Forget Me Not is the story of a married couple who are headed for divorce when the husband gets in a car accident and loses memory of the last two years. Because he only remembers a time when they were happy, he can't fathom that he would be the cause of their break-up. The story continues with them confronting their issues and because this is a romance, there is a HEA.

I read this on a recommendation and while I didn't dislike it, I wasn't as blown away by it as I was expecting. While they do delve into what their problems are, there is far too much about their physical attraction to each other than I like to see in a marriage in trouble story. It is mentioned in the story that he is instantly attracted from first sight. I wanted to see more depth from both characters.

I have mixed feelings about this book.

The premise of the husband loosing his memory and only remembering their life 2 years ago before they split up is clever as it allows the heroine to express to him how his behaviour affected her which means the reader explores those feelings too.
Also although he cheated, and I'm not excusing his behaviour, the heroine also is able to explain how she felt leading up to the cheating.
They had two miscarriages after finding it difficult to get pregnant and she suffered from depression.

This leads to the Hero realising how much he hurt her.
It's clever as he is disgusted with himself, he can't understand how he would have behaved this way.

My issue is that he gets drunk and cheats, but he goes on to have sex with the same other woman.
This is explored.
His mother has always been a bone of contention in their relationship and she encourages the other woman so that doesn't help.

The Hero really doesn't seem the type to cheat, he adores his wife and is devoted to her in the flashbacks and all their friends find it hard to believe he did it too.

The Hero was pushed away by the heroine, got blind drunk and had a ONS, he wakes the next morning not knowing what happened.

He says he slept with other woman three times, each time he went to her for comfort, talking about his wife and it ended with sex.
This is my issue.
If it was a one off, not that that's okay but it does change things for me.
If it had been different women three times, I'm not saying I'd have taken him back but it's different to it being the same woman.

It also deals with interracial issues.

I also had an issue with the ONS, he was so drunk she has to remind him what happened, but later there is talk between the Hero and heroine about STDs but if he was drunk how does he know he's clean, pregnancy isn't an issue as I think it was 6 months ago the original ONS took place so they'd know by now if other woman was pregnant.

I liked that the heroine was no doormat, she is attracted to him still and struggles with that but does not give in easily.

They both have slept with other people in separation, the heroine tried to move on when she filed for divorce.

No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine.

HEA.
