Italian billionaire Lorenzo Tassini is almost free of the woman who had nearly driven him to the edge of despair: his wife, Brooke. Lorenzo had been immediately attracted to Brooke’s beauty and charisma, but he had soon learnt that beneath the sophisticated and glittering façade his wife liked to present to the world lay a woman who was selfish, inconsiderate, ruthless and who cared about nothing and nobody other than herself. Driven by money, fame and other people’s slavish adoration of her, Brooke had made his life a misery, but now that she has finally consented to signing the divorce papers, Lorenzo is finally free of the shackles binding him to the woman he had almost grown to hate. Yet, when one day he hears news that his wife is in hospital after barely surviving a car crash, Lorenzo knows that his place is by his wife’s side and that he will do whatever it takes to ensure that her every need is catered for. When Brooke comes round from all the tests and operations, she is unable to remember her name, let alone that she has a husband, leaving Lorenzo with no other choice but to forget about their divorce and care for his wife.

Brooke seems to be much changed by her accident. Not only is she struggling to remember anything about her life, but her personality has been transformed overnight. The cold-hearted and devious bride Lorenzo married is now a sweet, generous and gentle woman who stirs something deep within him he hasn’t felt for a very long time. With fate having pushed them together yet again in the most unlikely of circumstances, Lorenzo begins to fall in love with his wife. The sensual chemistry between them skyrockets and Lorenzo and Brooke quickly find themselves giving into their feelings for one another. However, Lorenzo is shocked to his very core when he discovers that the woman wearing his wedding ring is a virgin!

Lorenzo is determined to uncover the secrets of the woman he has taken to his bed. The woman he has fallen madly in love with again. But who is this woman calling herself Brooke Tassini?

This was such an awesome Sunday afternoon read. I love the way Lynne Graham developed the characters. It was a story of love, family, friendship and forgiveness. Thank you so much to Lynne Graham, Harlequin and NetGalley for an advanced copy to read and review.

It was a fast, easy romantic read. I loved Lorenzo and Milly together. I loved the ending and how everything turned out. I felt this was a feel-good romance. I didn’t like Brooke’s character at all, but I don’t believe we were supposed to. She was selfish and only cared about herself, didn’t even care about her half-sister, who so desperately wanted her to love her. I loved this book and its characters. I highly recommend it. Great summer read.

Will I read more by this author? Yes

First off I want to thank Harlequin for the invite to read and review it , its the first time I've read anything by this author and i finished it in a day and half , couldn't stop reading once I started it because it remind me some what of the old harlequin romance that my grandmother use to read and the ones that got me into read romance. Another thing I loved about the story was it made you wounder ( at least it did me) which of the women actually made it from the car crash.So if you love books like this pick up a copy and read it for yourself.Another i want to say is thanks to NetGalley for aslso letting me read it .

This is Milly and Lorenzo’s story. There was a terrible car accident. One woman is dead the other in a coma. The one in the coma wakes up and has amnesia. The story is a women’s climb to rebuild her life with her husband without her memory. The story was enthralling.

When two strangers meet under straining circumstances, can they make things work together ...

I was looking for a short read and this one was awaiting me for some days.
It is a sweet and fast paced read of two persons who would never have meet if not for the manipulative person who played with their feelings.
Milly/Brooke used to play her half sister’s games, feeling guilty for her parents relationship. And if not for the car crash, it would have been her last time falling in her sibling’s web.
But now she awakens in a strange place, with an unfamiliar man, and she is said he is her husband.
Lorenzo was blinded by his wife beauty, why he didn’t saw at first how Brooke played him. So when is soon-to-be-ex wife comes back a very different woman, he does not know how to react. This new Brooke is everything he had wanted his wife to be. But what if it is a ruse, what if when she gets her memories back, she reverts to her old self.

So when Lorenzo tries to keep her at arms length, Brooke wants only to save her marriage as she is falling for this stranger who is so full of contradictions. But when the past collides with the present, what future will they have.

A lovely read with a bit of steam and two people who get to know one another by correcting their past mistakes.
4,5 stars, as as much I was angry at Lorenzo first reaction to the truth, I also understood his position, a bit of groveling could have been nice instead of the all caveman attitude but it was cute.

I was granted an advance copy by the publisher Harlequin, here is my true and unbiased opinion.

This. Was. A. Fabulous. Read. Pinot and this book goes fabulous together....if your pairing. Loved it. So car accident...wrong girl identified... marriage.

What did I like? Only these Harlequin novels can grab me and give me a twirl. Lust...money...pleasure... it’s all here. Grab it and get your fill.

Would I buy or recommend? Yesssss....giiiirrrrrllll. Lorenzo is a banker but his soul calls for this girl. You can’t go wrong with a Harlequin.... you just can’t. HEA’s galore.

Thoughts for the author.... quickie but a good one... loved it.

Lynne Graham has been one of my favorite Harlequin writers because of stories like "The Innocent's Forgotten Wedding". This story is so sweet and poignant, both Lorenzo and his love interest have been through so much and they are both looking for love, unfortunately, the person that they were hoping would love them was not able to love anyone, but after some heartache, they both find what they need in each other. I loved this story and I could not put it down till the very last page!
