The Order of the Owed #3
Husband Who
All it took was one night — one accident — and their worlds will never be the same…
Lucy
I have no memory of anything before the accident.
Well. No. That’s not true. I know my name and address, but that’s only because my ID tells me who I’m supposed to be. I know I’m alone because it took a week before the cops found anyone who could claim me.
And I know I’m married because the gorgeous man who came stalking into my hospital room tells me that I am.
His face is familiar. I have no reason not to believe him, especially when he admits that we were estranged leading up to that fateful night. He had no idea why I was there, or what I was doing, but it doesn’t matter. My husband swears that he won’t leave my side during my recovery.
That we can start over as we both heal.
He wants a second chance at having a wife. I won’t say no to Dallas being my husband…
I just wish I remembered him.
Dallas
Lucy Wright.
My biggest regret.
I would’ve given up anything for her, even my future as the head of the Order of the Owed. But when she rejected my proposal, I let her walk away. She didn’t have any ties to the society and it was easy for her to leave Harmony Heights.
To leave me.
Four years later, I’m about to move on. I have an offering all lined up, and a wedding to plan—and that’s when I get the call.
Lucy has been hurt. There’s been an accident.
She needs me.
Only… she doesn’t remember me. She doesn’t remember anything. The accident left her with a hole in her memory, and I’m ruthless enough to fill it.
Because Lucy? She’s my wife now, no wedding required.

This didn't really work for me, it had all the things I don't like. A lot of lack of communication, lying, so many secrets, amnesia, lust over intimacy...
The mmc(Dallas) is head of a secret society, and there are rules about who they can marry. The fmc(Lucy) is from a lower family and not a virgin. His dad orchestrated their separation, and her thinking she was saving him married someone else.
Five years later is when the story starts, and she was pushed out a fourth story from a hotel. She has amnesia. He pretends to be her husband, that's when the lying starts. The lies lasted until after 80% of the book. But besides sex, I didn't see much intimacy or love between them. Their relationship in the past was established, we had one scene in the prologue but even that was sex. It was mostly all tell, and not much showing. I wasn't convinced of even Dallas love for her. She was the love of his life that he couldn't move on from, but I just didn't see it. For being king, he came across as very weak. I liked him in the previous books, and wanted better for him. Also, their whole relationship after they got together was all one sided from Dallas.
*mild ow/om drama. He is engaged to be married from someone from The Owed. It was a MOC and nothing happened between them. She does confront the fmc though. There are no scenes between the fmc and her husband, we're just told about what happened.
**TW-There's is also a lot of mention of suicide. The mmc is suicidal, and puts a gun to his head. There are more than one scene where he wants to die.

This is the third book of this series and, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a fan of this author so my reviews are generally positive, but this is a higher caliber than the previous two. The first two are great stories and we have the usual good time we experience with a Hart book, but this one had a depth the others didn’t. The story was well thought out and the characters carried darkness, and trauma, that wasn’t just mentioned as plot but character development. I’ve read almost all of Hart’s books and this is in the top three for me. I’ve also not read a good amnesia story since Rina Kent’s Lies duet, so it was a treat to see this trope well done.
My only criticism is that Hart needs to get her beta readers or proofreaders back on track. There were a handful of small errors, mainly missing letters. While I don’t mind that too much in independently published, as I mentioned, this book did level up so would have been nice to have the polished finish too. That said, it’s minor, and only a handful, and given the depth in this one, I can’t wait for Connor and Haven.

Dallas and Lucy
The only reason I didn't give this 3 stars is because the story was really good,but the amount of typos, missing words and misspelling made this very difficult to read. I had to backtrack many times to try to make sentences make sense.Good story but badly needed a proofreader.
