Amnesia isn't usually my trope as I can find it quite frustrating but that definitely wasn't the case with this. It was such a cute fluffy read. If you're looking for something light and easy, this is the book for you!

Light-hearted. Sweet. Funny. It was a good fluff book. I like spicier books so this isn't my favorite, but I did really enjoy this as a quick-read.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Meyer and Archie. They were once married but now are divorced. But one day Meyer gets a phone call, stating her husband has been in a plane crash. He can not remember his past two years and has them call his wife. Sometimes it is great to have a do over. They fall in live.

This story really interested me when I read the blurb. This was also my first Carina Taylor book. I wasn't expecting it to be actually so deep because it dealt with such topics as substance abuse and assault. But I really liked that and that made me more invested in the story.
Overall a really emotional and captivating book. Definitely will be checking out more of Carina Taylor's books.

If I'm being honest, I was a bit leary when I found out this was a romcom centered around someone with amnesia. The stories in that trope can sometimes be unrealistic and a bit ridiculous in my opinion. However, I have enjoyed the other books I have read by this author so I decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. This was a fun second chance romance between Archie and Meyer who used to be married to one another. The story is complete with chemistry and fun banter made even better by the fact they had once been in love. Through a series of events, Archie ends up with amnesia and the hospital calls Meyer to come get him. Archie has no recollection of them ever having gotten divorced so Meyer takes him home to help him recover. I really liked both characters and I appreciated how the author showed how they had grown while they were apart which helped the readers have hope for their future relationship.

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for a copy of this book. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

This was a sweet second chance romance with Hallmark vibes. There was a great balance of drama and humour and I didn't find it too annoying, just a little. I did think the one big fight being the erase for their divorce was a bit unrealistic and the FMC annoyed me in some parts of the book. The ending felt very rushed and I would have wished for it to be a bit smoother. Overall it was a cute read if not a bit too slow for my liking.

4/5 stars

I received an ARC of this book, and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was such a fun read! I read through this book in one sitting, and it was enjoyable from beginning to end. I laughed out loud several times and adored these characters, especially Meyer! I was really rooting for her and Archie to work things out.

After an accident leaves Archie with amnesia, his ex-wife Meyer is left to take care of him. Unfortunately, he still believes they're married, while Meyer is all too aware of the fact they divorced—and why. This leads to all kinds of awkwardness, and poor Meyer is left trying to deal with both her business and Archie's recovering memory.

Both Meyer and Archie are likeable characters. I loved their interactions, and their relationship seemed really sweet. Their banter and flirting sold me on their relationship, and I was hoping for a HEA!

I would definitely recommend this to rom-com fans! If you enjoy fun romances with tropes like second chance romance, enemies-to-lovers, or amnesia, you should try this book!

Content: some language, no sex but be prepared for sexual tension between the main characters

This book hit me with the feels. I wanted a wholesome second chance romance, and that´s exactly what I got. I was fully invested into the life of these characters and I was rooting for some cute moments between them all the time. The pacing was perfect and I couldn´t ask for anything more at the end. One of the cutest books I read in 2022.

I’m usually not a big fan of second chance stories. But I liked the original storyline the author chose.
The story has a good pacing and it was an easy read.
Because of the amnesia plot there were multiple funny and awkward situations!
The characters and their feelings where very relatable and had some depth as well.
It wasn’t only funny scenes, but also scenes where the characters where sad or doubtful or confused. I liked those little layers…
The character growth was also nicely done.
I liked the small grump vs sunshine vibe with Meyer being a bit grumpy and understandably cautious and reserved and Archie being this sweet, disarming golden retriever.
There was absolutely chemistry between Archie and Meyer! I like the fact that it’s a closed door read but still has all this sizzle and sparkle ;) They were cute together!
The secondary characters absolutely added to the fun and the story.
I would have loved a dual POV though.
In the end it was a mostly light, funny and heart-warming romantic comedy and I really enjoyed reading it! I would definitely read another book from Carina Taylor.


Thank you Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op and Carina Taylor for the e-arc!

This was one that I found quite unique as a lot of amnesia based tropes aren't often written in traditionally published books anymore so it was nice to find a book that reflected this. I'm also a sucker for second chance romances as well.

What a great book! This book was fast paces and was simple to finish. I basically enjoyed this book.
especially considering how much I adored the two main characters. It was nice to read this, especially if you desire to avoid your commitments. Despite the obvious plot, it provided me with the comfort I needed!

A second chance at love rom com. Archie and Myer got divorced a year ago. Meyer instigated the divorce. Archie has amnesia after a plane crash and thinks they are still married. Meyer agrees to care for him until he gets his memory back.

Lots of amusing moments as both characters get to know each other again and show how they have grown and developed as people over the past year.

An amusing, fun read. Would have liked a bit more detail about their back story.

I wasn't expecting a second chance romance, but the title should have given me a hint.

Anyway, this was probably one of the most uninteresting books I've ever read. Like the characters are so dry and lacking in substance.

Meet Archie. Archie has amnesia.
Meet Meyer. Meyer has divorced Archie a year ago.
Plot twist: Archie thinks he is still married to Meyer. Still deeply in love.

This. Book. Is. Phenomenal! 🥑

This was a fun, easy, low angst read. The chemistry between the MCs was depicted amazingly. The story was packed with many hilarious moments which kept me in a cheerful spirt all throughout. I was down for all the quirkiness, cuteness, heartwarming moments, bickering, mischievousness, and the back & forth banter.

I really enjoyed reading Meyer and Archie’s second chance love story and the journey they went through. A true reflection of the hardships we all face and navigate in any marriage. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows. To reap the good, you need to bear through the bad. This was an amazing representation of how sometimes true love needs us to stand up for and fight for it.

The time apart did them well. They were able to grow, figure out what they want, become their own separate person, and reconcile to give their love a second chance. And that epilogue was the cherry on the top.

It’s not shocking at all that I fell in love with another book of Carina. Her writing style has something that always works well for me and keeps me coming back for more. I simply get sucked into whatever ride she comes up with.

I genuinely believe you will love this redemption story as much as I did!

This will always be special to my heart as it was my first ever approved ARC from Netgalley.

Cute book!
This was a light, but sweet read! It is a hilarious second-chance romance that'll have you falling in love with Archie and Meyer. I like how it showed the ups and downs of their relationship and made it very realistic. I recommend this book, the storyline was great!

This reminded me of 50 First Dates. It was okay, I think that the characters were well written. The second chance romance was well done. But I felt that the connection was lacking.

Rate : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre : Contemporary Romance
Author : Carina Taylor

Thank you to Netgalley and Victory Editing for providing me with this eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Imagine you’re going about your day and then receiving a phone call from the hospital that your ex husband has amnesia and believes you’re still married. For most this is something that would be the last thing that would happen or even unimaginable. For Meyer, it’s a reality!

As soon as I read this synopsis, I was hooked. Second chance romance is always a guilty pleasure of mine, with the possibility of rekindling love and watching both characters (or in this case one) longing for the intimacy and the romance back is always something I enjoy reading.

This book is a very quick read. You get so interested in the story that you don’t even realise that you’re halfway through already! It’s such an easy read that I flew through this novel in two sittings! The characters were loveable, the plot was simple yet striking and the writing is so easy to read!

I have to admit, Meyer and Archie’s relationship made my insides feel like jelly! They were adorable! Archie is such a sweetheart! His actions and his love toward Meyer shines through and you can feel the love between these two characters. This novel is just pure love and affection rolled into a book that’s under 300 pages and I loved every drop that the author was giving me!

Carina Taylor has a new fan (and that’s me)! I can’t wait to read more of her novels!

I would definitely recommend this! It’s an easy and quick read to pull you out a slump! It’s cute, it’s fluff overload and it’s just what I needed! If you love romcoms with a side of second chance and lovers overcoming their fears, this is for you! I am definitely up for a reread!

Genuinely fun and enjoyable to read. Gave me Love and Other Words vibes. With lovable main characters, character growth, and a great plot this boom is a must-read.
My issues is with the “big fight”. I feel like it could've been bigger, it didn't seem as big as made to be.
Overall it was a good read and i do recommend

Forget Me Twice was pure entertainment for me. If you are looking for a fast, outlandish, second chance romance, this could be it.
In a nutshell, Meyer agrees to look after her ex husband, Archie, after he has an accident that causes amnesia and he forgets they are divorced. It has forced proximity, fun side characters and funny situations. I just wish we had a little more backstory so I could feel more connected to Meyer and Archie’s relationship.
Overall, this was an enjoyable and comforting read.
