  I really loved this book and especially the hero Coop, his nobleness and love for Kelsey which withstood the two years they were divorced.
  
  Coop goes to the hospital when he hears his ex-father-in-law say that Kelsey is hurt. That call makes him realize how empty his life his and how he still has deep feelings for Kelsey, who walked out on him after their baby died and she was told her chances of conceiving were all but gone.
  
  When he reaches there he is told that Kelsey's memory has holes and the only thing she wants is him. Despite his protests he agrees to not tell her, but it hurts him to pretend to be her husband because in his heart that is what he wants and seeing the love Kelsey has in her eyes makes keeping his distance difficult.
  
  He is patient with her when she gets frustrated over her inability to remember and tries like hell not to give in to her loving touches but after a while it becomes very difficult to resist.
  
  Honestly, Coop was a wonderful hero and we see how Kelsey loves him, so it was difficult to understand why she left him. I loved it when Kelsey realized how wrong she was to leave him because she thought it was right.
  
  And for fans of celibate heroes, it is referred often enough that there had been no-one else but Kelsey. Loved the whole emotion in the book.

  KNOCKED OUT!THE BEST AMNESIA BOOK for me
  
  Awesome Wonderful Heart-wrenching Intense Emotional Love story,loved Kelsey-Coop,my heart went out to Coop he is such a patient noble caring loving gentle man,he suffered so much pain-hurt when Kelsey walked out,when he accepted it and build his life fate brought him right back at it
  
  Now Kelsey has amnesia and she has forgotten the divorce-the death of their child and whatever happened after divorce in 2 years,its really difficult for Coop but he comes for Kelsey,the amnesia is like a second chance for them they mourn the death of their son,talk out the issues and why Kelsey walked out.Kelsey also realises and accepts her mistake.As the story developes all the issues are dealt with and progressed really well towards the HEA
  
  Its a KEEPER for me,i wanna rate this 10/10,Coop is on my "Most favourite hero"shelf,readers who are sucker for second chance at love & amnesia theme its a must read
  Recommend it

  I thought the premise seemed to promise all sorts of angsty goodness, but it was somewhat disappointing. Mostly this was because of the heroine, who starts off the book in her amnesiac state. She comes across as this breathy, moany invalid - everyone loves her, but you don't really see a personality that would inspire this. As the book advances, she's all over the place - still breathy, but with some annoying characteristics like temper tantrums and irrationality thrown in.
  
  On a side note, there was a TV show from my childhood - it might have been Newhart - that had a one-time character who was a romance novelist. She claimed (very dramatically) that she never wrote about anything except what she herself had experienced. This really impressed everyone else because of the amazing adventurous quality of the books she wrote. Eventually, someone walks in on the author while she's "experiencing" an avalanche or a jungle attack or something in her hotel room - as the heroine.
  
  The heroine of this book reminded me of this - she's not exactly a Mary Sue, but she seems like a fantasy of a person who would like to be like that.
  
  The hero is a lovely hero - always doing the kind and loving thing, never stopped loving, etc. etc. He just gives up easily - all the power is the heroine's. And he doesn't really seem to have any interests or friends.
  
  And the resolution. Wow - quick. She remembers why they're divorced, freaks, and leaves. He just feels sad. Then people remind her that he must really love her, and she basically says, "Oh yeah. I'm a jerk." Then she returns, bakes for him, and he's really happy to see her. The end. I guess I've seen actual marriages between people, where one of the couple seems really nice and the other one seems really vapid. I couldn't understand how it worked, but it seemed to for them. I just don't really enjoy that in a novel.

  Recuerdos dormidos
  
  Protagonistas: Cooper Reed y Kelsey Reed
  Argumento:
  
  Cuando Kelsey Reed despertó del coma, sólo deseaba estar con su marido, Cooper. Pero todo el mundo parecía sorprenderse de su petición y la miraba como si se hubiera vuelto loca. Incluso el mismo Cooper la trataba como a una perfecta desconocida. La joven intentaba tranquilizarse pensando que todo volvería a la normalidad cuando estuviera en casa, pero tenía la impresión de que estaba pasando algo por alto... Amnesia. Kelsey no sólo había olvidado que ella y Cooper se habían divorciado dos años atrás, también había olvidado que había sido ella quien lo había abandonado. Pero los médicos habían advertido a Cooper de que Kelsey aún no estaba preparada para enfrentarse a la realidad, y que debía fingir que seguía viviendo con una mujer que había dejado de ser su esposa, pero a la que todavía amaba...

  Didn't actually read this but read several great reviews and it sounds good. I'm trying not to read category romances anymore or else I'd read this one!

  It was pretty good, typical girl with amnesia story. I liked the characters in the book but thought the hero spent TOO MUCH time feeling bad for doing the right thing medically speaking.

  This is alright. The hero is a very solid guy and a great partner. And the heroine realizing what she did and making amends. She wasn't wrong she was just in so much pain that she couldn't be a good spouse. Glad it all worked out. I say read it.

  I am giving it 4 stars because I liked the heroine Kelsey a lot, but only the one after Amneisa- the cheerfull wife who loves her husband dearly. The depressing heroine who divorced he husband and tried to repeat the same mistake when her memories returned I didn't like. If it wasn't for the psychiatrist showing Kelsey a mirror, our couples might have to wait for a long long time to get their happy ending. The funnist part was "I loved him a lot, so I let him go" then the contradicting "He let me go, he doesn't love me, you don't let go the one you love", ridiculously funny.
