Book Description

Series: Silhouette Special Edition | Publication Date: September 1, 2009

Melanie Wysh wasn't one to wallow in heartbreak. So when her husband served her with divorce papers with no warning and disappeared, she took a new job in a new state. And met a new man--her therapy client Rolland Jones. Rolland was new in more ways than one: after a car accident, he required extensive reconstructive surgery and it had left him with no memory.

It was up to Melanie to rebuild this brave, beautiful man's mind. And soon Rolland was rebuilding her heart. Melanie knew these familiar feelings of love were forbidden for a client. Yet Rolland was the second chance she was looking for--in ways that would shock her to her very soul....

I thought this was an interesting concept for a book(tbi) and she seems to have done her research about it but other than that,, the book was bad. I did not like the heroine at all I thought she was kind of wimpy The hero was the only think I kind of liked aboout the book. I just did not like I never finished it except reading the last page.

3.0 out of 5 stars Definite Potential...BUT Lacking, September 19, 2009

This book received such GREAT reviews and it's a HIGHLY recommended read...so, I just knew I was going to ENJOY it...however, it didn't meet my expectations...it's just an OKAY read for me...however, I will say the BEST part of the story is Rolland Jones and his struggles with TBI...despite his condition he is the most ENGAGING character in this story...there are quite a few HUMOROUS moments...some brief romantic scenes...and even some TOUCHING moments throughout...and the concept is DEFINITELY intriguing; it had potential...it just feels like some SIGNIFICANT details are left out...and if they were addressed and/or executed differently it would have made this a more SATISFYING read.

OMG!!! This book was so good. I loved that fact that Ms Green took a serious story of a man with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and put a humorous spin to it that did not distract from the seriousness of his injury.

Rolland Jones was a man severely injured in a car accident. Melanie Wysh-Bishop was a recent divorcee hired to help he rehabilitate so that he could rejoin society. Melanie appeared to have it all, but one day out of the blue her husband of six years serves her with divorce papers and disappears. The opportunity to work at Ryder Rehabilitation center is just the break she needs to move on with her life and put the past behind her. Rolland has no idea who he really is or whether he has a family somewhere in the world. The only thing he knows is nobody has tried to find him. Due to an unfortunate fire at Ryder's, Melanie and Rolland are given the opportunity to privately on Rolland's rehabilitation. Melanie tries to fight her attraction, because it is unethical for a therapist to become romantically involved with a patient. Rolland's mental disability won't allow him to understand why they can't be together and he refuses to be brushed off.

Although this was a Silhouette book, which means it was only 216 pages, Ms. Green makes every page count. There was a wonderful selection of supporting characters that added charm to the overall story. I found myself laughing out loud so many times, I just knew the people around me thought I was crazy. The love that grew between Rolland and Melanie was so warm, honest and touching, that I could actually feel the pangs in my own heart. It made me believe that not even a brain injury can keep true soul mates apart. I simply loved it!
