Valri Western
This is book #4 in the series of Alaskan Grooms. I, like others, was totally expecting Liam's story to be like the others, even though Liam (in the other books) has been married and we know that his wife died during a search & rescue operation in Colorado 2 years previously. In previous books, Liam has had to deal with his grief and raising his young son alone. As I said, I was expecting Liam's story to be where he finally "turned a corner" and was ready to get married again so he would find a woman who comes to Love, Alaska like the other books in the series. Imagine my surprise when his "deceased wife", Ruby, shows up with amnesia! She is drawn to this town and doesn't know why exactly but is astounded that everyone knows her! Once things are explained to her, she tries hard to "fit in" but her memories do not come back and she struggles. This book was a very good look at how a situation of amnesia could be. Ruby's memory doesn't "magically" come back in a week or anything but she has to trust and have faith every step of the way. Although Liam is very happy she's back and their young son, Aiden, is ecstatic, nothing is easy and I like that immensely about the book! There were many things to work out and I liked how the author chose to show the struggles and the joy because it would take both. I was skeptical at first but the story was written very well and I enjoyed it a lot!
