"The Tycoon's Forced Bride" by Jane Porter is the story of Malcolm McKenzie and Ava Galvan. Ava is recovering from a life threatening wreck that happened three years ago. She has memory loss and struggles with walking and balance from this accident. The accident caused her to lose her job as an acclaimed ballerina and has also lost her independence. Malcolm has lots of guilt about the night of the accident. Ava was pregnant with his child which he has raised as a single father. Ava is improving, but Malcolm is ready to have his family together. He will do whatever he needs to do to get her back. This was a short read, but wow, it was not missing anything. I loved the things that Malcolm did in order to show Ava his love and to help her to remember the good times they have each day. This is an emotional, heartbreaking, and heartwarming romance. The author pulls the reader in where you feel the characters pain and happiness. The intimate scenes were intense and sensual. I really enjoyed Malcolm and Ava's story. I look forward reading other books by Jane Porter. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and Tule Publishing for an honest review. FYI, contains mature content.

Ava Galvan worked hard for her success in life. In one instant it all changed. Malcolm Makenzie can't forget the argument they had just before he sent Ava home in a taxi, only to receive a call form the hospital that she was clinging to life after an accident...and, she was also pregnant. Their son was born healthy, but her injuries left her in pain, unable to dance, and with a brain injury that affected her short-term memory. After spending time together to make it work, one mistake sends Ava back to New York to try and reclaim her life. Malcolm lets her think he has let her go, while arranging for her job, apartment, and driver to keep an eye on her. Now Jack wants his mother back, and Malcolm wants his wife back, despite her not remembering their wedding day. Ava is stronger, but still doesn't feel she should be in her son's life, not when she can't remember things that happened from one day to the next without her notebook. Malcolm convinces her to take a vacation with him, and sets out to prove she can be a wife and mother. Malcolm made mistakes with Ava, and Ava had so much to overcome, but when they took it one day at a time, they started to sort through the things that kept them apart, Ava started to believe in a future that includes her family. I loved the characters and how they were developed. My heart broke over and over for Ava and all she lost after her accident. The more time we spent with Malcolm, the more human he became and the more I understood him. This was a novella, and a quick read, easy to get into, and hard to put down until I was done. The story was well-written and I enjoyed it. **I received an Advanced Reader's Copy via NetGalley from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.***
