/> Helen Renault has started her life over thinking that her Navy SEAL husband Gabe was dead, but when Gabe returns he seems different and more caring, until the memory of the past three years starts to come back to him.

I really liked most of this book. I liked the hero who couldn't remember his family. His struggles to become a better father and husband the second time around were well done. His struggles with PTSD were also well done and interesting. I liked the dynamic between him and his step daughter. He was coming back blind into a situation that wasnt' ideal the first time around. The book succeeded for me pretty much all around until the end. Then it was just chock full of improbably military stuff. Too bad that was the last thing you read and it kind of left a 'yeah right' sour taste in my mouth.

Still I've gone on to read the rest of the series and have basically enjoyed all of them. Too bad the series is no longer continuing. ( )

Suzanne Brockmann wannabe. Has a series of 3 or 4 Navy seals books out. Not the writer Brockmann is. ( )

Forget Me Not
3 Stars

Suffering from amnesia following his capture and escape after a mission gone wrong, Navy SEAL Gabe Renault returns home to a wife and daughter who are virtual strangers. Believing her husband dead, Helen Renault has moved on with her life and is shocked and distraught not only by his return, but by the changes in his personality. No longer distant and cold, Gabe is a new man who can easily make her love him again. However, Gabe’s memories are slowly returning and a traitor will stop at nothing to ensure that they don’t …

Melton’s writing style is fast paced and immersive, and the suspense plot is satisfying. That said, Helen is one of the most selfish and self-absorbed heroines I’ve ever had the misfortune to encounter and her attitude all but ruins the book.

Although it is made clear that Gabe and Helen’s marriage wasn’t all roses and it is understandable that she would be upset by his sudden reappearance, these do not explain or excuse her cold-hearted spite and even anger that the man is still alive. Helen’s deliberate attempts to cause Gabe pain and her inability to believe that someone is after him make it virtually impossible to believe their romance. Gabe is not entirely blameless in all this, in fact, he initially comes across as arrogant and shallow. Nevertheless, it is clear that he is a changed man and deserves a woman who doesn’t regret that he isn’t dead.

Thankfully, the amnesia/assassin storyline is intense and exciting enough to mitigate the awful romance to a certain extent. There is some excellent misdirection in this area, which leads to a twist that I didn’t see coming even though in hindsight there are several obvious clues.

The supporting characters also compensate for the annoying heroine. Gabe’s stepdaughter, Mallory, is utterly charming and their relationship is the best part of the book. The secondary romance between Helen’s friend, Leila, and the Master Chief is sweet and sexy.

In sum, Forget Me Not has potential but Helen's attitude is so off-putting that it ruins the romance. I’m willing to give the next book a chance as it continues the storyline and has a different, and hopefully more likable heroine. ( )

Exciting beginning to this enjoyable fast paced action packed romantic suspense. I could understand both sides of the hero and heroine's struggle with their relationship. SEAL Gabe returns home with amnesia to find his marriage with Helen was on the rocks.

Good plot even if it did make me cringe that some of the Navy's finest turned out to be anything but. I empathized with Helen's turmoil, even if some of her reasoning were rather harsh. I didn't really like the fact that it took Gabe almost dying all over again before she came to her senses. I didn't like her friend Leila at all. While I can appreciate a female bond of friendship as a source of strength and understanding, I felt that Leila overstepped her bounds so many times. Since she only had Helen's side of the story, she naturally sided with her friend in solidarity (and let's not forget that she herself is a woman scorned, so of course she's a man hater). I would have liked her better had she not always enforced Helen's determination to push Gabe out of her life once and for all. Helen has a child who obviously adored Gabe. Leila should have taken that into consideration. And when Leila confessed to an involvement with Sebastian, well then she turned into a hypocrite.

Mallory was a great character. I think she stood out the most as the most compassionate and level-headed amongst all the silly grown ups.

The plot was good and a bit terrifying, but I loved Gabe's turnaround and he put his second chance at life and love to very good use. I'll definitely continue with this series.
