Bittersweet Memories (Off-Limits)

Product Information

I also found myself a bit bored during the second half of the book, and the whole brother being in love with Alanna storyline was super annoying to me. I wished that the brother kept to his previous words about using Alanna, because I was so frustrated that the problem was a love triangle instead of her simply having amnesia. I think that's also just me hating on love triangles, so it's definitely a personal preference thing lol. I dnf'd this book after about 5 chapters, but briefly read the conversations between the MCs for another couple of chapters. Zane Windsor always loved the way Celeste Harrison’s eyes light up when he infuriates her. It just took him years to realize that what he felt for his childhood rival wasn’t hatred. First of all, I was not expecting the amnesia plot and I wasn't that upset about it. I've never read a story where the character had gotten amnesia so I was intrigued and open-minded. I didn't so much mind the fact that she was with Silas's brother, because the girl's got amnesia, she doesn't know better. Plus, her mind went with someone the most similar to Silas. The part that felt extremely out of character though, was Silas being with another woman all while obsessively looking for his "soulmate". To me, it cheapened his passion for her and made it feel like he wasn't as into her and he kept stating. I know it's probably petty of me to think, but part of me hoped he'd stay celibate during their years apart, it would have made their relationship look much stronger to me, especially since he was again, searching for her this entire time.

I didn't waste enough of my time to find out whether they get together when she's 18... but I don't need to read it to know what's going to happen.

I recently binged the whole series and was looking forward to this one as I feel like each book in the series got better and better! And that was definitely true with this book, I loved it.

Thankfully, she was married to a man that did not believe in such a defeatist mindset. He challenged her to publish just one novel and she took up the challenge and published her debut in 2020. Catharina Maura is a USA Today bestselling author best known for her very popular billionaire romance novels that come with a hint of the forbidden. Her life is upended when she gets some devastating news while she was at work. It only gets worse when she goes home to discover her boyfriend had been a philandering scoundrel and that she has lost her home. Nonetheless, the best way of getting hold of Catharina Maura is by subscribing to her newsletter where she provides information on new releases and bonus content for published works. However, the easiest way to get hold of her is to join the mailing list that she publishes every month. In her newsletter, readers can usually get news of opportunities for bonus content and new releases before they become public knowledge.We see Alanna and Silas first meet when they’re both teenagers, after his father’s recent death Silas becomes homeless and living in a shelter. He and Alanna become fast friends and we see them really connect over the next few years. When Alanna’s father ends up passing away as well and insurance fraud comes into play, she finds herself moving into the shelter too. I loved seeing Alanna and Silas fall for one another, their friendship and then romance was so sweet to see and I just believed in their connection right away. When Alanna ends up getting into a car accident and losing her memories, the story definitely takes a turn!
