ARC Review: Help Me Remember by Corinne Michaels

Corinne Michaels went back to a romantic suspense book with Help Me Remember, adding the brother’s best friend trope.  It worked all the way around for me.

Brielle loses her memory of the last three years.  She has to get it back to help solve the mystery/crime of what happened to her and her brother.  She recruits her brother’s best friend (and her ‘secret’ crush) investigative journalist Spencer to help her.  Told mostly in Brielle’s POV (we get a sprinkling of Spencer when needed) we follow along as the duo uncover what happened to her.

Very quickly we learn Brielle is one hell of a strong woman.  She took on the hard cases at work, she stood up for herself with her brother and his friends and she fought for herself when it was all on the line.  She was determined to retrieve her memories and figure out what happened to her and her brother.  The only time she ever let her guard down was with Spencer.  Without it having to be said, you could tell she was safe with him and trusted him to protect her.  It was wonderful to see her rediscover the Spencer she didn’t remember.

Spencer, Spencer, Spencer.  I don’t know what to say about a man watch his world pulled away and then doing what he had to in order to put it back together. Liam has always been my favorite hero of this author’s but Spencer comes in a very close second.

This was a fabulous read that was very hard to put down to work during the day.  I loved the characters, the storyline and catching up with some old friends.  The Rose Canyon series started off with a bang and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
