Forgetting the Past is about a woman who wakes up from a coma resulting from a car accident her husband has died in. Ava wakes up with no recollection of the accident or her life before the accident. She slowly recovers her memory and she remembers things she probably wishes she wouldn't but in this painful process, Ava finds herself with the help of her family and friends. Ava and her friends decide to fulfill one of Ava's lifelong dreams of opening a B&B and she meets a man with a secret of his own that she develops a connection with.
This is the first book I've read about an amnesiac that turns into a nice romance. It wasn't quite a HEA but it was a pleasure to read.

Loved this story and the characters. Very engaging. The only part I didn't like was the cliffhanger at the end. I know it's part of a series but the way things were left made me want to pull my hair out...because I didn't have the 2nd book in front o me. I am now a fan of Brenda Kenndy's work.

*Grateful to have received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*
I truly loved this book! I still cannot believe the cliffhanger. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that there was a warning at the beginning of this book, that both the first and second books in this series would end in cliffhangers. I was still not prepared. Usually, I watch the % on the bottom of my kindle gradually get higher and higher. One second I was looking and I was at 60%, then all of a sudden I was at 100% with no warning! I absolutely cannot wait for books 2 and 3.
I have never written a book with so many different alternating persons narrating. I was a little nervous about it when I first realized how many different characters’ minds I was going to be getting into. I have always been hesitant that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with all of them. I’m so happy to say that I absolutely loved it!
Brenda’s writing made the transitions between characters so easy and flawless. She has made me much more open to this writing style. I am definitely going to be adding more books written with this style to my TBR pile, starting with all of Brenda’s other books.
I was continually swept away by all of the characters in this book. Getting into each of their minds added greatly to the story. I need more Chase and Xander, and more Ava and Skyler! These characters made the cliffhanger worth it. There are so many questions that still need to be answered. I am very impatiently waiting for the remaining books in this trilogy.
Recommended for those who love contemporaries, love stories, and who can handle cliffhangers.

“I love that movie. Is it weird that I can remember that movie, but nothing about my life?”
“When he picked up the book Baby Names: The Easy Way to Choose the Perfect Name for Your Baby by Heather Kennedy, he quickly ended our date and that was the last time we ever went out.”

Yet another installment of Brenda Kennedy grabbing you by the heart strings and then leaving you hanging there onto a thin rope off a cliff of want! Want for book two to hurry up and be released! The raw emotionality of this book leaves you turning page after page anxious to see what happens next. The Queen of Cliffhangers does it again! Leaves me sitting at the very edge of my seat, mentally sending messages to Kennedy in hopes that she will somehow hear the desperate cries for an early release! How ever am I suppose to wait to find out what happens next?!
