Instead, she discovers a dark secret that shatters the foundation on which she built her life, and she finds herself tossed into a world of strangers. Whom can she trust? The brash blonde? The teenager? Or the handsome man claiming to be her lover?

A gripping story of love, heartache, disappointment and lies, this new novel from Tinthia Clemant deals with real life issues of memory loss and how the heroine fights back to regain what was once hers.

The story of Annah-Belle and Eric continue in this novel. However, in this next chapter of Annah's life, she will face much adversity, as she learns the truth of her heritage. Will it be too much for her handle? Will Eric stand beside her? Will she triumph as she has before? Will Sam return home and help his mother regain what she has lost? Read this engrossing and very dramatic story to find out the answers. This book is so explosive, I promise you won't want to put it down. I know I sure didn't want to, as it was written clearly with such emotion and turmoil that it leaves the reader thinking about his/her own life.

This was my first story by Ms. Clemant. I will definitely be reading more. In fact I will retract to read the first novel in this series. I was afforded an advanced reader copy in exchange for my most humble opinion.

This book was far more racy than my usual choice, nothing extremely graphic, but considerable sensuousness carried the story along throughout. The author did a good job of keeping me wondering chapter to chapter about the mysteries that the main character was trying to figure out. I don't want to spoil anything for potential readers, so without much clarification I will say that the heroine experiences a medical condition that I have always found interesting and "story-worthy".

I enjoyed this tale of a Wiccan who cast her spell to forget after finding out some disturbing news. Since this is book 2 and I had not read book 1 previously, I was able to catch fairly easily as to what happened in book 1. I was intrigued that Annah is 55 and a Wiccan. She casts spells and had cast one to find true love in book 1. However, he is much younger (34).

Annah is a bit of a complex character as she attempts to maneuver her life and love after a brutal beating from an ex-boyfriend that ends book 1 and starts book 2 with coming out of a coma. I liked that she was older and dealing with finding out things from her past that were painful revelations. She is also dealing with her son making a choice that makes her fell inadequate and alone.

Pam is hilarious, and I hope that she gets her own story. Eric is a Thor look-a-like and a sexy sweetheart. Barney is that meddling relative who means the best while annoying the heck out of you. I would like to get to know Mandy more, the owner of the store that Annah works at.These characters were identifiable and fun to read.

I am ready for book 3. Each book ends on a cliffhanger.
Note: I received an ARC, but I enjoyed it so much that I purchased a copy as well.

The continuing journey of Annah. Wow it was a great read! Her characters seem to take on such a real life drama, I feel like I am there with them. You won't be disappointed if you read the first book. I cannot wait for more!!

Thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

In this series, I really liked the first book. I loved Annah as a character and the book broke a bit of a taboo of an older woman with a younger man. In this book, it was a bit harder for me. The book was longer, but for me the story was less intense. And I felt like I lost Annah as a character, since she has memory loss. It also felt like some of the things that happened were "designed" to make the book more intense. I just still loved the characters, that's what's so strong.

This feels like a totally different book. Where I liked Annah a lot in the first book and didn't like Pam and Sam that much; it's the other way around in this book. Since Annah has memory loss, she is not herself and I lost my favorite character. I'm not sure if this series needed a second book and maybe the first book was good on it's own. Now that it turned into a series, I'm curious what's to come and I do hope the third book is as good as the first one.

Don’t really know where to begin. I received a complimentary copy from Book Reviews 4 You with no requirement for a review. Many times before when receiving an instalment in a series the author has offered up the previous book with the new one so the story makes sense. I wish that was the case with this book.

I found the beginning confusing without knowing what happened in the first book but the story was very intriguing. The characters were great and it kept me interested. However editing and formatting issues made it difficult to stay linked in the story. I kept stopping to screenshot the areas that were messed up so I could ask for it to be passed along to the author

Another wonderful page-turner that I volunteered to read without any outside influences. I was hooked from the start and glued to my seat! So get ready for an emotional roller coaster ride with a unique storyline, great characters & descriptions that I honestly recommend to all fans of fiction.
