The Cowboy's Forgetful Bride by Leslie North

2.0

This book was just not my cup of tea or maybe I wasn't on the right headspace to read it, regardless I couldn't love it.

The major thing this book lacked for me was depth, I truly don't know much about the characters except for superficial levels of their personalities and backgrounds and that stopped me from feeling anything regarding their relationship or each of them as individuals. And for me knowing the characters and the reasons why they do certain things is what makes a book enjoyable.

Moreover, we don't actually get to see their relationship grow. This book starts when Bella loses her memory and wakes up married to Sawyer who then has to help her remember him and the business they created. But there's never a flirty factor between them, I thought Sawyer would have to try harder to win Bella back again but what we saw was that he really didn't put that much effort. It felt as if someone was pushing two pieces (that didn't match) of a puzzle together and I didn't see their chemistry.

Also, since the fact that Bella loses her mind is the premise of the book I thought it was going to be much more important than it was. Instead, she doesn't seem very worried about it and just accepts what everyone says without questioning much, which I don't know how normal that would be.
