I got a little annoyed at that part because Christian was amnesiac and had no way to know those things. But Grayson very mad at Christian because before he became amnesiac, because Grayson thought that Christian cheated on him and also Christian was the one who broke up with Grayson the first time and he didn’t tell Grayson why. I liked their dynamic and I liked their banter.

Second, I’ve been on a massive second chance romance kick lately and at first I really enjoyed the romance aspect in this book.

When I read a book about a character being amnesiac, I want it to be focused on that and the guy having to dig deep and find all the clues so he can piece who he really is and sadly thats just not what I got here. I just wanted more of the amnesiac trope. They banter and try to find who wants to hurt Christian, but mostly, they banter.įirst, the blurb of this book promised me an amnesiac guy figuring out his life through lies and deceit and instead of that, I got an amnesiac guy trying to figure out one side plot as the rest of the informations needed were easily supplied by different side characters and he didn’t have to work to find them. Christian escapes from the hospital and Grayson brings him to live with him. Grayson comes to see him in the hospital and he is very cold, turns out they had broken up 4 years ago and that Grayson is angry with Christian and that Grayson has a new boyfriend. Sadly the execution of this book just wasn’t what I wanted it to be.Ĭhristian Cross wakes up in the hospital, he was shot and had parts of his body modified (like they removed his finger prints and changed his teeth around so they wouldn’t be indenfied and they changed his face too) and he cannot remember most of his life, the only thing he remembers is his boyfriend, Grayson. And the blurb of this book promised me a lot of deceit, which is one of my favourite trope in books. I was so interested in the idea of it and I love amnesia plot lines in books because I just love unreliable narrators that have no idea about many things in the world and have to figure everything out based on the clues given to them. I will admit I skimmed the scenes close to cheating as I absolutely cannot read about anything related to cheating, so I really would have appreciated knowing that it would be coming.Īs soon as I read the blurb for this book, I just had to read it. There is no trigger warning in this book and they would have been really appreciated. Also there is a scene that gets really close to cheating at some point and some emotional cheating. Trigger warnings: A lot of the plot of this book revolves around the possibility of cheating.
