Just work stuff,” I say, being vague because I really don’t want to get deep into this conversation. In fact, what I really want is to spend time with my daughter. Between my mom and Shawn, I haven’t seen either of the girls. Now is a perfect time to let Everly practice on the guitar. “Hop up.” I pat Whitney on the hip, indicating I want her to get off my lap. “I’m going to go find Everly and see if she wants to practice the guitar.” Tropes or Themes: Second Chance Romance, Childhood Friends, Best Friends, Found Family, Memory Loss, Pregnancy, Death, Lies, Deception, Suspenseful, Past & Present I really do love her name, and although I technically have “everly” inked on my chest, I want her name on me somewhere.

SHANE BRADEN Memories are never forgotten. Or so it’s said, but she did. She forgot herself, me–us. She forgot everything. One day I woke up and there was only pain. This pain so fierce that I can’t overcome it alone. My heart was ripped out of my chest. I’m surviving, but barely. Not even the physical outlet I seek, to purge the torment of remembering the one I can’t let go, helps anymore. In all of his agony, what if the worst of his pain has yet to be expelled? A secret that could have changed everything . . . had he known. WHITNEY LANE Every day that I wake up I’m in a fog. Before ten years ago I feel like I didn’t exist. Everything I knew had been erased. Some days I wish I had bad memories because even those would be better than none at all. Instead, I feel like I’m a character in a storybook, merely acting a role. I don’t know why, but none of it feels real. That’s crazy. Right? Still, I can’t shake the feeling that everyone is hiding something from me. Even the man that lies next to me at night feels like a stranger. I just want to feel like I belong in my own skin. Everything in her life feels borrowed, but that’s a secret better left unspoken. More Than Memories by N.E. Henderson – eBook Details When she takes the instrument, I grin proudly as she positions it on her lap and her hands on the guitar just as I’ve taught her. And now having my own family here, it’s another feeling entirely. Whitney may not be my wife yet, and one day she will be, but she is my family—the girls too. I couldn’t imagine what it would feel like if I were to lose them after just gaining them. I’m . . . good.” She tells me, sounding unsure and making it hard to tell if she’s telling me the truth. I decide not to push. Just think about it. You don’t have to decide today or tomorrow, but you do need something solid for your family.”

It then skips to 10yrs later where we start to see the unravelling of events that lead to the eventual rather dramatic end to a story that on the whole is sometimes heartbreaking but satisfying.

The family indication doesn’t go unnoticed. And it’s not like I haven’t thought about this. I have. I just haven’t allowed myself to stress over it. With all that’s happened, I haven’t had a real chance to let my mind consider much of the future. But letting myself do that now, it makes me realize how much I hate when he’s right. Wait a minute,” I pause, looking down at her. “Whitney. Your mother knows that you know I’m your father?” It takes a chance encounter for her to come face to face with Shane that starts to lift the amnesia she has been struggling with. Yes, but”—She starts shaking her head, vigorously—“I wasn’t supposed to say anything. I’m sorry. I just never know what to call you and . . .” Her words start to get rushed as my blood pressure starts to rise. “I don’t know. I just- I just . . .”I know you do.” She shoots to her toes to kiss me once more. “Now, go. I need to go find the other kid and dump her in a tub or maybe just the bed and bathe her tomorrow.”

Blake’s harassing her and I want it to stop. I want him out of her life, Jacob. There has to be something—anything—that can be done to get him out of her life and out of Emersyn’s. He’s using their daughter to get to her.” The book is beautifully written, in dual POV and kept me on my toes with each heartfelt word. A story full of drama, love, suspense, betrayal, that captivated me and made me ache along with the characters. I didn’t expect that it will be such a combination of feelings – sadness and joy, hope, hate(some people do terrible things for money and some are plain crazy). But I do enjoy a story in which the power of love overcomes the imaginable and ends with a ‘foreverly after’. A couple of weeks ago?” I burst out, unable to contain the rise in my voice and scaring her at the same time. Her body jumps. “Crap. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to frighten you.” More Than Memories is a steamy, dream-come-true, second chance romance. I fell in love with Shane in More Than Lies and have been waiting, rather impatiently, for his story.When she started spouting off her memories, I was both stunned and scared. Scared because I didn’t want to believe it and then it not be real. Like now, as happy as I am to have the three of them in my life, I can’t stop the terrifying feeling it won’t last. Sure. Let’s do that.” I’ve been teaching her the same repetitive chords since she got the basics down. “If you think you’re ready we’ll add more chords tomorrow. Does that sound good?” Is there anything you want to ask me?” She just shakes her head. “You know this means Emersyn’s dad isn’t yours. He was never your father. You know this?”
