Gone without a trace. For Matt, it is his wife who has disappeared. For Andrea, it is her memory.
When Andrea wakes up in an LA hospital, all she has are a few memories of her accident: pouring rain, gripping mud, and the terror of the flood. Rescued by her parents, Esther and Jack, she is given a chance at a new lifea life without a history. Most of her joy comes from her music and the success of her albums. As Andrea rises to fame, the memories of her past continue to hover just out of reach. When her parents refuse to give her answers, she decides to take control. But how can she find answers when she doesn’t even know where to look?
Hundreds of miles away, Matt knows that he needs to forget about the wife he lost and concentrate on himself and his son. After a year of searching, he is still left wondering what happened to her. He knows that for the sake of his family he needs to move on, and with the help of Georgette, a lovely coworker, he begins to feel hope that perhaps one day life will be back to normal.
Eternal love can never be completely forgotten, however, and as Andrea and Matt each uncover the truth, they find that they are meant to be togetherbut the road back will be more difficult than either could have imagined.
Reviews-
Andrea wakes up in a hospital in Los Angeles with no memories of who she is or how she came to be there. Esther and Jack, her parents, reintroduce her to a life where no previous memories exist. Her only happiness is her music, and with her music she becomes a success. However, she feels there must be more.
Matt has spent a year searching for the wife that abandoned him and his son. He knows he needs to forget her and go on, and seeing her in Las Vegas gives him the desire to move ahead with his life.
This book was a bit emotional. That is to say, I experienced all emotions while reading it. I really don't want to give anything away so I will try not to be too descriptive. I read this book very slowly and savored it. I wasn't sure through most of the book what I was hoping would happen. But I wanted love to triumph and I couldn't figure out if it would. My one minor complaint was the development of some of the characters. I had remaining unanswered questions about most of them - but especially Rick. What was the purpose of his personal vendetta against Andrea? It just didn't make sense to me. However, I loved the spiritual growth that Matt experienced, and I loved the unpredictability of the whole story. The author did a great job of pulling you in and making you think. I pondered on whether I would be the same person I am, without the memories that make up my life. I would like to hope so.

Once I started to read Forgotten Love, I couldn't put it down. It is so easy to feel for the characters as adversity strikes and as miracles happen. It is a moving story with the importance of love in the family at the core.
I really enjoyed this book. I started it late one night and couldn't put it down until 6am! It is a compelling story that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the sweet ending. I could not help but love the characters and feel concerned for them. The author had a way of putting me in the story. I also appreciate the concept of having a clean romance novel to read. It had nothing inappropriate, and it wasn't cheesy either. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I thought this was a very gripping novel. I couldn't put it down. The author used her own touch to create this story, and did not copy cat anyone. I must say I would buy another book written by this author! Good job Kara Hunt!
