My name is Lucy Tucker, and my life…it was perfect. 

I worked the dream job. I had the most incredible family and friends. My home, Whispering Willows, a ranch in Montana, was everything I could ever wish for. My adoring fiancé, Samuel Stone, loved me unconditionally. 

I had everything a girl could ever want. 

But one fateful event shattered my perfect life. It’s unimaginable how simple, ordinary words can change a person’s life forever. For me those words were, “There’s been an accident.”

I thought Sam was my forever, but that forever came to a close the day Saxon Stone, Sam’s identical twin brother, came back. Saxon returned to Montana to help save Sam, however, the moment he entered my life, he turned my world upside down. But through chaos I somehow found clarity—clarity of who I was meant to be. 

As time progressed, as seasons changed, and as a fire began to burn, I soon realized that Saxon was there for another reason…he was there to help save me.

They say you do not forget the love of your life, but what happens when the love of your life forgets you. Also they usually say that only we fall in love once and no matter what kind of obstacles you have, there will always be a way to be together, but when love is build by white lies and misunderstandings it tends to vanish like air.

Forgetting you, forgetting me is the first instalment of a new duet where Ms. James delivers an emotional story. Every minute of it was a squeeze to my heart. How well do we know the person we love? That is one of the questions I made to myself after reading this book.

The plot is really good. I felt sympathy for the characters. This book is a roll coaster of feelings which will leave you breathless. I have read Ms. James’ work before and I can say that her writing has improved pretty well. She moved smoothly from erotica to sweet-emotional-romance.

This is the story of Lucy, Sam and Saxon. A confusing love triangle where everything is not as it seems. Here the heroin has a rough start in life, feeling like trash until she was adopted. Lucy’s life will be seriously affected one more time. She was about to marry Sam, her first and only love, but he had an accident. He will be in comma for some time until he wakes up. 

During that period of time Saxon, Sam’s twin brother, comes back home to help his brother because Lucy asked his help. The problem is that he has a bad relationship with his parents and Sam. Being in the hospital is tiring but when the man you love is in comma it does not matter to stay as long as it takes. 

Because of the accident, Sam suffered brain damage which leads him to lose his memory. Things could not get any worse but they did. He does not remember Lucy. At some point of the story I realized that Sam didn’t want to remember Lucy because he did not really love her.

Lucy is a strong woman who will fight for their love but Sam will not make it easy for her. This is where Saxon’s visit represents a getaway for Lucy. Throughout Sam’s recovery, she will have an internal struggle with her feelings. Confused by Saxon’s attitude, she will discover her true feelings. Some omissions will break the tinny line of her first love. I guess Lucy is not so confused as it seems because her heart love the boy who lend her a book, the one who captured her heart is not the same who she thinks she loves.

This book is definitely full of surprises that enrich the plot of the story. This is not a cliché book. It has all the elements that you look in a good book. Forgetting you, forgetting me is a must read you won’t want to miss. I cried, laugh and wanted to punch something. I’m waiting patiently the conclusion of this duet.

Excerpt

“Let’s pretend tomorrow doesn’t exist.” Pressing his forehead to mine, he earnestly says, “Whatever happens now, it’ll just be memories from yesterday.” I can feel the tremble rumble throughout his entire body, and his uncertainty leaves me abandoning any lingering doubts. For this stolen moment in time, I just want to…feel.

Gently pushing on his bare, solid chest, he allows me to climb onto his lap as he nestles into the rocky terrain. Without a second thought, I wrap my legs around his waist and hold on tight, with no intention of ever letting go. His chest is rising and falling so quickly, I’m certain I can hear his heart hammering wildly within his body. The cadence matches mine as I seal my mouth around his. The touch of his full lips pressed to mine is complete perfection. But when he angles my mouth at the perfect slope and skillfully tangles my tongue with his, I know that this is nirvana.

The kiss at first is slow, like a roller coaster beginning its incline. But as we reach the pinnacle, it’s an exhilarating head rush of fast, breathtaking passion. When he senses me coyly opening up, lowering my guard and losing myself in the moment, he growls into my mouth. He dominates me with a fierce desire and in this moment, I am his.

I can’t keep up with the frantic pace, and finally, I surrender all I am. I allow him total control, melting when he sucks my bottom lip with a long, wet pull. I madly fuse our lips together, unable to get enough of this heady feeling, needing him to consume me, devour me, make me whole.
