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!

The Billionaire Bride (The Brides of Holland Springs, Book 1)-May 7, 2015

It’s not easy being the woman most likely to be married to a fortune hunter, but Kate Von Lichtenstein has a plan to deter even the most determined gold digger. She’ll take a page right out of her favorite historical romance novel - with her own unique spin. She’ll marry a man of her choosing before the public gets wind of how much money she actually inherited from her grandparents. And who fits the bill better than the sexy and charming American businessman, Noah Sawyer?

After selling his share of the successful tech company, Noah Sawyer lost everything when an unscrupulous realtor stole the money he intended to use to purchase a huge swath of land worth millions. So, when a chance meeting at a mutual friend’s wedding with a hot brunette turns into a mutually beneficial business arrangement, Noah jumps at the chance to salvage his business.

However, the sexy land developer has no intention of his marriage to Kate being in name only…





The Temporary Bride (Book 2)-May 19, 2015

Haven Crawford needs a husband—but only temporarily—in order to keep her grandparents’ inn in the family. Her well-meaning, but old-fashioned grandparents’ will requires her to marry if she wants to keep running Chesson House. But, the last person she’d ask to help is her childhood enemy, Heath Ambrose. Unfortunately, he’s the only one she can trust to keep his promise to divorce her and not take the inn when he leaves.

Star catcher, Heath Ambrose needs relief from his meddling mother and the jet-set lifestyle that accompanies his sudden rise to fame as the face of the newest national baseball team, the Greenville Pirates. As the last single Ambrose sibling, his mother is determined to marry Heath off, but he’s not ready to settle down. Especially not after watching the woman he loved run off to Scotland with another man. So when Haven proposes, Heath jumps at the chance for some peace in his life.

Only a temporary marriage to Haven is anything but peaceful—not to mention that they can’t keep their hands off one another. But, when the will’s conditions have been fulfilled and baseball season starts up again, will Heath and Haven be able to say goodbye when hate turns to love?

Or can temporary turn into forever?
