It was . . . Fine?
Eh, I've read better from Ally Carter. Which is a shame because I think her first Adult novel should be at least on par with her YA fare even if it's not better.
A book with this premise lives and dies on romance but this was a dud for me. I just couldn't buy Love from this couple. Infatuation? Attraction? Yes. But world shattering, quit my job, my life would suck without you Love? Sorry, not feeling it.
By the end of the book I wasn't reading for enjoyment so much as just wanting to know the answers to FMC's amnesia. Which at least is a testament to Carter's talent as a writer that I didn't just skim through and jump to the end.
