  I was fully prepared to love this but I felt liked it was kind of all over the place at first. Once I got past the first 20% it was good, but then it got chaotic again sadly. I expected a “Leftover with Benefits” quality but sadly this one missed the mark for me. I will say I appreciated the H and h’s sense of humor though. I had some genuine laughs!

  This is an amnesia-themed romance that focuses on Harmony, a hospital administrator and former nurse, and Ethan, who is a very rich manwhore and an all around a**hole. Harmony is strong in many ways, dedicated to her profession, and she’s often very quick-witted with the comeback. She’s a likable character, and I respect and applaud Harmony for her dedication to her profession. On the other hand, Ethan is a character that lacks any appealing qualities. As the story proceeds, he is involved in a horrific car accident and suffers a traumatic brain injury that causes amnesia. As a result, a seemingly different, polar opposite of the rich, spoiled, hedonistic Ethan emerges—but it’s not for long before his a**hole colors start to show.
  
  For the most part, I enjoyed the book 1) once the salient aspects of the plot were divulged; and 2) after a more thorough understanding of the dynamics involving the main characters and their motivations are revealed much later in the book. In this respect, more complete backstories of Ethan and Harmony would have really augmented the story.
  
  Similarly, while the plot structure is creative, the way the fundamental elements unfold is problematic. For more than half of the book, important foundational components are missing, and major topic points haven’t yet been disclosed. As a consequence, certain key references are confusing and significant conversations between Ebony, Ethan, and secondary characters are baffling and difficult to decipher without further details. In this regard, sharper execution and restructuring of the plot in conjunction with more overall cohesiveness would optimize the enjoyment of the book.
  
  As a whole, until important events were disclosed, I kept thinking that I’d missed something. Subsequently, however, as pertinent and requisite aspects of the plot are finally unfurled, I was able to correlate all the prior missing components, and I was able to derive some pleasure from the story. IMO, with some reworking of the plot, I believe it would be a very enjoyable read, especially for those who love this subject-matter.

  3.25 Stars. (BW/WM). Kindle Unlimited Edition e-book. This is a so-so read. The story begins with some useless information: The heroine's twin sister attracts rich white men and plays them, the heroine is awful at skating, injured a white child when in forth grade and decided not to skate again until her 30th birthday. The hero, Ethan Hawthorne, is a billionaire womanizing trust fund recipient and baby brother to his paternal twin sister. The heroine, Harmony Rhoades-Hawthorne, is an administrative nurse at a geriatric clinic and is one of a pair of identical twins. Ethan and Harmony meet when Ethan's father becomes a patient of Harmony's. Ethan and Harmony enter into a dubious marriage contract after the death Ethan's father because he names Harmony executor of his assets totaling 13 billion dollars. In order to gain control of these assets, Ethan has to marry Harmony within a year of the probation of the will and must remain married for five years. Harmony is to relinquish the assets and accept a billion dollar pay off. Following a car accident, Ethan is hospitalized with a server head injury and recovers with retrograde amnesia. Harmony leaves her live-in boyfriend to be at Ethan's side, her boyfriend issues an ultimatum and vacates the apartment. Harmony becomes moves in with Ethan to help him as he regains his memory; but her passive aggressive accusatory condemnation and sanctimonious attacks regarding his philandering ways is hypocritical when she's had a live-in beau and miscarried. She hems and haws and wants and don't want and is hurt because of her insecurities. In the end, they work things out but the story is all over the place and by the end as a reader, I didn't care what happened.

  I liked Harmony and “Blank slate” Ethan, but they really didn’t know much about each other. I wish I would’ve gotten to see them learn about each other more.
  
  If you suspended your belief, the plot was workable, but it seemed too much that all that drama surrounding the will agreement. Honestly, there was really no reason to lie, and the ones she came up with were hilariously ridiculous. She really could’ve just said, so, we’re married in name only and I felt really bad you got hurt so I’m here. Let’s be friends.
  
  I did love the way Ethan fought for their relationship though based on her made up story. Freaking adorable!

  Good Read!!
  
  
  
  
  
  So, I really loved the plot. The story for the most part was good. It was just at times I was confused as to what was really going on? Like when they had a argument after he came to her job then end up kissing and going with him for the weekends. Then the matter of their feelings i was lost a little close to the end but i really liked the story.

  Bravo!!!
  
  I loved this book. It had everything. It wasn't what I call "instalove" I wish they had had identical twins...lol. Since both of them were from a set of twins. Great job!!! I love sex scenes. Not necessarily a big fan of erotica , especially when there's no real storyline

  Ms Donley writes with style and wit. The humor is clever and the dialogue flows naturally. The characters are well developed and fascinating. The amnesia element was used well. I highly recommend this book.

  Amazing
  
  I absolutely loved this book! It was such a feel good read. CL Donley is amazing at what she does, and this is yet another book to prove it.
  Ethan and Harmony got together as a means to an end, but learned after tragedy struck they were meant for soo much more. They were complete opposites and virtually strangers until Ethan was in a car accident. From there the story truly unfolds and we get to see them both find what they were to blind or to afraid to see…
