In the aftermath of destruction, hearts were destroyed, strengths were stripped, and vulnerabilities were exposed.

A community was ripped apart after a tragic accident, and the loss hit one family particularly hard as it claimed the lives of three, leaving only one surviving member to pick up the pieces and move forward.

Baylor’s life was wiped clean in the blink of an eye. No family, no home, no name. That is, until she met Brandt. He took a chance, giving her hope and a reason to start over. A reason to rebuild a life full of forgotten memories. A reason to trust. A reason to love.

Finding love in all the right places should be easy, but when truths are revealed, it's anything but. Brandt will help her rediscover the true meaning of unconditional eternal love that will prove painful, life altering, and redeeming.

Together, they will try to face the future and will use each other’s strengths to learn how to live again. Can they rewrite history, or in the end, will the tragedies of their pasts be too much?

REVIEW BY: Heather

Forgotten Treasures has so many twists turns and surprises that it's so hard not to give anything away. I don't even want to give names lol it's a story about a woman who wakes up from a coma to discover she has a form of amnesia. She remembers things like flowers and what a hair dryer is but anything with any kind of emotional attachment she has no recollection of. A hospital volunteer and his brother take her in and try to help her gain some of her memories and what she discoveries well let's just say it's things that no one would want to remember.

This book started out amazing! The feels were just great! The writing amazing! The characters lovable. Then when it went from the present to the past, it quickly started to do down for me. It's told in dual POV but I couldn't for the life me understand why the female POV was in first person and the Male POV in third person. It really disappointed me. I felt a huge disconnect. Though the premise was a really great one, there was just too much that happened and some of it I couldn't even follow I had to go back and re read.

This book had such amazing potential and I cried my eyes out the first half of the book. I really wish that momentum was kept throughout.

••• Forgotten Treasures ~ Excerpt •••

“This place is unbelievable.” I looked over at him as he stared out the window. “I bet you bring all the girls here.”

“Actually, you’re the first.”

Yep, I was a goner.

“There. Look. A shooting star.” He pointed excitedly.

I caught the end of the blazing trail. “Make a wish.”

“It already came true.” He squeezed my hand.

I didn't think I ever wanted to let it go. It just fit so perfectly with mine, like they were meant to be together. We were meant to be together. I rolled my head to face him while still resting on the headrest. “I like you, Mr. Brandt.”

Instead of answering me, he leaned over the console, causing serious eruptions in my blood. As he got closer, the anticipation had my chest heaving hard for breaths. He reached out and took a lock of hair next to my cheek and stroked it slowly, never losing eye contact. I finally saw that his eyes were a swirl of hazel and green, and his lips only inches from me were a supple red that screamed for mine. His thumb brushed my jawline, causing me to shiver inappropriately. He rested his forehead on mine, trying to control his own urge to jump me.

“I’m going to kiss you, if you’ll let me.” He restrained his whisper.

I couldn't take my eyes off his lips. The words, “Uh-huh,” managed to slip out as we were suspended in air.

He let go of my hair and gripped the back of my neck desperately as he grazed his lips on mine, releasing a gasp from me. I was fully charged and ready to go. I was ready for him to take me to another place. Somewhere I had only read about. A place I never dreamed I would visit.
