I loved the idea of this book although with the introduction of Anderson you sort of knew what was going to happen. I loved Elliot and Noah together and even the bits with Noah and Anderson were intriguing but I thought there would be more snapshots of memories slowly building to the finale. I also though the reason for Elliot and Noahs breakup would have been more. I can't imagine after all that time someone flying off the handle and leaving for good over that, maybe an argument but that did seem a little too much. Overall though, I did enjoy the story

When Casey announced the release of this new book, I was ecstatic. I really love the author's way of writing and her stories.
After a disappointment and a slight revival of her last two novels that I read, Forgetting you returns to the abyss of disappointment.

I admit, the synopsis is something we have already had the opportunity to read, but knowing the author, I expected something shocking, passionate and engaging from the story.
So it wasn't... I'm sorry to say it, but boredom overwhelmed me.

The only positive note of the entire book? Elliot!

The story between Noah and Elliot is something sweet and nice.

The book as a whole is well written, flowing and devours itself in a few hours.
Don't expect a crazy story, but an okay story.

Bailey and Noah are in a deadly car accident. Although Noah survives, she remains in a coma for 15 days. This with 26 stitches to her head and countless other injuries.

Noah's parents come to visit - but where is her love, Elliot? (Actually she and Elliot broke up 5 years ago). Her mum painfully tells her this. Noah cannot believe that it is not 2015. Even more surprising is when Noah finds that she is married to a man named Anderson. Noah does not even recognize the man!

An interesting take on amnesia. Great plot reveal and characterization. Recommend.

Many Thanks to Amazon Publishing, UK and Netgalley for a very good read!

2.5 stars (rounded up because I LOVED ELLIOT!)

This is a new to me author and when I read the blurb I was intrigued. I've enjoyed other books that have tackled this concept, so I was looking forward to seeing how it was going to be played out this time around.

I loved Elliot. He was sweet and loyal and had an adorable Irish accent. From the beginning I could tell he had a good heart and the more I read the more convinced I became that he was put through the wringer unnecessarily. And even then, he continues to be an overall great person.

Which leads to Noah. I won't lie, I didn't like her. Don't get me wrong, I felt bad for what she went through after her accident, but as the story unfolded and I learned what had happened between her and Elliot my opinion of her changed, which ultimately had an impact on my enjoyment of the story as a whole.

All in all, a good love story with a wide range of emotions and a little intrigue to keep you engaged enough to see it through until the end.

Title: Full of emotion

Content:
This book is super emotional and made me cry and laugh and every turn. But there is a little too much drama in it. That made it annoying and kind of ruined it for me. It’s probably for you though. I like lighter, softer, funny romances. As soon as a book strays from my regular, (an exception to a couple of amazing books,) I usually don’t like it.

I wrote this voluntary review in exchange for an ARC copy.

Ok…I’m going to be honest here. I am a lover of all things L.A. Casey books but Forgetting You was okay.


Noah and Elliot were ridiculously sweet hahaha but the storyline was kind of over the top, kinda cliche and sort of predictable.
It wasn’t bad but it isn’t a book I would gush about with my friends.

Forgetting You is the lastest second chance romance from author L.A. Casey and it follows the story of Noah and Elliott. When Noah wakes up in a hospital room, she has no idea what happened to her or how she got there. Her brain seems to be stuck 5 years in the past. Noah is horrified to learn that Elliott is no longer hers and that she's married to someone else. Even though Noah is married to someone else, she can't deny the pull she feels towards Elliott. Elliott brings Noah calm in an otherwise chaotic world. Noah has a million questions and unfortunately no answers. When the truth finally comes out, Noah must decide which path is right for her....

Overall, I thought this book was an ok read. I feel in love with the cover and synopsis immediately. I loved the idea of the story and couldn't wait to dive in. Noah's story intrigued me and kept me coming back for more. What was she doing that night? Why was she with Elliott's sister? How did Elliott and Noah break up? And who the heck is Anderson??

However, there were quite a few things that just didn't add in this story for me. First of all, I wanted more of a connection and chemistry with Noah and Elliott. Yes, we saw some flashbacks of their past, but I needed more. I needed to see how Elliott was struggling without Noah; how he still held onto his feelings for her despite her being married to someone else. Speaking of being married to someone else, we didn't really get a lot of answers when it comes to Anderson. I feel like this story could have benefited from a chapter or two from Anderson's point of view just so the reader could get a feel for him and see his connection to Noah. One of the biggest issues I had was Noah pursuing her feelings for Elliott even though she was technically with Anderson. I understand that she went through major trauma, but it just didn't make sense. It frustrated me that Elliott went along with it and that is just a big no-no for me. I also felt like the story resolved itself far too quickly. All this build-up and climax and then the story was just over. 

I wanted to love this book so much, but in the end, it just left me feeling meh. I guess you could say I had quite the love-hate relationship with this book. I think this is a book that may work for some and leave others hanging. I do think this book had some good things going for it, it just wasn't a 100% hit for me. That being said, I'm still glad to have checked this book out.

*I was provided an ARC copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review*

I am a sucker for a good romance and was very excited to read this one. Overall it was a great story. There was certain parts of the story that I didn't like/agree with but I would definitely recommend this book.

I found this book a real let down. A great premise but with no real connection between the characters shown. A real shame

RATING: 2/5 STARS

L.A. Casey takes readers on an emotionally gripping roller-coaster ride from the perspectives of a victim of a car crash and her old Irish flame. 'Forgetting You' showcases the recovery both physically and mentally, and who she becomes along the way as she rediscovers her old memories. I've never read anything from L.A Casey in the past so I was eager to try this one out!

The nature of this sort of plot line itself is the type where the reader can find themselves captivated and immersed if they allow themselves to keep reading, although this is more biased towards me since I love a good mystery/heartache book. I loved learning about each of the characters but I feel as though the author spent more time describing details such as looks/outfits and what was currently happening, rather than focusing on building out each of the characters and their thoughts themselves. I think building out the characters and making Elliot's thoughts more distinct from Noah's would've made their characters come to life more. I think that's what made certain parts of the book drag on longer since the focus on describing what was happening was too big (since a lot of it wasn't necessary).

It also would've been more compelling to see additional emphasis on her rediscovery of old memories rather than amp it all up only at the end with only a small memory near the beginning. I also feel as though Casey built up so much suspense towards what caused the falling out between Elliot and Noah, but the actual reason was pretty anticlimactic. I think putting that discovery earlier on in the book so that Noah could have more time to sort through why that reason made her tick specifically and a more thorough thought process in Elliot's mind in regards to what made him change his mind and do a 180 would've been better.

Another suggestion would be to add some more personality to Anderson in order to make the plot twist more surprising. By focusing so much on Noah and Elliot for the majority of the book, it made it easy for me to guess what was going to happen in terms of the car accident and future events. The author gave too many hints from start.

I definitely wish there was less of a negative emphasis on weight gain and how that was viewed so negatively by the heroine every time it was brought up. While the mini lesson there had to do with body positivity, the comments Noah made to get there weren't positive and could've been worded better.

Nevertheless, I did have a good time reading this and since I have a soft spot for mysteries and romance, this book definitely cured that itch! If you want a light mystery and a book about second chances, then you should definitely pick this up! L.A Casey did a great job capturing

Thank you to NetGalley for providing the PDF to read!

I really enjoyed Forgetting You, the new standalone by L.A. Casey. This is the story of Noah Ainsley who awakens from a coma after being in a car accident. She learns that she has short term memory loss. Her memories are of her boyfriend Elliot McKenna – not her husband! The story alternates between the past and the present.

“I thought you’d be my forever person.”

There is so much I loved about this book! It is written with Irish and English dialect throughout. I thought the story flowed. There was a bit of mystery as to why Noah left Elliot and married another man. There was also mystery surrounding the car accident that caused her memory loss.

I found Noah to be honest, emotional and charming even though she was shy. Elliot is fun, driven and a bit dominate. He adores Noah and she him. Family and friends also play a significant role in their lives.

Forgetting You is a sweet and intriguing romance. A great September read! Take a break, sit outside and enjoy!

4.5 stars

Forgetting You hooked me from the start and I finished it in one evening. Elliott and Noah were great interesting characters who I cared about from the start. I figured out the plot right away but that didn't take away from the story. This was the first book I read by LA Casey but it won't be my last.

3.5 stars
I was always intrigued by the concept of amnesia and how one will continue the life they have just like a child learning all the small steps in life.
The story was interesting and , even if it felt like at a slower pace at times, it still made me want to keep reading so I can find out what really happened before the accident. By 70% in i already suspected the big twist that was yet to come and I wasn’t wrong.
It’s a story about life and decisions and mistakes and of course, a second chance at love and romance with a twist.
I personally couldn’t get over one thing that’s happening in the way everything comes together and that’s why the lower star rating.


Many thanks to the publisher Amazon Publishing UK for my review copy.

I started this one but struggled to get into the story and connect to the characters. This story line intrigued me, and I am always a sucker for these types of stories but this one just didn't do it for me. So sadly by the time I reached the 50% mark I decided to not continue and move on from this one

This is such an interesting premise- Noah got into an accident and she (yes, she) was saved by her ex, Elliot, a firefighter, who also lost his sister in the same accident. We find out next that she loses 5 years of memory and within those 5 years, she lost contact with her parents, Elliot, his sister, Bailey, and she married 3 years past. She doesn't remember her husband and only wants to be with Elliot but what happens when her memory comes back?

While overall, I enjoyed this story, which I received from NetGalley, there were a few things that were jarring. The speech patterns were a little difficult to deal with consistently- Elliot is Irish and I assume, has Irish speech patterns? eg, lots of "ye" instead of you). Also, the story played out ok because I kind of had an idea of where things were going but I'm not sure that memory loss really forgives how she treated her husband. It was resolved in a good way though. This story also relies on flashbacks, which are not my favorite way to showcase the past but it was done in a way to continue to build the intrigue so I understand why it was done that way. Otherwise, it was fast moving, well-paced and a good story.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. It’s not one I would normally reach for as romance isn’t really my go to genre. However I am so glad I chose to read this, I loved the character development of Noah and how it flicked between five years ago and present day, especially considering she cannot remember anything that has happened within the last five years. I love her sense of self and how it develops slowly from being so attached to Elliot when she wakes up to gradually learning things on her own again. This book deals with both amnesia and domestic abuse really well and gives us the one thing we all truly want, a knight in shining armour! The character of Elliot was well written and provided enough for us all to fall a bit in love with him. This book was well written, fast paced and easy to read, would definitely recommend!

This book was a pretty good romantic suspense, but it could have definitely used more it the suspense! There are a lot of ups and downs emotionally and it ends with a HEA. I liked the writing and the characters a lot!

Loved it.... this is the type of read that just stays with you. Days after devouring this book I still feel the residual effects of the book hangover I got from this intense read.

What did I like? It’s been awhile since I picked up a book from this author but this book was amazing. Noah wakes up from a coma but her amnesia has her still with her ex from four years earlier. Can anybody say...awkward? She doesn’t remember her husband or that she hasn’t spoke to her parents but she still wants Elliot. So we go on a road to recovery with her not understanding what happened and her faith that she is supposed to be with Elliot and not her husband.

Would I buy or recommend? Yes. Yes. Yes. Book hangover my god. I loved it. Noah is an unfortunate name for a girl but after you get into the story you just don’t want to leave it. I won’t wait a long time to read the next by this author...five stars for a great hangover.

This book was just breathtaking. I smiled, I was sad, I cried and I laughed out loud. I was emotional, this book made me. I was feeling like I was a part of the story. Like I was in the middle of their story.....

Noah nad Elliott were inseparable, they always thought they would spend the rest of their lives together.

One day Noah awakes from coma and remembers Elliot as the one and only constant of her life at age of 24....four years ago... amnesia caused by bad car accident with brain injury.

What she wasn't able to remember her husband of 3 years. Nothing felt right, not his voice, not his touch, nothing ...nada.

While Noah and Elliot talked for hours and felt attracted to each other more than ever...Elliot was afraid what if she finally recalls what separated them after all?

This book was full of unexpected twists and I must admit I devoured it in just few hours because I simply couldn't stop reading.

Wow! This book is amazing from start to finish! Once I started reading, I just couldn’t put it down and often found myself wanting to read the end first, just to find out what would happen in the end! I felt like I just needed to know! The blurb is so cleverly written that it literally gives nothing away, no matter how many times you read it, honestly! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will definitely recommend it! Without any spoilers, I absolutely loved the end!
