This is the last book in The Million Dollar Men series by Leanne Banks. From the other two books we know that Dylan and Alisa have known each other almost all of their lives. They were sweethearts in their teens and lovers in their college years. Something happened at college that drove them apart, but Dylan has continued to try and win back Alisa's love with no luck.

Now Alisa has amnesia from a serious car accident that she almost died from. Dylan remains at Alisa's side and when she is released from the hospital Dylan takes Alisa to his home to recover. Dylan knows that Alisa will regain her memory and hate him again, but for now he vows to remain her friend and help her. The only problem is Alisa feels very attracted to Dylan, but he does not want to take advantage of her. He knows that not only will she hate him more when she regains her memory, but it will be harder for him to go on without her if he makes love to her. Dylan is no Boy Scout and can only takes so much of Alisa and her persistent ways. But when Alisa regains her memory--watch out!

I liked this story. The only problem I had is the 'situation' that occured at college EIGHT years earlier that Alisa is determined to use to keep Dylan out of her life and heart. Dylan is a great guy and I though he deserved another chance to show her the man that he is now.

I have this book. It is an incredible love story. I especially love the plot of a millionaire who falls in love with a college sweetheart who has amnesia from an auto accident. A great story.

Amnesia is a shopworn platform for romance. It's been done by most every high production writer in the business (by that I mean those who stick with less than 200 pages and put out 2 or more works a year--hacks). Banks manages to handle it well enough. One of the turns of this type of plot is, "ooooh is she gonna be mad when she gets her memory back!" But she is not overly mad, and not mad overly long. For that reason--for the fact that the heroine has a much more plausible return to reason once she has weathered a near death experience and loss of memory--I give this 3 and 1/2 stars. And if I didn't have higher expectations for this particuolar writer, I'd be tempted to rate the work a little higher.

One of the "Million Dollar Men" series. If you read one of them, then you've read them all. Same plot just changed the names.
