Review: The Forgotten Bride (Brides of Holland Springs #3) by Marquita Valentine

Sexy former reality television star Luke Ambrose has returned to make a home in Holland Springs again—this time as the newest doctor for the town’s local clinic, and with every intention of making up for his past wrongs against his ex-wife.

After slipping into a coma due to a freak car accident, Lily Sawyer finally wakes up in the hospital, unable to remember the past ten years of her life. But what she does remember—she’s a dance teacher and she’s married to her high school sweetheart, Luke.

Torn between letting the past be the past and telling Lily the truth about their fragile relationship, Luke gives her the basics—they’re divorced but trying to work things out.
However, when Lily regains her lost memories and none of them include her new relationship with Luke, will she leave him once again, or give their love the second chance it deserves?




My Review

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

If you like second chance romances, this is the book you should read.  It is the ultimate second chance romance story. Lily and Luke are getting a second chance at their failed relationship, but with a little twist. Lily has lost the last 10 years and still thinks she is married to Luke! Talk about a clean slate. 

Lily and Luke were very young when they got married. They loved each other, but it wasn't enough. When Luke gets an opportunity that can benefit them in terms of money, he takes it and leaves Lily behind. They both thought that the other would show up in their lives again, but when that doesn't happen, Lily files for divorce.

Now it is 10 years later, they both have grown up a lot, and they are living in the same town. Luke is determined to make things right with Lily and just when the two of them are getting to good place, Lily gets in the accident that takes her memories. Luke doesn't leave her side the whole two weeks she in the hospital and when she does wake up, she thinks they are still married. Following her doctor's advice, Luke is honest with her and tells her that they are no longer married . But he does tell her that they were starting to work things out and he will help her any way he can. 

I loved Luke. The man he is today is very different from the one who was married to Lily. He has learned from his mistakes and knows that he is going to have to work to make Lily his again. With the help of Luke and other people in her life, Lily starts to remember things from the last 10 years. Unfortunately, for the both of them, one of those things is the memory of her and Luke breaking up. It's not pretty and my heart broke for her when she remembered. It was like she was going through it all over again.  

This book is definitely my favorite of the series and it was worth reading just to get to the epilogue. I almost burst into tears while reading it, which would be perfectly acceptable if I was home alone and not on public transportation!
