together, and glimpses of the past, will these two find their way back to each other? Sweet, spicy, and all around fun, this story had me from the first chapter. Xander is a warm and passionate man, and it is easy to sympathize and understand him. Charlotte is so understanding, and her love is steadfast. But is it all enough? Cole gives us a story that is easy to hear, characters that are engaging and a story that warms the heart.
Enhancing his story is the fabulous narration team. Zachary Johnson is amazing, bringing Xander warmth, frustration and love. Stephanie Nemeth-Parker falls into character as Charlotte. Her pain is evident and her love shines through it all just with the nuances used. It's a fantastic performance and one that everyone will enjoy.

"Don't Forget Me"
Oh, the irony of that statement. Every time I heard it, or some variation of it, my heart broke just a little more.

❝ ’Don’t forget, I love you, Charlotte,’ you told me.
Then I said, ’I won’t. Don’t forget, you love me.’
But then you forgot me. ❞

A sweet second-chance romance about letting go of the past, and appreciating what’s been right in front of you the entire time.
This story wasn’t what I expected, but I still enjoyed it. I thought that it was going to be similar to [b: The Vow], based off of the synopsis.
The story I was expecting was:
The hero has been in a long term relationship with the heroine, but then they get into a car accident that leaves the hero with no recollection of the past 12 years of his life. In his mind, he’s twenty-two and in a relationship with the girl he loves and plans to marry. When his friends inform him they broke up a decade ago, he’s left confused and frustrated because his mind insists he still loves her. This causes him to dismiss the life he built with the heroine, and push the heroine away, so that he can fix his relationship with his ex. But when he finally gets his memories back, he realizes that he pushed away the woman he really loves in the present, for a ghost from his past.
The story I got:
The hero had been in a long distance relationship with the heroine for three months, until they got into a car accident that leaves the hero with no recollection of the past 12 years of his life. He wakes up from his coma thinking he’s twenty-two and in a relationship with the girl he loves and plans to marry, only for his friends to inform him that they broke up a decade ago. He can’t understand why they would break up, and proceeds to spend the next six months obsessively searching for her, unaware that he was already in a relationship with the heroine.
I almost left this as a DNF, when I realized that the previous relationship between the hero and heroine was only three months old, instead of something long-term. I was skeptical as to how the author would manage to develop such a strong connection, in such a short amount of time, that would insight the heartache of a love forgotten. Thankfully, I stuck with the story, because Cole did manage to make the rather short relationship work with the conflict.

Forgotten by the Billionaire by Maggie Cole is an amnesia billionaire romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Stephanie Nemeth Parker and Zachary Johnson. This is the second book in the It's Complicated series and can be read as a stand-alone.
I absolutely love Maggie's books! She does an amazing job pulling me into the story. I loved the relationship between Xander and Charlotte. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
I can't wait to dive into the next book in the series My Friend The Billionaire so I can get Chase and Vivian's story.
Stephanie and Zachary did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you like billionaire romances, second chance romances, amnesia romances, medical romances, or contemporary romances.
