📖 I received a gifted e-book ARC. The following is my honest review✍🏻

This was a fun stand-alone romance that started from a bit of an over-the-top place (amnesia) but still ended up being a thoroughly enjoyable slow burn second-chance romance.

I loved Callum, his optimism and doubts, and his absolute steadfast devotion to Alice. While Alice wasn’t as lovable, she was absolutely relatable with her uncertainty as she tried to rebuild her life and reconcile what she remembered with what she forgot. Two great characters that you root for throughout!

What I loved about this:
✔️ second chance romance
✔️ slow burn romance
✔️ childhood enemies- to-friends -to- lovers
✔️ relatable characters

Rachel Dove is a new-to-me author but I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more from her!

Is it the end of their love story or just the beginning?

Callum Roberts and Alice McClaren have spent two wonderful years building a life and a home and making plans for a future together. But when Alice is involved in a car crash, Callum fears that he has lost her forever. As he sits by her bedside he promises he’ll do anything if only she’ll open her eyes…

But when Alice does finally wake up, she has absolutely no memory of being in love with Callum or the life they once shared. In fact, all she remembers about him is how incredibly annoying he once was! How can she have forgotten him if she really did love him so deeply?

Callum is determined to prove to Alice that what they had was special, so he makes her a deal: he’ll recreate their first ten dates and make her fall in love with him all over again!

Alice isn’t sure Callum can fill in all the gaps in their story. And what if going back to the start only means the end?
