Kissing Kelsey
He only remembers he loves her…
A head injury and resulting amnesia have ended Sergeant Matt Hale’s military career. He can’t remember the man in the mirror, the sister and brother he’s told about, or the family ranch. But when he comes face-to-face with his girlfriend, memories of their high school romance return. With Kelsey by his side, he can deal with all the unknowns.
Except Kelsey Whitley isn’t prepared to stand by the man she walked away from a decade ago. When Matt only remembers their time together and not the breakup—which she was responsible for—his injury and vulnerability keep her lips sealed. Those and the amazing welcome-home kiss he lays on her.
It isn’t long before Matt realizes the truth—and asks Kelsey to stay. Will the hometown girl leave him behind a second time?

2.25 stars.
I enjoyed the clean content, a genuine nice guy H, and the dual povs. However, I did not appreciate the h constantly pushing away the H or the running away she kept on doing. She really annoyed me, to be honest. All the stars are for the writing and the H.

3.5 - Good book
Cute and clean
I didn't really connect with the characters and felt this story wasn't lacking originality and had been told before. However, I'd still pick up another book by this author and will likely read the others in the series.

I liked the relationship between Matt and Kelsey. They had a good push/ pull and a tension that lasted over a decade.

Another cute story continuing on the cowboy fairytales, but now focussing on the cowboys of the Triple H ranch
July 21, 2018
Although hero comes out of the coma very quickly, the portrayal of doubt felt by someone with brain damage is well presented.
Artificial ending.

2.5 stars Intriguing plot idea that wasn't executed very well. The beginning was good, but I could never connect with the characters. Because the book was so short, things resolved too quickly. Overall, it felt unrealistic and underdeveloped, especially with plot lines that were introduced but never explored.
January 4, 2020
The 6th book in this series sees Matt, the wounded military brother of Gideon now married to his princess and living in their kingdom, home from war. Whew!! That was a mouthful. Lol! Anyway, Matt has amnesia and can't remember anything except when he sees he's ex-girlfriend. They restart a relationship and the story goes from there.

I don’t know how Lacy puts a whole story in such a short book, but this one’s not missing anything! I’m looking forward to listening to the rest of the short audiobooks which are roughly 2 hours apiece!

Low 3
Characters decent but some POVs are used solely for setting up next in series, so it opened plot lines it intentionally didn't finish, which makes a reader feel cheated. Ending resolved too quickly.
